    Will help retrieve son's M35 in SC today

    Well, my son's deuce is now listed in the classifieds for sale section...he is willing to trade it for a good running Jeep (Wranger) also.

    winch and shear pins, ugh!!!

    Agree 100%. Use the snatch block(s) whenever possible and take your time. The hook/chain portion supplied with the 5-tonner winch is the same as the one for the deuce winch and is a reminder to use the snatch block.

    tearing apart my goat!

    Do you have NSN numbers for the seat covers? Would 2540-045-7948 be a good number?

    Hiab on a Mog

    Don't believe that it's an HIAB, but looks small and perhaps ideal for the Mog, leaving some load capacity.

    tearing apart my goat!

    Read about it here: Steel Soldiers :: Military Vehicles Supersite Pardon the spam, Mike has blocked my access to the section, so I can not maintain it any longer (he is supposed to make some big changes, but the years move right along).

    Are you looking at the power steering reservoir? Value? From $100 and up.

    Arctic heater HELP Please!!!!

    Can you be more specific...I may have the part, also which model heater? Okay, found your previous post, I'll see if I can find an extra overheat switch. Edit: Found one. The contact is normally closed, so if you want to test the heater without it, simply short out the connection. Let me know...

    Clearance/Fog Lights on a Deuce?

    Make your own. A muffler shop can easily do the pipe portion, an angle aluminum cross piece will support any light you'd like.

    winch level wind on a deuce?

    If you feed the winch with the wire rope within about 10 degrees or so of straight on, a level winder shouldn't be needed anyhow. My 5-ton (m656/xm757 series) doesn't have one since it's mounted upside down and none was specifically made for it. Never seen one for the deuce winch...

    how hot does your deuce get

    On a long downhill run, the temp could drop as much as 40°F and I therefore decided to use a "permanent" radiator cover as seen below. It also gets the temp up when using the crane at standstill. Pictures show a hard run up the mountain (keep in mind that my deuce w/hiab weighs about 17,000 lb...

    multifuel cab heater question

    With the info from the image below, you should be able to put together your own cable. The point to point wiring is shown in the second image (same for all versions and note drawing error, which I have found in all diagrams in all TMs. The "HI" is not energized during the "START" operation)...

    Manifold Heater Problems

    Here are a few images. The light fixture on the dash is grounded to the dash (not shown in the dwg). For more, see "The multifuel flame heater", MVM Issue #99, October 2003.

    Manifold Heater Problems

    The flame heater parts can be tested individually or together. The nozzle must atomize the fuel in a funnel like pattern, test by installing it in a clear plastic bottle and observe the spray. The igniter produces a continues spark for as long as the switch is turned on. The cable sheathing is...

    Thanks are due...

    Yes, thanks Brandon for handling the transportation part of the m105-for-chains deal for makincold (Tim) and myself! Glad you worked out the wheel problem for him also.

    No start- Bad control box?

    No complaints AFAIK, Chris (steelsoldiers) is the person to ask, he installed it on his M925.

    WVO Blending

    There are chemicals that will lower the viscosity of VO/WVO, I'm told, but don't think it's working much below 20°F and it probably isn't cost effective. Your best bet is to have a dual tank system, actually dual everything all the way to the IP, since "flushing" still won't clean your filters...

    Flame heater check valve

    If you don't need the heater system, just plug the lines... PM sent.
