Thanks Tom. Actually, I was up in your neck of the woods last week and the week before in Portsmouth, Ohio. Combination of work and visiting a sick relative. You are correct, my route home will be much further west, but I appreciate the offer. I got lucky driving my A2 home ~700 miles and...

I got it for $7500.00, way more than I wanted to pay, but it appears to be extremely nice. Still has part of the plastic covering on the drivers seat from AM General. The price is dictating that either the A3 or A2 must go or I will need to find a new wife!

M35A3 Recovery at Sparta after EUC in 12 Days I won the bidding on an A3 at Sparta. Now I have a problem, albeit a somewhat good problem. My EUC issued in only 12 days and I now have minimal time to plan for my pickup. I plan on driving the A3 back to Georgia. The A3 appears to be in excellent...

A few questions first 1. What is the condition of your batteries? 2. Have you cleaned all battery terminals and checked for loose wires on alternator? 3. Will the batteries charge up with a battery charger? 4. What is the voltage output from the alternator? 5. What does the gauge read...

I just started my Deuce at +5 deg about a week ago. I gave it one shot of ether and it fired right up. When I was stationed in Germany 1970-71, I started my Deuce at -20 deg and colder. Maybe as low as -30 deg, but I can't remember exact temperatures. We normally did not have any problems...

I'm another one that swears by the MEP-003A - a fantastic genset to power the house, shop, or whatever. Not good for your needs though if you want to mount it under a truck.

I sometimes have to really hit the lever hard wth my hand or 'slam' it in and out a few times with my hand if my winch hasn't been used in a while. The more I use my winch, the better it seems to work.

I don't like to see MVs cut up or modified either.

Welcome to Steel Soldiers from a former 11D that also served in Germany, albeit 40 years ago. Our 11C guys fired four deuce mortars at that time. Time to get an MV!

The Deuce I drove in the Army (1970-71) had the small mirrors, as did all the deuces in my unit at the time. My 1969 Kaiser Jeep has the larger west coast mirrors. As stated above, they are a pain in the woods but work much better on the highway. My west coast mirror on the drivers side...

Why not have your existing 24V generator rebuilt? Problems with generators are often no more serious than cleaning or replacing brushes. I have done it myself several times and it is normally quite easy.

Not much you can do about your age, but you should have no problem getting an MV. Welcome aboard!

Is there any information printed on the old hoses? I've had good luck finding filter replacements for MVs using data printed on the filters. I've also had good luck with radiator hoses on trucks by taking them to a truck parts supply house and matching them up.

I have had heater cores replaced by radiator shops in the past, and always for a fair price.

I would replace it. You can find a cheap one very easy.

Where in Tennessee?

If you want a W/W, then by all means buy a truck with a winch. However, the most important thing is to get a good mechanically sound truck. Don't rush. You will find a good W/W deuce and be happy. When I bought my deuce, a winch was a must. I ended up buying a deuce from GL and driving it...

Your friend needs a reality check. My Deuce is very reliable. I drove deuces in the Army (multifuel and gassers) years ago and again all experience shows them to be reliable. You need to remember that these trucks are mostly 40+ years old now. Even so, they are reliable. Getting parts is...

You could narrow it down by comparing your VIN # with others, assuming they are indeed sequential. If it was me, I would trust Carnac.

Congratulatioins! Ditto on never trusting a Deuce fuel gauge - visual inspection only,
