    Any Maryland members around?

    Here is a really cool informational link for the M35. Some neat facts. M35 2½ ton cargo truck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Any Maryland members around?

    One other interesting note for Maryland members. I have heard many discussions about not needing to display plates on these trucks registered as historic since they did not have registration plates originally issued to them as long as you keep the historic plates in the truck cab. This is not...

    Any Maryland members around?

    Class B is not required, the deuce weighs in at 13,500 lbs. depending on winch etc. and is rated to carry 10,000 lbs of cargo over roads making it under 26,000 lbs GVW. Anything up to 26,000 lbs you can drive on a class C (non-commercial) license. Below is the wording for the Historic...

    Any Maryland members around?

    Mine is registered as historic ($80 p/yr in insurance with restrictions). What are you going to use it for? Farm use can register as a farm vehicle, otherwise you will have to register as a Class E truck (two or more axles) if you don't want to register as historic. If you register it as...

    Generator problems

    When mine went out I replaced it with a single wire alternator purchased from Avengeusa (Wolverine Technologies). It has worked great ever since, no issues. I'm playing with my old one now to see if I can fix it as a spare.

    Anatomy of a Deuce Generator

    I thought alternator too, since it has brushes. But says generator on the ID plate which threw me off. Generator..... alternator......... generator......... alternator.........so many choices, lol. The regulator spoken of, is that where the exciter wire goes to? And is it mounted on the...

    1/8/11 – Breakfast in Eldersburg, Maryland

    If the cans hold fluid and have a top/lid and are in relatively good shape I'll take one. Bring to breakfast and I'll hit you up then. I'm just looking to fill the hole for looks and maybe hold some water in the event someone overheats.

    Anatomy of a Deuce Generator

    Thanks everyone for the replies, especially SteelandCanvas for the research and part info. I just ordered the part from Mauser Electronics ($4.69). If replacing this part makes this a working generator I will be very happy. :-P

    Anatomy of a Deuce Generator

    Not sure what caused it to burn out. Looked like the end or interior degraded and the end cap worked its way off stretching the wire, however what would cause that I don't know unless it was faulty craftsmanship on initial install and they just soldred it poorly pulling on the end causing it to...

    Anatomy of a Deuce Generator

    Google is a wonderful tool. Says it's a 50W resistor. Cost, about $10.00. Now that would be pretty good if I fixed this gem of a generator for $10.00 :-o

    Anatomy of a Deuce Generator

    Last year my generator crapped out and I replaced it with one of the Wolverine Technology single wire alternators from Avengeusa which has been working great ever since. Figured I would take the old one apart and fool around with it to see what makes these things tick and maybe even repair it...

    12/11/10 -- Breakfast in Eldersburg, Maryland

    Great to see new faces and meet others in the hobby and nice to be able to put faces with avatars/screen names. Had a great time! I think M816Someday is gonna post a pic of the trucks in the lot. If this thing keeps growing would be nice to convoy somewhere like Aberdeen or Antietam to hit...

    M/C cap gasket

    Is there supposed to be a gasket or O-ring there? I'm not sure if mine has one or not now that you mention that. Doesn't it just have thread sealant on it?

    Brake questions

    I priced it at NAPA, and yes WOW. $26 a quart. I just replaced all of my brakes and wheel cylinders. The fluid that came out was yellow like yours. The fluid I put back in was purple. I mixed some of the two together in a jar just to be safe and they mix, do not separate and are the...

    More Rear Axle Seal Questions

    Are you going to replace the inner seal?

    Help New to the Deuce world, Can't get front axle to lock in?

    It's probably a sprag transfer which has no levers. It locks automatically when the rear wheels/drive shaft starts spinning faster than the front wheels/drive shaft at which time it is supposed to engage automatically. Do a search for "sprag" and you will get all kinds of good info on this...
