    Strange electrical issue

    Looks like this one, so it is an Alternator? I guess the fact that it says Generator right on the data tag threw me off a bit.

    Strange electrical issue

    Data tag says 'Generator, DC 60 amps'. After my engine swap I had to polarize it to get anything out of it, afterwards my gauge was well into the green. Yeah I checked it again today, the low battery was at 8.4 and the high was reading 12.1 volts. Looks like I will at least need a new battery...

    Strange electrical issue

    Hey fellas! Hoping for some answers on an issue I'm having with my electrical system. The other day I went to start my truck (it had been sitting for about two weeks). Turned on the master switch and got no air buzzer, hit the start button and got nothing. I charged up the batteries (thinking...

    Weare NH Merrimack Valley Rally July

    Look for me Mid-morning-ish. I'll have the M116A2 and the MEP-002A just in case anyone is in the market for a generator. I'll also be looking for a couple turn/brake bulbs if anyone happens to be selling them.

    I was thinking of bringing the Deuce up for just Saturday. Will there be a road ride / convoy on Sat?

    is a bobbed deuce a practical daily driver?

    Would a Deuce be your ONLY vehicle? How many miles are you driving weekly? I think the question of POSSIBLE daily driver has been answered before, but the title of the thread is PRACTICAL. Any vehicle can be a possible daily driver if you have the means to fuel it, maintain it, register/inspect...

    is a bobbed deuce a practical daily driver?

    Many might not care about this, but the deuce (bobbed or not) can be downright uncomfortable sometimes. I love my truck (A2) but would go nuts if I HAD to drive it everywhere. The constant shifting for red lights and sharp turns gets old after a couple hours, and I KNOW mine really hates stop...

    M35a2 charging system question

    cpenni, I had this same problem. When I removed my generator to weld on a new mounting tab (I snapped the other one clean off over tightening the mounting bolt). The generator was giving me nothing, turned out it needed to be polarized. Worked perfect after that.

    Split Rim Safety

    I wanted to bump this thread because I think there is a lot of great info on tire safety. I had a question; are the lock rings most likely to blow off after a tube / tire change or can it happen at any time? I was given a mounted tire that had no air in it, I just want to make sure I take all...

    Deuce stranded me/wife on the Highway

    This has happened to me twice, once because the pumping cavity fell apart inside the tank and another time because the pump overheated. Both times I could hear the pump trying to run. I saw a great mod a while ago, an air valve on the tank that let you re prime with your onboard air in the event...

    Worst Trip Ever

    There have been days when I wanted to roll my truck off a cliff because of a broken brake line, inoperable fuel pump and non-charging generator.... Then I read this and think.... wow Even when my engine blew up I was only a few miles from home, I was able to drive it to work and leave it in...

    Need to identify this generator

    Hey fellas! For the generator guys (because I'm not terribly familiar with them). I have a friend who recently lost his father, he has been placed with the responsibility of picking through his stuff and asked if I could identify this generator for him. He says his father thought it came from...
