I put a load on it and the voltage increased from 14.25 to 14.39 volts.

I don't think anything is wrong- I was clued in to this possibility by a friend. He said he was surfing the net for deuce info and found something (he thought it was Wikipedia), that stated that deuce alternators made after 1980 had dual voltage capability. I was unable to find what he was...

I recently discovered there is a terminal on the alternator of my A2 deuce that puts out 14 volts. It is next to the 28 volt terminal that is connected to the starter solenoid. Does anybody know what it's for and can it be used to supply 12 volts to accessories like CB radio, cell phone...

Let us know how it holds up!

Your project looks great! I've been finishing wood for over 20 years and you'll find that cherry darkens wildly with UV exposure. Film finishes like poly lay on the surface of the wood instead of soaking in. In the Az sun it doesn't last more than about a summer before it starts to turn white...

Thanks Phil! You're right- great explanation. I did some reading and some people claim that lockers make tire scrubbing in turns worse- also that lockers can cause under steer and other problems when coming out of a turn, especially on snow & ice. I thought lockers would improve these problems- no?

Would somebody please explain what these "lockers" do? How many do you need for a deuce? Are they different from the front axle lock-out hubs? Thanks! :-)

What is Butox doing in paint- ain't ya sposed to stick that in your face to make it puff up or sumpin?

Too funny!! When I was a kid my parents had every Bill Cosby record-wish I still had them. My favorite routine was "Chicken Heart".

Ahh- I'm not going along with that one. lol! Gotta be something else- right?

Welcome from Glendale! So you just have the M151 left?

Do you know what the OP needs to do to fix the problem? I would be interested also. I painted my deuce with Gillespie forest green semi-gloss and used Rustoleum in a rattle can to stencil on the lettering. No problems with that.

Bedankt voor de link! Ziet eruit alsof je een hoop werk voor je. Succes!

Hallo uit Arizona. Kun je geen foto's plaatsen?

The Grote part # is 76283 for the 24v rotating beacon with 2 sealed beam lamps. There are a few places on-line that carry them from about $95 to $150. Another option is the Whelen RB6P- same size housing but has a large reflector that rotates around a halogen bulb. Very bright- there's a video...

Are these beacons anything like the ones on the 2.5 ton convoy lights? If so, Grote makes a 24 volt rotating amber beacon (just like the discontinued Federal beacon). Available on Amazon and a few other on-line vendors for about $100.

Jeepsinker- sorry to hear about your accident. I hope all goes well and you recover quickly. I witnessed 2 accidental discharges (at the police academy during advanced officer training no less) and I know getting shot is no laughing matter. Stay safe my friend. Mark

I have to agree that searching usually brings up lots of irrelevant information which is difficult, especially for new members to wade through. Giving someone enough information to search successfully is always a good thing!

Just out of curiosity, how cold was it at night? Would cooler night temps have "firmed" the ground up enough to get out at night? Just a thought...

Wow- that is a mess! Wish I could help but I'm sure somebody else will. Keep us updated- some of us rarely ever get to see something like that. :-)
