Either stainless screws or clean and repaint the original screws.

I would drain and clean the tank and replace all three fuel filters.

You need to look at the truck. Until you look it over, everything is basically a guess. You may find that it is in good shape, aside from fuel. It it's been sitting that long, all three fuel filters and draining the tank are a must. You will definitely need two new 6TL batteries. Sounds...

Go with the M105A2.

That sounds great! I'm only two miles off U.S. 76 about 10 miles before you get to Hiawassee. If you have time you could stop by and I can show you my MV junk.

I think I've gotten lazy in my old age. I pay the local truck shop $25.00 to do the work, including mounting and dismounting on the truck.

Red primer used on the military vehicles is often call 'Red Lead' because of the red-colored lead tetroxide. It had superior rust-proofing qualities.

Let me know and maybe we can convoy over together.

I agree. If you want a trailer to pull behind a pickup, even a larger one, I would recommend getting an M101A2. M105A2s are great trailers behind a Deuce.

Sorry, I was asking about Jimma's Dad, who has a Deuce.

The push button type is newer, but inferior to the old type IMHO.

Ditto You could use sealer, but don't use it until you know how many gaskets you need for the backlash. I don't use sealer on mine.

I may bring one of my Deuces as well. It's a fairly short drive from Hiawassee. Is your Dad going to bring his Deuce as well?

Welcome to Steel Soldiers, and Ditto on everything Isaac said, specially on never idleing the engine. The MEP-003A gensets are very reliable and work great for powering a home or shop and give you the option of single and three-phase power. I have mine connected to the house through an NOS...

:ditto:

I have a USMC M149A2 water buffalo and am trying to interpret the vehicle numbers. The tank is stenciled with the following on all four sides. 1. First Line: USMC 392549 2. Second Line: M21810 The trailer came from Camp LeJeune

Does anyone know a source for the exterior data plates for an M35A3 W/W? I'm talking about the data plate on the drivers side exterior, and the ones dealing with the winch on the front left. I know where I can have some made but I haven't seen any already made for sale.

When you crank it over, does it crank over smoothly, like you are getting compression on all cylinders? If it is cranking smoothly with compression on all cylinders, I don't think it's a major mechanical failure (rod, piston, etc.).

I had a 1/2" impact wrench with 1/2" hose and it was not up to the task. I bought a Chicago Pneumatic 3/4" impact wrench and with the same 1/2" hose I have not had any problems. If you want to be certain you won't have any problems go to 1". However, those are a lot heavier and use a lot of...

Will self-etching primer etch stainless steel?
