Replaced all oil and fuel filters with NAPA Gold filters and changed the engine oil. Looked all over town for 80W-90 with the proper API/SAE ratings for the deuce transmission with no luck. I found one quart of Lucas 80W-90 with the MT1 and MIL rating, and apparently their store doesn't offer...

I normally don't get involved in these discussions but I can't help but wonder how you can have the tools and skill to bob a deuce, but not even know where the brake light switch is, or how to troubleshoot the electrical system. You actually set out to drop an axle, cut the frame, and replace...

I see that but those systems used "mechanical analog computers" which were also called "differential gear train analyzers." I don't fully understand their use, but I have a general understanding of the concept. I understand the previously mentioned weapons systems are large and the gear train...

OK, this thing has completely derailed my work day! I'm now obsessed with figuring this out. I'm chuggin' coffee and eating pistachio's and reading like a crazy man. I'm convinced that the device is a mechanical integrator, an early form of a computer used to calculate differential equations...

I did some quick reading and it looks like a component of a fire control system used to aim a gun. There were several systems in the '50's including the MK56 Gun Fire Control System and the Mark I Fire Control Computer. I need to do some more research on the subject. It looks really...

Yep, I made it back home about 3:00 after a couple of stops. My neighbor was cutting trees and running a skid steer in the back yard. He dropped a tree through his privacy fence about 5 minutes after I drove up. His wife called him a few funny names (I thought they were funny) and then I drifted...

1000 EDT I plan on being there a bit early so the boys can look around. I did a thorough pre-ride and Loki85 showed up just in time to help me get a missing pivot bolt replaced on the DC generator on my deuce. She's ready to go now.

Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow. Be safe.

Welcome from Canton, GA. The first SSGR that I attended, I was there in my Toyota FJCRUISER. I had a great time in my civi truck and everyone welcomed me on the trail rides and i met some great people. I was hooked and bought a truck soon thereafter. Did the rally again (2012) with my deuce and...

I better be seeing you at the 57th FG on Sunday! I'll be glad to help you with your truck. I'm no expert, but I have learned a few things in the past year or so. We can even do an inspection on Sunday and make a list of things that need attention and then work through the list over the next few...

Wheel chock. That's pretty darned funny.

I think that is a heck of an idea. I'll bring my M35A2. I'll PM my details to you.

Good thinking. I could go for something in June. Got to watch out for Father's Day on the 16th. My family gives me the day to do whatever I want, but that may not be the case for others.

That's just nasty.

Dangerous, go for something in mid-July. Avoid Independence Day weekend as a lot of us do parades and such. Let's find a unique place that we wouldn't ordinarily go, or maybe piggyback on a related event like a hotrod show, race or 4x4 show or event. Mud bogs over in Paulding county...

Dangeroustyz is stumping for an MV gathering/event in July. I'm not against it, but it's hard to deal with stop and go traffic around ATL in a deuce when it's 95 degrees and 90% humidity. My Anti-Monkey Butt powder just can't keep up with the that.

Dangerous, it's a good time over at Zout's. Just don't turn your back on him, or bend over in front of him, or fall asleep around him.

Dangerous, I know how you feel. I worked on my truck and drive solo for quite a while before the first opportunity to join up with other MV's. I think the first time was last years 57th Fighter Group breakfast. Right after that I went to Zout's cookout for the first time. Then I did a couple...

Zout, thanks for putting that out there. I had forgotten about DST! Everybody bump your clocks forward an hour Saturday night and don't be late Sunday morning!

I'll be bringing my 12 year old son. I tried to get my brother to come with us, but he's anxious to get out in his boat with the nicer weather. Looking forward to seeing you there.
