    New Young Member and have many questions

    Gospel. Done properly, you can get the Historical registration with GVW of zero. IIRC they had to enter five zeroes for the computer to accept the rating. Go fully loaded with copies of all applicable points.

    What to do after you get your HAM radio license

    You don't need much of an antenna when 6m is open; but more than an HT. Follow the grey-line from sunset until about 11 at night; starts more eastward and then swings North into Canada. The 4th of July is historically a good night for sporadic-E on 6m

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Relining hand brake Heard a strange ringing sound from under the truck. Like an old-school alarm clock. Found one hand brake shoe with less than half a lining left, both springs gone. Ordered new linings and springs from Erik’s and got the rivets and tooling from Hanson Rivet. Made holders...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Been a while since Silver Creek's been navigable. I can understand why they dumped them: couldn't make it another 2 miles to the Colorado with all those holes in 'em

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Siver Creek Road While back we had an all agency sponsored clean-up event of a popular offroad and shooting area along the road from Bullhead to Oatman. For some odd reason, people think they can just dump stuff. Between myself and another local with a 5-ton, we collected over a hundred old...

    Dual Voltage Alternator Install on a Deuce

    Other than the adjuster(looks pretty easy), can you list off the parts you replaced and/or modified once your happy with the install? I was hoping the 200 would fit, the 100's are rarely popping up anymore.

    Fiber vs. Copper crush washer

    Thank you both for that reassurance. "Since it doesn't leak I hope I'm good to go" almost made it in the OP. I was just wondering if there was any difference really.

    Fiber vs. Copper crush washer

    While changing the oil filters in my deuce, I noticed that the washers had not been included in the kit. No big deal. Upon removal, the previous filters were installed with copper crush washers. Being in a bind, I fabbed a couple up from some solid copper washers I had on hand. Later...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Here's a pic showing I had a problem. It was an extremely slow leak from the coupling hose right behind the filters. At first I thought that the clamp had just worked loose. Tightened it and idled for 30 minutes but the seepage returned. Was able to replace the couplers at both ends only...

    I'm worried about my Deuce freezing tonight

    I dropped into the 20s here last week and I was running around looking for anti-gel. Fortunately I was ridiculed enough by friends telling me not to worry if it's only 20 degrees. BTW, locals tell me it hasn't snowed in Needles since 1949

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Already measured as 2" as I had the same question. Gates 28229 is rated to 500 degrees, that would be fine right close to the engine, right?

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Oil cooler line hose leak Found green antifreeze dripping from around the rearmost oil filter housing and onto IP. The oil cooler tube hose behind the canister is cloth covered and likely original. So that gets replaced tomorrow! Will take pics

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I've had the bobbed deuce for about a month and a half. Been reading madly to get familiar with the systems again, haven't driven one since the Army in early 80's. Checked front axle last weekend and found eggnog colored oil. Already had replacement boots and seals so looked forward to...

    M35 fuel cap gasket

    I plan on getting the real thing. But if you're out somewhere fueling up and find the gasket broken or what-not, at least there's a quick fix.

    M35 fuel cap gasket

    Just picked up a bobbed deuce from a co-worker and was out tooling around and spotted some seepage on top of the tank. Reckon the bumps in the road and some sharp turns allowed the fuel to splash up around the filler cap. Gasket looks OK but is now too thin for any kind of a seal. It's a...
