    Now lets see your truck in the snow

    Here's mine from the coating it received last night. We're expecting this amount and more over the next 2 days so before long I won't be able to see my Deuce.......then its time to take it for a drive :-D. Got 2 threads covered in this one, got my 4-legged companion as well.

    Parking Brake won't release

    Just back the nut off until you get it inside. If you have a topedo heater or even one of those small propane heaters should be enough to get it to free up. I pulled mine in March and filled it with liquid graphite, but I don't know if its re-frozen or not. Going to check when I get home. I...

    OK, so Eric at Hotshot delivers deuce today and it has NO gauges or lights working

    My 2nd truck had the same issue that yours had. No gauges, lights or anything. Put new batteries in it and everything came alive in the truck. Do the batteries before you tear into the truck since you know it has dead batteries already.

    Dec 19 medical run

    You can definately tell you've been pushing snow with the front axels. How deep was the deepest stuff you went through (best guess of course)? Its just great you're doing this out there. Was telling the wife it would be awesome if you would have made it on TV as all of the big stations are...

    Dec 19 medical run

    Very nice job John, glad you made the trip OK and glad you got to put your OD to use for a good cause. Now about your driveway.....its a little bare. I know, you need more OD items to mark the parking areas for you :twisted:

    Got me an M75, now I need parts!!!!!!! GOT PICS.....

    Any of you guys get a lead on track pads for that thing let me know. I've been looking for some for a Walker Bulldog tank (same chassis) and have not been unable to find any.

    Broke down on side of road......fuel issue

    Glad to hear that the LEO would work with you on the situation. No need in making it any harder on you than it already is. Hope the kink is the fix for you. Now to find out why the line kinked in the first place (if that is the root cause of the issue). If you have a butane torch or...

    Getting paint off of glass and tires?

    Use black paint on the tires, easier than cleaning (and no I'm not being a smart a$$, this is a serious idea) :-D. I also used razor blades (brand new one) on my windows that you couldn't see out of due to overspray and it cleaned it right up. Put the razor blade from a box cutter in a pair of...

    Desert storm color?

    Nothing says "We're Here, Come Get Some!" more than woodland camo in a desert. :roll:

    I want a deuce

    Did your wife take a ride in the truck when you were out????? Another thing to do is find someone going to a parade with a Deuce and have her take a ride in it then, she'll be amazed at the attention the OD brings.

    hooking up 2 heaters

    Any thoughts on adding coolant to make up for the amount that the extra heater will hold in its lines?

    Best Way To Preserve Rubber?

    I treat all of my tires with UV protectant to help slow down the wear and tear on them. Plus it makes them look better in parades [thumbzup]

    A sad sign of the times

    Same dog, just a different name. You have the Red and Blue Heeler based on which color genes were dominate. The official name is the Australian Cattle Dog like you stated.
