    Successful Deuce Recovery

    Thanks Ron, I'll know more when I change fluids throughout the whole truck. Hopefully it's just that rear axle, everything else seems fine. I'll be picking up a replacement axle on December 2, hopefully I can start with the axle swap that following weekend. And thanks for your service in...

    Successful Deuce Recovery

    LOL, I was wondering how long it was going to take! :wink: I was so intent on loading it, I didn't notice how tall it really was until I stepped back to gather up my chains & binders....then it hit me & I thought "HOLY CRAP, that thing sure looks bigger on the back of a trailer!!!" No worries...

    Successful Deuce Recovery

    Hi Jerry, thanks very much! Sorry it's not an A3 like you told me to get... :smile: My wife can live with this bargain, not so much the cost of an A3. The original owner said he bought it from a GL auction in California and used it for work for a couple of years, before a disgruntled...

    Successful Deuce Recovery

    Very true, and I couldn't find where it leaked out from either. I hope I don't have to replace the master cylinder. I was going to fill & bleed this weekend, but then realized that I need to swap axles first, so I don't waste brake fluid. I'll check afterwards, if it's leaking, then there...

    Successful Deuce Recovery

    You got that right! Even though it was dark out, more folks than not would hang out near my blind spot while passing, I think they were trying to make sure they weren't hallucinating! ;)

    Successful Deuce Recovery

    Thanks for the kind words fellas! I really appreciate it! Good day today: got the Deuce off-loaded and parked! I found the source of the fuel leak, it was the rubber flexible supply line coming into the bottom of the injection pump. I had some new fuel line in the same size (thank God I have...

    Successful Deuce Recovery

    I've been watching an ad on Craigslist for a Deuce in the 29 Palms area that had either a bad rear axle or a transfer case problem, and was for sale for a STEAL. So, I finally got enough saved up to go and buy her. Thankfully, she had a clear California title and a Non-Operational certificate...

    Info on these tires? BF Goodrich Silvertown Intercity 1100 x 20

    Those are CLASSICS! Haven't seen that BFG script on a sidewall in quite some time. Hope the tubes are in better shape than those casings!

    WOW, brush truck 45

    I like the side-view mirrors they used on it...are those from a newer Topkick/Kodiak? Very nice!

    M-35 Air Starter

    Air starters are popular in Australia. As an emergency reserve, some Aussie truckers carry connectors for their tires to power the air starter. There's a lot of compressed air in Deuce tires. I have a 1948 Caterpillar D4 crawler with a pony motor for starting; it's BEE-YOTCH to use. It has...

    Collector's M35 at most recent Barrett-Jackson

    CRAP! Sorry fellas, I looked but obviously didn't look hard enough.... Now I feel really stupid since 100% of the proceeds went to charity, to help military vets in post-service careers, etc... I wish B-J would have pointed this out, that would explain the higher price. The buyer really...
