G'day everyone,....

G'day everyone,....

Today is a fairly dry day, not raining or drizzling at all.
So I made a start on removing the broken compressor belt, loosened off the alternator and get under my Deuce,....
Can I get the belts off,... no! of course not,...

G'day everyone,....
That may be so but I am not going to set up accounts everywhere I go just to get the odd item when most places let you buy without creating accounts.
I've bought things from e-bay before without having to have an account, this is something they have changed since.
Thats...
G'day everyone,...
Well the listing on E-bay is the same place that wants to rip me for over $500.00 to ship it to me.
I also saw the fording snorkel I want for my Deuce.
Can't get it on E-bay because it wants me to set up an account first.
Aussie.
G'day everyone,....
Just out of curiosity, dose anyone have a set they can sell me?
I'm sure posting it to me will be a bucket load cheaper,...

Aussie.
G'day everyone,....
Well yesterday I dug out the belt for my Deuce out of my spares stockpile and took them to my local parts store.
I asked if they had the same sized belts.
They had one of each, I got them and ordered two more of each.
Now i just have to replace the actual shredded belt...
G'day everyone,....
Yeah I thought of that but I will just use the new belt to get another of the same size and keep that one I have already in my spares,....
Aussie.
G'day everyone,....
So where were we,....

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...
G'day everyone,....
In two days I'll be getting my Deuce out of storage, the next day I plan to take it on a LONG trip to go meet a M109 owner who is working on his to get it ready for its roadworthy so he can get it on the road.
I can't believe there is a M109 down here yet alone within...
G'day everyone,....
Just use a small UHF radio with VOX easy.
Plus its portable and not fixed to the vehicle so you can use it in other applications/enviroments.
Aussie.
G'day everyone,....
Not what I did with my M105A2 but I did print out the workshop manual for it, all 448 pages.
Printed it out on A3 sized paper, also had it double sided so that made the actual pages 224 pages.
Next job will be the manual for the Deuce.
Aussie.
G'day everyone,......
Thats a beautiful sound!
I have a NOS Whistler that was still in its crate, never used.
When I get time its the last missing piece for my Deuce so I'll fit it later.
Aussie.
