Well, with the exterior painting that is. This is a sherwin williams industrial enamel I got from a flea market $50.00 a gallon paint for $15 ea. I call it gravel road brown. Next is to due the remaining frame and axles, satin black. UHH I meant to post photos, but I guess it did not work. How...

been doing too much! Well, I gave her a full filter change, air, fuel, oil. Entire grease job front to back. Changed diff. oils too. Been sandblasting and painted the grill, and wheels. Working on the box and cab, did paint the cab thus far. Sandblasting the box now mostly surface rust, this is...

ahhh I supected possibly voltage regulator also. That would expain it. Thanks Meindl

alternator showing overcharging In my Deuce, the alternator showing and sounds different when the gauge shows its overcharging. This seems to only happen when I'm wheeling down the road at 55 m.p.h. give or take a m.p.h. I can hear something whining away under the hood, then check my gauges and...

Yeah Looks like I will have to make my own. The local Napa had only hydraulic fittings and hoses available. No one in our town had ferrels like these either. Just standard plumbing brass. Standard brake air line was good to 120 psi and o.d. fine, but the i.d. would not work with the ferrels and...

Can I get the plastic fuel lines at my local Napa or Auto Value? If not, is there a locally available replacement? Copper lines? Do the ferrels fit the same? Found a pinhole leak where they were touching. Thanks Meindl

Good point Gues just leaving it the way it came clears up any legal comfilcts. Not that Mdot would know these vehicles much. Anyone have issues with Mdot and there m35a2?

thanks all Will think about this for awhile. Running it as is for now. Interesting to hear peoples point of view. We can all learn alot if we just listen once in awhile. Thanks

Got it! Found the old original fuse was bad after all. I installed an inline set-up with a modern plastic blade type fuse, 10a. After removing the old set-up there is plenty of room in the housing. The old fuse housing was corroded anyway and newer ones are easier to find. In tank pump worked...

sounds good Sounds good I will give these a look. Thanks all!

I use automotive brand paints, mainly dupont. I do not really want to spend $135 a gallon to paint my deuce, and would rather get it locally than order it. Does Lowes or Menards have a type that anyone has used? I will be spraying it of course. Valspar or Sherwin Williams possible? The low or...

Any Deuce pics. of this color. Trying to pick a color for mine, its tan now.

The buzzer is not a deal breaker for me, but would still rather have a blinking red light readily visible. Maybe placed in an overly obviuos location for maximum visibility. Thanks for replies and thoughts, Meindl

Anyone know of a 24v warning pressure light, instead of the buzzer on a deuce for the low air pressure warning? Just do not like the buzzer deal. Thanks, Meindl

ah ha Looks like the fuse is bad to the in tank pump, as well as the fuse holder and the main power wire to the pump looks shabby. I have 25v of power to the plug on top of the tank. With this fix, I think bleeding should work. Going to cross my fingers- Meindl
