    Cooling Off Idle

    M1075, What is our vehicle count at? Do you have any off-line vehicles joining? Also, I've been told we need to be at Pops NLT 1100 hours, a prompt departure at 0930 will put us close. Round Barn photo op may have to be after lunch but we will see how things are going.

    That is a neat trick, do they push back on as easy as pulling them on? Looks like a two man job. I think I will keep my eye out for a cheap ATV lift also. I'm glad everyone kicked in other ideas! This site is great!!!:-D:-D

    road draft tube / slobber tube

    My deuce currently has no tube on it and is making a mess on my starter and front axle. I did a search and saw that I need a 1 1/4" ID tube about 3' long and NAPA has them. My question is, what type of tube am I asking for? I'm expecting the usual questions that have no relevance to my...

    Fording Vent to Master Cylinder Venting Brake Fluid?

    It was my understanding that the MC & Airpack line needed to be seperated from the Fuel tank vent line. Is there another modification seperating the MC from the airpack???

    Blew out my horn, I think???

    Well I was getting ready for my Halloween trail last night, which I was going to have my duece turn on its lights and blow the horn to scare the patrons. The wife thought the horn was a little too loud, so I packed a blanket in front of it. I hit the horn and it made a funny squeak and now...
