I really like the fuel versatility of the Multi in my Deuce, but the Cummins in my 5 ton sure has power. Regarding sugar sand: 5 Ton with 1400-20 singles does MUCH better than Deuce with 900-20 duals. Eric CBVET

RE: Re: RE: DeskTop Icon? Okay, I finally got it. I finally asked my wife, which I really hate to do. For 20 years I've had her convinced I know everything! Had to right click blue bar at top of screen, select restore. Page got smaller, revealing part of desktop. Put arrow (which changes to a...

Sorry to say I haven't started on the Mighty Mite "kit" yet. This working for a living really sucks. When I get the parts sorted out I'll take some pics. Thanks for the interest, Eric CBVET

RE: Re: RE: DeskTop Icon? Thanks guys, I'll be back at my computer tomorrow & I'll see what works. Eric CBVET

John, I know a lot about guns, dogs, beer, & women. Don't know sh-t about computers. Be more specific please. If I right click on the SS banner I get a list of choices, but none are "create icon". Eric CBVET

Got new computer. Can't remember how to create a desktop icon for SS. Eric CBVET

I'd still like to see an official SteelSoldiers "club". I would start one here in Northwest Indiana. Eric CBVET

I put the front bumper up against an Oak tree, put the T-case in low range, put the trans in first gear. Gave it throttle & eased-out the clutch. The 1400-20's dug in. Eric CBVET

Aww C'mon, Buy her an impact wrench for Valentines day. Nothing says "LOVE" like a new power tool. Eric CBVET

Gimpyrobb wrote "You can hook up hoses from the deuce's glad hands to the 5ton's glad hands to get brakes." How does that work? I know the M813 has front gladhands, but don't understand how the towed vehicle's brakes can work without the brake pedal being depressed. Could you add glandhands to...

I bought some once as "Trucker's Rope" on Ebay. Eric CBVET

It's got a new air filter, tires are at 50. I haven't adjusted the valves. Last valves I adjusted were on a '63 Studebaker Hawk, but I'm sure I can handle it. Truck starts instantly & runs really strong. Would a turbo really improve mileage? Thanks, Eric CBVET

I keep reading where guys are getting 10-12 MPG in multifuel Deuces. The best I've ever hit was about 8 with desplined front hubs & traveling at 45 MPH. I'd like to try turning the fuel down, but need some help. How can I tell the "best" setting for this engine (non-turbo) ? Can I damage...

I guess 6TLs are necessary if you want original equipment, but my M813 with the Cummins 855 cube engine does just fine using two group 31 batteries. About $75 each. I sometimes have to crank it quite a while in the cold weather, & the batteries have held up. Eric CBVET

RE: Re: RE: Abnormal 3-lever light switch I remember replacing a three-lever switch on a Deuce in 'Nam, for just that reason. The Senior Chief said it was broken. Eric CBVET

What about it guys? Any source for the seals? Anyone else think putting a tube in is a better idea? I really don't like driving without a spare. Eric CBVET

NAPA has it in stock locally, Tractor Supply doesn't. Eric CBVET

I know this was discussed before, but I can't find the info. The mounted spare for my M813 doesn't hold air. Before I go to the trouble of unloading it from the truck to look for a leak, I thought I should get a spare seal that goes between the wheel halves. 1400-20 20-Bolt wheels. Anyone have a...

I'd be real interested in some type of boom or crane I could mount on a Deuce or M813. Eric CBVET

Phil (Beaubeau), Was that an Army junkyard in DaNang in'68? I thought it was a Marine yard, but I'm not sure. We scrounged a lot of stuff out of that place. I seem to recall Onan light-plant engines were a favorite for go kart builders. When the generator portion would fail, they'd get junked...
