    saturday did just shy of a 300 mile round trip to swap the 109 box for a dropside bed, truck did well on its longest trip yet, haven't filled it to check mileage yet, actually haven't even left the house yet from general start of vacation lazyness and soreness. truck is a bit more spunky and on...

    Shield Deuce

    mine actually worked the last time i grounded the bare wire where the horn button should be, one of these days ill install the button kit i bought. guessing the holes in the bed were from a prop weapon, maybe even a camera mount to get double duty from the truck

    Timber Rattlesnake on Air Cleaner

    hit the roll up at work last year and a baby rattler about a foot long starts looking for a new place to hide, i tried giving him some shelter under my boot but he fell asleep and didn't wake up, tossed him back into the ditch he likely came from

    Super singles on M920

    yea really, lost a dogbone that i had plated on the deuce when i recovered my 105 in jenerette, would probably be smoother driving in the field next to the road

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    used mine as a mobile compressor/rescue vehicle this morning, mom got a flat, the factory jack disintegrated and the spare was low from the phone call, figured the easiest thing was toss a jack in the deuce and take it instead of looking for a air pig and charging it off my home compressor, just...

    What hitch for a M105A1?

    well just cause i have a semi relevant pic, a empty buffalo ain't as portly as a 105 but my squareburb didn't mind dragging it across town then home after work, if needed i'd drag my 105 with it but not with any sort of real load

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    had another tree dive across my dead end street, large oak that died last year after the city sprayed the canal behind my house, base is a full 5' across. mom screwed up the video and this is all i could salvage, ground was about as grippy as you could hope for, locker in the front diff was...

    Ready for the long haul!

    shouldn't, i just did mine while it was handy

    Ready for the long haul!

    too short on the belt and you will have problems with it dropping between the halves of the pulley, my belt that came in a set was a pain to get in the groove and that was with the radiator out, soapy water will allow the outer pulley to slip against the belt as you tighten the pulley against it

    Ready for the long haul!

    loose is fine, yes it widens the gap, this should help with part numbers https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fetlT06G7eO_aKOzME_VqusYIMdXdyKkeSYW80JaVQI/htmlview

    Ready for the long haul!

    the inner pulley is secured to the shaft of the compressor, the outer should spin assuming rust has not welded it solid, the two bolts just cinch it to the shaft so it doesn't turn and loose adjustment, you may need penetrating lube, i ran my outer pulley completely off the shaft and cleaned up...

    Ready for the long haul!

    the compressor has its own belt and the pulley is a two piece arrangement that serves as the adjustment, loosen two bolts and the outer half of the pulley spins closer or away from the inner half changing the gap between the two, without the special wrench you will need soapy water to help the...
