Saw no reason for the stock configuration to leak, yet they did, not anymore
Edit: in hindsight I do not at all care for the shiny aluminum parts on my engine, wish I had painted it first and I shall still, with a little brush, maybe filters too with a spray can

Nice, that's on my future to do list for my 64 model!
Oil filters are not too much a problem for me so far, however the fuel filters are another story. Definitely will look into a spin on set up for at least the two twin secondary filters.Saw no reason for the stock configuration to leak, yet they did, not anymore

I doubt you will ever need the flame heater while in Florida. It's primary use was to heat up the incoming air enough to get the LD series engines to start when the temp was at 0 degrees F or lower. All new lines will help, but it remains a point of failure that most of us in the south can avoid.

We have property in the Pacific Northwest and I will be taking Deuce 2 out there so want to be able to start in the negative temp range. Deuce 1 has its flame heater deleted as it will live in Florida,
speaking of flame heater, I was sold this replacement spark plug with a different part number than the Autolite currently in the truck. The old PN is 1093558 the new PN is a Champion 733556; are they compatible? The new one has an offset tip from the center electrode. The NSN of the new plug is 2920-00-411-5747.

Morse Code is still alive-and-well?!
In a world of runaway tech, that is reassuring in a way.

Today I finally changed the gear oil in the transmission and transfer case. Trans oil was slightly dark but not bad. Transfer case oil looked and smelled like new. Some bronze shavings in the oil but no chunks. Penn Grade 80w90 gl4 good stuff safe for yellow metal.

You got yourself a right nice looking garage there, BGR. Sweet!
I wish, it's my buddy's auto shop, Magnolia Auto Service. He does a lot of good work for me.

I mounted two of my new ndt tires on the front and broke down one more wheel. Replaced a return spring that had broken on the throttle return.
Hello my friends! It's Dipstick. I hope some of you remember me. I sold Brutus several months ago. As I am rapidly approaching 71 years of age, I felt I was no longer able to maintain Brutus the right way. That along with rust and my constantly dwindling financial status also took they're toll. I now drive a 2012 Jeep JK, which is remarkably similar to driving a Deuce! It feels like I'm driving a mini-Deuce. I love it. I hope everyone is doing well!!!
