Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
.Retrieved the heaviest load I've ever had in the bed a few weeks ago.
All oak for once.
It's been a while since I went out to the woods alone and I firmly remembered why after my 7 hour escapade of bucking, splitting, loading, unloading, and stacking was complete. The other downside was that there wasn't anyone who could film the absolute mess Daisy had to crawl through to get to the high ground we had drug to logs to last year.
Ill be sure to take some photos of the trails next time I go out there. With the rain we've had this year, there's absolutely no other road-going vehicle that would be getting me back there, let alone back out with such a heavy load.
It sure was a smooth ride home with that much weight.

.I know I’m not in the right forum but you guys are more than helpful, hoping you can help me here. Tonight I was moving my m105a2 around and was backing it up and you know how small they are and how quickly the turn well it happened I seen it was turned sharp well somehow the wiring harness got stuck between the deuce shackle guard and trailer and got severed in half I’m so mad I know better but I was in a hurry so now I need a pig tail. Anybody know where I can find one looked at a couple sights but I’m unsuccessful at finding one any help would be great thanks guys
Sorry @hgun. I hope someone has a pigtail stashed away for you. $185 is a lot.If I would have just looked I would have moved it dang it
Hgun, I was looking at Erik's Military Surplus under Military Vehicles/Electric Parts and he has a bunch of harnesses and connectors for trailers. You may be able to find a solution for your trailer pigtail problem there. I buy most of my Deuce electrical stuff including Prestolite fittings and wire from him. Sometimes you just have to spend the money on MVs. Ask me how I know.I can plug the wire in the truck and check that and possibly splice it together. But would prefer to just replace it. but I’m not in a hurry I don’t need to fix it quick. I found one from Oshkosh for 185 was hoping someone might have some parts lying around. If I would have just looked I would have moved it dang it I’ll keep checking thanks guys
I need to do mine, so any one of the 3 wires can connect to a terminal and it works? Worried about getting them in the right order.I ripped out the normal flasher module and converted to an EG22 flasher relay. Quick and easy, and half the cost!
The original plug has 3 terminals. One of them is the short wire that is ground. You do NOT need that ground wire. The other two wires can be hooked to the EG22 in any fashion, any direction.I need to do mine, so any one of the 3 wires can connect to a terminal and it works? Worried about getting them in the right order.
hgun, would the trailer cable still be long enough to use if you took the end you show with the wires splayed out and reconnected them into the plug? A mid-wire splice is not a good idea. Don't feel too bad about the mistake. I was doing a K-turn in my driveway one day and forgot I had the tailgate down. I hit the corner of my house pretty hard. Enough to move the wall studs, h.w. baseboard and crack the sheetrock inside. I had to Smack the studs back straight with a sledgehammer from the inside of the house. Now that is what I call dumb!!!Pics of my mistake
.Brutus and I went to the pharmacy, hardware store, auto parts store and food store today. Nobody cut me off or stopped short in front of me, so that was good. I really need to bypass the FDC. Running along at 50 Mph in 5th ( just under WARP SPEED ) I instantly dropped 5 Mph on a very slight grade. My foot was to the floor. Jeez!
Hi Tim! Merry Christmas to you and yours! Your post made perfect sense to me! Are you coming out with a 2022 MV Calendar?.
Hi Owen!
Well, my words of wisdom when it comes to driving green stuff is "I may be slow, but I am ahead of you.".
I do my very best to pull over or move over to let others pass so I don't look like I am leading a parade. On the other hand, I think if you want to bypass the FDC it might be good to install a pyrometer first. You have a perfectly good truck now and you sure don't want to cook a piston or two by adding more fuel to the fire (so to speak).
