    2016 Ga Military Vehicle Rally buy/sell/trade thread

    Mike, How much for the six deuce wheels? I have a friend in Hiawassee that is looking for deuce wheels and doesn't need the tires, so bald tires is not a problem. Gary

    M35A3 Owners unite

    I recently replaced my steel hood with an NOS fiberglass hood. What a difference! The fiberglass hood looks substantially better and is much lighter when raising and lowering. I don't have insulation on the fiberglass hood, but I can't tell any difference in noise levels from when the steel...

    Give me a call. I have some good information regarding your Dad's deuce. Did you get your clutch fixed in time for the rally? I'll be arriving late Wednesday if everything goes according to plan. See you at the rally.

    I'm all ready to roll out, leaving Hiawassee, and arriving late Wednesday afternoon. Checked all the fluids, brakes, lights, etc. I'll be pulling my M149A2 water buffalo. :-D:-D:-D

    I would recommend no one asking them about helmets. A question like that could result in a new requirement from D-town.

    I'm almost ready. I have one of the wheels off my A3 replacing the O-ring and valve stem grommet. A real pain. The valve stem was so badly corroded I had to replace it with my only spare one. Unscrewing the brass nut twisted off the threads on the fitting. The other end was paper-thin. :grin:

    A3 fuel Problems,was broke down in Morganfield, Kentucky

    The check valve on top of the tank gets clogged very easily since there is no filter in the tank. I have had to clean mine out twice now, even though the tank appears clean. The truck will start blowing white smoke and lose power. One caveat. When removing the line and elbow use extreme...

    Bad Battery vs Bad Starter in Deuce

    In addition to always keeping a Soneil battery minder attached, the A3 also has a Solargizer that was installed by the Army. Unfortunately, where I live is highly wooded and the shade precludes much sunlight reaching the Solargizer where I keep the truck parked. We should get together sometime...

    Joe, Have you checked the main circuit breaker on the AC output control box?

    Bad Battery vs Bad Starter in Deuce

    I was convinced that I had a bad starter on my M35A3. The truck had always started very reliably and very quick. The last time I went to start it, the engine turned over about two revolutions and I heard a loud mechanically-sounding thump. The starter wouldn't turn over anymore, but you could...

    m35a3 fuel issue

    As Floridianson mentioned, it is quite common for the drain petcock to get plugged up. Open the petcock and use a piece of welding rod to clean it out. I occasionally open the petcock while the engine is running. The pressure and volume flush it out. Only takes a second or two.

    DEUCE:Metal 'clacking' sound in 5th gear high/low only??? Any ideas what it might be?

    When my A2 transmission gave out, the gears were so trashed I didn't even consider rebuilding it. I got a takeout and swapped the transmission. I went ahead and replaced the clutch at the same time. I'm still running on the used transmission. Good luck.

    Mep-003a

    When I got my MEP003A, the tank was a real mess. There was orange sludge about two inches deep in the bottom and extensive rust in the tank. It was difficult to clean because of the baffle. I removed the tank and cleaned it as best as I could. I then put in a couple of handfuls of crushed...

    My new 1951 M38 project

    You may want to check and see if the engine will turn over by hand, but only after putting oil in the cylinders and letting it soak. It is likely the fuel tank will be rusted out after sitting so long. If you can get that jeep for a good price, I would definitely go for it.

    Why are goats on the DEMIL list?

    I understand that the reason for the demil is that people unfamiliar with the steering characteristics were having a lot of accidents. I also heard that a lady in New York sued the military when her husband killed himself in a goat accident while off-roading. When I was in the army back in 71...

    MEP-003a Governor

    My 003A linkage doesn't bounce around. My original frequency gauge is steady as a rock after about 5 minutes and will hold 60 Hz for many hours without adjusting RPM. Has anyone warned you that you should never change the engine speed to idle? Shut down all 002A and 003A generators at full...

    Deuce identification

    Look at the data tags on the three axles. That might give you an idea.
