Hey guys,
I'm needing a few examples of the track pads for the M99A2 or the M109A6. New, used, whatever I can get my hands on.
I intend to send samples to StarPoint Extrusions for mold production. I spoke briefly with the owner of StarPoint today. He is highly competent in the area of...
Hey guys,
According to the schematic, the deuce trailer plug pin "K" has 24 volt aux power whenever the main switch is on. The current is supplied by a dedicated "aux power circuit breaker" via circuit #37 to the trailer plug.
Can someone confirm this, and does anyone know what the circuit...
I'm prolly a bit slow on the uptake, given this vid and song have been out for 20 years, but does anyone out there have an ID for the MV in this Republica video?
I'm not to savvy, but here's a glimpse of what I saw. The entire video has brief shots of the vehicle as a back drop, but the video...
I am not having any luck with the search terms "3 point hitch" so I'd thought I'd ask y'all.
Has anyone hung a 3 point hitch on the rear of their deuce or do you have photos of the same to share?
I realize that front mounted 3 point hitches have been done..... that's not what I'm hoping to...
Hey guys, is there a experienced and trusted member or company in the Atlanta or Wisconsin areas that knows the HET and can perform a pre-inspection for me? I'll be pleased as pink to pay a reasonable fee for this service, as it will save me airfare and rent-a-car costs.
I also am seeking load...
I noticed that J.P.'s upload of the TM 9-2320-272-10 has a possible error(s) in the tabulated data.
His version has unusual table headings (Feet/Meter) and measurement data on page 64/836 where the approach and departure angles are listed. In the older (2004) version, the angles are expressed...
Last week I upgraded from Windows 8.0 to 8.1 and all was well until an hour ago.
While I was navigating the "New Posts" search results, the font size suddenly shrank to half size! I can now display twice the posts at half the size! Except that everything is so small it's hard to read anything...
I want to make sure this community knows Bikesdestroy sold me a truck and trailer for a fair price AND delivered it to me on his dime. In addition he gifted me an excellent paper copy of the trailer TM, some spare parts and a tow bar.
I took a substantial risk in purchasing a truck sight...
Anybody know where in the TM's I can find info and diagrams for the transfer case PTO linkage?
I have browsed the TM 9-2320-209-20-3 and saw info adjustments on the transmission unit linkages, but nothing on the transfer unit. TM 9-2520-2 covers both PTO units, but leaves out info on linkages...
Guys, I'm looking for some ideas about how to fit hydraulics to the deuce for a variety of purposes: knuckleboom, dump bed, rear winch, log splitter, chain saws, you name it.
I have a hard top deuce with front mounted PTO winch. I recently purchased a transfer case PTO for operating a pump...
Hi all,
I have a winch truck that I am considering installing a knuckle boom on, behind the cab. This past week I have been searching and reading threads about people adding hydraulic operations to the deuce, mainly for operating a dump bed.
Given what I have read about the outcomes of using...
Guys is there a definitive list of trailers compatible with the deuce, meaning the trailers that have the correct pintle height, are under 6k lbs gross and have braking systems that function with the air over hydraulic brakes?
The reason I ask is I recently purchased a flatbed trailer thinking...
I just bought a M1061 trailer (Ebay auction!!!) and am seeking a source for a pair of tires and rims.
The trailer is in Pittsburgh PA and I am located on the opposite end of the state in Cochecton, NY, right on the Delaware river. Any leads or recommendations for obtaining used wheel...
Is there a company like Catepillar or another equipment supplier that makes complete tracks or sections that fit the M113?
I am seeking resources and appreciate any assistance.
Thank you,
Rick

I have not yet encountered a flatbed trailer that utilizes deuce rims and 9:00x20 NDT tires.
Something tells me the 6,000 lb towing capacity of the deuce limits the trailer choices to the M105 cargo and genset trailers.
Have I missed something? If you have any ideas, shout them out.
Fitting...
I have been researching various threads on SS regarding filtering WMO and have not found consensus.
I know the answer depends on oil temps, system design and types of filters you are pushing through, but for those of you with gauges on your filters, please answer me these questions:
What...
Gotta M105 trailer that needs to be removed from Fort Meade by the end of March. Any hauling or storage assistance is appreciated.
I have flexibility in the destination, as I have family in the following places: NYC, NY Catskills or Buzzards Bay, MA, your pick.
If you are available to assist...
What did I do?
The "Thanks" icon was on all the thread contributions earlier this AM, but now all I see are the edit, quotation and quick reply functions.

3 questions:
What is the NSN of the M172A1?
What other Mil trailers could be used to haul a deuce?
Any advise on if the Mil trailers have any advantage over civvy trailers, when it comes to hauling a 13k deuce? (cost, performance, cool factor)
Thanks to all,
Rick
