0 -50mph Had the opportunity and burden to take the New Deuce on a 50 mile run. The opportunity because WOW WHAT A TRUCK and the burden because the New Owner hadn't run through the PM's and it mostly sat for the last year. It takes hours to torque and top everything up but all 120 minutes was...

Gander Merle, that gave me goosebumps, It's great. Gander has several meanings here and the loss of 248 American soldiers 33 years ago will always be remembered. Couldn't think of a better name. The little town also housed 7000 travelers on 911 so a tribute truck makes a lot of sense...

Fathers Day will be different one day We had some very special guests wheel in to the G749 farm for Pop's interment. Father's day was a little different today and you don't realize it until you wake up. Then I remember all the other stories, especially from my lady friends, that some folks...

Another 3 years has passed so let's bump the blow down thread. Just a reminder to get a good look at the trees around you when you set up camp. We're still writing down the local emergency numbers, our exact location and the location of the nearest medical facilities so everyone at the party...

We should also chat about different types of oil filters when we talk about different types of oils. Non detergent engine oils and the Early Deuce oil filters are compatible from what I read in the manual. I run 30 wt non-detergent mostly because the stovebolt boys I hang with are old school...

Onward Thank you gentlemen! He'd be disappointed if we didn't kick it in gear and get things done so the gardens are in, the barley is seeded, Gracie got a new bed, the farm is getting clean and the party is a go. It's an open house for the locals but if you're traveling by on June 16th, Goose...

Transmission troubleshoot G749 More part numbers are always volcanic around here. Sounds like you found the parts link https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?137722-G749-Parts-List Did you have the throttle linkage apart? Get a good look at the manual where it describes the linkage and...

Page 70 on 9-8024 starts the info with "Towing to start the vehicle". Then it goes on to say that towing with the transfer in down neutral under 15mph is groovy. Then it tells us to pull the front axle hub flange, transfer to pillow shaft and the transfer to forward rear axle if we go over 10...

G749 Farm Celebration With it being impossible to fully express the appreciation of knowing great human beings, I have the honour to try. On Thursday March 28th our 91 year old father woke up to the daily routine of grabbing the news paper at their apartment front door. Although diagnosed with...

Welcome to Steel Soldiers and Early Deuce ownership. I'll bump this for you and one of the southern brothern will come along and likely discuss titling through Private Messaging....PM's. Keeping the facts straight on titling an antique in Oregon is the goal. Your truck sounds like my last...

Nobody died so we're going to post it as a reminder that this is NOT how you offload your MV. Spring runs have begun and the noodles must be firmly mounted on the shoulders again. This incident is avoidable. If you don't watch the video, in the theatre of your mind picture people falling off...

Those photos are awesome. Any chance I can use the one where we can see the back of the cab? That should go in a museum. You did a lot since I looked last and even I can smell the finish line, you must be happy. Did you ever figure out what happened to the car? I'd be tying a big chain...

You got a hat! They sent you a hat. If I get this t-shirt back in the mail you'll have some promotionals to wear on your next video. Getting that episode up where you turn the key for the first start is a little closer. Excellent work.

Sam Spade MV It is a 72" Vermeer so our two spades are family. I tried to kill it with our Canadian frost but from last reports she still works on a golf course. I started to abuse it in 1981 so they are well built spades. The sliding deck and outside gate rams had the worst plumbing because...

Tree Spade longevity I ran this girl for 17 years and the plumbing is a pain. There's nothing like doing a plant friendly job then pinching a hose in front of a client and blowing oil all over the place. The increase in value on this unit over 2 decades was shocking so they can be a good...

Raisin' MV's That is a large fleet of MV's. We love our bikes so looking forward to seeing some pictures. A big welcome from Canada. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?59917-How-to-post-pictures-a-tutorial How is the weather where you are? We might need an exodus to a southern...

Sounds like the team I get to MV around with. It's a great group of folks that preserve these historical pieces. Zelda looks amazing!

My 89 year old Mother reminds me that we're all in this HMV canoe together. We only get to the shoreline when we row in the same direction. I can't swim so let's get the guy in the back to steer this thing and the rest of us will just paddle.

There are 5 pages of helpful troubleshooting starting at page 163 and it sounds like you're on the right track. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?106483-More-M135-TM-s I, T, Y or L, also suggest oil passages and control valve bath with a recent post I glanced at suggesting a 'clean...
