well the previous owner had installed a blade style battery disconnect on the negative terminal of one of the batteries which was great until it melted through in archdale and blue flames when I went to start the deuce a couple of weeks ago to show some friends So I picked up a very similar...

Good video, like the psi specs thrown in. If you reshoot, do it in daylight :) Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

The ventures that I have seen successful are people who manufacture one or two very specific items that are either hard to source or are more often an upgrade over what you'll find in NOS parts Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

Started it. And showed the 13yo the startup procedure and various buttons/switches. Someone else needs to be able to get it running if I'm busy fighting off the zombies :D Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

Try a large tree then :)

Try winching against something unmovable applying the brakes while moving (a small shock load) What happens sometimes it's that the broken shear pin ends rub against the yoke or shaft causing a bunch of friction (happens all the time on PTO on tractor) Even if the yoke end is deformed as you...

Good eyes :) That is a mount for the bed crane for lifting from the front bumper, particularly for lifting the heads off easily. Built by the previous owner a SS member who had a thread on it methinks (kaiserjeeps iirc) Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

NO! I knew the lever won't disengage under load, however I didn't realize the weight of the cable alone is enough to prohibit disengaging! I'd finished cleaning and lubing the cable and was winding it neatly. I'd stopped several times without problem, however at the last 2 feet or so the lever...

Ill second this suggestion ^ especially the field expedient fixes part which while not specifically for recovery alone are very cool Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

You could potentially install some larger diameter ball valves in addition to the bleeder valves. If the water gets slushy in the tank, the larger valve might allow it through. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

I've had it happen on a compressor in an unheated barn. Assuming the valve is all metal, hitting the valve with torch briefly freed up mine. Not sure on deuce specific solutions Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

Doesn't coolant also circulate through the oil cooler as well? I have a hole in my oil cooler cover which is leaking my antifreeze so I've been hesitant to drive it for a while. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

Which in this case would be an overheated engine due to loud of coolant, potentially combined with poorly cooled oil (though from what I read, under normal usage the oil cooler doesn't have much effect) I was able to stem the flow by finding the right sized self taping screw that plugged the...

While pulling the deuce up to the garage to replace the tire, I noticed what looked like coolant coming from under the good. I popped the hood and saw this That is a steady stream coming out of a nice hole in the oil cooler cover. Did some reading on The Forum and it looks like the covers are...

A little late for this week but my brother and I added some flags and headed into town for the 4th. Was fun trolling along the small streets getting waves :) Yesterday I cleaned and painted up the rims on my spares for the fronts. One is 100% new tread and the other is...less beat than the...

Nvmd on the coolant...helps if you read :)

Awesome and congrats. If I ever get enough spare time (maybe when in dead?) I'm going to do the same with the LDS that came as s spare with my deuce. You running it air cooled for the short test runs or were you running full coolant through the system?

I've been thinking of pulling in the local pull with mine. Still running my baldy NDTs though ;) Good pulls!

Good stuff here, I got a pair off an A3 just need to mount them, think I need some new HW though. Nice writeup.
