    MT-1 Gear oil question

    Okey dokey; thanks so much; you saved me a stinky, sulphurous bath in old oil. PM me some time; I'm from Dallas.

    MT-1 Gear oil question

    I went over and 'prepped' my deuce I recovered in San Antonio two weeks ago; I added Valvoline GL-5 gear oil, which was rated MT-1. I just kind of topped off all of the drivetrain. Going back in this weekend to drive it home. Will be over 500 miles. Question is, as long as a gear oil is...

    Two Deuces Down--Hydrostatic Lock?

    I vote with GForce on this one. Socket to the dampner with a big @$$ flex handle, rotate engine with injectors out and if they spit anything, you were (obviously) hydrolocked. I'm tending to think, though, with this symptomatic as to two deuces doing the same thing, it's electrical. Both...

    Locked Military padlocks

    Oh, I agree with that; again, I just posted to tell about great locks. On the border down here, I use containers to secure my stuff; welded a box where you have to stick the key up in there to unlock the container in a metal welded box. Ain't no bolt cutters getting to that. It would take a...

    Locked Military padlocks

    I went through this lock thing recently; my Deuce had the same "government" lock on the steering wheel chain, but alas, no key. Really didn't matter to me, as I live on the southern border and locks are important. I cut the lock off and installed an American Lock Series 700 which is beefier...

    texas rally anyone???

    I'm for what Hell On Wheels suggested. How 'bout a swap meet in San Antonio. Everybody brings their goodies. I don't really think the mil bases will let us on, but how 'bout the swap meet area there at the south loop of 410; they have lots of extra space; and with us showing up, they HAVE to...

    Took pics today with a simple Sony Cyber Shot camera. Want to post to the junkyard forum for the guys with older Deuces who might need parts. How do I do it?
