Make sure that when your putting the cannister back on the NEW FULLY SEATED seal that you DO NOT let the cannister rotate as your tightening up the bottom bolt, if it moves even a little it can move the gasket enough to leak, dont feel bad I had to learn this the hard way to! Good luck KK

That is a mighty sweet looking Deuce you got there, and you really did this in 5 days? WOW and truly I thought I worked fast, truck looks great and doing the work your self sure gives one a feeling of true satisfaction! Great luck and nice work! KK

Derrick that port in the cab looks awesome but my goal is to use an incomplete non-firing M2 and I just got the cab top and dont have the heart to cut a hole in it! I got the complete mount wiht reinforcing plates from a friend who got a truck from GL and it had everything on it, I am heading...

Helo folksI was wondering if you could give me an assist please, I am looking for the TM # that will cover the installation of a machine gun turrent for the 939 series of 5 ton trucks, I have found the maintenance of the turrent kit but cannot find the TM that covers the initial installation of...

Hey guys this thread was mighty interesting, I just purchased a LWS for my 925 and have been having a hard time finding the corresponding TM pertaining to the actual installation, I found the TMs for maintaining it but not installing it do any of you know the TM# that has this info? Also my...

I have been a Deuce owner for a long time and got 5 ton fever about 6 months ago, Like Glen said if your afraid DO NOT DRIVE IT or you WILL buy one!! Since I got my 925 I have already sold one of my Deuces and I love my Deuces, the 925 is Really hard to beat! Buy it and take my word for it you...

That is a very interesting looking vehicle, and I DO mean that in a good way, I have never owned anything other than US built MVs but this one of yours is sure a neat looking one and it looks to be in very nice shape, Congrats sure looks like a keeper! KK

I have a 71 M-35A2 with an LDT and I average 10.4 running straight #2 diesel. KK

If I remember correctly the TMs torque spec for the buds and the 11/2 outer nuts is around 400 ft pounds depending on what you haul this may or may not be necessary, I never haul anything in my deuce over say 3000 pounds, I may take some heat for saying this but I have never tightened mine over...

I took the cargo cover off and all the bows then took the spare out of the bed and the carpet (in for parade duty) then I lifted my brand newly repainted S-280 como shelter and installed it into the bed of the Deuce, now the camper conversion will continue and all parade duty now falls to the...

Today I found out how NOT to go for a small amount of paint! I am painting an S280 for the bed of my Deuce and wanted the color to match my Deuce, today I went over and picked up the paint, I have to add the hardener just before I spray it, its a PPG paint and it was just under 200.00 per...

Devildoc you have a lot of prep before you go to get this truck! What if you really like it and buy it, do you know how to drive it? Unless you know the guy selling it personally I would not trust his word saying it ready to go, you need to be able to check the required items yourself so YOU...

You know guys if I am not mistaken Memphis Equipment makes a kit to convert all the A3 wheel bearings over to the A2 type, when I heard about this the first thing I thought was WHY would anybody be concerned about that? Then I found out the prices for the inner bearings on the A3, thank...

I have bought many can of OD green camoflage paint by rustoleum I get it at Fleet Farm the color is a very flat OD Green, it does very little to get rid of rust BUT if your surface is clean and prepped (no oils etc) it wears very nicely, they also have it available in a flat black! KK

Duffman the Pinz can be a little challenging to find and even harder to find them at a price that is within reason, First place I would look is the Pinz section of this site, I was looking for a 712 for a while and found a Swiss Army one if FL but the guy would not budge on the price, and he had...

Congrats on the truck and it seems to be coming along nicely, my first MV was a 52 M-37 it still had the delivery papers on the glove box to Fort Leonard Wood. I bought it from a small fire Dept in ND for 600.00, it looked great, virtually no rust what so ever, I put two batteries into it and...

WOW the guys either not the brightest star in the sky or he has a lot larger private parts than me??? KK

My first MV purchase was 20 yrs ago it was a really nice M-37 that a out of town Fire dept had, I bought that because it was so very cool! Next came a Deuce that I totally restored, then came another Deuce with an S-280 to make into a camping vehicle and last came a 900 series 5 ton which I...
