I purchased my last Deuce from GP on 13 Sept 2017. EUC cleared less than two weeks later; still no title that I paid shy of $145.00 for, only to have to give it to Florida DMV(to shred), pay a penalty for over 30 days & pay another $150.00 for the transfer to me. I should pick another hobby that...

I didn't see the first weeks offering, but the second week was the one I was bidding on. It went way above what I would offer for it, we both know what, so I will leave it @ that.

That unit looks like the one that I was bidding on out of Lake Butler. If it is, glad it went to a good home.

Welcome & thank you for your service. Small farm in central Mississippi, when I was in college in my younger years, I worked for a farmer that had 4 Deuces that we hauled cut silage in the fall or corn or what ever he was harvesting. He had 6000 acres so there was lots to do. A Deuce or a 5 ton...

My first Deuce came with a solarizer on it from WRAFB, never any battery problems till a switch got left on. A buddy bought 12 units off a dealer & sold them to friends @ $30.00 each NIB, that sure beats $279.00 anyday! I installed them on the other trucks I have for worry free starting in the...

James & I went thru it; even removed the HH bolt to get fluid thru there, still no start. I removed the dead motor heater box to allow easier access to the HH removal next weekend. New viton o-rings are on the way, I just don't have a new replacement button or clip if needed, probably don't need...

Did you have a hard time welding up the holes in the top due to the rust? The reason I'm asking is that I have some significant rust on a truck I just got that has perforations thru the metal in spots in the hardtop sides.

I have both an LMTV & a couple of Deuces. My go to truck is the 87 Deuce for everything so far. The LMTV is awaiting a fellow SS member to sell/ship me a turrent cover to get the interior work completed & so on. The LMTV has acres of room in the cab & a much smoother ride, free brake fluid(Air)...

Scratches give it more character, dents show that it is tough & has been used/abused. Repaint is the only way I know to fix scratches with CARC. Washing your truck, the rains do that for free, but only on the top side. I found that the mold & mildew that grows in the paint comes off well with a...

I have been trying to get a Deuce started that was picked up off of GP last month. James offered to drive over & help me yesterday afternoon. We didn't get it started yet, but he did spend a couple of hours going thru all that I had already done. I give him great kudos for driving 3 hours just...

I couldn't find the inclinometer using any terms either, Bill set me straight & there are three left if anybody else needs one or two. I got two FYI.

You guys cleaned them out of stock for now. The early bird gets the worm!

I learned where the port was on the backside of the air cleaner housing & ran a 1" hose around the end of the engine & over to the air compressor inlet. This allows you to also run in deeper water if a snorkel is attached to the air inlet of the air cleaner. It also keeps junk out of your air...

Send it to somebody down here in Florida to use in the sun & sand, or out to Arizona for that matter; just not to me as I already have a M1081 with no turrent cover.

Thanks for all of your information over the years on the hydraulic head removal, repair & replacement. I have an 85 M35a2c that was bought from GP as a non runner. After changing out the fuel, batteries & filters, a no start problem is probably deeper in the system. The military seemed to have...

Thanks for the detailed write up, it will help others thru their issues with non running trucks. I followed your lead on the in tank fuel pump problems, but the military mechanics had pulled my tank & left the fuse block hanging after replacing the fuse. They may have replaced the pump, but I...

I picked up a Base x 203 in the crate from GL last year & winched it into the back of my deuce for camping. It is still there due to being too heavy to move around with one person. It doesn't look used & came with the inspection report that it is all there. Several years ago, I put up an...

Now that is a real recovery trip in the Great White North! Good luck & take lots of pictures. Above all, be safe!

Keep us posted on your crane when you get it home with a few pictures & descriptions.

I put two new 700 cca batteries in my newest Deuce as of the original Hawker batteries, only one was good. The other would not hold a charge. The cables were cut & worn, so I replaced all but the (+) lead going to the starter as it was okay! There is room for one more battery in there now...
