I had already had some of those o-ring style tensioners save in my wish list on Amazon ( Made by Security chain co. ) I don't think I'll wear a set out anytime soon ( probable rot out before they wear out ) so I went and ordered 6 of them that and I will move one of the cross chains back one...

OK so tensioner as in bungee cord(s)

Hmm well as I mentioned, I've already clipped these on the last link and have yet to drive it anywhere so I might just have to move the one cross chain back a link or two in order to get more links to cinch up on. PS 323 states the chain tension should only be set by hand (no tools )

Rmgill I can find no mention of the military using tensioners on these deuce tire chains so I'll assume that from personal experience you guys also recommend adding bungee/tensioners?

I'm a old Florida boy so this is my first time putting on tire chains., I still have some slack in the chain but I have it hook all the way up to the last link...did I get it right?? I plan on running ( if ever necessary ) single chains on the outside rear tires ( as per Georgia ) and on front...

Its not the hardner that will lift the fresh/uncured paint its the solvents/reducers in the new paint going on top of it that will cause it to lift.

Its called Penetrol a ( oilbase ) paint conditioner, this stuff is a great rust inhibiter and it flows like water and drys nice and hard, I use it and a small artist size brush to get into tight areas where its tough for (spray ) paint/primer to get in ( i.e. stake pockets, seams,etc ) and then...

The Martin senour hardner is wicked and about $60pt ( 18yrs ago ) I used naptha with it and also xylene on another job. I was also very happy with the results using Valspar "Tractor & Implement" hardner ( $25pt ) on my current deuce. Gillespie is just plain Alklyd enamel ( I called GP coatings...

I've used hardner with Gillispie/ RAPCO paint all the time, It does not make it darker, it make it glossyer (sp). In the past I've used Martin senour 8870 catly/hardener and on my last paint job ( used 7 gals ) I used a universal hardener made by Valspar ( bought it at Tractor supply ). If you...

Shut up and keep pushing!!;-) :p

Do you have a generator or the 60amp "Alternator" on your deuce??? I'll go with that you have the alternator, as mentioned there is an adjustment under the small bolt next to the wires in back of alt ( see pic's )

Its these CUCV guys....you can't trust any of them ;-)

Hey guys The starter on the 002 & 3's already have a pressure bypass switch to which automacticly kicks off power to the starter once oil pressure comes up ( engine running) so ( if switch is working correctly ) your not going to grind the starter by over cranking on start up., remember the...

When was the last time the genset had a load on it?? My first genset would put out some blue smoke and when I talked to some marine diesel mechanics that I knew they told me that before I panic worrying about a rebuild to first put a load on it and let the piston rings reseat ( aka free up under...

That debate can go on forever, I've had alway run a 160° but the best reason I've heard ( but don't nessassarly agree with ) about running a 180° is that at that temp you'll burn off more acids and such that build up in the oil from lack of use. I believe that running a 160° under the hood...

I made this up for my 37 There it a fuel line coupling on the frame near the drivers side rear shock that you can route your ( elec ) fuel pump hose to and not have to cut the line.

Maybe he means the "International Commando" ( Scout 800 series ? ) used by the Military branches as a Base vehicle, I've seen these as 4 x2's and 4 x 4 configuation, I missed out on a 4 x 4 version here locally about a 2yrs ago for $700 the seller sold it to a vietnam vet who scarfed it up...

Mine would do the same thing when I ran with the high beams on, weak thermal breaker ( as already mentioned ) was my problem changed out the 3 lever and all is fine

You know I hate the modified tail pipe but that color kinda grows on me LOL., She looks like a keeper congrats
