    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I need to do mine, so any one of the 3 wires can connect to a terminal and it works? Worried about getting them in the right order.

    Charlie's Deuce Thread

    I needed to replace my wiper blades and at Carquest I found some Trico 11-1 blades that I thought would work. The carrier that attaches to the support arm has a slot in it that would slide over the metal end that the OEM blade attaches to. I used a dremel to remove a small piece of plastic on...

    Charlie's Deuce Thread

    Friday update: Both deuces I greased the bearings and installed new seals on the right rear. Test drive everything seems to be working OK. Need to look further into the brakes on the white deuce, I guess I need to pull the air chamber to see if it is stuck.

    I bleed out some brake fluid and it compressed. Put the hub back on and set the brakes. Seems to work ok.

    TRUCK M35A2 U.S AIR FORCE

    Air intake for the heater. The one is lower than normal? The other I assume if the weather is too cold, it is turned down? Surprised the AF didn't have front lockers since they operated on roads more.

    WA Hagerty comes through - again

    I just signed on with them, $207 for covering 2 M35a2's. I thought that was very reasonable.

    Anyone from up that way? 4+ hours from me but there is a M756 for sale that looks pretty complete that I want the components off of to finish mine out.

    Charlie's Deuce Thread

    Forgot to include pics. This one was clean as the hub holes were clear. This was the mucked up one. I am still trying to figure out how the brakes are working with no air pressure. Looking at the cam adjusters I turned them in to get the hub off but they are not retracting fully? I only...

    Charlie's Deuce Thread

    Monday update: Waiting on seals to come in I decided to pull in the other Deuce and replace the leaking wheel cylinder. Pulled the wheel and it was not the cylinder but the axle seal. What are the odds that both trucks right rear would leak. This one isn't as bad though. Lucky I ordered 6 seals...

    thanks, i didn't think about ebay. They are $10 for the new style ones so $11 is a deal for one that works

    I was going to soak it in my normal solution: Super clean and let it soak. Use a brush to knock off the crud. All else fails use Gasoline.

    Charlie's Deuce Thread

    Bit the bullet and pulled my right rear hub off. I was hoping for a leaking cylinder but it was the axle seal. All the grease is gone and all over the brakes now. Been leaking a while for sure. So I ordered new seals (In and out) and will spend some time cleaning things.

    I have a 2 acre lot here in Town, I do have a 20x24 workshop but the door is 16'x8' so it is too short for the Deuce. The other shed I have is full of tractors :) Been wanting to build a bigger workshop but prices for materials have jumped way up!
