    Using the winch correctly

    I use a piece of wood like an old maul handle. Long enough to keep my hands out of the way. I try to line up as straight with my target as possible. Then using the wood, you can sort-a, kind-a, maybe direct the cable to spoll evenly. I have had to stop pulling, disconnect, realign the Deuce...

    Bed dimensions of a M35A2 and A3? Can I haul a Suburban in one or on a trailer?

    The bed of any M35 is 12' X 7'3" (inside dimensions). With the tailgate suspended horizontally by its chains, you gain about a foot. I have seen light vehicles put in the back of a Deuce with ramps, but the best way would be a loading dock. I don't know the bed height of the deuce. My...

    Successful M37 Recovery

    Will it still be pink for Georgia?? I was looking for a Jeep, maybe a M38A1, to use on trails with my sons, but found this M37-B1 instead. I love my Deuce but it simply does not fit on the trails around here. I spent more than I had planned on the M37, but I think I got a good MV. It was...

    How to paint camo?

    I just did my Deuce 2 months ago and just used Rustoleum spray cans from Walmart. The only problem is there is no flat green, but what I used was very close. Called Olive Green believe it or not. See my thread if you want...

    M200A1/M353 31 Trailers

    I have both trailers, and much prefer the M353. As stated already by Aaron, the M200 is too high. My 353 has 67" of clearance between wheel wells and a 9' long bed. I have built a wooden box for the 353 for hauling firewood. Now I do need to say that I have bought 6 M200 for tires. Usually...

    2 month old split axle boots

    I've had my Deuce 3 years and just installed my 3rd boot on the driver's side. Passenger side looks old but is holding steady. Can't remember the first 2 suppliers. I got my last Boot from Eriks surplus. Can't vouch for it's durability yet, but Eriks was highly thought of by others on this...

    M200A1 VS M101 as wood hauler with Power Wagon

    I have all 3 trailers and vote for the 101. My son pulls the 101 with his Ranger when we go cutting together. I use the Deuce of course and pull a modified M353 with wooden sides. The 101 weighs about half what the 200 or 105 weigh. A 105 would give you a bit more capacity. Another...

    M-332 Questions

    I love my M332. Low bed and I chain the tailgate horizontal when carrying logs. Got 2 out of Richmond for min bid. Now that I have a M353 with wooden sides and a low deck for hauling firewood, the M332 is my parade trailer.

    M1061a1

    I have pulled my 1061a1 a few times behind my Deuce. No problems. I can tell it's back there but no real issues. Stopping is actually easier with the 1061A1 since there are 4 extra brakes at work. However, I have never hauled more than a few hundred pounds on it. I have never gotten near...

    Need help at Ft. Jackson, SC

    Jimma, We picked up 3 trailers at Ft. Jackson about 5-6 months ago and joked with Tim about the "incident" where a brakeless deuce driven by a nameless SS member damaged a building at DRMO trying to get water for the radiator. At that time, I thought Tim said you could drive off if you had...

    Deuce Finally Painted

    Deuce Finally Painted

    Welcome, Brentzilla, and thank you. I got the lettering finished tonight, so I think she's all done - for now. Zout, Backing the M353 is easier than my other trailers. It is slightly longer and the tires are at the back. Besides I always back up in Low so I have very little trouble and...

    Deuce Finally Painted

    HeavySteven, Do you mean the rear side lights? My Deuce came that way. There is a piece of angle iron welded on each side and a simple wire running to the light. TexAndy, The trailer is a M353 generator trailer, rated for 7000 lbs offroad. I like the low deck. Much easier tossing...

    Deuce Finally Painted

    Monday began a week with no rain predicted, so I pressured washed the Deuce. The original camo scheme had chipped away leaving about 10 mottled colors, so it was time to paint. I also washed My M353 which was virtually brown with rust with a bit of tan left over. I then brush painted the...
