    Bringing an M35A2 out of the trees and back on the road

    If all the switches are off, and you are still getting sparks, you may have a voltage drain (short) somewhere. That could be from a bad wire or even through an electrical component like the alternator. When you see sparks, I would assume that means something is feeding current back through the...

    Uses for Deuces

    So, Friday night, we had some bad storms. Knocked out power for 6 hours, knocked down about 15 trees on my place and basically made a mess and quickly changed my Saturday plans! My driveway was blocked and while it was pretty easy to clear a path with the skidloader, it was more fun to drive...

    Bringing an M35A2 out of the trees and back on the road

    My deuce didn't sit as long as yours, but I know it sat for several years. It had mice nests, bird nests, and some other unidentifieable nests. The soft top had rotted away and there were actually a couple small weeds growing out of the seat! I never thought it would start so I didn't even put...

    Interstate Driving Etiquette

    Around here, if you display a SMV, you can get a ticket for travelling over 25 mph. You can even get a ticket for exceeding 25 mph while hauling a piece of equipment that is displaying one! It all depends on the mood of the authority figure.
