    1952 M135 W/Winch

    Can the old tubes that leak be patched or is that a no-no on truck tires? It is raining 11.00x20's at the moment. My brother just singled out his M818 and is giving me the tires that came off of it. Will be August before I pick them up. Looks like I have 14 Titan T Hawk 373's and 3 Coopers.

    1952 M135 W/Winch

    OkieM1008morrison and I did some trading and I ended up with 7 really nice 11.00X20's that are near new. I am thinking about taking a set of wheels off of one of my parts trucks, cleaning them all up and putting these tires on. Does anyone know of a good source for liners and tubes?

    Metal Magnets's M211 teardown and future rebuild.

    I have two nice spare tire carriers that I don't need. If only we were closer.... I looked on your YouTube channel and don't see but the one video uploaded. No heater video. Maybe that is your problem?

    Metal Magnets's M211 teardown and future rebuild.

    Sure looks like a rifle holder to me! That is neat! Looking forward to more pictures of the heater and everything else you are working on. Here is your YouTube video over here so you can focus on more new stuff. Subscribed! :popcorn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_yEVAziBlw

    G749 preservation

    I used the cheapo brand since there was no Hy-tran locally available at the time. :oops: The information with it said that it meets all the Hy-tran stuff. Sure seems to work better than the ATF that was in it. Time will tell I guess. Here is some info on what I used. Super Tech Heavy-Duty...

    I think they call it Hy-tran. That is what I am using in mine right now. Sure hope it works. Here is the link for you. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?17023-Hydramatic-Heaven

    Possible acquisition

    Neat project!

    1952 M135 W/Winch

    It sounded a lot like a big sewing machine when we finished up the adjustments. The carburetor is my next thing to look at. It was rebuilt a few months ago, but I think the float is not set right. It tries to load up when it has been idling for a little bit and floods easy if I pump the pedal...

    I learned how to adjust the intake and exhaust valves yesterday. All of my exhaust valves were a few thousandths of an inch too tight as was one or two of the intake valves. That old 302 really started purring after everything was set according to the TM and Bob Kettler's "GMC Tech Tips".

    A major fear for any deuce owner, total failure of a steer wheel!

    Oh man! Glad you are OK. Thanks for posting this up. Good learning material.

    Hardtop Insulation

    As most of you know, I purchased a military hardtop for my M135 the other day. It is in really nice shape, but the insulation will need to be replaced due to age. The insulation in it is dry and brittle. It is black and appears to be made of the same foam material that the military sleeping...

    Getting the old girl started again

    I bet you can. What color are you going to paint it? Here is a link to the thread where I was trying to figure out the color to paint mine. I am not ready to paint yet, but I do have the color ready. It was matched off of a 1952 dated military gas can. The last post has the paint code and the...

    That was the gist of the rumor I heard. Really wish there were some pictures to prove it.

    1952 M135 W/Winch

    I do not know for sure but I have heard people say that the Marines "acquired" some and used them in Korea. Other than that, I don't know that they used them. Most people say they were used extensively by the Army during the Korean War and then passed on to Guard and Reserve units who used...

    I need to learn how to post to YouTube from you then because I can't figure that one out! Very interested in the vent and heating stuff!!

    1952 M135 W/Winch

    I have run across the aftermarket hardtops, but they just did not look right to me. I prefer the original military ones too. We don't get near the snow you do, but it rains here all the time. I'd like to figure out how to re-dye the cab canvas set I have and then waterproof it with Canvak. It...
