Tukrhum, When I picked up my second deuce this week, I discovered that the hardtop is cruched in. I think what I am going to do, is to cut out the center (damaged area) and have a canvas cover made that I can remove. That way I get the best part of the hard top and the benifits of a soft top...

TM America, Instead of changing the diameter of the fan, go electric and free up more HP. Also if you kill the feild power in the Alternator, you would free HP as needed. The batteries could run the fan/lights ect for a while (like climbing a hill). Latrrrrr Avn-Tech

Big milke, Next time maybe you could post a phone number or contact info. I was in barstow picking up one of my Deuces, and could have sent my friend on to deliver a loaner comperessor off my other deuce. Laterrrr Avn-Tech

Scrambler, It will probably be easier to get your manifold welded. I use a process called flame spray to weld cast iron. I prepair the crack to be welded, then heat the manifold in an old barbeque. Remove and weld, then put back in the barbeque to cool. Resurface the front and reinstall...

GoHot229, I think your cure may be worse then the disease. I keep seeing 816's, generators, wreckers, and the list goes on. Needing help Avn-Tech

Group, My first Deuce (picking it up tuesday), will be parked next to the 4000 gallon fuel tanker. The tanker is parked next to a 1958 O-11B fire Truck. The Fire truck is parked next to 6 ea, P-40 movie replicas. The 6 ea, P-40 Movie Replicas are stored next to my Hanger at the airport...

Hole, Look up off roading in California City on google. Calif city is 3rd largest city in CA by land size. We are known for Skydiving (now closed) and offroading. There are not a lot of hills to climb, but lots of open desert land. Be careful, if you get stuck, would be interesting getting...

Group, Here are some photos of my 1958 American La France O-11B Crash Rescue Firetruck. I currently have the heads off to be rebuilt.

Group, I used to buy about $2000 a month from DRMO. Then GL took over, and I had an arguement with them and di not bid on anouther thing until last month. There are things that I do not like about GL, but they are not that bad in reality. Where else can you buy a Deuce for $1000 - $1800. I...

Group, A LARK sold out of barstow last month. Probably waiting on the EUC to clear. It was missing the trans and sold for about $7K if I remember correct. I wanted it but could not afford it. Currently accepting donations to help me recover from my addiction (buy more toys)!

Speddom, Have you been to Smokstak.com. It is a bulletin board like SS, but they have people who specialize in MEP generators. I should be able to help you, as an Air Guard Power Pro (Generator Mech). But I just went through the school last summer, and have not had any actual time working...

dm22630, Look at comercial dollies to get your ideas. I do not think that four wheels will turn right. Laterrrrr Avn-Tech

Group, Hopefully GL will group them togeathe better for the next sale if most did not sell. I see at Barstow they are putting two M105 trailers togeather in lots from ones that did not sell. $150 for two trashed M105 is not bad. Maybe if no one bids on them again, we may see four M105's in a...

Group, I have seen aircraft come out for sale (not though GL) over the last ten + years. Usually they are sold through bid, but sometime exchange (AF Museum). Probably easier to purchase one that is already out then try to find one at auction. If you want to get into aircraft, be prepared top...

superdave, Sorry to hear about you being homeless. I have room for the truck at my place, but not you. I may be able to get you into a local shelter for a while. You may even be able to apply for federal bailout money. Sorry Avn-Tech

Group, Once my EUC clears and I get my deuce (and 105 trailers) moved to Calif City, I will schedule a barbeque. We have showers available on the airport, and hangers to camp in, for those wanting to stay overnight (coming or going). Also plenty of room for tents/campers. Laterrrrr Avn-Tech

Group, If you would like to have a get together, I can offer my 7 acres at California City airport as a meeting spot. Have fridge and grill. Laterrrrr Avn-Tech
