    Shipping a M35A2 from Indiana to Wyoming

    Actually all you need to do is just get a 5 ton and a tow bar, and then when you get there your Deuce will have someone to talk to . It's a well known fact that they don't like to be alone .

    Any modified parking brake

    I was just thinking of that and I would have to concur, my old Deuce is a 63 Studebaker and the spare cable I have is out of a 68 Kaiser . That old truck is not around anymore to compare to or see what type of handle it had, but when it comes to these Deuces it's often NOT a one size fits all...

    Any modified parking brake

    I do believe that those cables are still available, however something you need to be aware of is getting the correct cable . I have a used one off of another Deuce I used to have, and it will not fit my current deuce . The outside sheath is the same but the internal cable is shorter and I...

    Any modified parking brake

    What you are doing is incredibly dangerous, but I do not believe that you know why or how so I'm going to attempt to paint a picture for you here . The brake wheel cylinders are absolutely the weakest part of a Deuce, or any air over hydraulic brake system for that matter, they have a higher...

    Any modified parking brake

    I replaced my parking brake shoes when I had my water tank off which makes it about a thousand times easier, it's not overly complicated, two brake shoes a drum and a cable to actuate . I got new shoe fiber from Big Mikes motor pool about 5 or 6 years ago, if you get just the fiber like I did...

    Growling from front passenger hub

    Maybe Jack it up and start turning things to see exactly where the noise is coming from, it's more than likely just a wolverine or a honey badger stuck in your wheel .

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I pulled this old 53-ft trailer out of some blackberry bushes for a guy, took him fit longer to figure out where to put it than it did for me to get it out and move it .

    Can I run 12 volt LED's from a single battery on my MEP802?

    If they are actually LED lights they should have zero problem with 24 volts .

    A2 low air pressure?

    Sounds like you're compressor is no longer compressing, or that control valve isn't as good as it appears to be . Maybe the Rings are stuck, get a little bit of ATF or Marvel Mystery Oil down in there without hydraulicing it and see if you can get things to loosen up or if starts to make air...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I bought two pair of these led for 64 bucks (4 lights total) put them in my old pickups, work great . Before that I bought different looking ones and put them in my Deuce and 5 ton years ago, they still work great I would never go back, cheapest ones I could find, they're all made in China ...

    New member here in Hawaii, soon to be back on the mainland

    Welcome You live on Maui and you still have a house ? Reason I ask is because the news over here on the mainland shows pretty much the entire island of Maui burned to the ground, with the exception of Oprah and Bill Gates houses, they got saved through some miracle along with some other rich...

    M37 but not an M37?

    Well if they are Dana axles and they still have the tag bolted to the cover it has a long number on it called the bom number that will give you detailed information from Dana and will break down every part in the axle including years used . If the tags are missing there's also the same number...

    Transport M35A2

    Well, you just bought a 6x6, so what's the big deal, buy another one that's big enough to tow that one and when you get home they can hang out together and become friends and when you come outise in the morning you will have more choices . 😊 🇺🇸

    Transport M35A2

    ... "IF" you had a military tow bar, you could just pull it home with something capable, one of the better investments I've made personally .

    Must Have's for New Deuce?

    Make sure your brakes work good . Possibly convert to disc ( pretty easy) which eliminates the wheel cylinders that are the major cause of brake failures . Make sure your E-brake/parking brake work properly as this will save your ass in the event of a hydraulic failure . I have seen videos on...
