Reference the tailgate step, fig 184 in the -34P shows the bolts going through the gate to nuts/washers, doesn't appear to be captive. Enjoying the post.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Since the steering wheel doesn't return to center you can't flat tow it and I don't have a trailer to haul behind the deuce.I wonder how well it would tow behind your deuce?
How far away is the soda blaster guy?
The day that engineers design a vehicle as much for the mechanic (doing the maintenance), as the operator (doing the driving) will be a good day.The spring is in the way, the clearances for hands and arms are limited. Fortunately, minimal corrosion meant the tube fittings were easily broken. Still, it takes a few hours for a single hose removal and replacement. Then getting all,the clamps back on takes patience.
TGI Blast Day! Drop it off this morning and they thought they'd be done by Friday. Could be we'll be seeing at least some primer on it this time next week.
Made me laugh, turnkey; that's pretty good.Only rig the engineers got right for both the driver and mech is the go cart.....In my humble opinion.
Aside from the priming fuel pump, the CUCV is pretty easy to service. And darn easy to drive. But it isn't a hardcore MV. The M35 is the king of your criteria. A pain to drive and slightly easier to work on.The day that engineers design a vehicle as much for the mechanic (doing the maintenance), as the operator (doing the driving) will be a good day.
I don't believe any vehicle has ever been designed for both.
That's a good one; funny.Well, WHEN we replace those lines...beg, borrow, buy or steal some crows foot wrenches. Even Hazard Fraught store brand will make the job easier. 3/8" drive size. One 5/8", the other 9/16". Or even 1/4" drive would work better. Not a bunch of torque, just a real PITA to access.
Already bought an almost direct replacement. Wiring is kind of hinky and not sure what they expect you to do. Almost like "stab" style wall outlets but not sure if I need to solder on a tip to the wire to stab it or what.I too had to replace trailer lights, only to snap it a few days later. I decided to repair the new one using plastic mender stuff, like epoxy only made for plastics. Works like a champ, still have a bunch if you want to try it on yours.
