I drug my M50A2 Deuce around yesterday (hope that counts) with my Superduty with a tow bar .
I have hauled a Deuce before on a trailer behind one of my pickups, bet never with a tow bar .
The tow bar makes it a different animal, it will push you thru the turns differently, and of course you...
If you just use your bottle jack and lift it up just a minimum to where the the wheel is loose on the studs, you can just walk the wheel right off and roll it over and lean it up against the truck you won't need all that cherry picker business
The Jack stands you're trying to use are way too...
I just stick a piece of wood in between the bottle jack and the axle housing and lift it up, you only got to go an inch or two to get the wheel off, assuming you're just trying to remove the wheel

And as far as you lights go you can just use LED lights, they work from 6 to 36 volts, as for your turn signals they now make flashers that work with the low resistance LED lights, so that's no longer a challenge .
Modern-day phone chargers typically just have a USB outlet that...
Not expensive at all, it started out around 1200 bucks then dropped 800 bucks and now I it's around 350 bucks and that's for a year .

My M931 doesn't have any fuses that I know of, however I've never really looked because it's never had a problem .
Did your truck originally come with fuses ? or is this something somebody added when they messed with...
The center wire is your activation wire for the solenoid, it tells the solenoid to do its thing and send juice to the starter .
When you turn the key or starter switch all the way to the start position, that wire should be hot, activating the wire on the right .
My fuel pump died in my M50A2 when I was out on my last fire, luckily there is a lift pump on the injection pump that got me through but it makes for longer starts and makes me nervous because if that fails I'm obviously dead in the water, no pun intended
So I bought a fuel pump from Seco parts...
With the seat like that you should be smiling from the time you climb in it till the time you climb out .
My old M50A2 water truck has a piece of foam that sits on top of plywood, no suspension and I spend close to 12 hours a day in that on fires, I know that's my own fault, I definitely need...
They don't have a legit Vin like a car, when Progressive insured mine they just added a bunch of ones to make it look legit, when I switched to Hagerty, the guy saw that and laughed his ass off 😀
