    Inherited deuce, looking for some help with identification

    Our Sincere condolences. We found the toro-flow manuals somewhere so I'll ask the young bucks for a link if your engine turns out to be the 478. Here's the toroflow in our bus. We keep recording devices close by because they have a reputation for running away. Beautiful combination of a...

    M135 S and M Build

    I do not know....."the measurement of the M35A2 jackshaft center of ujoint to center of ujoint? " I do know there's a guy that,,,essentially, could provide a "Cummins Kit" and instructions for a round nosed early deuce upgrade. That's cool and you've nailed some serious milestones. Most guys...

    Possible new M51 owner!

    When I got the TM's for the M135 we could see rubber and steel lines laying in cradle channels above the diffs. The channels hold dirt so the lines can rot out quick. We just plan on replacing every piece of a brake system unless it's been done within the last year. It's the only way I know it's...

    Possible new M51 owner!

    lol.....three years is nothing......Wait until you say...."I'm just going to swap a bigger motor into it". Ten years will click by before we open our first beer together. The trouble is the 995 days we lost along the way. All good brother, that truck still looks great.

    M220 AirPak rebuild.

    I bought some used air paks off these fellas years ago. They were very professional and quick to deliver. I asked for air paks for the old deuce and I'm anticipating I wasn't clear when I said M135. They sent me longs instead of shorts but it gave me parts. I don't know their status now but be...

    G749 preservation

    The conditions were interesting at the G749 farm when the tank and pump off Piglet finally got bought, loaded and gone. If you are bothered by insects, look away. The mosquitos weren't constantly this bad. When the wind came up a few would blow off your back. You can just see Piglet in the...

    Runaway!

    Is this a poll? Sorry you had to go through it but if nobody gets hurt it's just experience so you're good. The poor guy that was operating my 3 yr old S330 monster bobcat sure got a scare sitting right in front of a Bobcat engine that ran away on him....while I stood next to it. Our screamer...

    oA little ferret story

    You're welcome. I get to hear the Rolls Royce once in a while so I'm kinda fond of them. Quiet on the outside, noisy on the inside. It almost looks like 591 is on the right and for certain 590 is on the left so 589 can't be far behind. The fellas over at this private site provide the education...

    oA little ferret story

    That is an education museum piece, just beautiful. Locking the story down in writing is important. Do you have any videos of it running? I was looking through pictures and came close to your numbers but haven't found them yet. Here are a few historical pictures thanks to A.S. D.C. and D.M...

    Going to other Countries with an ex-milatary vehicle?

    In 2012, an MV fleet showed up in Canada from all over the continent, Texas, Florida.....and a few other places. We followed them to Dawson Creek where they departed on the MVPA ALCAN tour of Alaska. Here are a few videos of folks making the difficult trip north, look easy. The toys and wheel...

    Going to other Countries with an ex-milatary vehicle?

    We're all good up in Quebec now. It was ridiculous for a while but once the voices in the choir started singing and didn't stop, MV's became more than welcome. Come North, Canada keeps the trucks running cooler. Adding screens over the radiators to keep the mosquitos from pluggin' them up...

    """"""another Milwaukee tool """""" Milwaukee tool co will be happy once you're done. I'd write them a letter with a link to your thread and get them to sponsor tools to you with advertising on your youtube channel. John Deere gives the millennial farmer tractors and toys so it wouldn't hurt...

    G749 preservation

    It's MV fibre, More Vegetables.....and five different flavours of potatoes. Red, white, yukon gold, purple and a funky strawberry interior unit. It's crazy watching this old Ferguson drag these big disks around. The brother wasn't watching the plow on the way back to the barn and it...

    G749 preservation

    This will put some youth in your step. If this ole' girl can climb hills, you still can. The new Duramax M211 owner hadn't driven the deuce before so I let him try it out. You facebook kids can hear a young Duramax run in an old 1955 GMC 6x6 M211CDN right here...

    Former M220 shop van?

    I just noticed something under the cab..........Is that a second heater? That's a second heater under the cab just like mine!........I gotta see that dash. If the control box is still in there you have a rare gem with two gas heaters. You must be in north north north Alaska. The fender heater is...

    Former M220 shop van?

    That's a fantastic first post Early Deuce photo and a big welcome to Steel Soldiers. Pictures are always helpful and we need to do some digging on the M220. There's a number on the front passenger frame rail next to the shock mount, hiding behind the passenger tire. It should match the data...

    MV illegal on highway in Canada (Quebec)

    It's smelling like roses in here. There are more details to come but essentially the restrictions have been lifted and Transportation Quebec is turning the clock back a year. Engineers, MV collectors and government will get it together and continue to find a simpler way to bring the MV hobby to...

    Extend My Membership

    Is there anything new with paying memberships since this January post? My calendar says I owe some doe so if things are automated or simply simple, I could catch on and pay some dues. Besides, it's time for a membership drive and some thoughts on how we move forward, onward and up.

    M135 S and M Build

    Think? You mean critical thinking right? I think the A minor chord goes nice with F major and if we add 2 more chords, like G and C, we have a 4 chord song. It's simple, the path of least resistance and since I only have 480 minutes in a day for thinking, it's the quickest think I have. Here's...
