    Looking for heater advice!

    Are you trying to find a deuce on GL or buying from a private party? There are a lot of deuces around with heaters. When I picked up my first A2 a few years ago at Ft Indiantown Gap, PA, there were about 50 deuces on the lot. As I remember, I think everyone had a hot water heater installed...

    Thoughts on removing A-frame drawbar on M101 A2

    Ditto on a lot of work. I would leave the tongue alone, keep the surge brakes and either change to a rotating lunette or even easier, use a rotating pintle on the receiver. You can get an offset for the pintle hook to make your 101 pull relatively level. Saves a lot of work and won't bind ...

    Official 2011 SS Ga Rally Info thread

    This probably won't help you out because of the size, but I can get you MS27684-8 milspec drums that are painted semigloss OD. These are new, open-top drums including the top and ring. The downside is that they are 12-gallon, not 55, so I doubt you can use them. Also, I would need to have...

    Official 2011 SS Ga Rally Info thread

    Carnac, you need to convince Jewell to come on down Thursday afternoon. I know he's tied up Friday afternoon and the weekend, but he could spend Thursday night. I offered him a free bunk in one of the cabins. I'm not sure if he's gotten his Deuce brakes fixed yet or not. Will you need a...

    Fuel pump going bad?

    I agree 100% with what has already been said. Air is getting into your line and fuel is draining back. This would also be a good time to change out all three fuel filters for PM. If your filters are gunked up, I would also drain and clean the tank and lines.

    M35A3 Idle adjustment

    :ditto: My A3 has a very low idle speed, but it idles smooth as silk. When I want a faster idle speed, I simply pull out the throttle a little. There is no reason a 3116 engine should idle rough, unless something is wrong. I would check filters, fuel and try cleaning the injectors with...

    Deuce VS Civil vehicles

    I would rather drive one of my deuces because that means I am not working and having fun instead. Or if I am working, it's work I want to do and am using the deuce to help with the work. I have both an A2 and and A3 and I drive them both a lot, normally several times per week, but not nearly...

    Official 2011 SS Ga Rally Info thread

    I finally got my A3 hub and CTIS back together today so I'll be drving it to the rally. I took it on a 25 mile checkout drive and had no problems, so I should be good to go. I had my A2 ready as a backup just in case. I planned on having the A3 looking better, but I ended up spending all my...

    M35A3 Wheel Valve Kits

    I'm a firm believer in proper PM, but I also believe in 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it'. If your system is working fine, I wouldn't touch it.

    M35A3 Wheel Valve Kits

    I finally broke down and dismantled a defective wheel valve I've had. I never found any kits to rebuild the wheel valve. However, after dismantlement, I discovered that the wheel valves are very simple. I simply took it apart, cleaned everything with gasoline, washed the parts with hot soapy...

    Cooling question...

    I would first check to see that the lower radiator hose is not collapsing under suction. The coolant is sucked from the bottom of the radiator by the pump and expelled back into the upper part of the radiator if the thermostat is opened. If the lower hose is not collapsing, the next thing to...

    If there is need for a larger generator, I can bring my trailer mounted MEP-003A generator. Plenty of power, but VERY noisy.

    2011 Ga Rally t-shirt poll/order thread

    I previously ordered 3 Large shirts but didn't specify long or short sleeve. If not too late, I would like to specify two short sleeve and one long sleeve, all large size.

    I may be able to get my hands on some credential holders if you are interested. What size are they and how many holders do you think you would need?

    So are you saying no one makes a 3/4 ton WC gas tank?

    I would also look in Europe. Try posting on http://hmvf.co.uk and ask for advice. There was a lot of American vehicles left in Europe from WWII and a lot of people are restoring them. Also, if you can find a sample, you can get almost anything duplicated.

    Not wanting to start

    Ditto on changing out all three fuel filters. If the WMO in the tank is not really clean, drain the tank, flush the tank and lines and fill with new clean diesel before clogging up your new filters.

    Looks very good! What about putting complete names in addition in smaller font at the bottom, except for people that don't want it?
