Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
It's surprising (considering the "minimalistic" attitude of the military) how many little things there are that need attention.View attachment 738016View attachment 738017View attachment 738018 I spent the afternoon today replacing the Wire Harness Retainer Bulkhead Grommet. The rubber coating had disintegrated off the old one and the wiring harness was riding on bare metal. I was able to scrounge up a new one, and with new hardware it went together pretty easy. I have a new grommet ordered from NAPA to replace the dry rotted grommet for the air cleaner vacuum line just outboard of the wire harness. After 11 years of owning this Deuce, outside of regular maintenance, this detail work is pretty much what I spend the majority of my time on.
You hit it on the head Rusty. Tomorrow, I have to replace one of the connectors to my fuel gauge. When I hit a bump or wiggle the wire by hand the fuel gauge bounces back and forth. Drives ya nuts.It's surprising (considering the "minimalistic" attitude of the military) how many little things there are that need attention.
Little grommets here, little valves there. Strange little things that no ones even knows what there for ! All rotting or rusting and needing attention now.

Hood number, this serves as my License plate here in TX.
Snow?! I never saw snow when I lived Down Under. I guess you must be very far from where I was in Woomera, SA.G'day everyone,.....
Well, just dropped the Deuce back into storage after having it at home for about 3-4 days,....
Was meant to do its first service but the day I got it the weather here changed,.. got so #$*@ing cold,...
I did get to change out the coolant though at least, the reason I didn't get any further was it SNOWED for a couple of days,...
Anyway I have planned to get my Deuce out again in a week to do all the oil changes,....
Sometimes the plan dose'nt quite come together,...
sigh,....
Aussie.
Or you could live in Phoenix.Seems the A2 only used air for the brakes/trailers. Im putting a dryer on mine to keep the air assist and air pack dry. For the cost of a dryer, its just cheap insurance.![]()
Real beauty you got there!View attachment 737851
Got her home, pix and info to come, she almost killed me on the drive home in the TX heat.
You can make your own bracket and use a chevy alternator. It's cheaperJust got the call from the machine shop. The deuce plow mount is done. Can't wait to see it and test it out. Will post pics for sure. Also need to get a 12V alternator kit from http://www.wolverinetechnologiesllc.com/12vaddonkit.html and a third battery so I can actually use the plow.
