New member DonaldB came today to pick up his deuce that I picked up from Ft McCoy a few weeks back. I have changed the oil, replaced the air compressor, installed all new fuel filters, field patched a fuel leak, replaced the master cylinder and replaced one wheel cylinder. Now it is up to him...

I am working on a deuce for another member and the air compressor belt loosened up when I was bringing it to the shop. I didn't think much of it at the time because I was also dealing with a new fuel leak right in front of the air compressor so I though it got fuel on it and was just real slick...

We got together the other night and set a date for the fall Poof Stock. It was decided to be held on the week end of October 1st and 2nd. As always if you are coming from any distance you are more than welcome to show up on Friday Sept 30th. It was decided to move the event up in hopes of...

I will be back on post this week picking up items and will have some time to preview up coming auctions if anyone needs anything looked at. I may also have room to pick up something if anyone needs anything picked up. I will be there Monday and Wednesday for sure and maybe on Tuesday if...

It seems to me as of late we have a lot of new members here that are unable to read. Or so it would seem then they post a classified to the forum, or even a link to an open auction. It seems as though we can't go one week in here without some one posting to the forum "I can't post a classified"...

I will be going to Ft McCoy for several trailers next week. One trip for sure, maybe two. If anyone needs anything previewed or picked up let me know. Possible days would be Wed, Thur and Fri.

I am in the process of rebuilding an air pack for another member. When I opened it up all the seals and cylinders look great. The air cylinder did have about a quart of brake fluid in it and the bottom of the cylinder was tacky like pine pitch. I cleaned everything and am now just waiting on...

Last week I went and picked up a deuce for TBM-35, a member in KY. I will be working at getting his deuce all set and ready to go for him to come and pick it up on the weekend of July 8,9 and 10. If anyone is available in the SE WI area and would like to stop by for a shop day I think we could...

Within the next week I will be recovering a deuce from McCoy for another member and keeping it at my shop in Waukesha, WI until he can arrange transport. If anyone needs anything picked up or previewed let me know, I will plenty of room in the chase truck and I can even tow back a trailer if...

This coming Saturday, June 11th, is an event in Menomonee Falls, WI at a senior apartment complex. They are hosting an event called A History of American Wars. There will be Civil War and WWII re-enactors, a Color Guard and if all goes well an MV display. A lady from my church is setting up...

Well for Memorial Day my wife and I had a plan. I would take our son to the parade in Hartford, WI with Poof and she and our daughter would ride their bikes to the local parade here just to watch. As I was getting into the line up for the Hartford parade I got a text from my wife, she is...

Well it took me just over 5 weeks with only a few breaks in there, but the deuce is done for now. What I mean by that is I still have the interior, frame, axles and some other odds and ends to paint. I will get to those when the snow and cold come back to visit. For now it's time to enjoy the...

On Saturday my Deuce died at my shop and it was suggested to me that my hydraulic head may be the problem. I spent the last few days reading threads on what to check and how to go about removing the head and I talked to Gimp about it. I will admit that at first the idea of diving into any part...

I moved my truck to shovel some snow that had built up around it over the past week today. When I went to back it up it went maybe a foot and then stopped. I could go forwat but no chance of the truck going back. I of course made sure I had the parking brake off and then shut the truck off...

I have been having a hard time starting my deuce in the cold weather even with the ether injection. Everytime I try to use it and it doesn't start a few minutes later I have a strong ether odor in the cab. Today I went out and took the line off the manifold and was sprayed in the face with...

After talking to poof and drgreg this morning I think we have a tentative date for the weekend of April 29th to May 1st. This is still open to change as it has several times already this morning. As always this is a good time for friends to get together and enjoy the weekend and the hobby...

I recently got home from what was the longest drive of my life. My family and I drive to my in-laws place every year, about 925 miles away. However, this time 160 miles from home my truck, Ford with the 7.3, started to act like it was geling up. I pulled the fuel filer and added Power Service...

So I've spent some time today looking at my filters and reading the threads and even watched some videos about spin on filters for the deuce. I know I can spend a few hundred dollars and get all the spin on adapters I need and be done with it. However, in my reading I've seen something kind of...

I picked my deuce up at Fort McCoy on August 23rd. She is a great running truck with lots of new mechanicals and sheet metal. So far it's been in one parade and I've put nearly 1300 miles on it since I picked it up. However, the paint was ugly and the roof was rusty so I had to do something...

So with PoofStalk comming up I figured I might want to plan ahead and stay warm this time. After the MikeInMcCoy Parade, where I froze my tail off that night, I didn't want to do that again. So I picked up a multifuel hunter style heater from DrGreg and got to work installing it into the back...
