Sorry about the bad video but the camera guy who had my camera let my camera hang from his wrist while he took pictures with his DSLR. (you can hear his shutter)
It was the first time I...
G'day everyone,....
The down Hill Slide.

You can't see just how steep that hill is,...
Aussie.
G'day everyone,....
Well here I sit outside Yark.
I sit inside the clubhouse at the fireplace where it is comfortably warm,...
The drive out here in the Deuce was AWSOME!
The hills and some hairpin turns on the steep sections,...
And the looks I got from officials when I drove into the...
G'day everyone,....
Well so far this week I have done nothing but help my sisters BF move house.
I had this week set aside to work on the Deuce to fix the 2 little fuel leaks,....
That's not going to happen, I leave tomorrow for Cruiserkhana for 3 days.
I will fix the one at the filter...
G'day everyone,....
Ok,....
I figured out what it is,...
Its the fuel filter for the injector.
Well that's 2 leaks in the same system.
Oh and I have to do the oil and filter change.
This should be fun,....
Aussie.
G'day everyone,....
Well this afternoon I went and collected my Deuce,...
I think its been sitting 6weeks, maybe 2 months since last time,....
I don't think the engine did two complete rotations and it fired right up!
I am still in awe of the sound when it fires up from dead cold...
G'day everyone,....
Well in 3 days I'll be getting mine out of storage and with luck will get to do its first oil/filter change 'Down Under!'.
Might have a way to undo the stuck sump drain nuts,..
Aussie.
G'day everyone,....
How about a simple bolt with a hole drilled through it?
You just put a padlock through the hole in the bolt.
Hole in tool handle go's over bolt, tool then secured by padlock.
Simple enough?
Aussie.
G'day everyone,....
Thanks Rusty,... I just read that thread then came here,....
LOL.
Not a bad set-up but I can't help but think of what if you sink the front end into soft ground?
Will the combined weight and any momentum bend the tow bar?
Sorry but my mind at times works in mysterious...
G'day everyone,....
I'd love to see any pictures of that front mount system.
Did you consider under the bed at the front in the cavity where I thing you can store the bows,...?
Did yours have a winch?
Aussie.
G'day everyone,....
Can't add to much to whats been said so far but if your going to store any weight like you propose for any length of time you may want to put the trailer up on blocks by the frame so any weight is off the axle ect,...
Put blocks on the chassis rails at front and rear...
G'day everyone,.....
Sounds like the bypass valve is stuck.
I'd say since its been sitting so long oil has dried and gummed up the valve and now its jammed.
Just my thoughts.
Aussie.
G'day everyone,.....
Thanks for that,......
I wonder if I should drive out there with my Deuce for ****s and giggles,...?
Would love to have a look around the museum though,.....
Aussie.
G'day everyone,.....
Had a look at what seems to be in the locking pin hole and its a rolled up piece of paper,...
Looks like a document relevant for the trailer maybe.
I'd say the reason the landing gear isn't down is because whoever parked it there was just to lazy to use it.
Great...
