Thinking that the girls are home now I will close this one down and move to the deuce section and share my learning curves as we bring them back to the land of the living. Maybe someone can benefit from our experiences. Think we will call it The tale of two Deuces.

Another great day with the green stuff. Swapped all 10 tires and wheels with best we could find. This one had fluids so just topped everything off for now. She towed a little better than the shop van guessing weight and aerodynamics. Now to get everything running moving and stopping.

Thanks yes I like how it turned out too. Especially for rattle can. Fixin to begin our quest

Son came to the rescue so we all packed up and m725 back together enough to tow.

Yes, I have had to put in a little time at the ol salt mine. I will send pictures in a little while. I went over and put a final coat of JD Blitz black on the bumper a bit ago. I really like the RAPCO OD paint. Especially if the gallons lay down as good as the rattle cans. I rattle caned the...

Putting the M725 back together after painting back end and bumper then gathering up fluids and equipment today for attempted beastie W/W recovery tomorrow.

Didn't think about soaking the injectors but will now. Thanks

Use that stuff to soak the injectors or pour in top of cylinders? I put the marvel in cylinders to soak top side of rings and pistons. I haven't done anything with injectors

Pulled the injectors and poured mystery oil on top side to soak a few days before trying to roll the crank over.

Still sounded fun at 58 hehehe. But I refuse to grow up. Too many old folks in the world.

Yes I see the definite advantage to lifting the front. But that would have taken away the experience and pucker factor from the day hehe.

Looks as though the wheels and tires are LMTV and I can't find anyone that still makes an adapter so guess we will work with the 9:00s for now. Like she's rippin and roaring ready to drive under is own power right now hehehe

Ok boys and girls or however you choose to identify today. We had a great day today on the playground wrestling with everything that is heavy, flat or stuck. Then we spent the afternoon letting the tail wag the dog on the way home. What we learned in class was; tow vehicle probably needs to...

I did some looking on the web and found the measurements for MRAP wheels. Hopefully tomorrow we will be in 109 retrieve mode and I will see what the stacks of wheels are. Maybe make a deal with the rest of my grand kids lunch money for a a set if they are the righ ones.

Thinking again so bear with me please. Love the looks of super singles on the Deuce. There are several stacks of mounted wheels and tires possibly MRAP. I know there are two LMTV s with wheels and tires on them. I see that adapters are made to go from what I got to what I need but I don't know...

Ya but supposed to be 90 tomorrow maybe itwill dry out. Hope so

Storm came through this evening knocking out tomorrow's attempted tow. Will see what Saturday looks like.
