Well I can now say Im part of the deuce owners club.
I traded one project for another. I traded my stalled rockcrawler project to StreetBikeDepot for a running deuce. It might not be the prettiest truck out there but I can say it ran great on the 300+ mile ride home yesterday. Only a few...
OK Ive tried searching the TM section and cant find anything. Google does me no good either. Does anyone know the TM or any shop manuals that cover this transmission? I'm looking for something that covers disassembly and assembly. Ive got 2 and I want to open them up and check them out. Both...
Ive lived in this area for 15 years now and always wanted to hike up to the top of this hill right across I-70 from Marshall Army Airfield (on Ft Riley) but never got around to doing it. So today me and my 8 year old son, Colby, went for a drive. (sadly not in a MV) The little park there has a...
I decided to install the new seat I've had sitting in storage for a few months.
Took just a little modification, just a couple of pieces of 2"x1/4" flat stock and a drill. I used the 1/4" stuff because its all I had laying around.
The highback seat is the new one.
How hard is it to stretch a frame? Ive got an idea for a project Id like to try with my truck. It will have HEMTT wheels and 16's or maybe only 14's.
sorry its a really bad photoshop (actually its done with MS paint) but its all I got and done in like 10 min.
I'm asking in the 5ton area because I think these go on a 900 series truck.
Theres a bunch of them in a lot on Ft Riley near where they rebuild the trucks.
The tall squared off roof and the cut out for a gun ring has me curious.
Is anyone going to hooks this upcoming week or has been over there lately I need some info on some stuff down there. PM me if you have any info or are going out there.
Thanks
This minimum bid stuff is stupid. I see tons of stuff I'd like to bid on and would gladly pay more than scrap prices for but not the $150 min. GL wants. Why let it go to the big scrap pile when it doesnt sell, and bring pennies when it could bring $20, $30, $40 per lot. I just dont get it?
Does anyone know what this wheel came from? Both wheels were laying in the back of the truck (M715) when I got it from the surplus auction. The one on the right looks stock but the one on the left, the lug holes have every other hole cupped the other direction. Both wheels have the same company...
First off I must say thanks to Corey (StreetBikeDepot) for all the work he put into this. He picked up my towbars from GL in OKC and strored them, He mad it possible to attatch the bars to my Jeep and inspected the truck before I came down and was there to help me get it started and roadworthy...
Does anyone have a close up pic of the single small blackout stop light on the pass. side of the rear of a M715? also is the trailer plug the same on most MV's? I got a small single blackout stop light and trailer plug off a scapped ammo trailer (free :-D). I think the trailer plug will work but...
Still waiting on the EUC, but in the mean time Im trying to gather up the stuff I need to take. StreetBikeDepot went and looked over the truck for me and sounds like I should be able to drive it home if the brakes work. Those didnt get checked specifically but there are no obvious signs that...
I'm looking for someone near OKC that can pick up my towbars (2 strapped to one pallet- 600+lbs) and store them for me till I come down to pick up my 5ton from Norman. I would like to only make one trip down to pick up my stuff.
I'm willing to pay for gas and storage fee if needed and not to...
Anyone checked out the M818's in Norman OK? I need to find out if the one I won is drivable? Sale 3973 lot 7261. I know they all said wont start or doesnt start but Ive heard lots of stories about guys driving trucks away when listed that way. I'd like to have an idea what Im getting into when...
Its a M185a? looking at the pic, there looks like an exhaust pipe or something sticking out from under the box right above the tires. Was there a generator or some kind of heater for the box on the M185's ?
Will a S250 fit an the bed of an M715? Will it look funny? I won one of the shelters at Ft Riley today and intend to use it for storage for now but If my truck doesnt sell (I really kind of want to keep it) I'm gonna fix it up and maybe make the shelter into a small camper for me and the kids to...
Does anyone have, pr can get a pic of the front of the frame where the bumper and shackles mount? The fire dept. must have had a brush platform welded to the front and just torched it off before it went to surplus and i want to put a stock type bumper and shackles back on it.
