When I type a long post I must keep jumping from one item to another (or page) or I am logged out, and have to refresh the page and or log in over again. Have not found a cure for that yet. With or without the remember me. Seems like a "timing error" somewhere in the software.

If you haven't fixed it yet, Taking a long shot from a long distance, (at "base and safe") I would star it. Turn on everything and watch the volt/amp indications. Are they stable?, Rev up the engine steadily watching and listening to the indications. Let it idle (all on still) now repeat the...

That looks one way big demanding task. With all the time effort and money to put into it, does that not equate to just buy a complete clean, finished working example?

So then you will have a tidy (and tough) truck, complete with all the kit you need to go plow.

On a clean dry shelf. Oiled well would be good, as would wrapped.

That is quite some collection. You have your own "army". I liked the Aussie (upside down things!.)

I am SO jealous! wish that opportunity would occur over here, Ho hum.

Fantastic videos on the two stroke motor, and great job you are doing restoring it. I like your M45 fire truck, looks like I "imagined" and manufactured my battery/tool box about right!.

That is going to be one great job of restoration. All the best to you in your endeavors. Looking forward to progress pictures, (and a Video of the first drive!)..

That all? did you purchase a dozen? (or so..) lol

Pictures of the truck already "as is" would be nice, and then of the project progress and completion.

If the in tank pump is actually turning, I would check if the pre-igniter is functioning. If the flame heater works as it should per the starting instructions, and the vehicle fires up ok, then that would be the method of starting for me. One of my deuces fires before the engine turns over...

A temporary bodge?

The exhaust should point away from the rear anyway. And plenty of owners raise the canvasses on both deuces and larger trucks for headroom etc when camping.

Crikey! I thought you had purchased a "small toolbox" or portable generator! Until I clicked your link. What ARE you going to do with that lump?. (breeding chickens comes to mind(keep em' warm?)). Anyway Welcome to the site, and now you need to by the rolling stock (you mentioned) to pull it...

And the obligatory pictures of the journey and completion, Good luck on your quest, hopefully successful.

Do not use so much force, and try silicone or (better) use washing up liquid or a slimy soap.

Another tip for you, When you have checked your bearings and adjusted them as per the appropriate T.M. And before putting wheels back on, Grease or oil the wheel studs. This will ensure Even and Adequate Torque on the wheel (and wheel nuts). If threads are "dry" they Can (will!) bind to varying...

The method you have used is the best way on those vehicles, and you seem to have got it just right. As said previously, if it does not ping in high gear pulling, or on hills then your fine.

For crying out loud, CHECK YOUR WHEEL NUTS IMMEDIATELY. (or sooner!) And wheel bearings, Before doing a full all round inspection to check and perform necessary maintenance on your truck. And can we have pictures of your vehicle please. Now, Welcome to the site, Hobby, friendships, And events to...
