G'day everyone,.....
Just ordered a new set of bow storage straps for my Deuce.
The ones I had, or what was left of them were rotten.
Took them off a while ago, the new ones will look awesome, that and having a full set.
You know what they say about the little things that make a big...
G'day everyone,.....
As it happens ALL except the lower radiator hose was replaced by the last owner, even the little ones on top of the manifold.
I replaced the lower radiator hose after this:
Even that took me ages to do, but i got it done.
Right now I just have to put the radiator...
G'day everyone,....
I don't see anything modified but my issue was the gap between the lower pulley and the radiator shroud was half what was needed to get a belt past it.
Thats why I had to move the radiator forward to make a gap to get the belts past.

G'day everyone,....
Well I go the new belts on,....
I undid the bolts on the bottom of the radiator and the two on the brace at the top.
I then tried to pry the radiator up, I had to use my porta power so I can raise it just enough for the lower bolts to clear so I can move the bottom...
G'day everyone,....
Well I have undone the bolts that hold the radiator and it is now draining,....
Its hot here so I will call it a day for work outside, tomorrow I only need to lift the radiator enough to move the bottom forward about a centimetre so I can
get the belts past the lower...
G'day everyone,....
Today I had some time free so I went to see about replacing the compressor belt that has my Deuce parked in my back yard.
I have come to the conclusion that I will have to remove the radiator, I think I may replace the other belts while I am there.
Also While I was under...
G'day everyone,....
OMG! that was painful to watch.
Why did'nt they just use the chain on the tree then on bumper and drive the trailer out from under the Deuce?
That poor deuce,.....
Aussie.
G'day everyone,....
Ok, if you vote for my Beast I'll teach you to talk with a really cool accent!
Great for meeting women!
Think about it,....

G'day everyone,....
What a fantastic job you have done with your M35 Tracer.
I especially like the way you have mounted the tow bar.
I also take it the flow rate of the 5 ton air filter is better than the original (410 CFM) filter?
To be honest the only thing I would do now would be to add...
G'day everyone,.....
The initial shipping info when I placed the order was delivery expected end of Sept.
Once the order was placed and confirmed delivery is now beginning of Sept so not so bad.
Fingers crossed!
Aussie.
G'day everyone,...
Late the other night I ordered 2- 3mtr X 5mtr woodland camo nets.
I'll put them over the canvas cargo cover on my Deuce.
Should arrive end of September.
Aussie.
G'day everyone,.....
Today I had a brain storm,....
Remember a while ago I went to see the guy near me who has the M185?
He also restores and has had a few International Army trucks, he's currently working on one.
It has a winch, these winches can be used at the front OR rear of the truck...
G'day everyone,.....
Really love the last two!
Love the 'Black Rifles Matter'
Just arrived 20 mins ago, my 2 sets of compressor wrenches!
And of course its going to rain today!
sigh,....
Aussie.
G'day everyone,.....
Yesterday I found a mattock and a shovel for my Deuce's pioneer tool rack.
They should arrive in a week.
I have an axe thats well used so will look good, still has a bit of life left in it.
Then I can fit them with the new straps I have for the tool rack.
