    5ton vs deuce

    The Army is still using the NHC250 in the 939 series trucks. At least they were when I saw them driving M923s at Ft Polk a couple of weeks ago.

    Won my first trailer. M105A2

    Here are some Deuces that sold at auction last week for some price points. From the first page, just click on the Next Lot to view the others. I didn't see them, but it seems that condition and prices were extremely variable. You expect to pay more for a private vehicle sale, but you should...

    Won my first trailer. M105A2

    Depending on the condition of the Deuce, that could be a real good price or $2-3K high. For $6K, you could buy a F250 powerstroke with 350K miles with no AC or a similar condition vehicle. I'd rather have the Deuce if it was really nice shape. The F250 will only go down in value.

    Restoration Finished - Roll Out Today

    NICE!! Except for the wear on the tire tread, it looks like it just rolled off the line.

    Won my first trailer. M105A2

    You will also need either a set of magnetic trailer lights and gorilla tape to use on the trailer when you tow it off base, or have someone follow closely behind to signal for turns and stops since it will be a short trip. I drop the tailgate straight down and tape the magnetic lights to the...

    Thinking about buying a deuce

    A number of deuces showed up a few weeks ago on GL and GSA, so they are still available at auction, but as Doghead said, the prices are 3-5X what they were. The following recommendations still stand. I've had similar issues with the M931s and M923s I've bought lately, but at least the brakes...

    Historical find....WW1 Army 1917 machine Gun carts

    Cool! Some of the BII tools are farrier tools (horseshoer). The three nippers, small hammer and the rasps - all you need are shoes and nails. I guess the brace and bit and bald peen hammer are for cart repairs.

    Alarm Issue - Driving Me Crazy

    I have a similar issue and drove the truck over 3 hours home with the buzzer on when I picked it up from GL. After lots of searching and testing, I found if I jiggle the brake handle it stops. I'm guessing in my case it's the brake sensor, or something loose holding it in place. Haven't had a...

    M1061A1 ...Recovered

    The laundry unit setup on mine gives a gross trailer wt of over 15,000 lbs! 3-DAngus suggested it would make a very sturdy height-adjustable work table, especially if you took off the tires.

    Historical find....WW1 Army 1917 machine Gun carts

    From that period, and from the appearance of the wood, the wood used to make the crates looks like it may have come from the last of the virgin southern longleaf pine forests. Mules and oxen were used to haul the logs to small steam trains that ran on temporary wooden tracks leading to the saw...

    Info on Flying Flags on the M35's

    This is good for static and parade speed display(with the taller poles so that flag doesn't block view). Need taller/stronger pipe and much smaller size flag for highway speeds.

    5 Ton Travels Flooded West Virginia Roads

    Way to git-r-done! Don't forget to do your water fording PMs. Probably take much longer than the trip took.

    Rebuilding MY m101a2 BY harleyhouse

    I like the removable platform idea. You could set it up on the ground at the camp as a tent platform that keeps the tent off the ground but low enough you don't need a boarding ladder. It would also keep the tent away from the cooking and shower areas, and give easier access to the trailer bed.

    Wreckerman and son go to Tank Town USA

    Elmo didn't volunteer to test if the airbags would have protected the car's occupants?

    Built a LIGHTBAR for the M109

    Great workmanship! If you move the spotlight back to clear the hood, the hood will still hit the floods. You might consider use of a rubber bumper (like a leaf spring cone bumper) on the front of the bar, and use a bungee strap from the side to secure the hood upright against a wind gust.

    Modification thread for 24 volt battery for MEP-701A (MEP-016B with sound enclosure)

    If you're planning on a permanent installation, you could mount the batteries outside the ASK. I don't have a recommendation if you want to keep it portable.

    Trailers for my 5 ton M932A2

    My M105A2 trailers haul well behind it. Also the M1061 5-ton flatbed trailers (and what ever they may carry, like the laundry trailer edition). A bolster trailer, MKT kitchen trailer, M989 hemat trailer.
