    Behind the bumper chain lockers...

    So, part of making my deuce more useful to a single user vs its original design of 1 of many vehicles in an area, involves my plans on additional storage under the bed as well as behind the bumper. The Front bumper area, especially on a winch truck, doubles as a walkway for the front of the...

    Ga Deuce owners, soldier B swap?

    Ok, so I'm lacking a soldier B for valve adjustment tasks. The GF is not the type that'll get under the truck, lay in the dirt and turn a prybar to turn the transmission output shaft while I adjust valves. Anyone want to do their valves? You come help me adjust my valve lash, I'll come help...

    Pyrometers, options, mounts...

    Ok, I'm getting close to wanting to install a pyrometer in my deuce so I can turn the fuel up a touch and keep an eye on that. I'm wondering if a Boost gauge would be good to do as well *shrug*. Anyhow, I looked at Hewitt Industries and a few other locations, but I can't decide on a good setup...

    Clutch free play adjustment, vent tubes...maint...

    Since it's pretty hot today, I'm staying in the shaded under the Deuce working on it rather than mowing the lawn I should be mowing. 8) I've just adjusted the clutch free play, which wasn't so bad. The pin had me confused for a bit until I just started twisting on it with a set of pliers then...

    Spammer on the boards...

    I just received 6 pms at once from Byzance.Int.group about wanting to buy my pack of Ferrets. It read like typical Lagos spam. Might want to start vetting the new members some how.

    Hydraulic Pump...

    So, on the list of things to do to the deuce, I'm thinking a hydraulic pump attached to my rear facing output for the double PTO. What kind of pump do I need to eventually get a dump rig installed?

    Trailer/Tent Project ideas...

    So, after I finish sorting out the M514 trailer with the radar system on it, I'll have another trailer with not enough military parts on it to be original. So, I figure, it'll be good to see about keeping it as a camping trailer. Just so you know what I'm talking about, here's the gallery of...

    CB Antenna kits?

    I know several folks have CB's in their deuces. I bought a sugar scoop mount at Saturn and of course need the stand off for mounting the scoop on the bed. What sort of antenna mounts do you use and what other bits do you include in the truck for getting the CB working?

    5 Ton Cap Snatchblocks from Coleman's

    Here's the Snatch Blocks that I bought at Colemans. They had two types. I've broken one of the 'round' type down already for cleaning and re-painting. I'm almost inclined to try to drill it for a grease fitting but I decided against it as I was concerned I'd ruin the shaft by doing so and not...

    PA (Reading/Philly area) down to Atlanta, June 5

    I'll be coming back from PA on June 5. If you've got anything to be brought back from the area, let me know. I can toss it in the back of the Deuce if need be and bring it back to Atlanta.

    Just bought some Overson Engineering Lockout Hubs.

    Just gave the nice man a credit card number to order them and get them shipped to where the deuce is in PA. That way they'll be waiting for me when I get there next week and I can bolt them on for the trip to Reading and then back home.

    The South Eastern Railroad Museum in Duluth, Ga is having an Armed forces Day. They're hosting an Armed Forces Day event and are looking for MVs to show up at the Museum on Saturday.

    IH ACCO 2.5 ton Motor Home

    The Aussies had IH make them what they call ACCO's. They're the Aussie Version of a 2.5 ton and 5 ton truck depending on the setup and they're cab over vs long nose like ours, but otherwise they're pretty much the same thing (minus different details like mid-ship winches and such). But a Deuce...
