Yes, gotcha, Cattlerepairman. Thanks for your replay.

Excellent resources! Just what I need. Thank you, Porkysplace.

I just received the snatch blocks I had ordered online - and they are too small. Looks like I have the standard winch cable on my M35A2 (looks like 1/2 inch), and the blocks I just unpacked are for 3/8 cables. Before I order more of the wrong size, should I order 1/2 inch or even a bit larger...

Loaded firewood today. Am tired of traipsing through the snow to get to the woodpile. It's still fairly warm here in PA but winter is coming... In the future, my woodpile is where I park the Deuce. Don't come over for a visit when snow covers the driveway. I expect my woodpile is going to block...

Recently bought two sets of flags for "parade duty". Got a decent deal at Home Depot on those flag sets homeowners like to mount on the side of their houses. Rigged flag holders for the Deuce and took her out today (July 4th). I was careful not to exceed 35 mph since going 35 is like putting...

Is that a good idea? I don't like to crawl under the truck either, particularly in snow, but I thought the point of draining the tanks was to let the escaping air blow out moisture that had accumulated in the tanks. I assume your automatic valves release excess air pressure just like on a...

Maybe you can convince the guy at the scrap yard to press the bent gate back into shape. Since the damage seems to be limited to that one "dent", it seems possible that a large press that can crunch a car can "iron out" that little crinkle. I don't think the empty truck is heavy enough to...

Just came back from using the old girl to move a branch the storm had torn off a maple earlier this week. It crashed down onto the driveway and then fell towards the garage door. No damage to the door. Hurrah !! I could barely lift that branch by myself and decided I shouldn't try and drag...

I had a tarp folded up for several years. It may be the one in the picture but I'm not sure. Anyway, it was just a but smaller than the cargo cover for the M35 but about the same weight. When I unfolded it, I made ear wigs and spiders and centipedes and critters like that homeless. I spread...

Bought two new flag sets and mounted posts for the flag poles to make her look nice for Memorial Day. Invited a friend to come along for a ride. She had mentioned several times she wanted me to show her how to drive a Deuce. Unfortunately, it rained most of the day, and my friend had to...

Put new batteries in recently, and since she's been starting as soon as I push her button. : - ) Definitely saved a lot of time and sweat today, maybe some tools, too. Instead of removing an old stump and roots the old-fashioned way with a shovel, pickaxe, and maybe even a saw, I spent a...

Some say I have too many vehicles. Personally, I think I just don't have a lot of parking space where I live. It's all a matter of perspective. My Deuce could be driven away if there wasn't always at least one other vehicle in the way (mine or someone else's). A thief would have to get...

I have only seen plows for the Deuce in picture and am curious how you'll make out with yours. With enough weight in the back for pressure on the tires, you should be able to move a lot of snow, particularly since you cut the width by two feet. Please post pictures when you get to use that...

All, Thanks for your many replies. I appreciate the feedback from y'all. From what I gather, removing parts and plugging things up may be just as challenging as replacing the nozzle with something I fabricate, and I wouldn't be more comfortable worrying that my plugs pop off than I would be...

You're welcome, AZK9. I'm learning as I go along, too. Every time something goes wrong I try to figure it out but since I have little mechanical experience with engines it usually takes me more time to research than it takes someone with experience to actually do the job. Luckily, my Deuce...

I saw smoke come up from under the hood of my Whistler when I stopped this morning. Fuel is leaking right behind the turbo. I did the obvious and checked the tightness of the two fuel lines with a wrench. They look and feel tight but I saw some tiny air bubbles rise up inside the plastic fuel...

For those of you who are thinking about using the kind of corrugated flexible hose you can pick up in the gardening and roofing sections at Home Depot, Lowe's and places like that for when you run your Deuce in your garage: Don't! Those hoses are relatively cheap but they don't do the job. I...

Last time I was at Ken Kublo's place I saw he had a lot of spare parts for Deuces and larger trucks. You can google his address. He's far from TX though, he's in PA.

Daytonatrbo, Nicely done with such a short stump! When I need to pull a tree, I wrap my chain around the trunk as high up as I can for best leverage. I've seen a lot of "Deuce vs. Tree" videos (not yours) where the chain or rope is attached so low that the truck struggles, wheels spinning, dirt...

Vaughjw, I was at Ken Kublo's place in Brackney. He has a huge inventory of parts. He posts to this group every once in a while but it would be faster if you called him directly. You can google his address and phone number. He put a new roof on my M35 (replacing hardtop with soft top) and I...
