Put in a set of glow plugs. Made a world of difference. Would'nt start without plugging in at 32 degrees. Tested and found six to be bad. All set for winter now.

Yes, tires are from snow train, and yes, they did try to get our attention before shootin pics. Just can't hear knockin on the door at all (need doorbell i guess), but the wife saw them and went out to inquire. Then she actually told me to take pics.....otherwise I would'nt have tried it:)

not sure how they found it, or who they were actually, but these two ladies appeared in my yard, knocked down 7ft tall weeds, just to get some pics in my G-ride. can't even see it from the road, they must have mad mv finding skills. brightened up the place for a bit, so no harm.

Bed pics now, maybe... and my grandson Ryan

So, I started off my monday with some clean veggie oil, checked the vitals, and ventured off into my yard. Just one little drainage to cross and I got an acre to make an oval track in. Eased into the drainage and then backed out, got out and looked it over. Then I made a bad choice. First...

First mud! Yanked two school buses out of captivity, one on its way to a new home. Was a good time and everything worked just fine. Got to spin the tires and even busted my big ole tow line.

I got my deuce home without much going wrong. It was only 4 miles in all. Did a fluids check and all was good. Throttle return spring broke after first mile. Tried some zip-ties, but spring quickly stretched right next to that spot. Tied small rope to pedal and got it done. Parked her...

Well, i went and got me another deuce! my 3rd. It's a multi-fuel that runs just fine, has tires that are holding air, and lots of character. I can pick up right away, make payments, and it was only $1000! will save half that in moveing my stuff around and out of the yard, like two school...

Bent up some metal strapping and made little clips to hold my blowgun in the rear window. Only thing I'm willing to risk loseing! Took about 5mins, but i laughed for much longer.:roll:

I asked the two auto parts stores to see the parts before i started rippin into it, thats when all the wrong parts started pileing up on the counter. None of them looked like my parts. Finally downloaded the pics from the TM and then got the right parts. Was simple after that, I guess more...

Well, stickin with my usuall methods, I read a few post on the matter, swapped out the cheapest part, then the next...and so on. so now i got nice leaf springs, new shocks, axle u joints, seals and wheel bearings...brakes..tierods and steering stabilizer...wow...lots of stuff. still had cab...

Stopped by the local alternator shop and had my friend test my batteries as i have been haveing trouble starting in the mornings. one batt was in good shape, the other was stone dead. I hear thats worse than just one good batt. got new one in and was amazed at how fast my starter twistes up!
