    deuce wont start??????????.

    Bjorn, I forgot to answer regarding the button flattening. With this one I believe "k", the keepers, somehow came apart. Once that happened everything fell apart. I could not tell what made this happen. Since everything was there and looked fine, except #4 due to wear it was the only...

    deuce wont start??????????.

    Bjorn, After doing every check that was possible (w/o taking everything to pieces) the "button" was all that was left. TM 9-2910-226-34 page 2-4 Unfortunately in order to check it you have to do "some" tear down work. Even though everything was still in there and it was moving up and down as...

    New Parts Truck

    There is absolutely nothing wrong with having spare parts. If a guy ever gets more than what he thinks he can use he can always Ebay them to the rest of us........

    Question about GL bid ????

    A guy I deal with from time to time up near New Paltz, NY has a buddy on some base that pulls some slick stuff. On diesel gensets they would pull the IP and wrap it up. Then put it under the engine. Then mark it as scrap. Make sure the right people bought them and then put the IP back in...

    New Deuce

    Neg to ground on first battery, pos on first to neg on second, pos on second to starter, etc. I like to hook everything up and hook the cross cable from the first pos onto the second neg LAST. Just the way I do it. Those batteries should work. The ones I use are only I think 650-750 cca.

    New Deuce

    I use plain jane, 'el cheapo Walmart batteries. $34.99 a piece. Buy two, put them in. I use a set of 2x4s to make them sit right in the box. Never had the "correct" batteries in any of my trucks. I get 4-5 years out of the cheap ones. Never had any problems. Now people will yell about...

    Question about GL bid ????

    Here is a good example of what an H7 is. http://cgi.govliquidation.com/auction/view?id=872677 I brought it home, gave it lights. serviced all the fluids and filters, gave it new batteries. Been running, and working every since. No problems. As a side note the van body came off and a bed...

    Steering Fluid for a 5 ton

    My M52A2 has Dexron in the pump and 85w-140 in the box. I use Dexron cause I already have it for other stuff.....ATF has antifoaming agents in it and is close to 10 weight, IMHO.

    Requirements in Michigan to drive a 5 ton.

    Chuck, not to name names, lol. Yeah I do have a CDL and I, luckily, have all the endorsements to move anything except people(never had a bus to take the road test). Since the CDL came into effect, what 1991, or 2 all the states pretty much have agreeing laws. That is NOT to say they all do...

    heater

    I swear I should sell heaters. All but one of my trucks sit over winter. So they have no need for the heater. Yet every one of them has it. Never gets used.

    M35A2 PARTS

    Maybe the exception to that is if they can grab US money.

    Flat Deck Carrier Body/Platform for M812A1

    RE: Truck Bed My lastest Rock & Dirt has become "kids" property. So I don't know where it is to look at. I found the PIC. No wonder I couldn't find it on any CDs. It is a Polaroid. I just happen to see it while grabbing piles. My scanner is an all-in-one deal and my computer hates it. So...

    Flat Deck Carrier Body/Platform for M812A1

    RE: Ted I was going to post before but I wanted to find the pic. I still have not found the pic, too many cds. Then I forgot about it. However, as Kenny says above. You can put whatever on it. It is setup for putting a 20' container on. The pic I have, somewhere, this is sitting on a full...

    2nd M135 - Is this top orginal?

    What I said was that it was "close" to what's on an M35, etc. It is not the same top. And I doubt you could get it to work. Perhaps the Canadian tops were done different. I have not owned one. All mine have been U.S. trucks. They have all been(not counting the softtops)a two piece design...

    2nd M135 - Is this top orginal?

    Not an original hardtop. Or a Memphis one. Looks to be put together okay. The original, as well as the Memphis one, are a two piece design. These are very close to what an M35 has. This one looks to have been modeled using a Canadian softtop side and top frame. The original did not have a...
