    new to the deuce

    An A2 will run on anything! ( within reason ) That would be (is) a deal breaker for me. Simplicity is an issue as well. An A2 ain't easy, but it ain't complicated either. Dick.

    wmo filtering

    Tom. Just use your imagination. I'm running oil through 3 house water filters with modified filter elements in 50, 25 and 10 micron ratings from a "dirty" settling tank into a "clean" settling tank. I drain the water out of valves mounted low on the tanks and draw oil from them with valves...

    Backwards slave cable adapter?

    I picked up a 24v pump unit today; when I went to check the operation, I found that it was a NATO style connector. My truck has the older style two pin connector. The guy that I got the truck from gave me a two pin slave cable and 3 adapters. When I tried to plug one in to the truck, it arced...
