    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I got plates for my M109A3, and submitted the paperwork to obtain a title. If I can get a chance to R&R the lift pump, and swap out my bad injector line, I should be in good shape to sell her once the title comes back.

    Hidden deuce finds

    Last night I opened up the jack storage box on the 109 and found a brand new set of road triangle reflectors.

    Project Off-Grid M109A3 w/w log

    Just beautiful. Makes me wish I could keep my 109. I hope whoever buys it looks after it as well as you are yours.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Leverage make a big difference. You can't really see well in the video, but the first stump I pulled was much bigger and I left about 5' of trunk to get it. The "bounce" technique eliminates all of the smoke and drama, as long as the strap holds. You can tell in the video I'm not using much...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    This little poplar was surprisingly stubborn. Videography was very poor. I used a "bounce" method since the tires were just spinning otherwise. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLRbRFuA8gw

    I need some fenders!! Last weekend I used the deuce to pull some tree stumps. Anyone on the facebook group might have seen the video I posted.

    Steel Windshield Frame Soft Top Channel

    Ok. I sorta found that the hard way while removing my soft top, just wanted to make sure I hadn't missed anything. I guess I should have looked up the appropriate manual.

    Hidden deuce finds

    Haven't found anything too exciting in mine. There's a GI Joe figure chilling in one of the front tow rings, but I saw that before I bought it. I found the auction paperwork where the previous owners bought each of my deuce's from govliq. Found the PO left a fishing pole in the back of my...

    Steel Windshield Frame Soft Top Channel

    Is the top supposed to slide-in, or hook-in?

    How easy does your multifuel deuce start?

    My truck typically sits for a few weeks between uses. I let the lift pump run for a bit and I crank it over a little with the engine stop pulled out (I saw this advised somewhere in case of hydrolock when sitting). I then push it in and by the time the engine stop hits the dash, the engine is...

    M35a2 oils

    I found a jug of their oil in my garage when I moved in. So far I've used it far bar oil on the chain saw, and thats about it.

    M35a2 oils

    I wouldn't say its a myth, but its been fixed. When synthetics were first introduced they found that they didn't keep rubber seals swelled up the way conventional oil did. The seals would appear to "dry out" and could introduce leaks. They corrected that with some additives.

    Glad to hear it. I like the price.

    M35a2 oils

    Would this be a suitable oil? http://www.walmart.com/ip/Shell-Rotella-T-15W-40-Heavy-Duty-Diesel-Oil-5-gal./14958329

    m35a2 runs rough at startup. Need input

    My 109 currently has a small leak on one of the injector lines. I have to run the lift pump extra long if I want a smooth start. My other truck doesn't have any leaks, and about 30 seconds on the lift pump is all it takes for a quick, smooth start.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Mine needs the back window stitched back in. And some sort of coating to seal up the threadbare spots on top. Maybe I just need to find a new one....

    Speedometer Adapter Leaking Gear Oil

    Thanks for the reply. My sister used to have a toyota truck that had a dried out speedometer cable and it made a HORRENDOUS noise in the cab. I figured on a larger truck, the noise would be equally larger. I'll definitely be lubricating mine to see if any difference is made. The fact that...

    Speedometer Adapter Leaking Gear Oil

    Did your speedometer cable or drive make any funny noises? My transmission has a high speed hum, and I'm hoping its just the speedo cable and not the output bearing as another member found to be the culprit on his truck.

    I have a whole litter of kittens living in one of mine. No bird issues there.
