OK, now the burning questions: With all these different tech manuals, there's gotta be a whole lot of redundancies and overlapping of information. I understand a deuce is a complicated piece of equipment and requires a sizable amount of information to keep it running reliably and safely, but...
My name on here is a loose identification as an AMC's The Walking Dead fan.
If any of those survivors would have thought to grab one of the many MVs sitting around in Atlanta or outside the CDC in Season 1, it might have been a whole different story by now! lol

When I built my VW-powered trike, I used a spun aluminum Sobe bottle with the screw top and a tiny hole poked in the cap for a vent. You can make a brake fluid reservior out of just about anything. Just stop at the local motorcycle shop and get a bad dirt bike innertube out of thier trash bin...
Forrest Gump's momma said "Life is like a box of chocolates", but I say buying any old used vehicle is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get untill you bite into it. Don't get discouraged! Sooner or later, stuff will stop breaking and you'll get to enjoy a good drive...
I haven't verified this info yet, but according to the previous owner of my deuce, mine came out of Ft. Knox, KY., went to a farmer who used it as a hay truck to feed his cattle and sat for about 6 years. The previous owner went to look at it, hooked jumper cables to each battery for about 10...
Hey Don, I found a couple on ebay but one is shiny like the cheap ones and the other appears to be the government issue gold zippered ones but they're $48.95 each with free Expedited Shipping. I ran search for "M35A2 axle boots".

Well Dukeman, I'm relatively new here too, (been here since November or December) and from what Ive seen, there's a few deucers here who'd love to get thier hands on a 109 shelter box. Finding a trade seems like a good alternative, but your other option could be to remove the shelter box, set it...
THANK GOD FOR THE SEARCH FUNCTION! (for the noobs)
A couple weeks ago when I got down with a tape measuer to check the alignment on the front end of my 72 KJ M35A2, I noticed the axle boots appeared to be split horizontally and a little gooey around the split. Fearing the worst, (necesitating a...
Nice truck Rubenk! I had to double take on a couple of the pics as I have a similar tan strip on the driver door of my deuce too. Kinda weird! :shock: Congrats on that score and welcome to the green disease!

I finally just got done turning my 2 inches of toe-in back into 1/8 of toe-in per the TM. Sure feels good to have that done and out of the way! Thanks to my neighbor Butch for the use of the pipe wrench to bust loose the tie rod! Boy, was that sucker ever stuck! lol
:driver:
Truly an amazing find! With just over a thousand made, this one is more than worthy of a complete frame off resto! If you were close by, I'd love to come and handle some of the welding and body repair duties! Seeing this find and knowing she's in good hands make me feel all warm and fuzzy! (well...
I LOVE THIS THREAD!!!!!
Some of the creative uses made me smile real big, some made me scratch my head and say "WTF????" (What the frig?)
I've taken a few small cruises around the neighborhood in my deuce, but the longest ride I took was the recovery trip home to Yucaipa California from...
Allow me to play Captain Obvious here for a moment. Whatever is in that trans could always be drained out along with 2 or 3 flushes worth of ATF, cut with a little gasoline or a little more #2 diesel and run it in your M818 if it's a Multifuel. If you don't have a Multifuel in that beast...
That's funny right there! I don't care who ya are, that's funny right there!
Lord, I apologise and be with the starvin pygmies gown there in New Guinea. Amen. LMAO!

Nice pics and what a gorgeous deuce! Good call on the paintjob. That color blue on a deuce is just slightly less pleasing to the eye than a hot pink HEMTT.
Sorry, I couldn't resist.
