Yeah, as BfT said, should be zero, but not on mine. Something is drawing a small amount of energy, haven't found out yet what it is. It draws enough that when I connect the battery I see small sparks. The batteries last a few days that way, but I have to unhook them when it sits longer (do...

I agree with you, that was my concern, too. But my source is a company that specializes in that (no junkyard with a waste disposal problem) and they told me that PCB oil hasn't been used over here for the last thirty+ years anymore, and the transformers they drain are fairly new and not...

Gents, we have a small grass air strip near Stuttgart here which is operated by a glider club. It has been tradition there that every two years they have a fly in for oldtimers and warbirds, and they have grown bigger every year. This year they absolutly went over the top with a huge program...

Superb job. How long did it take you to blast the frame?

I run mostly WMO and transformer oil and noticed a considerable increase in blueish smoke, expecially after starting it, when its cold. Used transformer oil is worse (who knows what flame inhibiting substances or stray electrons are in that stuff) and stinks very strangely. I try not to have...

> It beats collecting stamps :funny: sure does! Nice plane! Thanks for the pics! Cheers, Mark

OT: interesting hangar you have there, is that a Fieseler Storch and a SdKfz 251 on the pictures? Mark

Wow, cool find, very beautiful truck. I always wonder why they built these with right hand drive (the later built swiss Saurer trucks, too). Try to google the number without dots, i.e. 1457431270 and filter. you get urls like Main Filter Group - Largest online filter store or Luftfilter und...

Be careful when fumbling around with wrenches or other conductive things around the starter / selenoid hooked hot to a battery... I once had a hair-raising (literally) experience with that...:doh: Cheers, Mark

Good Job, I look forward to to see it completed! Cheers, Mark

Sorry, don't mean to hijack the thread, but I see WIX filters on the adapters. I wonder if there are also complementary types to be had from Baldwin or other manufacturers for the adapters. I ask because WIX filters are hard to get over here. Cheers, Mark

I want to thank combst32 aka Tom for sending me a part of the clutch linkage which got lost while driving. I really appreciate that because it can be really problematic to get some spare parts for these trucks outside the US, expecially when you need them ASAP. Thanks! Mark

Interesting post, Marti! Thanks! Mark

Hehe, some of my make-shift fixes on the deuce surely have a redneck taste, but since I'm german, I can't be a true redneck anhow! :wink: Mark

Hey, that is a clean looking rig, nice shot! Congratulations! Mark

When I changed my primary the first time I was startled to see that - there was nothing inside :shock:. Somebody just left it off. I had to fabricate all the washer and stuff inside to make a new filter fit. Is there a spin-on kit for the primary filter available, too? Would be great to have...

OT: I always thought only Hueys and Cobras had these :wink: (it keeps the rotor on the main shaft) ?? Cheers, Mark

That's indeed strange. My friend has a dropside bed on his deuce with a normal (low) tailgate. Mark

What does "pickling the engine" mean exactly :confused: Mark
