Finally got my deuce running! Today! https://youtu.be/pjM27TIop8U

5th Attempt Status check: 1. Drive shaft between trans and transfer case is disconnected, so the truck isn't going to drive off on accident. Check. 2. Pulled air cleaner mushroom and laid a board big enough to suffocate the engine on the fender. Check. 3. Made sure that fuel shutoff rod...

I decided to buy the biggest magnet I could find at Menard's and search under my truck for the missing plunger tip. Wasn't really motivated after lunch so mowed the yard to clear my head. After that I went ahead and reattached my button to the HH with a new retaining clip. Went ahead and put...

Got some good time to work on the truck today. Started this morning with pulling the hydraulic head. Already had fuel lines removed, then removed fuel shutoff rod. This was the first critical step, as I had to be careful not to lose the jesus clip and the plunger tip. Got the clip off easy...

I had checked the fuel shutoff before I did the hydraulic head check. Forgot to mention that. Mine was perfectly smooth. (I'm typing all of this after the fact. I already have the truck running now).​

4th Attempt I had researched fuel issues before I bought the truck, and figured I had a problem in the Hydraulic Head. Removed the center plug in the head, had fuel in there. Had my daughter crank the engine while I held a wooden skewer on top of the shaft. Didn't seem to be moving right...

3rd Attempt Finally get some time to splice in my external fuel pump. Figured I would have to draw through the old one as there is not enough clearance between the cab and the tank to pull the in tank pump out without pulling the tank. Researched how to pull the tank, looked like a pain, plus...

2nd Attempt Got my fuses a few days later, and my external Airtex 24V fuel pump. Got a few minutes to mess around and installed new fuse, hooked batteries back up, turned on ACC, and listened to my VERY loud factory fuel pump fire up! Left the pump on and started cracking fuel lines to see...

First attempt Started to get excited that I didn't seem to have anything nasty in the tank. Maybe this would be an easy start after all! So, I stole my batteries from my M1009 to see what would happen. Installed batteries, turned on ACC, no sound at all. Fuel pump wasn't doing anything...

Baby steps Started with cleaning out the truck. Bunch of scrap metal came in the bed, bunch of vegetation came all over it, and some wildlife habitat in the engine compartment. Then I drained some fuel out of the tank to see what I had to work with. Siphoned some off the top and drained...

I recently purchased a M275A2 deuce tractor from another member. Finally got it running today, and figured I'd post the story so far. Here is how the truck looked when I first saw it: Here is the seller helping me get it out of the field to ship it home: Then finally got it home right...

I'm game for a day trip in November.

Sweet! Love the night video (same hill). Definitely get more night riding in due to it being dark at 8. No staff patrol Friday night. Saturday they did their curfew thing but it's no big deal if you're playing in the back 40 already before 10.

Nice pics. I love the picture of Jason in front of his high-centered HMMWV. Todd, do you have the video of me climbing my favorite hill? I thought you had two different vantage points of that one. Would love to see them.

We really missed you, Dave! It just didn't feel right with only one Dave in the group (we usually like to keep at least 3 Dave's on hand at a minimum!). The Dave's are also pretty much the only ones brave enough to ride with me through the rough stuff...

Sweet! Camera didn't do too bad for how dusty it was and the vibrations it had to be dealing with on the hood of my truck.

It was a pretty small gathering, but that gave us more trail exploration time. The first day I was really rough on my Blazer, and none of us thought to take pictures of the carnage. (Heat of the moment stuff). I bashed a tree on a steep hill climb, almost flipped, got stuck in a muddy rut...
