The prices for M66 rings are all over the place as is condition and completeness. I know of one person that said he only paid $500.00 for everything, which is very low, but that was two years ago. The most expensive I've heard anyone pay was $7K and I don't know what it included or the...

Ditto on the show. We had a great time! Some really nice vehicles. I especially enjoyed the machine shop. What a find! I am extremely envious. I didn't get a picture of squirt-truck with his really nice 5-ton, but I did get a picture of Jimma with his Deuce and his 2nd place tropny. I only got...

The biggest problem I have seen on the A3 tires losing air has been the grommets. I have never had a CTIS wheel cylinder leak, not the tubing. The large wheel o-ring hasn't leaked either. Like previously, the grommets are dry rotted and/or loose due to a loose nut. I happen to like the CTIS...

Two more photos from above.

I finally finished mounting my M66 gun ring on my M35A3. I did it by myself which was very difficult and not advised. Also I ran into some difficulties. Installing a gun ring on an A3 is more difficult than an A2 because of the exhaust stack. Also, the cutouts in the cab reinforcement plate...

I blew a tire on my M35A3 during the recovery from Fort McCoy in January. The tires looked perfect from the outside. Perhaps I had the same issue.

I haven't heard from anyone. Too bad, there are a lot of MVs in North Georgia and the bigger the convoy, the better. But, I think there will be a very large turnout at the show.

I agree. A butt weld would likely crack from being weak.

Are they portable? I don't have a radio in either of my Deuces.

Mine is mounted on an M116A2 trailer. I have previouosly powered the house with the geothermal heat pump running, both ovens on, refrigerator running, air compressor running and a lot of lights on. I forced the refrigerator and heat pump to run to test the output. The meter showed it was...

I have now sorted out the leg length, but discovered a new problem. The cutouts on the cab reinforcement plate do not line up with the threaded ends of the U-bolts so I cannot get a socket on them. The plate was installed by AM General during the rebuild. I also noticed in the manual (Marine...

After a massive storm came through Hiawassee, Georgia today, the house has been running on my MEP-003a. Trees are down on the power lines so we are likely to have no power from Blue Ridge Mountain EMC anytime soon. We have guests, so it is good that we have the generator. Fired right up...

Thanks guys. Now I need to find some pipe to extend the two rear legs.

The A2 and A3 are identical. I would appreciate it if you can measure them for me. Thanks!

I picked up an M66 ring mount at the Georgia Rally two years ago and just now got around to installing it on my M35A3. I sandblasted the three legs and primed and painted them. Then I discovered I had a problem. I should have measured the legs before I started, but they looked like they were...

Don't forget to replace the rubber grommets under the valve stem! Also, they need to be torqued to 45-60 Lb-ft. I find that they are more likely to leak than the wheel o-rings, probably because when touched, they disturb the seal.

For those that want to join the convoy from Hiawassee, we're going to line up in the Ingles parking lot at 0800. The Ingles is right in the middle of town - easy to find. I believe we have three deuces, with a possibility of a fourth. I'll be towing my M149A2. Anyone wanting to join the...

Sorry to hear about the transmission problems in your A3. Although my transmission is working fine, I'm starting to get nervous.

I ran into a guy in Golden Valley, Minnesota with an A3 a few weeks ago that paid $17K for his A3 WO/W from a private party. He got it a couple of years ago and it was VERY rough and rusty. I didn't have the heart to tell him he got taken. At least he was happy with it because it ran good.

Every type of oil listed in the previous posts is excellent oil. I don't think the particular brand is nearly as important as making sure it is good oil with the correct specs for the application. Good oil doesn't necessarily mean a higher price either.
