I bought an M200A1 Trailer Chassis and i am wondering what parts are interchangable from one chassis to another. I need tail lights which i think are standard tail lights like what my deuce has, need the harness to plug into my truck, need the brake master cylinder and booster, need air lines...
I have had an idle issue with my deuce ever since i got it. i have researched posts a lot trying to figure out what is going on. another member on here had the similiar issue i have with mine and he said it was his throttle stop plate. This is the little pendilium looking thing that swings with...
I have about 20 gallons of WMO (filtered to 5 microns) and 30 gallons of diesel in my tank. My filters are all new spin on. The other day i started it up, let it run for about 5 minutes at 1000rpm then went over to my nieghbors house about 300 yards away. i had it idling in his driveway and it...
Well I got my WMO system in production last night. still need to make brackets to mount the filters on the drum, but thats just a cosmetic thing more than anything. i have 4 filtering stages, where first stage is a 60 mesh pickup screen then a (using Zinga filters) SE-25, then SE-10, then an...
This is just a shout out to see if anybody wants to drive their MV in the Binghamton Saint Patricks Parade this Saturday, 3-5-2011. It starts at 1:30, but i will be there a little before 1:00. Im going to drive my Deuce, M35A2 W/W. If anybody wants to join in, let me know and we can meet up...
Ok, so these are more rare of the deuces and i just had a couple questions about them.
For the M108, why is it when i look in the -10, there is not one thing about the M108. I know they didnt make any, but still.... or am i just blind and didnt see it? it would be intresting to look up the...
Would it be a good idea or bad idea to drill the rear hub and install a grease fitting so you can grease the wheel bearings without taking it fully apart? My idea is to drill and tap (maybe 1/8NPT and between the two bearing races) the rear hub so a grease fitting could be in installed and...
Well it all started out as Dad and I looking at a Deuce that my dads friend told us about that was forsale. We went to look at it not knowing what it was or how much he wanted for it. I had no intentions of buying another deuce. We looked it over and gave his wife my number. It was a decent...
My Temperature Gauge has been sticking a little bit lately. by sticking i mean when i am driving and the temperature gets up to 200 or a little over (because i have the winter cover on and like the engine to get good and toasty for complete combustion) and then i let it idle to cool down the...
My 1972 AM General M35A2 does not have grease fittings for the pintle hook. I looked in the TM and see that there are supposed to have grease fittings. I also heard the later Deuces did not have grease fittings on the pintle hooks. What is the reason for this if it is true? As many grease...
I was going to pull my injectors and have them cleaned and pop tested. I heard this can do wonders on a diesel if they are out of spec or dirty. Does anybody have a Bosch part number (or any other manufacturer) for the copper gasket and maybe the upper seal also? It would be nice to have the...
I have 2 flame heater ignition units and both do not work. One of the ignition units buzzes but no spark comes out of it. you can feel a little voltage if i touched my hand to the spark plug wire though. The second Ignition unit does not work at all. These two ignition units are different that...
I looked in the TMs and could not find a location for the vent on the front winch. Seems to me like each side of the winch would have one.
Also what holes do you check the oil from? i think i found one on one of the sides, but not the other
I have searched quite a bit about the FDC and got some good information. The problem i see with my deuce is sometimes it runs sluggish and sometimes it runs really good even when uncle sam bypassed the FDC. I have not touched any settings on the IP or FDC at all. I have been driving it quite a...
I feel i have reached a milestone with the Deuce. On my way home from work yesterday. I brought my first Deuce home on my birthday (April 11th) and the odometer turned 30,868 miles. That means i put 3000 miles on the truck since April! :-) It seems like i've been everywhere and done so much with...
So i have been doing some thinking about building some kind of setup to go under the passanger seat in my M35A2 to filter WMO and dump it straight into the tank. here is my thoughts. get a 1/4hp 24VDC motor and belt that to a power steering pump. i would get the power steering pump from the...
The starter drive in my deuce needed a starter drive since i got it. once and a while it would grind, so i had it rebuilt and everything looks good. My question is, how can i rotate the engine without the starter to inspect the ring gear? I know i could put it in gear and slowly crank the...
Does anybody know what this tag means? It is located on the top of the front winch plate. Does it mean the truck was rebuilt or the winch? The truck is in good shape and has a lot of new parts on it. The engine is the LD-465-1 with turbo. i beleive a date is cast on the block that says its a...
I have looked on the site for a while and havent found any pictures or a lot of information about swapping a 5.9 in a Deuce. As you guys can see, im a new guy and still learning a lot with deuces. My dad and i have built street rods and such, so i have a general idea about re-powering...
