Attached are 3 pictures I have of Brad's truck from a local parade last fall. My favorite is the one of Brad and his dad with those big grins. That is what makes it all worth it. In the last picture I'm driving my deuce with Brad following behind. There was an M38A1 towing an M416 between...
I just searched and read every thread relevant mentioning "wiper wiring" and didn't find any help.
I have the upgrade/mod schematic printed out but it is difficult to read and not helping.
I have the A3 wipers and the 3 wires coming from it and nothing else. No circuit breaker or splitters...
If you copy this please mail one cold bud light to my address. Thanks! I could use it after working on the truck and trailer out in the sun. It is insanely humid and hot for May in SWPA. Blah!
The title is what I have interpreted as what's going on in these pictures my dad showed me in an old photo album. He was in the Navy and he said "here is some equipment coming back from Vietnam".
Don't forget to bleed first at the booster, then bleed the farthest brake then working closer. It might take quite awhile to bleed that furthest brake. Took me over 10 minutes to fill everything up to that point I think. I hope you have a Solider B to help or a pressure bleeder!
The dexterity of a Chinese weight lifter is not required. I am 6'2" and able to sit Indian-style under the trailer. Plenty of room to work.
Since this might be a once in a blue moon kind of thing, I'm not worried about getting down and dirty under the trailer to get the tire off and out.
The photo is misleading regarding the landing gear proximity. I should of took a picture from the side. The tire is probably 12" back from the front of the trailer bed. No where close to the landing gear.
On another note it is annoying the landing gear has to be lowered all the way to swing...
Just throwing this out for the trailer experts who might look at this: why does my 68 M105A2 have a rear landing leg / stabilizor but my 67 M103A2 that used to have a genset on it does not? I would think the genset trailer would need it more...
Yup, the M35A2 spare tire bracket and incorporated hoist that came off my 67 M35A2 (now with dual tanks!) is what I used and the hoist mechanism worked just the way it would on the deuce. No problems at all.
Like I said in the OP, this has been done before using the same equipment to mount the...
