I thought since I have now bought my first MV, my 1968 Kaiser M35A2 Deuce and a half I would start a tread that I can post all of my mods and or work to instead of having several threads for one truck. Any time I get a new toy I can not ever leave well enough alone. I am sure this will be no diferent an I will wind up doing many things over time to this new toy.
The very first thing I did for my "new to me" Deuce is I machined a small lock for the shut down knob, I have seen a couple of variations of this idea here on SS, this is just my version of the same thing. I used some stainless steel I had laying around the shop. I made it to only go together one way with relatively close tolerances so it is not loose fitting. Also I wanted the loop of the lock to recess into the machined part so it could not be cut with a bolt cutter very easily.
The first picture is the picture that gave me the idea. I am not sure whose truck it is.... but, thank you for the idea!
Please feel free to let me know what you think on this or any other future ideas, I am always open to a fresh perspective.
Thanks,
Joe
