    Took my Deuce out, found a car show!

    Did that same thing with mine in my town the Friday before Memorial Day. Got so busy with Memorial Day I forgot to post anything. The most unique vehicle there had to be the '37 Ford converted into a bar. Hope you don't mind me putting a few of the pictures in your thread.

    Brake issues on a M35A2

    1 hour tops for the work. You can have the axels and wheels/hubs off and back on in 15 minutes. After that its 2 bolts to remove the cylinders and 1 threaded connection for the line. Bleeding will take as long to do as replacing the cylinder.

    exhaust leak....need advice

    Could be a couple of places. The exhaust manifold is on the passenger side of the engine. After the manifold is where the J pipe hooks up and then goes vertical to the stack. Most likely places are the joint of the J pipe to manifold and the bottom of the J pipe due to corrosion from the...

    What numbers are you using for you registrations/title?

    Another thing to try is a different DMV. Sometimes you will run into someone who has a clue as to what to do and they will take care of it for you.

    What numbers are you using for you registrations/title?

    See if you can use both in combination, if not go with the registration #. I didn't have any issue with my M105 but your situation is kind of unique.

    Lube trailer is a winner

    Nice score Greg, very nice. Now if that row of Deuces were your motor pool (starting to think of WM's collection) you would be very busy with that trailer. As is I'm sure you'll find a good use for it.

    July 4th parade - Twin Cities MN

    Just got scheduled to be there via the museum with my deuce. I'll be doing the Edina parade and the Apple Valley parade that day.

    Runaway Multifuel cutoff?

    I've heard of a multi running backwards once. Forget how it got started that way but it was a very interesting story.

    Runaway Multifuel cutoff?

    We started a M35A2 with whistler turbo at the museum about 1-1/2 years ago and the fuel shut off was stuck on the IP -- hence runaway at 1200 rpms. We pulled the mushroom off of the truck and stuck a board up against the intake at the air cleaner. All it did was made the turbo whine increase...

    A3 in my area, go for it or stick with an A2

    Biggest thing that goes wrong with the CTIS is the O-rings in the hub will dry crack and leak. I believe there are 4 per hub and if any of them go bad your tires will deflate when the truck isn't running.

    Dragging junk cars in sand - Deuce or 5 ton?

    Either one would work fine then, but like wolfman said its easier to pull a deuce out than a 5 ton so I would go with the deuce.

    Storage Prep

    Fuel stabilizer is optional, some will say yes some will say no. If its clean it should store for 3 months without issue. Now that being said, if you don't put anything in the fuel make sure the tank is either clear empty or clear full.

    Deuce door windows

    The other thing to watch out for is when rolling the window up. I have seen a couple of trucks now where screws have been put in the doors for various reason and the window will catch it when trying to roll up. All you have to do is wiggle the window back a little bit to get around the edge of...

    Dragging junk cars in sand - Deuce or 5 ton?

    A lot of it will depend on your tire setup.

    Where did all the M35A3's go?

    Talked to one of our guys here in MN and he said that they have to have every M35 series turned in this year. Don't know if there is a specific month deadline though. A M35A2 I knew of here disappeared a couple of weeks ago to DRMO, probably to be sold out of Ripley (don't know that for sure...

    Tank pic

    Thats an M60A3. ShootER is correct on his points but you can also tell if it has the smoke grenade launchers on the side of the turret, only the A3 had those.

    5 ton towing a 55 ton tank

    Better question, what kind of tank are you wanting to move? :twisted:
