What did you do to your deuce this week?

[rustystud]

Can you grind them off and then punch them out....?

If you punch them out you will destroy the "captive nut". The bolts are 3/8" fine thread. So when they get rusty you have a lot of threads to "unrust" ! I would try some "PBS" spray or better yet "Evapo-Rust" . Just pour some out around the bolts and leave it for a day.

 

[TsgtB]

Ahh... my bad. Mine has 2 springer seats without any captive nuts...

 

[theeDIZ]

Replaced my hardtop

 

[greaser]

Looking good Diz.

I got some 24v led spots to mount up.

 

[bosephjarrows]

Did an oil change.. Only got about 2 gallons out of it. Every time I checked the oil it was high on the stick then I realized it says check 1 minute after running.. Also changed the exhaust stack from short chrome to a taller one.

windshield wipers air supply

Removed the windshield wiper air supply valve and replaced two times. Heater vent controls and engine pre-heater controls ALL in the way. Like I said, 2 times.
She with scary socks went back to work, left me again.

Upside down and backwards is lots more difficult with the consequences of age. So when you get ready to replace the fasteners one finds One can't get the head around far enough to see thru the bifocals! Like being useless.
But I was actually just finishing the job of the remote reservoir sight-glass I wanted.

"...Upside down and backwards is lots more difficult with the consequences of age..."

Similar syndrome to replacing the air pressure gauge feed hose. Even with the passenger seat out, soft top untied and up, and feet against the headache rack.

Had the local tire shop swap the worn out left front tire for the brand new spare and ordered a brand new tire for the right front. The rear tires are still good. I'm starting to eliminate the leaky CTIS components from each wheel.

 

[JohnnyBM931A2]

The main thing is adding the third axle makes the suspensions fight each other a bit. I was hoping to have three axles that would flex as well as the two axles do and that is close but not quite the case. Here is the updated picture with the new tires and wheels.

That truck is just awesome dude

 

[theeDIZ]
