A very thorough job! Isn't it great to know your Deuce will start every time! Thank you for the post and the great set of pictures. I'm having battery/starting issues right now that I'm working on. I've been down the wiring, starter, solenoid road myself, so I can well appreciate your...

I love topless pics. Bottomless too. Only women need apply though! I have Firestone T-831s and they have gnarly treads. Great in snow and the one time I drove him up a dirt hill it was no problemo. He climbed a foot high concrete curb once. Again no problem.

Thanks cattlerepairman! You know I just might put it on. I'd just have to lift the battery box up a half inch while pulling to get it all the way out. I'm plenty strong enough to do that. I really liked that picture of you behind the wheel of the Queen! It personalizes things. I didn't realize...

Does anyone know the purpose of this little fella that goes on the bottom of a plastic battery box? I guess it's supposed to limit the travel of the battery box when your just checking the batteries. Thanks!

Great idea! That way you don't have to worry about them. As far as the seals go, I used a 10' length of 1/2 inch steel pipe with a cap on the end facing the seal to tap them out with a few light hammer blows. The 1/2 inch pipe goes right through the differential. You just strike from the...

I'm getting impatient to install my new batteries in Brutus. The steel for the battery support I have to fabricate is coming Wednesday. So in the mean time, I decided to mount the freshly painted handles on my used plastic box. I used 10-24 x 3/4" stainless machine screws and Stainless Nylock...

hgun....I print copies of the specific task I'm going to perform from my CD before starting. That way the only things that gets greasy are me and the paper.

hgun....I wonder if the cost of buying new A2 bearings plus the cost of the machine work on the spindles would be more money than the cost of the A3 bearing sets alone. Also, if the A3 spindles are stronger than the A2's, would it make more sense to keep the stock configuration? Just speaking as...

Many people use battery powered tools these days. It might be nice just to keep it portable and throw it in the bed of your truck if you think you'll need it. Just my two cents.

Yeah, yet another Deuce project spiraling out of control. I actually ordered new steel c-channel and flat stock so I could make a new battery support frame. And the beat goes on. Labor of love? More like a sickness. Got my second Covid shot at the VA yesterday.

Well, I guess now that the "Queen" is out of hibernation, I have no excuse for not beginning my yardwork! Nice about the Waterloo O.D. mod. Hell, when I'm doing 50 mph with my non-LDS truck, even a .000005% grade will slow me down a bit.

I do Tracer, but it's in so-so condition. A brandy new one is $42 from Erik's.

Very ambitious Dino68. Good luck on the project. I've had Ouverson hubs on my bobber for eight years now. They have always functioned flawlessly. I also installed all of the JATonka spin on kits fuel and oil. They are worth every penny. Erik is a great supplier. I've used him many times. Good to...

My new batteries. Ain't they purty! So beautiful I want to put them in my living room. Had to order steel c-channel for the battery mount online at Metals Depot today. The local hardware places don't have the right sizes. The true cost of owning a Deuce. Time, materials, parts and etcetera! I...

a 5 way adds chopped onion.

Now I remember! It sure sounds good! Fayetteville sounds more Kentuckian to me. Live and learn......or not. Thanks for the reply!

Today, I discovered that my battery mount u-channels were partially corroded all the way through. Rust holes that is. Not structurally sound. Bummer. I'm either going to buy one or fabricate one. I had to use my cut off wheel and a chisel and hammer to cut off the four nuts that hold it onto the...

Hank your truck is beautiful! What a magnificent job you did on that!

Thanks for the pics Tracer! Boy, that thing is huge! I remember seeing a picture on the Memphis Equipment website for a similar but smaller unit on a Deuce. It had a regular mushroom inlet on top of the filter housing and the outlet to the turbo was on the back of the filter housing. I'm going...

I'm going to have to ask my brother what 3/4 ways is. He would know. Is Fayetteville across the river in Kentucky?
