Dewinterization of Deuce

[bgekky3]

I parked my deuce in September when I left for New Mexico. I am in the process of buying a house and I needed to get it running again so I can move.

Chalking it and not using the E brake is a good idea. Mine was making noise and I left it off for the winter.

The batteries are very heavy. My back still hurts.

I put mothballs in it when I left. The mice ate one of the seat cushions and pooped all over the seats. There are still mothballs in the cab. I guess I am going to put some traps in next time.

I took it out of economy 4x6 mode and put it back into 6x6 mode. The spare tires were frozen to the ground. We had to get the loader out to get them loose. Also the chalks were frozen to the ground. We used a spud bar to loosen them.

We rolled out the tires, and I was surprised that the old 50% tires are taller than the new 90 to 95% ones.

The M105 which I will have to move in the near future has sunk and is frozen to the ground.

I hope everyone like the pics.

It is still at my parents' house. I am waiting for the bank to approve an offer on a short sale, so I had to get it ready to move. It will be nice when all my stuff is not spread out across the state.

I still have to fix a leak in one of the hoses on the bottom of the IP.

I know where you can get a good winch truck with XL's on it, way better than bus tires. . .

And a good running 1008. . .

Did you get my tires mounted yet? They shouldn't be frozen to the ground there.

Yeah, they look good on my M35, I put the NDCC's on your truck. . . .

I'm some what supprised you left the covers on , and that they survived the weather .... I thought for sure they would have torn ......

The covers have been on since last winter. They seem to be holding up well. One zipper was torn, and I had a boat shop sew it closed. The guy asked me not to bring it back bc it was too heavy and too hard on the sewing machine.
