    Deuce alternator

    That's too bad. It looks like rebuilding it is not an option for you. It's still a good idea to put new brushes in the replacement, (once you find a replacement), before installing. I found a brush set + holder for mine on eBay for only a few $.

    Multifuel Longevity

    OD Iron also sells a remote oil filter setup. It uses a larger and better filter then the WIX 1970 series filter. http://www.odiron.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=8_10&products_id=41 Installed: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=13210 As for Pre/post...

    Multifuel Longevity

    Show off. :P These engines were built with a handicap - The oil system. Get modern filters on these engines and they will last forever.

    Stretch's used oil centrifuge

    I am very interested in the results of the before and after oil analysis. I would be willing to throw in a couple of $ to help speed it along.

    Ya'd think CA would have enough to do!

    RE: do It is all about money... I am glad NC passed a law to officially exempt homemade biodiesel (for personal use only) from all taxes.

    Pre / Post Lubrication System...Done.

    That's a good idea. A street elbow would do the trick. Good question...I am not entirely sure. The electronics cost $60-70, M151 starter cost $25+ship, Maybe $50 for plumbing? Thats all I can remember. I bought different things over several months, so I lost track. Nope, no can do. Three...

    Bad Alternator

    Don't throw parts at your problem. Isn't the accessory switch a DPST switch? One pole could have failed. If that switch has failed, the alternator will not charge. You need to use a multimeter and get the wiring diagram out. You can download a diagram @...

    Remote Brake Reservoir...Done.

    Oh that's just making use of the available fittings. I needed an AN fitting of an odd size and those were the only ones readily available.

    Remote Brake Reservoir...Done.

    The float switch is part of the cap. The wiring is simple. The float switch is closed when the fluid low. It controls the ground side of a relay. When that relay is activated, it provides power to the buzzer and light. I will take a picture of the cap. The power side of the coil it...

    Pre / Post Lubrication System...Done.

    Here's a picture of when I was making the controller assembly. I installed the controller under the driver's seat. As with all connections, I used weather-pak connectors to connect it all together. ...Added a picture of the controller assembly installed under the driver's seat.

    For air tools... I keep a 20 Ton Air-over-Hyro Bottle jack, air gauge with a 20 Ft air hose, and a 1" impact gun. For access to the air supply, why not add an air reel: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=11775 Also check out the M35 Lube Order...

    Pre / Post Lubrication System...Done.

    I wanted the lowest available spot. I figured it's no worse off then the commercially available setups. The idea of something snagging is a concern...somewhat. That's why the fittings are steel and why I used a hydraulic line. But it's not as bad as it seams in the picture. It would take an...

    Class IV Hitch...Done.

    I got the hitch from Summit Racing. http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=CHT-14082 I have a 12K 6" drop bar for it. That lines up nicely with my larger trailer. Put my smaller trailer may be out of luck. 24V relays are common and cheap if you know where to look. Everything...

    Pre / Post Lubrication System...Done.

    This is something that I have been gathering up parts for sometime. The stock oil system simply sucks for the type of situation it is in (it's not in the arctic). The stock system takes 12-15 sec until oil pressure is built up. The stock filters don't filter very well. A year ago I updated...

    Remote Brake Reservoir...Done.

    I like the idea of adding a remote reservoir a lot. I got an old M/C reservoir off of an old Acura about a year ago to do this. I just machined some aluminum to the right diameter and made an adapter. Now the neat thing about this is the cap. The cap has a float switch. I have wired the...

    Class IV Hitch...Done.

    I have finished my projects...For now. One of which was installing a class IV hitch on the Deuce and have a 12V outlet to allow the towing of typical trailers. The wiring was simple. All you need is a 24V relay controlling a 12V circuit. You need a relay for tail lights, left turn/left...
