    My 1971 Am General m109a3 RV build

    They look good! Hereabouts one would risk a ticket if the additional flood lights did not turn off. They definitely need to have their own switch. The light pattern on the headlight looks sharp. Very nice.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    @Elijah95 Thanks for the follow up and the pictures! Clearly, it was having a beer that led you to the breakthrough. Good man. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

    Cylinder Liner broken pieces in oil pan

    I've rebuilt a multifuel. I am not claiming to be an authority on the matter. You can get a piston and liner and do it in frame, pulling head and oil pan. Before buying any parts I'd open the engine up and see what's what. There is a risk of metal having gone elsewhere and clearly you'd take a...

    Oil thin and drippy

    @V8srfun FWIW, I went through that when I did one of my first oil checks one Spring. "That oil looks awfully thin!". Smelled dipstick "could be diesel smell..maybe..." OMG. Fuel in oil..WTF..... Oil sample taken, sent off.... NOTHING wrong. Nada. Purely in the head (the one between the...

    Un-Preserve Multifuel

    @Greensick If you do NOT post a video of your engine coughing to life, you MIGHT get into big trouble now! ;-)

    Un-Preserve Multifuel

    This is a thread I found: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/reviving-a-multifuel.124585/ I have never revived a crate engine/preserved engine but dealt with unknown takeouts. - using starter or wrench verify that engine turns over. If it doesn't, stop here; there is not going to be a...

    Third day is a charm

    I think it's a Delco 21si. Also, modern alternators may not be rated submersible but they sure get mounted in terrible locations where they are regularly soaked...and they still work. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

    Third day is a charm

    I put in a Wolverine 24V alternator. Never looked back. Some complained about crappy service from the company. I never had an issue. Some fabricated their own bracket (really, does not look too hard if you have fabbing skills) and used an off the shelf 24V alternator. Power output to weight...

    Waiting for an update, @General Kaiser !! :)

    M35A2 power steering options?

    I adjusted the stops - but to allow more angle. The position they were in was unnecessarily restrictive. I have no rubbing or other issues with the kit. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

    @frank8003 The double-spring idea is a good one! I have to look into doing that.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    We have a good 2ft of snow on the ground and Spring thaw is still weeks away! Then the soil has to dry so I can actually park her on the grass. Weeks and weeks to go! :-(

    Major rust repair help/ideas.

    I think most sheet metal is 16 gauge. Washers...when butt welding a patch he tacks a few washers to one panel so the washers one half sticks out from the panel edge and gives the patch something to rest on/be welded to.

    Finally bypassed the FDC in my deuce.

    .....since removing the FDC without making any adjustments to the fuel quantity adjuster automatically leads to the fuel quantity injected being on the high side. The details will depend upon how the quantity setting was previously adjusted. High fuel quantity will increase power, but also drive...

    New M35A2 owner from CT!

    With winch, drop sides and hard top. Nice score! Looks like you have the PM and emergency breakdowns covered. The dragging brakes could be a master cylinder in need of having the fluid return hole cleaned out or it could be an air pack problem. When you do the oil change, you will be underneath...
