    Setup for deep snow?

    I think leaving the duece stock and getting a trailer big enough to carry a Hagglund to the deep snow is the answer:grin: I want a Hagglund:jumpin:

    Deuce not idling!!!

    I think WD-40 might be more user friendly and engine digestible. My CUCV would start on it and run until prime would occur at the fuel filter without that ugly nasty knock knock - what you doing t the engine noise. :driver:

    Saw an air braked M35a2 yesterday

    Air brakes on a duece is a matter of choice I guess as it is a free country and if you are technically able to fabricate that result, Bully for you! I think one would be well served to remember the operating and maintenance parameters each of the systems: Air, air over hydraulic and straight...

    Setup for deep snow?

    I'm guessing the ultimate offroad setup for deep snow is snow shoes followed by cross country skis. The duece, to get to nice camping areas where ciovilization can assist recoveries and such will carry everything needed to survive the cold in relative comfort and make for a nice getaway and...

    Does the M35A3 really make a good FD Brush Truck

    I was under the impression that the 6 bolt cover on the side of the tranny was a spot that a pto would bolt to. :mrgreen: on the A3

    Is this HMMWV leagal

    I think we should petition the Commander and Chief that we want some HMMWV's . We pay taxes to supply them and we would like to preserve some, soo since they are considered tactical, why not register them like class III tansferable firearms, pay a $200 tax stamp and you get to drive your HMMWV...

    Oshkosh Snow plow W/ frozen motor

    If you have a mild dry stuck engine the soaking is ok but if you have some thing that has had a mouse nest in a cylinder and water down another cylinder, no amount of soaking is going to remove flaking rust and mouse fluff and associated rust from urine. The parts the force get applied to will...

    3116 hard start in cold weather?

    Hmm the engine is many hunks of metal that work as a unit. It has no intellect therefore it doesn't get an addiction to ether. However how does the engine physically change with the correct use of ether? I understand too much and one can ventilate the block pronto. I am going out to start A3 and...

    Welding with 24 volts?

    Absolutely outstanding video! Positive on the ground of the weld work concentrates the heat in the work piece. Length of arc varies the amperage to some degree. Correct welding technique and decent joint prep and that weld would be as good as a machine in the garage. I think a supply of 6011...

    I'll go along with the labor unions to a point but to level the playing field level I would insist that he chinese and all other mfg. areas live up to the American standard of living for workers and environmental conditions, American workers smoke the competition. The Germans in sourKrout land...

    How many ways does government liquidation suck let me count the ways!

    I've dealt with Gl reps from WPAFG, the big whare house and the on base (big DRMO I thinks) whare house up the street. With nothing but the most sincere and finest service and help from them. Female MP asked me if I needed anything else after nothing but total courteous service and help, I...

    Quarter elliptic bobber suspension

    Some 1/2 strap iron or some log chain looped up over the frame and a bolt through the chain or strap and under the spring end to hold up the end of the spring where the axle you removed used to be, badda-bing: badda-boom you golden homes :jumpin:

    Deuce VS Civil vehicles

    When I gotta go offroad it's the A3 hands down. When I need to go some where, it's the civi vehicle cause the A3 is clumsy. I can't wait for when my m1008 is sorted out, I enjoy that truck and there is no rust on it anywhere, Oooh I can't till it runs. When I gotta go fast, I'm gettin a turbo 85...
