Loaded firewood today. Am tired of traipsing through the snow to get to the woodpile. It's still fairly warm here in PA but winter is coming... In the future, my woodpile is where I park the Deuce. Don't come over for a visit when snow covers the driveway. I expect my woodpile is going to block...

Recently bought two sets of flags for "parade duty". Got a decent deal at Home Depot on those flag sets homeowners like to mount on the side of their houses. Rigged flag holders for the Deuce and took her out today (July 4th). I was careful not to exceed 35 mph since going 35 is like putting...

Is that a good idea? I don't like to crawl under the truck either, particularly in snow, but I thought the point of draining the tanks was to let the escaping air blow out moisture that had accumulated in the tanks. I assume your automatic valves release excess air pressure just like on a...

Maybe you can convince the guy at the scrap yard to press the bent gate back into shape. Since the damage seems to be limited to that one "dent", it seems possible that a large press that can crunch a car can "iron out" that little crinkle. I don't think the empty truck is heavy enough to...

Just came back from using the old girl to move a branch the storm had torn off a maple earlier this week. It crashed down onto the driveway and then fell towards the garage door. No damage to the door. Hurrah !! I could barely lift that branch by myself and decided I shouldn't try and drag...

I had a tarp folded up for several years. It may be the one in the picture but I'm not sure. Anyway, it was just a but smaller than the cargo cover for the M35 but about the same weight. When I unfolded it, I made ear wigs and spiders and centipedes and critters like that homeless. I spread...

Bought two new flag sets and mounted posts for the flag poles to make her look nice for Memorial Day. Invited a friend to come along for a ride. She had mentioned several times she wanted me to show her how to drive a Deuce. Unfortunately, it rained most of the day, and my friend had to...

Put new batteries in recently, and since she's been starting as soon as I push her button. : - ) Definitely saved a lot of time and sweat today, maybe some tools, too. Instead of removing an old stump and roots the old-fashioned way with a shovel, pickaxe, and maybe even a saw, I spent a...

Daytonatrbo, Nicely done with such a short stump! When I need to pull a tree, I wrap my chain around the trunk as high up as I can for best leverage. I've seen a lot of "Deuce vs. Tree" videos (not yours) where the chain or rope is attached so low that the truck struggles, wheels spinning, dirt...

Did you hook your backup lights up to one of the position on the existing switch that you probably never use, or did you install a separate switch? I ran wire to the back and mounted the lights but have yet to actually connect them.

I got tired of having the tarp flap in my face when I load or unload stuff and built two simple props from 1/2 inch PVC pipe. First, I measured how long the props have to be to keep the tarp up far enough for me work under it. Measure from the gap between the tailgate and the bed up. Then, I...

wadefreedomvehicles, for roof sealant, check out Sikaflex. The company that makes that stuff offers several similar products. Pick the one that works best for your application. It costs more than Silicone from the Home Depot and stores like that but it's worth the difference. I don't know who...

The snow is finally melting here in PA. A large branch had broken off a tree on my neighbor's property and was too big and heavy to be moved by hand. I started the Deuce for the first time since December, walked through knee-high snow, wrapped a chain around the branch, hooked the chain to the...

Over the course of the week, I took the radiator out, had it repaired and put it back in today. Taking it out by myself I created a bigger problem than I already had when I bumped the rad against the winch lever safety. I had help when I put it back in today. I haven't tested it yet but...

Pulled the in-tank fuel pump today. Found a lot of grime and sludge on the grid and took it off. See pictures below. Will have to do something about the "barnacles" on the inside walls of the tank next. See pictures below. Right now, the tank is better than 3/4 full. I'll wait until I have...
