.G'day everyone,....
Well yesterday I went on a road trip in the Deuce.
Went to meet up with a guy who bought I though had bought a M109 but it was in fact a M185A3.
Anyway I took him a complete PDF copy of the workshop manuals and we had a great chin-wag about the trucks.
This guy is ex army and was also their driving instructor, he has always wanted a Deuce since he first saw them when 'the
yanks' bought them over here for joint exercises to train with the aussie army, it turns out they left a lot of them behind and
thats why there are a few down here, (This was news to me.) some were scrapped and some found there way into private collections. he got his from
a deceased estate, came with tools and a soft top for it.
Also he has a International MkIII in his workshop, I forgot to get any pictures of it with all the talking,..
Anyway as I was early for our arranged time to meet and I had been driving for 1.5 hrs I stopped in the town just before
where we were to meet to stretch and have some of my traveler coffee I made for the trip.

To be continued,......
Aussie,
The "Twins" look really nice together!
Hat to hear that your compressor belt shredded.
On the other hand, at least it got you home.
Compressor wrench would be nice to have but maybe you could roll the new belt onto the pulley.
