    Please advise! Fuel filter replacement.

    Going to where I had the filters I just changed out, I realized the oil filters had the metal shield, not the fuel filters. However, the new oil filters I put in didn't have the metal shield. I don't know if this helps you, but I think you're ok putting the filters that don't have the shield on...

    Please advise! Fuel filter replacement.

    I believe the only filters seal against the top of the filter housing. There are gaskets on both end of the filter so it can be put in in either direction. The filters I removed had the metal housing as well, and the ones I put in did not and they fit fine. I'll try to find some photos and...

    Questions about register M35 in VA

    As a personal vehicle, you aren't required to stop at the weigh stations. I pass them all the time in Hampton and Suffolk and have never stopped (or been stopped, knock on wood). If you are plowing snow with a deuce, antique plates are out, you will need regular plates.

    Gillespie paint ratio

    What effect does changing the ratio of paint:thinner have on the final result. I'm asking because I'm painting a trailer with the same paint I used on my deuce, and I think I'm using the same ratio as before, but the color has almost no gloss to it. I did scrape the can and stirred it for quite...

    accessory switch

    Thanks, Gary, I'm going to leave this to the experts now. My day hasn't been wasted, I've learned something.

    accessory switch

    His signature line lists 3 M35A3's, so I would assume it's an A3. If it were an A2, I would think having the "B" and "C" connections on the accessory switch reversed would keep the instruments energized no matter what the switch position. I have an A2, so I cant speak to the A3 electrical...

    M105A2 cover sewing pattern

    Bruce, I'm looking into having the covers made locally. I like spending my money where I live. It may not be any cheaper than the companies you listed (although $400+ for a cab top seems pricey to me) but I've been having a hard time finding suppliers of canvas work. Thanks for the...

    Custom Tag

    good score on the plate. I'm hoping to get "M105A2" for my trailer when I register it next month.

    M105A2 cover sewing pattern

    Has anybody measured their M105A2 trailer cover and written down the measurements? I want to make a OD green canvas cover for my 1964 trailer, and think the canvas would look better than the bright green vinyl available these days. I've measured the trailer, and am looking more for how the...

    Heater Fittings

    I had to run my engine for a while to heat it up to remove the upper plug as well. I went to a local hydraulic store and spent about $20 on bulkhead fittings, hose fittings and a 90 and a 45 degree elbow. I'll post pics later tonight when I get home. I was nervous about running hoses through...

    Fuelpump wire, where do it connect in the cab/engine area?

    The fuel pump wire is labeled 654, and is powered when you turn the master switch to on. Tracing the wire from the fuel pump, it should go through a harness connector before joining with wire 27, which is the wire coming from the master switch. Do a search for deuce wiring diagram that was...

    Michael @ Richmond GL

    Picked up a M105A2 trailer today from Michael @ the Richmond DLA GL site. Very nice guy, made sure I had a copy of the invoice before I left, and let me pull the trailer off to the side to do some PMCS on the trailer (jack up and spin the wheels, grease the springs, check out the lights, air up...

    1008 Steering wobble from bump

    Check for a worn Pitman on coming off the steering box. My 98 Ram 1500 did the same thing after going over railroad tracks. Replacing the pitman arm solved the problem.

    Satellite photos of your (or other) MV's

    I can't figure out how to capture a picture of the screen. I did notice the top of my cargo cover isn't painted camo like the sides though.

    Bought A Tank

    we just got over 25' of snow here, and I was told there was HEAT in the tank, but I'm freezing my butt off. Could someone post a 8 x 10 glossy photo of the controls, with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back, describing what the pictures show? Also, I was told this tank had a magazine...

    Bought A Tank

    What are the widest tracks you can put on an M1A1 tank?

    Finally Got a deuce

    Welcome to the club, I know you'll enjoy your deuce. I wish you were closer, I'd let you drive mine to help pick up my M105A2 trailer this Friday. I don't know if you meant it, Oddshot, but the GANG pun (Georgia National Guard?) was amusing. :D
