    Need a tow in ARIZONA

    Ryan, I suggest looking at the MEMBER MAP (see buttons in the header at the top of every SS Forum webpage) and then send PMs to those members near you... especially if their profiles indicate they have a capable vehicle and/or tow bar. Hope you find your way there. John

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Contact some of your local CABINET MAKERS/SHOPS who MAKE there cabinetry. Politely explain your project so you aren't mistaken as a potential competitor, then ask them from where they source their hardwoods. They might even be able to mill the wood to your required dimensions at a reasonable...

    Wrecker I.D. Help Please???? M62 or M543 maybe???

    We're making progress ! I spoke that a "point of contact" for this wrecker today! He's a very nice, enthusiastic veteran, seemingly knowledgeable of MVs in general and this truck in particular. I'm told that this truck last ran about 2-1/2 years ago. He believes that with a set of fresh...

    WD40 paint refresh

    Speaking of organic stuff to make it shine..... I was pouring WVO (Waste Veggie Oil) into the fuel tank of the Deuce and slipped causing a significant spill. While I was going to fetch some hot water and Dawn Dish Soap to clean up the fuel tank, Soldier B, who hadn't been with me for the...

    Wrecker I.D. Help Please???? M62 or M543 maybe???

    Multi-Fuel. I like that. We happen to have a spare MF still in the can that we got when we won our Deuce at auction. IF.... and I must emphasize - IF it is "for sale" the Multi-Fuel would simplify any maintenance learning curve and spare parts inventories. Got it. Thanks.

    Wrecker I.D. Help Please???? M62 or M543 maybe???

    Thanks for that. OliveDrab mentions only difference between M62 vs M543 was boom configuration, but it seems the air breather and spare tire mount vary too.

    Wrecker I.D. Help Please???? M62 or M543 maybe???

    Thanks, BigMike! Also, the M543 pics at OliveDrab.com show the front bumper mounted vise in only one shot. The base plate seems to have been standard equipment, but the vise seems seldom present. (maybe a high theft item??? LOL) Thanks again. John
