Dipstick,
thanks for the dc lesson and the welding comment ,
i statred welding with my dad as he was a blacksmith for over 50 yrs
then i took up pipefitting for 34 yrs . The last 4 yrs of my career was at a nuclear naval base and i have to say the nuc welders are the best welders i have seen , they turn xray welding into an art form ! My eyes are passed the age of nuc welding !
the alt conversion went well for me with the exception of waiting 2 wks for a pulley.
trouble shooting the volt reg and the generator was mind boggling for me , way to many hrs spent on tm’s trying to solve.
my property in NY is mostly clay ,and logging before it was froze up was messy , it is amazing what these trucks can move through. With the truck loaded ,the 395 goodyears filled up with clay and looked like big chocolate donuts , but kept the truck going forward . I never once had to pull the truck out of being stuck!
we are about 3-4 months from making the final move out of NY and to WY for our retirement yrs . I will be hiring a trucking outfit to move my deuces and tractor.
i see there is a transport forum here on the site and will prob seek help there first.
the last addition to the deuce was mudflaps , mainly to keep it road legal .
the next big job will be the pto shift shaft seals , i hate the mental strain of oil spots on my garage floor !
