G'day everyone,....
Well its not so much as 'what did I do to my Deuce this week' but what I did for it this week.
I ordered a 60Ltr drum of gear oil for it, I may get the Deuce out this weekend and as long as it dose'nt snow like it has the last few days here I might get to take it for a joy...
G'day everyone,...

I Kept pumping new grease into the grease nipples until the old grease or new grease appeared,
With the winch PTO at the gearbox end I just pumped...

G'day everyone,....
Well as somebody who lives in an arid country and deals with temps over 40deg C with bugs etc,... we put fly screen in front of our radiators and it works just fine!
It will not restrict airflow at all.
You can put the fly screen between the radiator and the brush guard so...
G'day everyone,....
I have a saying:
"When you lose sight of your childhood, that's when you grow old and die!"

G'day everyone,....
I removed the airline just where it connects to each wipers pneumatic motor and dripped a little air tool oil into the airline itself then reconnected it.
Then when I used the wipers the oil was fed into the system to coat the interior cylinder and piston.

G'day everyone,....

Everyone asking, "where did ya get it,.... How much did it cost,.... What ya doin with...
G'day everyone,....
I put the bows on today, (finally!)
Did'nt quite get to put the cargo cover on yet, maybe tomorrow.
Took a load of garden waste to the tip along with an old fridge and TV.
Got swarmed by the workers there who wanted to look at and have their pictures taken with the Deuce...
G'day everyone,....
WOW that was great going at only $300.00, I was quoted $4,000.00 as mine was classed as commercial simply because of its size.

G'day everyone,....
I kinda don't wanna know what the 'ferry ride' cost because I once got a quote to take my Deuce over to Tassie,....

Great find and I hope its not going to be more...

Things like hard lines and flexible lines are generic and any brake place here can make them.
When I collected mine from AQIS I found one...
G'day everyone,...
I'm next door in Victoria.
You got a great find there.
Would love to see more pictures and any video, maybe while you are getting it started, I'm sure we would all love to see and hear it running,....
I hope you get to fully restore it back to its former glory.
