    M1061a1

    Mine travels all over behind the deuce or M108. It's heavy, and slows you down some, but I still get to 55. Here's some threads with mine, should be pics too. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/conversations/31293-trip-get-5-ton-trailer-story-pics-stretch.html...

    I Won A Hardtop!!!

    I really don't know why the price's are so high for hardtops. It's not that complicated of a item. Heck, I paid 600 for a complete parts deuce, much less 600 for a top. New 93 motor for 500. I think they are way overpriced, but people must be willing to pay for them. If they were cheap...

    The Deuce and the dragstrip

    I thought it was funny.. I don't get upset by anything that happens on the internet... Opcom, I had a broken snap ring in the transmission, but it didn't happen while goofing off. It could have been from the burnou, but I doubt it.

    The Deuce and the dragstrip

    You mean a burnout like this? Or a thread on it? http://www.steelsoldiers.com/conversations/2538-deuce-burnout-fixed-attachments.html

    Found an M543 (I think)

    M60, but good luck finding one. Has the crane and rear winch. M108 is the same truck, without the rear winch, and bed is little different. It's more common, but still not many around. Both trucks were gasser's only.

    Hay Train

    I agree with everyone else on the hitch idea. Wonder if you could use a medium towbar some how to do the same thing.

    use towbar to push?

    I've pulled mine a couple of miles with the pickup. Deuce had air for the brakes and a driver. Just used a chain.

    PsycoBob propane conversion

    The regulator on the boom lift is strapped to the exhaust manifold for heat. That engine is aircooled, so no coolant. What are you converting? With propane, it will run when tipped on it's side, always a bonus for you!

    cummins 250 air compressor

    Did you see glens had air pumps for the 250? Think they were 89 a piece.

    Don't think the arms made it out to my place. I have the powerpack lifts. I'll be at the show if something needs a ride to my place. Dennis

    M108 crane parts

    The seals for the hydraulic cylinders will be at any good hydraulic shop. If you can get the seal or bearing part numbers off the old parts, a bearing shop will be able to match them up. And if you find a 2 outriggers, I am in need of them. Dennis

    11:00 x 20 NDT tires

    I believe M34(gasser singled trucks, first ones made) came with 11-20's on them.

    While the radiator is off...

    On the lower radaitor hose. First I recommend pulling the alternator bracket on the side of the block off. 3 bolts, 5/8 head. You can leave the alt. attached. This will give you much more room to work with. It can be done with the bracket there, and I've done it, but would still been much...

    5 ton wrecker crane and winch in a deuce?

    Stock boom goes to 20 feet high, because of how high the crane sits on the truck. Just used mine to move furniture to the second floor of the house via the porch roof. Post up some pics and should be able to tell what's different. 5 ton wreckers aren't much better on reach, think they have 2...

    Oddest load moved in a deuce???/ SS airforce??

    I nominate Gimpy for oddest load hauled in a deuce. The turbine rotor makes a C turbo sound quiet.

    M108 update

    Sounds good. Looks a lot like my truck when I got it.
  18. Stretch44875

    look at this find

    Auction posting rule is for GL/GSA auctions. That may have changed, I have to find out. On another note, I work in parma where the truck is. Looks very complete and nice in the pics, but I don't need another truck.
