I think that's a great idea. Keeps you from becoming battery-poor replacing batteries in trucks that are not routinely used. How about mounting a slave-cable receptacle on the skid, permanently connected to your good batteries? Then you could use a complete slave cable. You could also set...

Every time the lid or cover on the MC is removed to check the fluid level, air enters the system from the outside allowing moisture to enter the system, and additionally from venting. As the temperature drops, water condenses and immediately mixes with glycol-based brake fluid. Over a period...

I'm sticking with DOT 5.

I have had excellent luck with 6TL batteries. Both of my deuces came with 6TLs installed and one is still running with the original 6TLs. With my M35A2, I replaced the original 6TLs this year with new Interstate 6TLs. Based on the date codes on the original 6TLs, I have gotten excellent service...

You actually didn't need to separate the batteries to charge them separately.

Deuces are all 28 volt systems. You have two 12 volt batteries hooked up in series. How are you trying to charge the batteries? Do you have a 24 volt charger? If so, you charge the batteries at the same time in series. If you have a 12 volt charger you will need to charge each battery...

For what it's worth, my MEP-003a doesn't spark when I connect the battery cables. I just checked again to confirm. I keep a Soneil Model 2404SX1 charger on mine continuously to keep the batteries charged and in good condition. I have two more I keep on my two deuces. Great little chargers.

I use the winch in my A2 several times per month, mostly pulling logs and rock on the property, and I have never sheared a pin. I also have a winch on my A3, but I have never used it. A winch is extremely useful. Personally, I wouldn't consider a deuce without a winch and I love the Garwood...

I once purchased a 1962 Triumph TR3 with wire wheels. Little did I know that someone had switched the front hubs, left to right. After driving for one day, I lost the left front wheel while driving. The right front knockoff was also loose. Keep the left hand studs.

I'm glad to hear that you got it working properly. :beer:

Ditto!

You should never try to turn the wheels while the vehicle is stationary. This is true for all vehicles as it places significant stresses on the steering system components. Jack the front end off the ground and cycle back and forth. I didn't use MMO, i used air tool oil exclusively and i added...

The Air-O-Matic on my M35A3 is installed the same as your photo. Not sure if it really makes a difference which way it's installed as long is it's plumbed correctly. However, I've attached Bulletin 82809 from Air-O-Matic which specifically states that "The rotating end of the torque valve is to...

Before you do anything else, do as Doghead said and clean all filters on the fuel pumps and replace the large fuel filters, Fram C1125PL. You can also replace the filters on the pumps, but these are very expensive and hard to find. They are relatively easy to clean. You should also flush out...

Looks very good!

I had a friend that paid dearly in Alabama when his pickup was checked and he had offroad in it. They check the color, not the composition. Remember also that the fine is for not paying road taxes. Remember, there were no road taxes paid on ATF either. Offroad is plentiful in rural areas...

You can definitely exceed the engine red line in an A3 and it is very easy to do.

There is no slipping in an A3. The 1545 transmission locks up.

It sounds like the Dulicolor paint is designed for interior use from your description. I would recommend contacting the Dulicolor technical serivice group and ask the question if it is good for exterior use.
