I had the opposite results last week. I e-mailed the gov liquidations and they told me that they weren't sure if the site would allow me to review before EUC approval. So of course I called the DRMO directly, I had an old base phone book from when I was stationed at the base. Anyway I played...
Can anybody help get a duece picked up from Fairchild AFB and delivered to the airport in Missoula. The way the economy is I thought I'd give someone here a chance to make a few bucks rather than pay the shipping companies. If I can't get anyone here I'll go and pick it up myself.
Other than Diesel type fuels what other kinds of fuel can be used in these engines? Can you use a 50/50 mix of Diesel fuel and Jet oil without affecting performance or harming the engine? We discard alot of used jet oil that has less than 50 hours on it so I was thinking about cutting fuel costs.
frank1669,
I know I'm way behind on this but how did the deal work out for you? Where in northern Idaho are you located? I live south of Missoula. I restored an A-2 and have an A-1 torn down so I know alittle about these vehicles.
Can someone tell me if the front winch on the standard duece is the same as the front winch on the wrecker duece? Is there a specific overhaul manual for the winch itself or is it in the duece maintenance manuals?
It's an m151-a1 engine that looks like it was buried in a barn for a long time. Your best bet is to get the right engine for your project. The amount of time and money to get that thing running and installed will be far more than getting the right engine and rebuilding it. I've seen crate motor...
When you wrote sanitized do you mean it is totally sand blasted and naked? You mention blue paint under the camo and knowing this is an ex USAF jeep will help alittle. Do you have any idea as to the year or how to go about getting in the ballpark? Most will agree that the horn is the most...
In the TM9-2320-218-20-1-1, page 3-63 there is an illustration for a Simpson TDS-2. I found a TDS-3 and was wondering if anyone knew the difference between the two models. Can I use this newer model on a mutt?
Why do you want to install ROPS on an A-2? I can understand if it was an A-1 for that extra sense of safety. Just don't make any radical manuvers when driving and you'll be fine, especially in an A-2. Just my .2 cents.
The Ford A-1's had BUDD tags that are attached to the top center area of the firewall. On A-2's there is a tag on the body to the left of the transmission tunnel. Easiest way to find it, is to sit in the drivers seat and reach down by your right leg. However, these numbers don't match the serial...
AIE1, checkout this website www.g838.org we are 151 specific. Join and ask your question there. Great folks always willing to help out a mutt owner. The resource page also has downloadable manuals but not the one you seek.
Ed,
How you doing? The A-2 is still pieces just waiting for me to get time to paint it. Where are you going to store this thing? If he didn't give you an asking price I would start with the actual scrap value and go from there. Cash talks and these are hard times for most people because of the...
I would also like to get one of these after reading up on it. What's everyones opinion of the one that is listed at the Idaho motor pool? Do you guys think the price is in line?
Mike,
There is another website that is dedicated to M-37 vehicles. www.g741.org real easy to become a member and it has a registration area for your truck. Check it out.
