    Unreadable Stickers need help

    I now remember a sticker on the rear near the pintle that warned about the pinch point.

    M149A2 Recovery From Camp Lejeune

    I didn't see a date on the tank. The date of 11/2000 is on the dataplate on the chassis and the dataplate looks old. Where would the tank date be located?

    manifold heater vs. ether start

    I drove a Deuce in the Army about 40 years ago. They all had manifold heaters. I now have a Deuce with ether. Ether works much better in my opinion, but others may disagree.

    Georgia Mountain Fair Parade - Hiawassee, GA

    I just found out that the U.S. Army got credit for my Deuce in the parade! I didn't hear it, but apparently the local radio station and cable TV informed everyone that my Deuce was actually from the Army. Maybe it was my OD MVPA shirt I was wearing!

    Tell me your issues

    I keep having to sign back in repeatedly. I can try to post something and if it takes more than a few minutes, I have to sign back in to make the post. Very irritating.

    Unreadable Stickers need help

    I have seen a sticker on the back of some deuces warning about securing the pintle hitch, but I can't remember the exact wording.

    Need Parts for M149A2

    Anybody parting out an M149A2? I need two manual dispensing water valves, P/N 261G. These are the ones that go in the side boxes.

    Freeze plug Woes

    The easiest thing to do is pop the old freeze plug out and take it to NAPA or another parts house and get them to match it.

    Atlanta people, with MV cargo trailers

    In Georgia you won't apply for a title for the trailer. You will register is as a military trailer using the model of the trailer. You will also need the manufacturer's name and year of manufacture. The 'paid in full' invoice from GL will work or if you purchased it from an individual, a...

    Check your battery cables!!!

    Are you sure the old batteries are charged? It sounds like it might be the starter relay clicking.

    MEP-003 & External Fuel Tank

    I have an MEP-003A and it came with the aux fuel line and fitting for a 5-gallon GI fuel can or for a 55-gallon drum. There is no provision for a return. I have never attached the aux line and tried it, but I think I'll hook it up and see how it works. I looked in TM 5-6115-585-12 and found the...

    auto logoff??

    I have exactly the same issue. Often, I am signed off while writing a post if it is longer than a few lines. I am always having to sign back in. Checking the remember me box didn't seem to make any difference.

    Aircraft batteries

    I ran into a guy one time a year or so ago that had acquired several large Ni-Cad aircraft batteries which he was using to store power from a wind turbine and solar panels. He told me he got them in Canada from some supply house that sold used aircraft parts. I do remember he said that the...

    Building a J-box for your genny.

    I would highly recommend using a manual transfer switch to switch from commercial power to the generator. That way it is impossible to have a problem with feeding back up the line. Also, if you are not using the ground for your house back to the generator, you will need to ground the...

    My first MEP-003 start

    I would suspect that you still have some air in the lines. Make certain that you bleed the fuel system and remove all air. The fact that it ran for ~10 seconds or so would indicate to me that the IP is working and the fuel pump as well. With new filters, clean tank and new fuel you have...

    Finally got a deuce!!

    Nice looking Deuce, congratulations! Do you have the VIN number and the registration number? The last two digits on the registration number are the year of manufacture. It is likely that your registration number is stenciled on the inside of the door panels. You can also find the VIN and...

    Left the ACC switch on, no room for running start.

    Ditto on what Doghead said - he is dead on. As Doghead mentioned, do not try to start the Deuce - only charge the batteries one at a time with the jumper cables. I have a suggestion on how to prevent leaving the ACC switch on by accident. Get in the habit of turning the ACC switch, heater...

    MEP-003 Max AC Size?

    I have an MEP-003A and I love it. I have 400-amp service in my house and I purchased a 400-amp four pole manual transfer switch manufactured by Square D on e-pay, new in the box. For heat and cooling I have a 5 Ton WaterFurnace EnoVision geothermal ground loop heat pump with a de-superheater for...
