Finally dug out the welder/generator and was able to get pics. Gasoline powered Wisconsin engine, came out of a contact maintenance truck being scrapped. Will bring to the GA Rally only if presold, asking $1000 OBO. Pics below. Popacom was interested in this a year ago, don't know about now.
350 miles a day in a deuce is plenty of driving! Bring lots of water, you will be thirsty! Going over the bridge in Memphis is a bear anywhere near rush hour, morning or evening, plan accordingly. The road between Memphis and Birmingham is slated to become part of the interstate system when...
I converted one of mine into a sanitary center (think SINKS) and I know the Texas Lighthouse Charities converted one into a bunkhouse with bathroom (I slept in it while there for the Texas Frogfest back in May) Theirs has two roof mounted A/C units. Sorry, no pics, maybe Pitmaster T can get us...
Have three complete 16 x 16 frame tents in CANVAS, NOT vinyl with the metal frames. $800 each and I will only bring to the rally if presold. Canvas has some small tears (less than 1 foot long) and holes, but a 3 x 3 foot piece of canvas for use in repairs will be included. Last I looked the...
PM ferro, he has my M116 taking an MEP002 off of it. He should be able to take measurements that will get you very close! I know it's not done yet because he has two other high priority projects - Bella and Peck's welder/generator - to finish up with first.
Complete NOS replacement deuce master cylinders are available from several people here on steelsoldiers for under $75, shipped. The major vendors have rebuild kits. The hardest part of doing work on the master cylinder is removing and re-installing the two frame side bolts that hold it in...
Fuel gauges are made from ground up politicians, they lie all the time! Get a yardstick that you can dip into the tank. Full is within two inches of the top and empty is three inches from the bottom (to allow the pump to pickup the fuel). Check every 100 miles and you will get a good feel for...
Get your money back from the person who sold it to you. Misrepresentation on their part, since the SF-97 is not in their name and thus there is no title. SF-97 is a government form to OBTAIN a title on former government vehicles, not a title in and of itself.
35 Scepter fuel cans, about new condition. $50 for one, 2 or 3 at a time $45 each, four or more at a time $40 each. At the Rally or local pickup before (if you think fuel prices are headed back up). Can also deliver gratis to the VA Rally over Labor Day weekend for the same prices.
I'm about to do this myself. However the body will be sitting on the M116 bed by way of a nine inch spacer (also known as a piece of a scrapped deuce frame). And the electric welder will not be in it, which will help on the tongue weight. Ferro has to get the MEP002 off the trailer, and I...
Original M35 had a gasser engine
M35A1 had the LD-427 or LDT-427
M35A2 had the LD-465 naturally aspirated or the LDT-465 (C or D turbo, C whistles, D produces more power by a little bit - more of a luck of the draw as to which)
5 ton series had the LDS-465, with about 50 more HP and more...
I know someone who has cable on a reel with that type of plug on it. He was going to throw it out till I told him someone would probably purchase it at the GA Rally. He drove one of my trucks to the rally last year and wants to come again this year.
