    Welcome to Steel Soldiers! When I was in the Army I never went to a nice place like Hawaii! Oh well. You will find that there is a lot of knowledge and expertise on this site.

    M66 TM, and legs?

    You could obviously make an adapter to use the incorrect front leg. However, the arm on the front leg would extend out a significant distance which means the entire structure would not be as strong. There is a **** of a lot of leverage involved considering the length of the legs and using...

    M66 TM, and legs?

    Another potential problem is that you need to measure the length of the front post from the top of the bracket to the bottom of the post. If this exceeds 63 inches total, you need to cut the bottom of the post off. Otherwise, the bottom of the post will impact the right fender and damage it...

    M66 TM, and legs?

    The M66 takes three legs to mount on the M35 and all three legs are different. If you don't have three different legs, you need to look for the correct legs. You are correct, the top of the front leg has an angle built into it. The other two are straight. The open part of the right and left legs...

    Some video of my first M35A2

    Very, very good job on that video. That was better than many commercials. You made me want to buy an M35 and I already have two.

    2011 GA Rally Buy/Sell/Trade Thread

    I could use a drivers side fender for an M35A2. It seems I only see passenger side fenders for sale.

    Understanding Deuces

    I prefer an air transfer case. That being said, sprag units work fine if set up correctly.

    Official 2011 SS Ga Rally Info thread

    I can't wait for the rally! I plan on staying for the entire time this year. I should be able to bring a lot of firewood with me like I did last year. Anyone interested in convoying with me from North Georgia, please send me a PM. I may bring my M35A3 this year. If not I'll bring my A2. I...

    6TL batteries cheap!

    I have Interstate 6TLs in both my deuces and they were original from when I recovered the trucks. All four are old and work fine. One secret is to make certain that you keep them topped off. I also use my trucks regularly and I think exercising the batteries is better than letting them sit...

    6TL batteries cheap!

    Have these been activated? If not, they will store for a while. All my 6TLs in my deuces are working fine, but they are getting old. If they haven't been activated, I might be interested in driving over.

    MEP-003A Saved the Day

    I don't put anything in the fuel. I keep the tank only half full and have been changing it out for fresh fuel approximately every six months. I keep my M35A2 and A3 tanks full, as well as my two JD tractors, so I have plenty of reserve if needed. I've never had any problems with diesel going...

    MEP-003A Saved the Day

    Blue Ridge Mountain EMC came by very early in the morning and told me they had an emergency and that my power was going to be cut off all day. I work out of my home a lot of the time and need reliable power for phone, computer and internet. I fired up the MEP-003A, threw the transfer switch and...

    Noisey 5th gear / teeth rubbing???

    I lost 5th gear right after my recovery. The Spicer transmission is very tough, but 40+ years of abuse by GIs will take it's toll. Treat the transmission good by using the proper lubricant and proper slow shifting and it will be very reliable.

    M66 ring mount questions.

    I would highly recommend that you do not install the M66 until you have a cab plate installed. I have a cab plate installed and my cab still flexes a lot on rough ground or bumps. Second recommendation is to have help when you install it. I did my installation solo and it was rough going.
