    m43 abulance question

    A neighbor has an M43 parked in my yard. It's a '53 with rust damage and the original engine. Some parts have been removed, including the cylinder head, but are loose inside.... According to some tags, it was used as a computer van of sorts.... I think he would be happy if he got $1,000 for it...

    Fuel-burning heater problems

    Eric, do you have a wiring diagram? If not, get me you email address and I'll send you one. The "B" wire goes to the "Restriction" solenoid and opens to max fuel ("HI") when energized. With no power to it, it is in "LO" mode and closed, so fuel is only supplied by the "S" solenoid needle valve...

    Diesel heater vs. coolant heater

    If you want instant heat, the diesel fired unit is the way to go. It's a complete system in itself and you need to familiarize yourself with it to really appreciate it. Many posts in the past.....the multifuel engine won't be putting out much heat at idle, so the wait for warm air could be a...

    Military Fire Extinguishers and their refilling...

    I have seen reference to "CFBr" in an old PS magazine, is that equivalent to "Halon"? (Could Google it but it may shed some light on things here)

    m35a2 Fuel Fiter

    AZdeuce, the primary fuel filter is also a water separator, that's why it has the extra housing. I would recommend that you get the element from Memphis Equipment, it costs more, but can be cleaned and reused and also fits perfectly, the NAPA version has a different center hole and the...

    Deuce Starter Solenoid Specs

    The starter relay should be rated 50 amps. It may look like this without an enclosure.

    Radio install help

    Don't know how much is included in your "Command set", but a standard MT1029 radio mount and the MX7777 fit nicely under the companion seat. The VIC-1 system is seen behind the seats. The antenna mount is just visible in the upper left part of the image.

    Why the Deuce Doesn't Have These I'll Never Know!

    Locking diffs may require special skills and precautions to prevent damage when used. Snow chains don't and are very good in mud and snow, sometimes better than lockers...... I have driven the deuce in deep snow and in mud and the chains will give you unbelievable traction.

    Fuel Pump Failure Analysis

    Yes, I would say so, but only after a thorough going over and a bench test (no taking apart), since external electrical connections often seem to be an issue.

    Winch Shear Pins

    :-) I know Mark, you are practical to the Nth degree, but that takes all the fun out of it, IMHO. These kind of discussions often lead to new things.

    Winch Shear Pins

    The shear pin determines the level of safety, not the strength of the winch. This was mostly covered in previous posts, but my search now ends with a "404" msg.... There are also many PS magazine notes, also no longer available. The link in this search result is now a dead end. "I did post...

    Doghead, I'm aware of the image res problem and noted the patent number so that you can go get it yourself in original resolution......

    What exactly are you missing, is the trailer connector present and accounted for? White knuckle driving is no fun......
