Has anyone ever mounted the super singles used for the Deuce upgrades on the M105A2 trailer? I have the stock trailer and want to make it match the M35A2C when I go to the larger tires 395/85R 20 on a certain someone's aftermarket wheels that look sooooo sexy. If these are too bit, can the ring...

Here are three more of the medium with the 3/4 & 1 inch combination feet. Hope this helps. Discaimer, the pins shown are not military but purchased at a tractor supply place for 3 point hitches. My pins were badly corrosed and these are just as storng but not quite as "pretty". This is the older...

adding brother to paperwork Several states have a "act of donation" form for donating a motorized and un-motorized (trailer) to someone else. In my home state of Indiana and my state of residence here in Louisiana the other person has to be a family member and not a neighbor for example. I bet...

EUC clearing time This is a general post on this subject of EUCs and clearing times required; I can't stress enough how much trouble a person can save by sending all the stuff 2 to 3 day priority mail with a Certified sticker attached. You have the legal-in-any-US court receipt (little green...

chain on e-bay Here is the add from e-bay in PDF. Hope this holds you until you get home. Jim

O.K. I have no drawing software so laugh away, I would. There are some pictures of the rod after I cleaned off the loose & flaking CARC. Esentially the assembly hast two 1/2 diameter rods bent to somewhere between 88 & 89 degrees. Both rods are 3 1/4 inches long after bending as measured...

side brace Hey guys and gals, I took a brace off my truck and am making a sketch with some pictures too. I should have it done in 30 minutes or so and will post it then. The thread is 1/2-20 on the one end that is threaded. Jim, back soon

Let me tell you what I did with my '84 M1009. I put new 31/10:50 tires on it and new, cheap shocks. I then drove it for 20,000 miles and the tires wore out due to manufacturing problems in the rubber compounds. I purchased new 33/12:50x15 all terrain tires, put gas shocks on it with the...

M35 Winch I understand the situation. Probably never actually done by the military as you mentioned. I was not sure but your statement makes perfect sense to me now. Thanks, Jim

Ft. Polk recovery I need to inject some comments from the manager of the Baton Rouge Office of Motor Vehicles of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Per thier instructions, obtain insurance for travels with time to spare and not not get caught without insurance. They will not issue a private individual a...

In reviewing the "genuine" military disc "EM 0037" dated 1 SEP 04 for the 2.5 ton truck, I can not find a MWO for the winch installation. I know that there have been many past questions in threads about this topic but one small Historical Detail calls out to me. If any of you out there are still...

CUCV-II, got it today I just "copied" and "pasted" this (below) from this thread. Degressing from topic but it acutally worked. nopics A CUCV II is just that. It was a limited series of GM product that the company wanted to have Uncle Sam purchase from them to replace or supplement the...

Well I'm back to inject a little more confusion. I am attempting to post 8 pics if it works. #1 is only to show the preference of 2 1/2 ton shackles over the original straight shackles. Kind of sexy...LOL. Anyway, #2, 3, & 4 are the genuine medium military tow bar with the combination 3/4 & 1...

towing the M1009 I would not recommend using the M1009 due to the weight difference too as well as the pintle on the M1009 only being reated at 1500 to 2000 lbs. Off road or for a few miles on country roads I would do it but not on the interstates. The hitch is not bolted to the frame so you do...

I recommend the tow bar if the wheel bearings & tires are o.k. Remember, the M1008 is nothing more than a mid 1980's 3/4 ton chevy pickup with standard cab, heavier springs, extra low gearing, and a diesel engine. The wheel base is the same as a civy truck. If you elect to tow bar it home, you...

jump starting CUCV If you have regular jumper cables, you can remove the covers from the bus bars and go from bus bar to bus bar. The lower & shorter bar is the negative and the upper & longer bar is the positive. This would give full voltage of both batteries of the good truck to both...

Leaking fuel Will look tonight (when I arrive home after work) and try to take a better picture too. Mucho thanks!

I have had a small amount of moisture (fuel) around the sending unit / fuel pump access area. I took the sheetmetal cover off tonight to take a picture for a fellow Mv'er and found my problem. I had fuel under the cover where the fuse is located as seen in the three pictures. Before I go...

your fuel pump fuse Uner the sheetmetal over over the pump, outiside of the tank. There is a thread on it here somewhere on S.S. but I did not find it in 30 seconds. I'll search for it and try to send it in case you don't find it. Better yet, I'll try to take a picture if I can. Additionall...

i would suggest replacing the seals too but that is not a local purchase either. i had seals sent in a 2 to 3 day envelope for $4.50 (or so) wich did arrive in two days. you need to look at your brake shoes too. If they are saturated with brake fluid, you may need to replace them. the torque is...
