Please find a copy of the Marine Corps instructions for the 5-ton attached, which is the same as the deuce.

Please refer to the attached document, put out by Allison and which covers the 1545 transmission. It lists fluids authorized for the transmission. Dexron III covers a larger range of operating temperatures. Another thought is how many 1545 transmissions have been produced, and most are in...

I switched to Dexron III several years ago. What a difference! Shifts up and down much smoother. I didn't contact an Allison dealer, I contacted Allison directly and talked with an engineer in their Technical Support Dept. I had a difficult time getting to one of their engineers since they...

I've put thousands of miles on both my M35A2 and my M35A3, both on road and many miles off-road in poor terrain. I've never had a boot fail. The boots on my trucks are what were on them from the Army. IMO you should be looking for boots that last a lot more than 1000 miles or one year.

Sounds like someone was trying to prevent people from using the winch or perhaps there was an air leak they were trying to bypass.

I'm a firm believer in using 6TLs. I've got two deuces with 6TLs installed. I never have a problem. One of the deuces still has the original 6TLs that came from the Army. They are now approaching 10 years age based on the date codes on the batteries and they appear to be as strong as ever...

If you search on Google, you'll find several sources for copper crush washers of all sizes. As other have stated, once they are used, they should be replaced with new crush washers.

When you first try to start it, let the starter turn the engine over a few revolutions before starting it. You can sometimes find poor connections by feeling for hot connections. I had a somewhat similar issue years ago and I ended up melting the post off of the top of the battery. I would...

Just because the connections feel tight doesn't mean that the connections are good. Disconnect the battery cables and clean all of the posts and connectors. Make sure the cells are topped off to the correct level with de-ionized water. If you don't have a 24 V charger, you can charge each 12...

A copy of the schematic is in the TM. I blew it up and printed it on 11 X 17 so that I stood a chance of reading it. I've attached a copy of the pdf file for the schematic. However, driving your A3 to town shouldn't run your batteries down unless your batteries are in poor condition, or your...

Diesel fuel is much more stable than gasoline. If your fuel is only a year old, I wouldn't drain it. You can always add some fuel additive as well. I routinely start my MEP003A once per month and keep a trickle charger on it. I also purchased some NOS 24V glow plugs on E-bay real cheap, but...

The winter storm that is coming through North Georgia has hit us hard. We're in NE Georgia in the Blue Ridge Mountains. We had a lot of snow and ice and lost power at 1:00 AM last night. I fired up my MEP003A and it has been running ever since, now at 15 hours straight, running the whole...

Cab reinforcement plates are not that hard to come by. NOS ones are on Ebay occasionally and sometimes custom made ones. I have an extra NOS one I picked up for $50.00 a few years back, but plan to hang onto it.

I'm getting ready to clean up and check out my M35A2 for the trip to the rally. My M35A3, which I usually take to the rally, is still out of commission due to a fire in the engine compartment. I finally got the money from State Farm to pay for the repairs and have accumulated most of the...

Robert, I'm sorry you won't be coming this year. A friend of mine, who escaped from the former Czechoslovakia in the 1980s while on holiday with his mother in Austria, is likely to be attending this year with me. We'll miss you and Olga. :(

Ditto!! Even with the plate installed my cab will still flex some.

The M49 is a complicated apparatus. Not something you can just easily machine. You need to look for a ring and poles - they aren't that hard to find.

You are likely to get new tires out of the incident, and I hope you do. I would recommend having C&C replace the grommets behind the valve stems when they have the tires dismounted. Those grommets relax with age, and dry-rot. The nuts should be torqued to 45 - 60 Ft-Lb. If the brass nuts are...

It looks like Zout almost has it done! I can't wait to see it run. My wife always gets upset when I run parts through the dishwasher. Works great as long as none are aluminum. She gets even more upset when I run black powder revolver parts through the dishwasher. Stinks up the whole house.
