    winch/pto problems? help!

    If you are referring to the clutch lever on the winch proper (not the PTO lever on the cab floor), it should move 3" or so. If the drum is turning, the plunger lock is disengaging but you still might want to take a 3/4" wrench and pull whole the lock assembly out of the side of the gearbox...

    Parting out an M353 3-1/2 ton generator trailer

    The trailer may be sold whole after doing the Curly Shuffle with the tires. I'll post back in a few days, one way or the other. Lance

    Parting out an M353 3-1/2 ton generator trailer

    A while back I bought an M353 generator trailer to get the XLs off it for one of my M105s. The tail lights are spoken for, too. The front leveling legs with the wheels under them are missing. The air tank is badly dented. The rest of it is there. In the next few days I'll be pulling the...

    looking for a tongue for a m1061 5Ton trailor

    If you read the TM for the trailer and the TBs on field mods, it was made in a hodge-podge of variants without particular benefit of model number changes. While the intent was that each model had specific features the TM makes it pretty clear that a lot of mix-n-match changes were made for...

    Newbie here wanting to buy a Deuce . Have questions

    Your post has my head spinning. You've got about 20 minutes of conversation and rolled up in it. I think $3K for the listing you shared is probably high. He states that he drove it for "at least an hour". So what? He had to get it home somehow. He hasn't offered any guarantee or told you...

    Bid Collusion, Group Buys, etc

    I agree. One challenge I feel we need to keep in our brain cells is that email is unpredictable, permanent and uncontrollable. There is no nuance or body language to guide us and darn little contextual framework. There is no "off the record" email. Right up until my retirement from the Army...

    Insurance for deuce

    Your biggest challenge with the insurance companies is going to be your age. The insurance companies usually will not write classic/antique/collector insurance (whatever they call it) for folks under 25. Most will not allow any operator under age 25. That probably limits you (your parents)...

    Got me a M116A1 Pioneer Trailer this weekend

    The box dimensions are 48" W, 96" L, 36" H. Subtract the thickness of the sheet metal and the square tube frame for the interior. There is a floor to ceiling center divider that supports the roof and side doors while allowing more wall space for tool stowage. It is right in the center of the...

    My first CUCV M1009

    Don't touch the vacuum modulator without changing out the rubber vacuum lines first. More than likely, you'll be creating a problem, not fixing one. Check the fluid level, too. The lines get porous with age. Finding a leak in a vacuum or suction line is far harder than finding one in a...

    Yes you can camp there. Look here for info http://www.wacbgmvt.org/ecr/ and search for "aberdeen"" and you'll find the thread on spaces. I don't know if there are any SS spaces left. Lance

    Blackout / service light switch leave on or off?

    Yes, all the switch does is pass power to the circuit. Leave it in "service drive" and forget it. Lance

    M 109 A 3 Engine question

    I have a tow bar you could borrow. I live in Sennett, NY, about 10 minutes from Exit 40 (Weedsport-Auburn) of I-90. It would cost you about an hour and 20 minutes to detour here and get back to I-81. I will be picking up badgeboy16's MKT in a week or so. If you PM me the lot numbers...

    New trucks, what do you think?

    Yup, they both have heat and air shift. I can't see the turbo on either one. Good looking trucks, good luck. Lance
