    winch level wind on a deuce?

    During my time in the Army (1970-71) I drove a Deuce. I never saw a winch on a Deuce with a level wind. For that matter, I never saw a rear-mounted winch on a Deuce either.

    M818 - Georgia CDL driving test?

    For those veterans or active service members in GA, you can simply take a copy of your military license in when you take the written test for either a Class A/B or Class A /B CDL and you are exempted from taking the road test, as long as the military license covers the appropriate truck...

    Generator "heating" for easier cold weather starts

    I have used a magnetic heater on mine by wedging a wood block under the heater, which presses the heater against the oil pan, so I don't need the magnet on the heater. However, I normally don't use the heatere for my MEP-003A. Even when very cold, if I heat the glow plugs properly, it starts...

    Will a deuce run on refrigeration oil?

    You shouldn't have any issues burning refrigeration oil

    m35 frozen

    I purchased a block heater for my Deuce. It didn't seem to make much difference - it always starts easy, but I believe it is easier on the engine if the oil is warmer. The high compression makes starting Deuces easy when it's cold, if everything is correct. Although I'm in Georgia, I'm in the...

    Cucv front end shaking problems

    Assuming the front end is not worn out, I would take it to a front end shop and get them to spin the wheels while on the vehicle. It could be a bent wheel, bad tire, etc. I had an old Chevy truck that did really bad, starting at about 30 MPH. It turned out to be a bad tire. Looking at the...

    DIY tow bar

    That tow bar will come in handy. If your truck runs, I would recommend driving it. If I remember correctly from another post, your truck isn't that far from you. The most important thing is the brakes if you drive it. Good luck.

    My two MEP-002A's

    Very nice work! Now you have back-up for your back-up. There are plenty of posts on SS to help you wire up to your house if that is your goal.

    Parts enroute

    I got one from Saturn Surplus. You could get them to ship one to an address enroute. If it was me, I'd just drive in the daytime if possible and have one delivered to your destination.

    slober tube plumbed back into intake?

    That much blow by is not normal, if it is indeed blow by. As others have stated, check for exhaust leak first. Is it really coming from the tube? If so, I think you should check the engine compression for bad rings or worse. You cannot run it into the intake manifold if you have a turbo...

    Dyed Diesel / off road fuel.......

    I've never been checked, but a friend of mine was nailed in Alabama a few years ago. Big fine.

    Need "Current Value" for DMV

    I registered my Deuce, a 1969 Kaiser Jeep W/W in Georgia with the value I paid GL, which was $2500.00. I didn't have to pay sales tax when I picked it up. I just renewed my registration for 2011 last week. My Georgia tag fee is $25.00 and the taxes are $1.11 so I pay an annual total of $26.11...

    Deuce At Work Winching Trees This Weekend

    Thanks Speddmon. I'm still a little sore, but I'm about 99%. I can't complain, it could have been much worse.

    m35a2 insurance... need advice

    I would not recommend having a Deuce insured for the minimum State-required amount. A Deuce is a VERY heavy truck and can do a lot of damage or easily total a very expensive car and injure people or worse. I insure mine for $100K/$300K bodily injury and $50K for property damage with State Farm...

    Glad Hand question

    I replaced my seals at NAPA also. It's best to take your old one with you as NAPA had an assortment of sizes available. NAPA only had black, but color coding might be a good thing.

    City ordinance......What do you guys think?

    Sorry, but I think you are out of luck. You need to get away from the city and the screwy laws.
