OK, I got my M353 today and am starting the process to get a title. (No SF97 Bill of sale etc. It was found in a field and I saved it). I **know** the VIN is stamped somewhere on the frame..... Any idea where? here are some pics.....

Headed to Ponchatoula from Effie tomorrow (01-06-10) to Timntrucks to (finally) pick up my M353. Gonna bring my boy as he is out of school. Planning on a 0700ish start, easy ride down Highway 1 and over to Tims. Will post pics. Finally got the temperature issue settled, new batteries, fresh...

Waaay back in June of '08, I pasted this thread: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/trailers/22030-found-sitting-side-road.html Anyway, I'm passing the same place yesterday and was looking at the trailer when I glanced to my left and saw the beauty posted below. Yes I stopped. Yes I took pics. The...

I had to change my transmission on the deuce and threatened to write this.... How to change a transmission. First, let me say I am not a mechanic by trade. I am mechanically inclined, but by no means do I do this for a living. This is the way I did it, and I'm sure there are a million others...

I know we have TM's available, but they were written for GI's who have access and training to all the tools and gear they need. Could we have a "shade tree" section here on the site? As members work on their vehicles, we could write a thread about the steps we took, shortcuts we found (for...

I don't care how many times you do it, one of the most nerve wracking experiences is that moment when the nose just keeps going up and up! Loaded George yesterday to take to my buddy JB's shop where we are in the process of diagnosing and repairing the transmission issues (no overdrive and a...

Was driving down the road at a steady 48 mph, heard a clashing sound, then OD was gone. All other gears work fine, the shifter goes into OD no problem, it's just not there. Ideas?

In May of '08, you may remember that DLawbrey had helped me fix the bearings on my deuce on the side of the road in the rain...... One of the caveats about that was it was supposed to be a temporary fix until I got the deuce home...... Fast forward to May '09...... The same bearings fail...

To Frodo and Littlebob. Thank you both for your help yesterday while I was scrounging for part numbers! All part of the reason Steel Soldiers works! Thanks guys!

OK, ya'll I am needing more parts. Right now I am looking for a line on a cam drive power steering pump set ups for the Cummins 250. I need 5 of them and I understand this isn't going to be something a new Cummins dealer will have. If anyone can help me or point me in the right direction...

I'm working on behalf of a man who owns a fleet of military vehicles (mainly 5 tons) and he uses them daily commercially. He has tasked me to find him a list of suppliers for the various parts he needs. I am looking at the usual, Saturn etc, but if we can finds an individual who is willing to...

A buddy of mine in the ANG gave me this the other day. It was in a parking garage in N.O. during the time shortly after Katrina. Bear with me. Having to convert video

Went to the "Riders Of The Storm" Motorcycle Rally this weekend. I was fortunatre as it was only 15 minutes from the house. Loaded the deuce, got to the site, set up camp and went back and got my bike. I was enjoying my 2nd cold beverage of the day when a man walked up and asked if I could help...

This just occured to me.... what are the numbers stenciled on the inner, lower door panel on the deuce?

This has not been spercifically addressed yet, so I figured I would throw it out. Hydraulic safety is a huge concern with M/V's. Besides the obvious hazards of losing brakes to leaks, many of the vehicles have hydraulic rams and actuators on them. Properly isolating the various components...

Deuce Injury- **UPDATED** Many of you have read the thread about my neighbor Mr. Guillory's deuce. He saw mine, had to have one then spent 10 days sanding by hand, painting and restoring his deuce to a jewel. Here are links to the threads...

Took the family to Cotile Lake recreation area about 50 miles from the house. The Deuce purred like a kitten (ok, a really BIG kitten) the whole way. Got there and the gate guy tried to figure out how to classify it. Camper, RV or what.... We ended up calling it a 13k lb. tent. Spent the...

I have been working on a new electronic digital camo system for my deuce. I almost have all the bugs worked out, but am having an issue with vibration interfering with the field generator. It seems to go away after a while, but I would prefer it to not happen at all..... The transition should be...

We have a **lot** of new members lately and I know everyone tries to keep safety in mind. A lot of new members are pretty safety aware as far as the obvious: "Don't get under the vehicle while it's runnin", "Check your brakes", "Check your lugs before driving" etc. I was searching for...

I live about 20 miles from Camp Beauregard, la. If anyone needs assistance there, feel free to PM me. I can come up, help recover, run for parts, point you in the right direction or in a worst case scenario, offer some square footage for you to park your OD in a safe place until you can come get...
