What did you do to your deuce this week?

[whatadeuce]

Hello welldigger, and I'm sure they did , but as I have moved my 20,000 pound tool shop from New York to Florida along with my two vehicles, I am still unloading and am missing many things. I would like to purchase what I need from you. Please give me your
PAYAPL info.

 

[welldigger]

O sorry I don't have the parts laying around. You can get everything you need from Napa. I'll post the gasket and filter # for you tomorrow. Pm me your email and I will scan the instructions and send them to you.

Yesterday I looked to see why I lost my brakes, ( and rammed and bent the fence pole in the parkibg lot) . I found alot of wetness on the rearmost axle brake backing plate and on the brake line, passenger side. " A blown brake cylinder" I said. So I pulled both tyres from that axle side ( Whew) and then asked a mechanic friend to help me pull the drum off, only to find no evidense of fluid leakage from the cylinder. We then found the leak at the brake line itself, just off the cylinder outside the backnig plate! Rerplace the line and bled with DOT 5 and Im back on the road!

Whatadeuce I apologize for not getting you those part #s yet. I'll get those to you asap.

Checked my cold start at a balmy 20 degrees... Cranked like a champ and fired in less than 2 seconds. This was with mostly diesel and probably 25% WMO.

Very happy.

 

[whatadeuce]

What's WMO?

 

[whatadeuce]

Thank You welldigger, I appreciate it...

 

[USAFSS-ColdWarrior]

What's WMO?

WMO = Waste Motor Oil
WVO = Waste Veggie Oil

Searching either abbreviation or whole phrase will lead to a WEALTH of knowledge here on the SS Site.

Happy Education

Being that its way too cold to play outside, I added a front winch to my Kaiser. rebuilt an old Ramsey I had in the shop,converted it to 24 volts, and installed it between the frame that had 12" extended on it. Looks pretty good sitting in place. Next weekend the wiring goes in, and a little touch up on the front end paint, and it will be good to go. I will include some pics of the finished product.

Clinto, what make and model of switch did you use?

Finished painting, added numbers, went for a ride with my brother to a local park for pics.
Mine is on left, his on the right.

Finished up another deuce. Had a beer.

 

[Danger Ranger]

Sweet. That looks nice. What do you mean by "finished up another..." ?

Why the emergency lights?

 

[whatadeuce]

I added to my batteries, using DISTILLED water. Cleaned around the top and where the caps cover the openings.

This would be my 4th deuce I've gone through with a fine tooth comb. The light bar came on it as this deuce was in service at montgomery air force base. Here are my other three.
