The truck is still under construction but now able to dump under it's own power. All the real work is done, the pto control linkage is complete and works perfect. The hoist control cable is done and works very smoothly. First time out doors so I could raise it all the way up is right now, Happy...
When I get mine, I will run them over to Breton and they will tell me whose they are. No matter what, if they fit, it's the best deal any of us will ever see on cab covers. JT out
The LD-465-1C makes about 300 Ft.Lbs. of torque, The LDT-465-1c and 1D make about 325 Ft.Lbs. of toque. This may answer your honest question on how much torque do these huge engines make. As far as Horsepower, they are not capable of more than what they already make unless you are not concerned...
Well, looks like you have us all stumped. I know of buckling track sections together and then installing on dual tandem trucks, but I never was aware it was a military authorized kit with a manual. It was a redneck way of getting through a swamp. We put duals on the front axle too. That...
Yes, the M39 series and 800 series 5 ton wheel will fit the deuce splined shaft in the steering column. Check with other people on the 900 series 5 ton wheel, I think they are different. The 800 series wheel is smaller diameter for more room behind the wheel. The NSN is 2530-01-089-9129. I...
Deuces in other colors
Here are a couple. The Red One is Jatonka number 3 now owned by Sasquatch Santa and still very Red. The Orange one is my M35A1 wing plow, now orange and rust mixed. There is one called Black Beauty owned by our own Yankee Deuce, but he is without computer this last month...

Farmers use them all over NY in the onion fields, they like the gassers, or Multifuels with gas trannys in them cause the speeds in the field match the onion harvestors better. They stretch M35s to as close as possible to the M36 wheelbase so they can use M36 driveline parts in them. AND...
You are better off with Napa 25-9465. They are a half inch shorter and keep you further away from fuel filter base when you half to tighten them next year. JT out
You can run as high a speed as your truck will go, no troubles cause they do not rub eachother at all. I drove 7000 miles from NY to the Pacific Ocean and all over the place to get back home with Goodyear 11.00x20 military radials, which bulge more than NDT bias ply tires and never had a bit of...
The M54A2 will have a much different deeper bark when you start it and a stronger sound when you drive it. Kind of like a Walters snowplow truck with the exhaust stack up thru the hood. I have a Deuce with the LDS 465 1A engine from a 5 ton in it and it sounds like a 5 ton, but it pulls like a...
You can find Table 2-3A Standard Torque Specifications on page 2-6 of TM9-2320-209-20-1
