Changed the steering box oil, changed both front tires, and the oil pressure sending unit.........all is good.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Thats the best reason to own an m105 if I've ever heard one!Loaded firewood today.
Am tired of traipsing through the snow to get to the woodpile.
It's still fairly warm here in PA but winter is coming...
In the future, my woodpile is where I park the Deuce.
Don't come over for a visit when snow covers the driveway.
I expect my woodpile is going to block the door.
You scored yourself a nice trailer there. Also showed good ingenuity in fixing the problem.scored a m105 trailer for $500 about 90 miles away so took deuce on its longest trip with me, about 2/3 way though trip the atrocious roads here in loserana were bad enough to break off the steel plate i had welded over the bone ends and kicked off a lower inner, only clue something wasn't right was steering center changed slightly, pulled over to inspect the trailer and discover the right side rears were touching, had plenty of tools but forgot to grab a ratchet strap or two that would've helped to pull the axle back into position, put a wheel chock between the wheels and used the long bar from the gear type lug tool to lever the wheels apart with success, used jack (the bottle jack/jack stand combo tractor supply sells) against the tire to push the bone back onto the socket, found some yellow floating rope in the trailer and tied the left and right bones together till i could acquire a ratchet strap to drive the 50 odd miles home
well.....the 4 pictures i uploaded should be right here........, guess i gotta upload from computer if i want them to actually show up
trans and transfer case are full to the plug and leak a little at speed as evidenced in dogbone shot, sits nice and level with the 395s and lunette in up position

In all honesty I didn't want to see any fingers stuck up some hairy bung hole.and nobody wrote this is useless without pictures?
The goofy things with all the icons ........
Ya even rolled the cargo cover the correct way! +1!I made it to Lubbock, unloaded my truck, and setup my workspace/tools/etc in my storage unit/"shop". It's large enough to fit all the junk from my house, shop, the M35A2, and the M38A1. If I recall, the size is 16ftX35ft w/a 13ft door.
After I unloaded the truck, I gave it the bikini top look (which I LOVE but couldn't always do because my old house was in the country and animals would get in to nest in my truck bed).
I also installed the fuel can holder (and fuel can) on the drivers fender/step. I'm not quite sure I like the fuel can holder (and fuel can) installed on the truck. I think it looks cleaner w/out the holder/can....I'm still deciding if it should stay or go.

I tend to agreeIn all honesty I didn't want to see any fingers stuck up some hairy bung hole.
You know you could put a real filter and just be done with it.Changed Fuel filters, was having a lack of power over 45 problem, felt like a flutter at 45 then no more acceleration, Pretty dirty , only had 4100 miles on them . GOing to add some Power Service Silver ........... ~
