    Georgia Mountain Fair Parade - Hiawassee, GA

    If you are ever back in the Clayton area, let me know. I actually live between Hiawassee and Clayton.

    Getting an old M725 running again

    It looks like you are living in God's Country! I would not recommend using a 12-volt starter. I would look for a used starter.

    Kennesaw Mtn GA MVPA Show and Swap Meet

    It's been on my calendar and I'll be there with my Deuce on Friday and maybe Saturday as well.

    found a deuce to buy, have questions!

    You mentioned that the winch had a failed shear pin. I would not necessarily believe that the truck you are interested in has a working winch. I would make him install a new correct aluminum shear pin and demonstrate that the winch works, before you purchase. Make sure the correct pin is...

    storing deisel fuel

    Ditto on both points. If you leave it open to the air, things start to grow, and it will plug up your fuel system very quick. From my experience, once diesel has gone bad in a vehicle it is very difficult to keep the system clean.

    Georgia Mountain Fair Parade - Hiawassee, GA

    I should have put something out on SS. I'll do it next year. The parade organizers really liked my Deuce in the parade and I know they would like more MVs.

    Suitable sub batteries for MEP003

    I used two Exide Orbital batteries. When I picked up my MEP-003A it didn't have 6TLs, it had two military Optima batteries, which were shot. All of the other MEP-003A gensets at Fort Jackson when I picked up also had Optimas installed, or at least the ones with batteries did. The Exides fit...

    Georgia Mountain Fair Parade - Hiawassee, GA

    It's double wall. The inner is stainless steel, 400 gallons. You can tell the stainless tanks by the fact that they are round. The fiberglass tanks are oval shaped. I understand that all M149A2s are stainless and that the M149A1s are fibreglass. I think the original M149s were all aluminum.

    How do you justify a Deuce to a wife/gf?

    I took the sneaky route, which back-fired. I didn't even mention wanting a Deuce to the wife. I contacted State Farm for an insurance quote for a Deuce, and asked the woman agent to not call the house. Unfortunately, as soon as I got home from work the next day, my wife had the quote written...

    Georgia Mountain Fair Parade - Hiawassee, GA

    I drove my Deuce in the Georgia Mountain Fair Parade on Saturday July 24 in Hiawassee, Georgia. The parade lasted an hour and a half and the temperature was VERY hot. Although the fair is timed with the start of the Georgia Mountain Fair, it is mostly a delayed July 4th parade. We had a great...

    ID help

    The shelter has an antenna on top and a cable reel. I believe it is some type of communication trailer - just a guess.

    m35a2 from redstone to georgia

    If they run, why not drive them? You can always move them off-site to give you more time. It's not such a long trip from Redstone to Cartersville.

    Brake issues, need input.

    You need to rebuild the master cylinder or replace it with a new one. I bought two NOS MCs on e-pay recently for a very reasonable price. Make sure you know the proper procedure for bleeding. It is not difficult.

    Saved one! 1975 M880

    Sounds like you did OK. Post some pictures.

    New to the Deuce

    At least it's in Oklahoma. However, as stated previously, $8K is a lot of money. As Heavy said above, you can get a very nice Deuce for a lot less.

    Gear lube question

    I use GL-5 in the differentials and GL-1 in the transmission and transfer case. Don't use GL-5 in the transmission because of yellow metal compatibility. Both are easily obtained.

    M149A2 Recovery From Camp Lejeune

    Actually, I might bring it to the Georgia Rally. I was planning on pulling my M105A2, but I now might bring the WB, especially if it might be of use. I'm pulling it in a parade with my M35A2 this coming Saturday in Hiawassee, Georgia. It's the Georgia Mountain Fair parade, but is really a...

    M149A2 Recovery From Camp Lejeune

    Here are the photos of the landing gear, hopefully. I'm having problems with a very low upload speed on my internet connection.
