    Deuce Door latch

    Must be an epidemic. My driver outside handle turned too far wouldn't allow me in. Removed the latch mechanism and found that the machined part was worn out probably like Stone Mill. Very carefully disassembled the latch mechanism, welded some material onto the machined part, ground it back...

    Convoy Lights Power Plug?

    I had problems overloading the light switch when I wired my convoy lights according to the print. There must be an internal circuit breaker in the light switch that tripped at the most unopportune moments. When it trips you lose all your lighting. You have to wait for it to reset. Joe Young...

    Clare Michigan show, August 15-17

    This was the first Clare show I've missed in a long time. My dad passed away on 8/10 and I just couldn't get in gear to get ready. Looks like it was a lot of fun. I do plan on being at the Bruce VFW post in St Clair Shores this coming weekend.

    Anyone want real Sherwin Williams CARC in SE Michigan?

    Chuck, looks like you didn't go to Clare either. My dad passed away this past week and I didn't have any enthusiasm to go. I heard thru the grapevine that the turnout was light. Hopefully thats not the case.

    Multifuel Engine

    I've been playing with different fuels in my truck. It seems to like Mercon trans fluid a lot. Used oil too. Not too long ago, forgeting about the science experiment in my fuel tank, I siphoned some of it out for my Kioti diesel tractor. The tractor did not enjoy the mix very well. A tank...

    Clare Michigan show, August 15-17

    I'm hoping to be there. Haven't missed one in years. Looking forward to a convoy down to Buccilli's for the pizza buffet. Also I gotta get paint from Gen Jims. Does anyone know if they will allow a campfire there at night?

    Deuce radiator info...yes I searched.....

    I just had mine redone to the tune of $700.00. I was told by the radiator guy that the new core had to be installed onto the bottom half of the old tank and that very few places can do that. He was on the phone awhile and 2 weeks later I got my radiator back.
