If you check out the condition of the truck before starting, do the proper thorough PM, and especially check out the brakes, you are not likely to have a problem. Read the TMs. Don't try to drive excessively fast. I normally keep mine at ~50 mph or less. I've recovered two deuces that I...

Battery life can also be related to the quality of the batteries, although I don't see how front to rear mounting would be impacted. I'm a firm believer in 6TLs from Interstate. I've had fantastic luck with them. They have such a large capacity that starting, even in cold weather, doesn't put...

In many states you can register heavy trucks as commercial, but for non-commercial use. That is how mine is registered in Georgia. Some states also allow heavy trucks to be registered as farm trucks with some restrictions, again classified for non-commercial use farm use. Also, a lot of heavy...

That squealing noise in the video sounds very much like a compressor belt to me. The squealing is even pulsing like the compressor. If you plan on keeping the deuce, I would recommend purchasing the wrench set for the compressor. You can normally find them for a reasonable price on Ebay or...

For anti-seize, I use Permatex brand with copper. The presence of copper ascertains that you have a good electrical connection to ground.

As dmetalmiki suggested, check the lift pump. With the master on, you should be able to hear it running and also hear fuel returning to the tank.

The first thing to do is replace all of the belts. I'll bet the sound goes away.

I have a good take-out battery hold down for 6TL batteries you can have for free if you want it. Send me a PM if interested. Also, the check valve located over the fuel tank on an A3 is very easy to dismantle and clean. This is a weak point for A3 deuces as it doesn't take much to plug them up.

I would bet that the voltage regulator has failed if moving the adjustment screws don't fix the problem. These are the same symptoms that I had when my VR failed. A transistor burned out. I purchased another VR board and then repaired my original with a replacement transistor. I'm assuming...

I have a 1969 Kaiser M35A2 W/W for sale. It's located in North Georgia so it's not near you. You can check it out in the classifieds if interested. $6500.00 OBO

Power just came back on and shut the MEP003A down after ~47 hours of mostly continuous operation. No oil consumption. I just hope the power stays on.

I just made a run to town in my deuce to get more diesel fuel. The highways are completely clear and dry, but I'm way back in the woods and the road to my place still has much snow and a lot of thick ice. I still can't get my F250 4 X 4 out but my M35 has no problem.

The generator is still running. A total of 41 hours now of almost continuous use. Although the MEP003A has never used any oil, I'm going to shut down for a few minutes this morning and check the oil. It got down to 18 deg F last night, so the generator was most appreciated. My neighbors...

Woke up this morning freezing in bed. EMC power went back out again last night. They replaced the faulty transformer yesterday so I don't know what the problem is today. We had more snow last night, currently ~10 inches and still snowing. Maybe a tree came down on a line. I'm located way...

It's a sure thing!

Power is now back on so the genset can now rest. Apparently, a transformer exploded causing the power outage.

Power has been out over 7 hours now and the temp is supposed to be down to 24 deg F. tonight. The MEP003A is running at about 45% load and keeping the house warm. We now have over 7 inches of snow and another 3 - 5 inches is expected tonight. I get colder and more snow where I'm located due...

I think Papabear needs a twin. If one is good, two would be fantastic!

The snow is really coming down here in Hiawassee, GA. We are now up to 5-1/2 inches and getting deeper. I lost power from Blue Ridge Mountain EMC about two hours ago and have been running on the MEP003A for about two hours now. These gensets are great. As always, started right up. I don't...

I just received the latest copy of Army Motors from the MVPA, Number 161. There is a pretty good article on WWII radios. Also, the inside of the front cover of the Army motors side of the magazine shows the inside of a K18 and discusses the radios in the K18 / K19.
