Where's it at exactly? I got a towbar, some borrowed tow lights, and a deuce in Buckeye, I'm off Mon and Tues, but I got something going early on Mon morning. Maybe after 10 or 11 AM. Call my cell 623-302-2446

Thanks for the help, that was the scematic I was looking at, but couldn't figure out what the box was that the brown wire (which I assume is the "excitor" wire) went to. Maybe with your description I'll figure it out. My m1009 does not have the volt meter, I think that belongs up on the top...

What part of AZ? I'm in Buckeye.

A couple weeks ago my Gen 1 light came on while driving, a little research in the CUCV forums showed me this was not a good thing. After reading and hard copying many different posts, I decided to order two heavy duty 27 SI rebuild kits. I disconneted the battery, removed and rebuilt Gen 1...

WARTHOG THANKS! that was the wire in question. I figured it out on my own (eventually) I noticed the clamp left the wire completely clean where it clamped the wire, the back side of the wire was cleaner than the rest of the wire but not as clean as where the clamp held it in place. So once I...

Actually that doesn't help. That's basically the same set up as in the Delco-Remey manual I down loaded. I have a seperate wire that goes across the top of the condensor,, and is held in place by a little sheet metal clamp. It has connectors on both ends that go to what? Thanks for your help...

I screwed up. I forgot to draw a diagram of the inside of the ALT before I disassembled her. I figured I had run off a copy of the Delco-Remey manual I found on this site and was good to go as it had pictures. But when I went to reassemble it I ran into a dilema, the picture doesn't match my...

So would it be cheaper/more relable/or any more benificial to run the less complicated Detroits Lockers in the rear(s), and a ARB up front? Just curious as I'd like to turn my deuce into the ultimate desert cruiser.

Thanks for the responses. To all of you YES.....that helped! I wondered about reusing the fiber washers so that's ok if they're not damaged....cool, I'm saving money already! And now I know 100 amps, and which kit to buy. As to the electricity vrs water analogy that was perfect as I work for a...

Did the North road trip to Crown king about 15 years ago in my M35 gasser, to go rescue a hunter's stuck pickup truck, I was going to go up the East road off of !-10 but my budd says, "hey this way looks shorter." Never trust your friends when it's your vehicle that has to make the trip! My...

Now before you beat me up for adding yet another alternator thread, be advised I spent over 7 hours searching the arcivies, and I learned a LOT!! I have always feared electric systems as I don't know an amp from a ohm, or a volt. However since I was able to download the alternator rebuild...

Welcome to the site, I live just down the road from you in Buckeye, I sent you a PM

I like your throttle control and seat mods. I installed 2004 Mustang seats that look identical to yours except mine are grey. Man what a difference in the ride, I hope to make a 18 hour trip (9 up/9 back) at the end of the month, I'm almost looking forward to it! I already done that trip once...

How would a tilt hood work on a winch truck? I see issues.

Talk to the guy on here, that brought the halftrack home, he would know the real scoop on how to get it done....if it can be done.

You need to remove the grill guard, put some penetrating oil on those bolts/nuts. I like Kroil, but lately i use a homemade concoction of 50%acetone/50%automatic transmission fluid, and it seems to work as well. just don't get any on you as acetone is considered a carcenagenic. My first winch...

Good use of a forklift. Great "recovery." When I got my M35A2 Deuce, it had the usual DRMO forklift damage to both running boards, and the toolbox on the drivers side was pushed up against the cab. I studied it for a while, and figured if hydraulics (DRMO's forklift) had created this mess...

I've only seen the lifting bars on USMC trucks, though I have a friend far more knowedgable than me who claims they were standard equipment for the Army also. I've only seen them on two USMC trucks (both surplussed) one in use at an airport here in AZ, and mine. I bought a derlict, engine...

Thanks for all the help/advise. Yeah....someday a multi-meter, and the knowledge to use it. I'm ordering a starter, but I will whack mine with a hammer just to see if it'll start, before I disconnect the batteries and remove it, I'm just curious to see if it will start. Hopefully by the end...

Thanks for all the input so far. Yes she's home safe and sound. I have no way to check the batterie under load, but they are brand new, they "should" be fine. QUESTIONS: So there is a solonoid on top of the starter, and another one under the dash? How can you check the one under the dash...
