What did you do to your deuce this week?

[goodwithwood35]

Tore the transmission apart, gave it a good bath, pressed off gears, in the process of installing the 0.69 OD gears. Need to have my 2nd gear drilled out at the machine shop then I can put it all back together. Going good so far...

That's an ambitious project; not for the faint of heart.

Have you done it before?

Not on a deuce but plenty of toyotas and Hondas. It's really pretty straightforward Tom's site gives excellent instructions if you're familiar with a press, dropping the deuce transmission is simple for the most part.

Please share lots of pictures. My transmission has a bit of a roar at high speed and some day I assume I'll be tearing it down. Hopefully before total failure.

That's funny how everybody seemed to stop and give you PLENTY of room.

What kind of trees are those in the woods, is that mostly Eucalyptus (sp?)?

Wired up an extra gauge light hoping this solves the night driving dilemma

I noticed that on my m35, the gauges are only illuminated by those little blackout lights. On my M109, the gauges are fully back lit.

Do I need to replace some bulbs, or upgrade my gauges?

 

[theeDIZ]

I ordered different covers to change the color illuminating the dash. I noticed that some have the dot on the faces to let you know they are on , some are all plastic and shine out and a few that had all blackout and backlit only. I put an all plastic for high beam so I could see it during the day and the ones with little cutouts for dash lighting

Those are mostly 'blackwood' tree's.

I never even heard of a blackwood tree until now, Aussie; gotta get out more.

I might have to grab a toothbrush, jump on a flight, and buy you a beer, and maybe you could show me one of those. I like trees. That'd be cool!

Picked up some singles for the deuce from hooks.

That's a nice haul; I hope you got the "bulk discount".

 

[goodwithwood35]

Ah the memories of hauling mine back. 900 mile round trip and spending the night in the desert awaiting for the base to open next day!

The desert can get mighty cold at night. Hope you brought your sleeping cap along on the trip!

I'm used to hiking in the backcountry, it can get down to the teens at night. Mid 30s I can handle!

Ha ha nope. But really decent price. Really impressed with the wife's dodge ecodiesel. I hauled three pallets of tires, two were in the bed, total haul/towed weight was around 7400lbs and I averaged 15.9 mpg. And that is rolling about 63mph.

Impressive! My gas Chevy got about 12-14 towing at its best on flat land. Unloaded it got about 17.
