    Stewart & Stevenson (M1082?) LMTV Cargo Trailer

    It has a mismatched wheel as one is tan & the other is black as it should be. The pictures don't show in the bed, so it is not known if it has a cover or the frame that holds it. Another bidder won it so the OP is not in the dog house over this auction result. If GSA auctions have all the fees...

    Found a source for Dot 5 brake fluid

    My package was delivered yesterday, so it was ordered on Wednesday & received on Friday all intact & packed in ziplock bags as required by the carriers. Great score for me and anyone else that needed it with a little bit of savings thrown in to boot!

    Stewart & Stevenson (M1082?) LMTV Cargo Trailer

    I bought one several years ago for $600.00 & can tow it around with my LMTV or either of my Deuces. Since it has a 700 tongue weight, nothing else here can attach to it or even move it. It is a great storage trailer if you have the cover & frame for it, but your wife would be very unhappy if you...

    Where is the best deal on DOT 5 brake fluid these days?

    Try Matswarehousedeals.com for bottles of Dot 5 brake fluid in 11 ounce containers @ $2.50 ea for 4 or more. I just bought a gallon of Dot 5 fluid for $42.00 including shipping. If we try, I'll bet we will buy out their stock quickly with this little gem of info from another member here who...

    Found a source for Dot 5 brake fluid

    Nope! It was not all their stock as I chanced an order for 12 bottles & it was accepted without a problem. Shipping was $12.00 & the entire order was only $42.0 for a gallon of Dot 5 brake fluid. My second Deuce needs her brakes bled, so this fluid will get me thru that job without breaking the...

    Increasing the air intake in a deuce

    My school was bigger than a 3 room, but I did spend a larger than normal time in the Principals office as she was my great Aunt. Unfortunately for me, it was not always a friendly visit for me.

    Newbie here looking at a 1970 M35A2 have some questions

    I bought a 1987 Deuce back in 2014 for 6K, but it ran great, was newly painted by the military before being sold, drove 450 miles home with no problems, only had 9k miles on it & has 5k miles put on it by me. It was a high price @ the time, but the truck is a dual brake system & has been a great...

    What is this truck worth?

    Gov Planet is just getting way too much for that vehicle along with alot of other stuff. After taxes & fees, that price is plain & simply insane!

    Can’t get this to start…FIXED!!!

    Wild horses couldn't have stopped me from giving her a spin to she if she would catch & run. The only thing wrong with that is the engine running away & you don't have someone there with a wooden plate to cover the intake to smother her IN CASE that happens. Mine ran starting then & still...

    Can’t get this to start…FIXED!!!

    The delivery valve is what kicked my butt on the last non runner Deuce I bought. Went thru everything, but it still wouldn't start. Removed the delivery valve, spring & cleaned the seat & off she went.

    Integrated Battery Chargers

    I had one of the original Noco 24v battery charger that burned up after about 4 years of usage. To replace it, I got the 2600 (?) unit that suppies 7.5 amps @ 24v & it works great. The solarizers will be replaced when they go bad, since the two I had gotten new only cost $30.00 each NIB. The...

    Recommendation for 802a battery maintainer

    For years, I had to keep up monthly charging to my trucks & generators to make sure they will always start. Last month, I checked the solarizer that came on the Deuce & it was no longer working as the ledge on the mobile shop was covering the solar cell from direct sunlight. After changing the...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    If any of you guys have an LMTV or an MTV that has or had a vinyl storage container that came with the truck, mounted behind the passengers seat to the roof, over the radio mount;, I found a replacement cheap. They were $30.00 & now marked down to $13.50 & the two I got were brand new, never...

    FL Looking at getting a M35A2 very soon, who would be a good insurance company for it and is it really a pain to get them registered in florida?

    I use State Farm & pay south of $100.00 every 6 months. The tag is south of $150.00 per year, so its affordable. This is for one Deuce! I am not happy enough with the LMTV's road worthy ness to put insurance on it yet!
