What did you do to your deuce this week?

[Torquewrench]

Aw....Just thrown Soldier B under the front wheels and back 'er out!

Or, you can rig for fording and just drive through.



Please post pics of your recovery efforts.

As requested here you go:
Tow truck operator had to two part two lines to the back of Truck. We still ended up dragging him backwards about a foot and a half before he could dig in enough to get me sucked out of the ditch.
God really does love me!
Grand total for the tow bill was $125 out of pocket.

had another tree dive across my dead end street, large oak that died last year after the city sprayed the canal behind my house, base is a full 5' across. mom screwed up the video and this is all i could salvage, ground was about as grippy as you could hope for, locker in the front diff was somewhat unhappy dealing with full steering lock and full throttle 1st low as it was popping as it was unlocking and locking when i would back off and punch it again,

the last tree, had a muddy patch and a bit lighter tree then but a similar drag

Replaced the compressor pulley outer flange with a NOS one from TNJ Murray, along with a couple of new grade 8 bolts. Old one was cracked at one of the cinch points. During the replacement, used the new compressor pulley wrench set that I finally broke down and bought. Made a conduit pipe extension for use with the set... have to admit, it's much nicer than using a big-a$$ pipe wrench and a pair of channel-locks.

Winfred, cool!

When dragging trees and junk, it helps to back up close, hook the chain to the dragged object as low and tight as possible, and as high as possible on the tow vehicle. Decreases friction on the dragged and increases for the dragger.

Gotta LUV watching this ol' MV's hard at work. I think they like it too.

That is excellent advice. While watching the second video caught myself saying the same thing out loud hoping I would be heard. LOL

Carry on.

Also might I say that is a GREAT looking rig!

Changed the oil and filter, fuel filter and greased the chassis. Also added a new attention getter

What did I did I to to my truck this week? I started it, and used it as a 13,500 pound rolling air compressor to fill the flat tires on the lawn tractor. I know that's not much of a task for an M35, but it beat dragging a hundred feet of hose out of the garage to do the same task.

And I thought I was the only one. Changed out the compressor pully, and doing a coolant change.

 

[winfred]

used mine as a mobile compressor/rescue vehicle this morning, mom got a flat, the factory jack disintegrated and the spare was low from the phone call, figured the easiest thing was toss a jack in the deuce and take it instead of looking for a air pig and charging it off my home compressor, just as well as the box-o-tools i carry in the deuce was useful when the head sheared off the stock lug wrench on the 3rd lug, breaker bar and impact socket to the rescue (forgot to just grab a impact to just buzz em off)

Picked up and trans and some small bits from goodwithwood, good guy.

Finally got the truck all dressed up and painted properly! No more crappy CARC and rust! (7th Motor Transport Battalion, Bravo Company markings)

Adjusted the clutch today. Start replacing the Transmission output shaft seal tomorrow.

 

[ACAllen94]

Replaced my broken clutch return spring and adjusted the free play. Then I hosed the cab out, found an opossum skull

G'day everyone,....


Well I'll be darned,....

Got my Deuce spinning again,.....

The truck auto elec I got just put a meter on a few things to make sure power was getting where it needed to go.

After one attempt at starting he jumps up on the engine and yanks on the fan pulling the engine backwards,....

Then says: "try it now"

I hit the start button and the engine spins like a top!

Turns out the starter motor was stuck engaged.

That all took about 1.5 mins

And I have been crawling around for 6-7 monthes,.....

I feel so stupid right now,.....

sigh,....


Aussie.
