That Deuce hay ride sounds brilliant. Easy Clean up, cosy ride....lots of horsies to pull the load, awesome. We're on Natural gas and running a down-draft Ducane with a Honeywell ST9120C fan timer, a SV9501 Smart valve...lol....and an ignitor wire that hangs too close to the flame, melting...

Since we're shopping for alternatives I'll post the links to a few weatherstripping/ parts companies. We have a company close to me called AMP panels and they give up info on their suppliers. http://www.ampauto.com/parts Lots of options for companies across the continent......if anyone...

We're looking for sources for the 51 chev too. I think it's similar material but says it's leather. Here's one of the links. https://www.classicparts.com/1941-72-Fender-Welt-Gold/productinfo/37-524/ Did an "Images" search for fender welting then followed a few pictures to their main site. We...

G749 fast freeze This should be shoved in the how cold am I thread but since you asked......it's the first day since spring that we can say it's cold. Sitting at 1°F....one above zero...and headed for 4 below tonight. Just amazing working outdoors with gloves off, flying the RC's yesterday and...

G749 clean up. After stuffing sea cans with marginally smoke damaged inventory four years ago, we finally found the time to get started. Sent staff out to buy tents to cover wet concrete on a rainy day some ten years ago. They came back with these snappy little chapel tents. They are certainly...

Welcome to the Steel Soldiers Trauma and Financial Yearly......SSTAFY. I miss southern California so bad I'm dropping the deuce budget and sticking it back in the "I wanna go see Midway again" fund. You're a lucky guy to be placed there with 12 months of cruising potential. Does California beat...

I jumped on the first truck I found and spent $4000. Then I got patient and the next 8 found me for $1000 each. Keep doing what you're doing, knock down some more doors like those MVPA boys. Some guys keep trucks and don't advertise just waiting for a guy like you to come along to save another...

That would be a set-up we'd all like to see. I haven't done it but I'm told there's a check valve or flap inside the existing plumbing so hooking up an external pump takes a bit of work. The original internal pumps are a bit rare so if someone solved this with an external add on solution, you...

In an evening of brainstorming and Canada's favorite fire starter, Crown Royal, we decided that clean pea gravel and a hammock would do the trick. Glad we didn't think about jacking up a truck and tying the fuel tank to a wheel but that seems like a better sober idea. We tied up the hammock...

The M20 guru up here used a square font so I'll check this week to see if we have the book with the turret details and follow-up accuracy. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?31547-This-is-an-M20-isnt-it/page4

I know how you boys like your ladies so I grabbed a pic of the fine little witch the troops brought along to soften the exercise. They had smoke generators, intense lighting set up in the bush, the officers dressed up in costume and the projector cycled scary pictures on the side of a sea-can...

Fall at the G749 farm The adventure continues! It's good to be busy.....hey gents? A Captain and a Warrant Officer walked into the G749 Farm......37 little Dragoons followed. Under 60°F temps, the army cadets once again wheeled their training butts out to the farm for winter training this...

TC upgrade mod I only have 2 in parts trucks and still think the Goat team has one apart on the ground so one way or another we'll get you set up. The e brake horns are broke on one of these but I know I saw several nos parts in Gizmo's new parts grab. If we don't find one out west you will be...

We should check with the Western Command boys and see if there is one closer to you first. Gizmo just bought SuperDave's supply so I can check if one is sitting on the ground Sunday. I have 3 donor trucks but don't see a window for me to remove one unless freeze up stays away until December...

I'd venture a guess that a guy gets real good at painting, living next to the ocean! Man I miss that place! There's nothing like Charlie don't Surf on Whiterock, Stanley Park, Fort Rodd Hill across the creek or that drive up the sea to sky highway. Visiting Stan in North Van is always a feast...

Early Deuce Transfer Case 2 speed mod This is a great discussion piece for me. I watched a couple of buddies tear one apart, buy $800 in new bearings and it's still joyfully pushing his 52 deuce around. Lots to learn. Here is a breakdown of parts and pieces we can all put together with a 2...

Everyday is a day closer to fixing the transmission.......but she's not done yet. Ironside cuts me a ton of slack with hauling costs so it's been easy, cheap and so cool seeing Goose do 70. I watch your video when I want to go for a long drive in a deuce! Work has been busy so we'll get at her...

Static Display Goose had a hundred kids crawl over her on Saturday and a pile of friends showed up for open cockpit days at the Alberta Aviation Museum. Goose staged on Friday and got to hang out in the same area that thousands of WW11 aircraft visited. Got a few more shots of the...

We're setting up around 930h and will be there until around 1600h. We could have a dozen MV mechanics on board so having your truck there would be fun for everyone. These trucks were set up with radios and that could be the only thing 24volt was set up for. It'll be great getting a look at it...

https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?59917-How-to-post-pictures-a-tutorial The picture task is easy once you do it 954 times so that's the link on how to post pictures. Welcome aboard the MV train neighbour. We have a static display this weekend, the 23rd.... at the Alberta Aviation...
