    Blown Engine M35a2c

    Multifuels tend to have a lot of gremlins. They never were the long lasting-heavy duty engines that the military had hoped.

    Do you need help?

    Just read. GL is NOT a customer friendly organization. You will be notified if you win within 24 hours and they take your money THEN. They will want a bunch of paperwork. Have your DL or voter registration card copied and ready to fax in. DO NOT FAX YOUR EUC OR OTHER PAPERWORK AFTER CLOSING...

    Does anyone have pics of how to flip the rear hubs on a deuce?

    It is easy to understand, just hard to do. Pull the axle, take the axle nuts off, take the hub off, separate the axle hub and brake hub, screw the bud nuts on about 10 threads worth, press or pound then out, press or pound them back in from the reverse direction, reassemble.

    Need help buying a M35A2

    The multifuel is not particularly suited to making a lot more power. Boost the turbo pressure and turn up the fuel and you will easily blow the thing up. A five ton with a 250 Cummins is much better to hotrod.

    lifting my bobbed deuce.

    At a minimum you will be looking at fabbing up something to move the steering gear box.

    It took a Deuce.....

    My son lives in his MIL's house on postage stamp lot. The kids literally have to place to play so they LOVE coming to Mimi and Poppy's house and running until their little legs are too tired to carry them. They like riding in the back of Poppy's big truck, too. You can bet that one of the...

    resister for the volt meter.

    Read carefully. If you put them all in like the old one,(parallel) you did it WRONG. Take out the old one, and put the three in series (terminal, resistor, resistor, resistor, terminal). If you can't get them to fit, go to online and find an electronic parts distributor and get a 300 ohm...

    resister for the volt meter.

    Did you put the resistors in series (terminal, resistor, resistor, resistor, terminal in a chain) or did you put them in parallel (all three between the same two terminals)? If you did the former, you did it right and the total resistance will be about 300 ohms. If you did the latter, you did...

    What did I see?

    Between Nashville and Memphis last week I saw four big green vehicles on the backs of low boys. They looked like a bigger version of the 4 wheel drive construction site forklifts as pictured below. The big difference is that instead of forks on the end, it had some sort of very large device on...

    What to look for at auction preview

    Start here: Steel Soldiers :: Military Vehicles Supersite TM 9 2320-209-xxxx and so on. Look for manuals that specifically say 2 1/2 ton or M44. You'll find more later.

    Why are these not for sale on GL

    Not true. Most equipment that was GIVEN to foreign countries can never be sold back in the US. This was done because the US taxpayer paid for it once when it was made and then it was given outright to foreign countries. It was thought that those foreign countries shouldn't be selling something...

    Deuce Bob almost done!

    I think I had to lengthen it about 8 or 9 inches. I just measured from center to center of the drive shaft and the drive shaft guy made it a couple of inches shorter than that so that it would have travel either way.

    Deuce Bob almost done!

    Just got to install the PTO and change a seal in the winch. Specs: 1972 AM General. Started as a dropside (anyone need a dropside bed? Cheap!). Stock non-whistler engine. Frame shortened 38". Suspension and bed and partial frame (to raise the rear end 5") from an M105A2. That plasma...

    Is it the same wiper as on the deuce?

    Recovery problems.

    I have refused trucks on the basis that the true condition of the truck was not revealed.

    Crooked Steering Wheel

    Look for bent components in the steering linkage, too.

    Recovery problems.

    You can simply refuse the truck on the grounds of a dead engine.
