I won a deuce starter at Cherry Point, NC 28533 that I am waiting for the EUC to clear on. I was hoping that someone might be heading over there soon that might be able to pick it up and hold it for me.

Today I was sick (cough cough) from work for the morning to try and get caught up on some things. One being driving next door to check out some the vehicles I am thinking of bidding on. Anyways the winch truck had dead batteries, so I jumped off my CUCV to get her running. I did the usual...

I saved a 5 gallon can of old typewriter oil from disposal, and I am wondering what it is and if I can burn it. It is a very refined oil as it is very clear, it feels like a very light oil, and it does not have a strong smell to it. Like most old can it does not say much of anything on the...

Does anyone know of any companies that are selling multifuel oil filter bolts new or used? Preferably used. I have not been able to find anyone that is carrying them. Anyone have a stash of them?

I finally got in my camera, so I figured I would post some pics of the filter bases I have been working on for a while. These use the 51970XE wix filter which is a 5 micron filter. Currently these only fix the filtration problem with the stock oil system on the deuce. These do not have a one...

I am hoping to get a set of M105 trailer sides and bows up to Citizensoldier up in Northern Michigan. I am in Virginia.

I was wondering if anyone is going to attend Aberdeen from Texas, or if anyone is visiting the Virginia area? I have some items I am thinking of purchasing that I would need transportation for. Aren't there some websites that you can post a load to have delivered, and people private and...

I am actually using aviation headsets, but I doubt it maters if the headsets are military or not when dealing with storage. I am wondering what you guys do to hang your headsets when not in use? Looking for suggestions for the Deuce or M1009. I have been looking at some hard hooks, but am a...

I am looking for a good source of an aluminum 6061-T6 or similar disc. About 8" diameter by about 2-1/2" to 3" long. I am looking to try to make a centrifuge bowl for filtering fuel oils. Unfortunately I have come to the realization that I can't afford the ones out there like the ones made by...

I just noticed in the last few day that Government Liquidation has been erasing listings after 24 hours. If you are a GL watcher you probably know that they have in the past removed the auction master lists thus limiting access to the individual auctions. If you knew how to look, or need to...

I won this from the local GL for I guess $70 once fees and taxes are added up. It has been left open for some time as you can tell from the rust. Has anyone out there dealt with one that was left out to the weather in terms of rebuilding it? I figure if worse comes to worse I might get some...

The other day in the mess tent existence of metal M105 bows came up, so I figured I would take some pics of the varying types that I have in my mountains of sides and bows. The fist pics shows the corner with the metal corner and wood center. The center bow is an all metal with a one piece...

I have never been able to remove the square drain plug that you are supposed to drain the remaining oil from the cans from. I have tried to get it with the 7/16" box wrench suggested, but it just won't cut it. I can't find any other regular tools that can fit it there to get the job done. I...

I have often wondered about how or if things change as far as the need of CDLs and antique plates if you go from one state to another. For instance in Virginia there is no restriction on having a load in the bed, but from what I have heard from others in Maryland you can't. I expect there are...

I just put the pieces together on these "glow plug saver system" that Alfa Heaven is listing on the CUCVs it sells. First read this excellent thread that review a AH purchase, and it comes up toward the end...

No that this auction is closed I thought I would point this auction out to everyone. I saw this truck months ago when I was purchasing my deuce, and was impressed with how clean it was. I would say it is almost new. Apparently others saw this too...

I have noticed that my M1009 does not always want to start easily when it is cold, but this morning it would not start at all. According to the forecast is was supposed to be 25-30 degrees this morning. After multiple attempts to get her started I decided to give it a tiny squirt of ether from...

I changed my fuel filter the other day on my M1009, and since that I did that my charging gauge is not working at all. The CUCV runs fine otherwise. In the process of bleeding the filter out by myself the drain line came lose and I managed to soak the rear passenger corner of the engine...

In response to interested, and my close proximity to the two lots of new CUCV starters at Norfolk, Va. I am going to be trying to put together a group buy here for everyone. Otherwise we will have buy these one at a time on ebay for MUCH more. This conversation started with this thread...

I am trying to figure out why my headlights are not working on my M1009. All the regular service lights work like normal. The blackout switch on the right it up. I have checked all the fuses on the panel under the dash and they are ok. I have voltage at the 30amp fuse. No voltage to the...
