I'm in Brooks ( 30205 ) which is about 12 miles southeast of Peachtree city. My deuce is currently undergoing some minor repairs in the barn so you can park yours behind said barn where mine normaly stays

"I have read that most of the noise comes from the engine itself" How true My current mep-003 has the sound shield ( A.S.K.) is soooo much more quieter the my last Mep-003 that did not have it

I checked mine once and with the pump on and truck not running it was 6.8psi.

It should be listed in the parts cross reference Steel Soldiers :: Military Vehicles Supersite

I don't think its a matter of grease is grease, its a matter in compatibility of mixing different grease's together

I just used Lucas HD ( green) grease on my rear wheel and spring seat bearings., Dang stuff is thick

I never tried it but some of the guys on another forum ran heavy bungie cord(s) from the brake petal to the bottom spoke of steering wheel to help "entice" the wheel to go back/stay on center while towing/turning

:ditto:

I stopped in lowes and home depot for 1/2" grade 8 lockwashers for my axle hubs, HD wanted .51cents ea and lowes .31cents ea. As mentioned went to tractor supply and grabbed a handfull of ea, 5/16",3/8" & 1/2" (3/4lb ) for just over $3

Huh I never had a problem towing my 37 :wink:

Its not much but heres something

"I built it almost 20 years ago" And its still one of the coolest looking MV conversions that I've ever seen[thumbzup]

As mentioned the wheel cyls on the m37 have a stepped bore, the larger bore/cup faces the rear of the vehicle. Front and rears are the same but you need left and right sides

Well I finally got the rear spring off the seat but in doing so the pivot is now definitly toast.,The bottom leaf looks questionable

Stretch even though the TM doesn't mention having to loosen them I did put a 3/4 drive breaker w/4' cheater on them and the dang things are stuck tight

Alright I finished up the rear brakes and seals and moved to replace the bad rear spring u-bolts and from there do the spring seat pivot bearings., Well I had to cut off the u-bolts PIA but now I can't even knock out the bolts as they are so swollen and on top of that I can't get the spring pack...

Yes we should listen to the mods BUT if any of you guys have some good pic's of desert camo or OD/tan..ish deuces I won't tell if you post them :wink:

"Still love to see a good photo if anyone can throw one in this thread before it fades away" I thought I did that already????

Gilliespie states that its paint has a synthetic base stock ( what ever that means) but its really just a alkalyd enamel ( aka indutrial paint ) the beauty of it is that its a very forgiving paint to shoot and yes you can shoot it over (prepped ) enamel/carc paint jobs
