I posted a classified ad for a 14.5R20 tire wanted to buy a few days ago and it disappeared for some reason.

That is one great idea! I don't know if anyone else has done that, but I haven't seen it before.

You are doing some fantastic work on that carrier. I loved your pictures. It looks like you will be working on Universal Carriers for a while having two of them. I'm very jealous. Those are very neat vehicles.

Very nice pictures! Welcome to Steel Soldiers and good luck with your project. Sure you don't just want to restore it and keep it?

I am very jealous! Good luck with the projects.

Welcome from the Blue Ridge Mountains of NE Georgia!

:ditto: This would be a dead short and if you hook it up this way, there is a strong likelihood that batteries would explode! Don't try this!

Often you can go into a parts store with a large hose selection and find a very similar hose just by comparison. Can you see any numbers on the existing hoses? The hoses are undoubtedly made by a hose manufacturer. With the CAGE number and any other numbers on the hose, you might be able to...

I agree - you have air in the lines. Follow the TM on bleeding as the order you bleed is important When you bleed the brakes be very careful to not let the MC run dry as it doesn't hold much. I would recommend putting together a power bleeder as it will make the job MUCH easier. As...

Welcome to Steel Soldiers! You'll find a lot of good information here. I love the M37. They were just in the process of phasing them out and replacing them with the M715 when I was in the Army.

When I drove deuces in the Army in 1970-71 we were told only to use MOGAS when we had to and to dilute it with diesel if possible due to wear on the IP. They get terrible mileage on gas and have a noticeable lack of power. Also hard to start. I never put gas in mine unless it is mixed with...

I have one of each, a 1969 Kaiser Jeep W/W and a 1998 A3 W/W. They are different vehicles. I prefer the A2, because it has a manual transmission, is multifuel and much easier to start. Parts are also much more common. I also drove A1s and A2s in the Army years ago so I'have a history with...

Most states will issue a temporary tag to bring it home. This would be issued by your home state. The state the truck is located in will do nothing to help you. I have picked up two deuces and driven them home to Georgia, one located in PA and the other in WI. In both cases, although I had...

I just found out that although GM says that Dexron VI is backwards compatible with all ATF applications requiring a previoous version of Dexron, Allison apparently says that Dexron may not be compatible with some seals in older Allison transmissions and that if TranSynd is not available, an ATF...

I just measured the width of my M149A2. The width from outside of studs is 81-1/2 and the width from outside of bottom of tire bulge is 78 inches. Do you need the length? When I recovered my water buffalo, I pulled it home with my F-150 without problems. I used a pintle hitch with a...

Everytime I look at the photos, it's worse! Popacom is right - a barfing smileyface is desperately needed!

I would contact Caterpillar and ask them.

Thanks very much for the help. $25.00 was dontated. Any idea as to why the rear axle tags had dates of 1/23/98 and 1/26/98? I'm wondering if the truck was manufactured early in 98 but still counted in the 1997 tally. With such low miles, it's hard to believe the rear axles were changed out...

Welcome to Steel Soldiers and congratulations on getting your Deuce. Make sure to post pictures when you pick it up. Download the TMs and read the Operators Manual thoroughly if you haven't driven a deuce before.
