I had in the back glass display cases and cabinets and not one of them got broken!

This Deuce is full of surprises,.....

Crappy raining day today. I decided to install my "Arctic shift boots" that I got from Jatonka.

Have them in my Deuce. They were easy to install and work good.

I got my "parts" truck home, a !970 M35A2 W/W. Had no power to the master switch and troubleshoot that. Using the good advice i got from the other post I made, I found a corroded and broken wire from the starter magnetic relay (I think that is what it was)...was a wire from the bottom of it that joined the larger bundle of wires on the firewall. Repaired it and that gave me power. I put fresh oil in it and bled the system. Hit the go button and it fired on the first rotation. This thing has not been cranked in I know 7 years..maybe longer. Just a testament to how awesome these trucks are. Every gauge works, all lights work, and the winch works as it should also. Thinking about keeping this one whole!!! All for a very good price.

Yea!!! My computer has decided to let me post pictures again. Here are the 2 pictures from my trip back on Thursday to go see Clinto and folks. Sorry, no pictures of the trucks and other things sitting around the yard. This coming week begins the "fun" of doing the axle freshenings. NOT yea. (that much closer to bringing her home, though. )

do you have the deflector piece that goes on top? I can't locate one, so I had to make one out of a piece of fiberglass.

Scar, I usually buy these type of items from Big Mike, but he didn't have these in stock. So I picked both of them up at a fair price on e bay.

davidb56, is this the deflector piece your speaking of ? The TM calls this a shield, part # 7397753 the NSN # is NSN6130-00-411-8321. Here are some pics of the one on my Deuce. There are 5 bolts securing it to the plastic battery box. Steel Soldiers member Floridianson has several plastic battery boxes new & used. He may be able to help you out with the correct part. Send him a PM if your interested. Hope this helps.

Thanks, I've been searching for replacements too. I'll do a little surfing...

I saw a bobbed deuce today and it reminded me of important safety steps with our trucks.
