So, I've been thinking about the best way to make sure that a deuce is a reliable daily driver. I'm trying to make a 'To Do List'.
Because I don't know the history of a vehicle that I buy, I usually replace all the fluids as a start, but this heavy equipment being 50+ years old, and not knowing what has and hasn't been done, I figured a more exhaustive list would probably be best.
So, here's what I'm thinking...
Primary:
Secondary:
Future upgrades
The idea, is to turn one into a tiny house, and live in it.... Which means it'll be a daily driver, and it will need to be as reliable as it can be...
What else needs to be added to list? What am I overlooking?

So, here's what I'm thinking...
Primary:
- Change oil
- Change gear oil (axle)
- Change trans fluid
- Flush brake system
- Replace fuel filter
- Flush coolant
- Adjust air assist steering
- Adjust parking brake
- Replace belts
Secondary:
- Replace inner and outer bearings
- Replace axle seals
- Replace oil filters with spin-on kit
- Replace all rubber brake lines
- Replace all rubber air lines
- Replace all rubber fuel lines
- Replace all wheel cylinders
Future upgrades
- Dual circuit master/braking
- Full hydraulic steering
- Lockable/unlockable front hubs
- 1200/20 G272 'Stryker tires'
- ROPS/Rollover protection
