I've done that for decades 18. I also use boxes for holding bolts when I paint them. I punch holes in the box and then insert the bolts or screws. I usually spray the bolts with CRC contact cleaner or brake cleaner which removes any fingerprints or oils first and then evaporates without leaving...

They sure are clear aren't they! The wiper motors are easy. The only reason they're not in is because I'm painting their mounting screws OD green right now. Oh, I almost forgot I have two new wiper blades coming Tuesday from Erik's. About the big box. My plan is to put the box in the bed with...

Fellas the new windows are in. As with all things Deuce a bit of drama was involved. I can't tell you how long it took me, because to do so would instantaneously invalidate my manhood. My first order of business was to make sure that my face, iphone, best bluejeans, and any freshly painted OD...

Thanks 18! That was exactly my plan! Just about to install the driver's side right now. Boy, those are some itsy bitsy little screws that hold the leaf hinges to the frame. I dropped one. God knows where it is. Thanks for the photos also. I am doing this outside as always.

Thanks for the encouragement 18! I know they're simple, but I just worry about dropping one while I'm try with the other hand to put the leaf hinge screws in. I already have the leaf hinges on the window frames. Can you install the leaf hinges first and then connect the individual windows to...

Mike, ttat was a great post! I replaced my inner seals last Summer. It went well, but I wished I'd found your post before I did it.

Got my new windows yesterday. Boy, are they beautiful! I'm kind of scared to install them, but I may try it today. I sure wish I had my son "soldier B" around to help me. An extra pair of hands would be helpful.

Sorry to post so much but, nothing will drop out of the locking hubs when you remove them. All of the internal parts are held in place by a whomping big internal snap ring if my memory serves me.

Yup. It's exactly like taking off the splined cap. The reverse is true for installation. I usually put both hubs in "unlocked" before I remove or install them. They are internally splined to slip over the stub drive axle splines.

In these photos ( especially the one before I painted them recently ) you can see the Allen head bolts you'll have to remove.

I installed Ouverson hubs on my Deuce. If your locking hubs are anything like mine they require no special techniques to install or remove. My hubs use Allen head bolts. Once you remove those bolts the hubs will come right off in your hands. Installation is the reverse. Just make sure you have...

I need to do all that myself, except for the wiper control!

Yup, I use Dot 5 in my Deuce. That is some really good stuff. Seems to bleed easily and doesn't attract water. Leaves paint alone too. I'm just painting nuts and bolts today in 383 OD green for installation on Brutus. I still haven't been able to get the 12" x 24" 16 ga. sheet of steel I need to...

You know....about a half year ago I was following an M37 in my car that looked as if it were in museum quality. It was fascinating to see. Looked like it could go anywhere!

I looked Juniata County up. You are well south west of me almost in central Pennsylvania. I bet it's beautiful out your way. I would imagine there is plenty of farm land in Juniata. Thanks for your reply!

Orrisd, Thank you for your explanation. I'll be contemplating that next Spring. I'm thinking about new fenders too. The area behind the front tires ( like the floor boards and channels ) must be a real problem on Deuces. The front tires just sling all of the TDG right up in there. There's...

Very interesting. That's a lot of work running hard lines. I'd really like to see some photos of your rocker panel replacement. I will have to do mine next Spring. I know you can buy weld in replacement panels. How did you do yours?

I agree with you Frank that copper based is best. I used to have some, but some of the bolts and nuts I took off today had the silver stuff and they came apart after years of being bathed with Pennsylvania "Truck Destroyer, Granular". From here on in I'll refer to it as simply PTDG. The copper...

I wonder, does your M135 use the old DOT3 brake fluid? DOT3 is nasty stuff. It will remove paint better than any commercial paint stripper you can buy. It also attracts moisture and so it can cause rust inside a brake cylinder if the fluid is low and there is air present. I learned both of...

Aussie enjoy your time off and give your Deuce the TLC it needs!
