When I have a tube type tire that is leaking, I never patch it. I always replace the tube with a new one. Most of the tubes in these trucks and trailers are many years old and have dry rotten. The labor is such a pain that in my mind replacing the tube is worth the small expense.

In the summer yes, IMHO.

I understand that the CTIS control system is designed to default to the 'off' position upon total failure. Since the CTIS control system operation is not mandatory to operate the truck, it really doesn't make sense to harden it against EMP. The CAT 3116 engine has a mechanical fuel injection...

If the 55 gallon drums are unopened, I'd try to sell them. If they are opened, you may have difficulty selling them for aero use.

That is first class work! Looks like a new radio!

I would not recommend using AeroShell 500 turbine oil in a Deuce, or any other piston engine for that matter. The viscosity is quite low and in addition it is absolutely not compatible with mineral oils. I have attached a specification sheet from Shell on turbine engine oils. Pay particular...

Welcome to Steel Soldiers. You aren't too far from me so if you would like to drive a Deuce, send me a PM. I have both an M35A2 and an A3.

I went with State Farm for my Deuces. Progressive was a couple of dollars less expensive. However, my Progressive quote was not for an agricultural vehicle. Make sure the description is correct. You don't want to get in an accident and have Progressive refuse to cover you because the...

That sounds good. We can all touch base right before the show to make some plans. North Georgia now has a growing population of Deuces. It will be good for some of us to get together and talk.

Welcome to Steel Soldiers. Nice looking engine. I would recommend moving this to the Auxilliary Equipment forum.

Either stainless screws or clean and repaint the original screws.

I would drain and clean the tank and replace all three fuel filters.

You need to look at the truck. Until you look it over, everything is basically a guess. You may find that it is in good shape, aside from fuel. It it's been sitting that long, all three fuel filters and draining the tank are a must. You will definitely need two new 6TL batteries. Sounds...

Go with the M105A2.

That sounds great! I'm only two miles off U.S. 76 about 10 miles before you get to Hiawassee. If you have time you could stop by and I can show you my MV junk.

I think I've gotten lazy in my old age. I pay the local truck shop $25.00 to do the work, including mounting and dismounting on the truck.

Red primer used on the military vehicles is often call 'Red Lead' because of the red-colored lead tetroxide. It had superior rust-proofing qualities.

Let me know and maybe we can convoy over together.

I agree. If you want a trailer to pull behind a pickup, even a larger one, I would recommend getting an M101A2. M105A2s are great trailers behind a Deuce.

Sorry, I was asking about Jimma's Dad, who has a Deuce.
