    Okay, I have the tandems out from under the deuce and the frame shortened. How much do I need to lengthen the driveshaft? By my measurements, the center of the M105 wheelwell is about 61 1/2" from the front of the bed and the front axle on the tandem was about 57" from the front of the bed...

    You paid what for a deuce

    Got my first M1 Garand for $400 from the CMP. The wife thought I was nuts for spending so much for a gun. Well, M1's are $600 now and they will run out one day.

    Pulled the transmission today!!!

    "The first reason I'm glad I decided to undertake this project was very evident when I puled the transmission to transfer shaft. ALL 8 BOLTS IN THE SHAFT FLANGES WERE LOOSE!!!!" Yep. I found all 8 on one of my trucks loose, too. It seems to be a problem.

    Holy crap I did it!!!

    Hints: Send your EUC between mid morning and early afternoon. That way you have a better chance of the fax machine not running out of paper. Don't even think about sending your EUC after 4 or 5 pm Mountain time because there is about a 90% chance it will never be found. Call the day after...

    New plasma torch is DA BOMB!

    Here is the info: NEW RAMSOND CUT50DY 50 A AMP INVERTER AIR PLASMA CUTTER - eBay (item 110408628798 end time Jul-03-09 19:03:00 PDT) I thought about getting an acetylene torch so I could heat things, too, but the fact that acetylene won't cut certain metals made the plasma cutter the choice. I...

    New plasma torch is DA BOMB!

    Just got a cheap 50 amp plasma cutting torch to cut on the deuce and tried it out. It is DA BOMB! After cutting through 1/2" steel plate with almost no effort, I just stood there and grunted like Tim The Tool Man Taylor. My wife wasn't as impressed, but she hasn't sweated and grunted to cut...

    NDT vs Michelins?

    Depends on the surface. Most soft offroad surfaces do better with the Michelins.

    Pulling the transmission!!!

    I used an engine hoist with a 2 ft extension and it lowered the tranny just fine. The 4X4 will be plenty strong enough. If you tranny doesn't already have some lifting tabs on the corner top cover bolts, make a couple out of a bit of scrap metal to help with lowering it. However, that said, I...

    Want Opinions About Interior Paint

    Whatever you paint it, paint it to match the outside paint. Standard 383 green is a good color.

    Talk to your county agricultural extension agent. He can tell you the best way to treat the trees to prevent or kill the pine borer beetles.

    Got a few problems. Please help.

    P.S. Does it have a winch? If so, you may need to install some more gaskets between the PTO and tranny to increase the gear lash.
