    Took Deuce to the local mud pit

    Yep...XLs are great, and you can get them surplus from a number of places for a reasonable price. Here's my deuce with 14.50R20s mounted on 11" wide (OD Iron) rims: http://s214.photobucket.com/albums/cc162/dantheman29a/Tires/ Here's another thread with the same wheels with 15.50/80R20s with...

    Save a rare USAF Deuce

    Does anyone know what kind of money we are talking about? What about getting it out (looking at the other thread, it looks like it might be tightly packed into a corner of a barn). If it wasn't all the way across the country, I would jump at this if the price was reasonable (at our about scrap...

    Save a rare USAF Deuce

    RE: Save a rare USAF duce This needs to be saved, but we need more information on where it is and how to save it. Please fill us in... These Decon trucks are rare and need to be saved for sure.

    Winch cost

    RE: Re: RE: Winch cost I have the bracket that the lever connects to...PM me and you can have it (I'll even throw in the bolts) for postage. This is the bracket that bolts under the cab to hold the winch handle.

    Now this is my kinda bob deuce!

    Is it just me, or does it look like it's missing a brake system on the rear axle? Maybe it's just the angle of the photo...but that looks weird.

    Using Jet- A

    Looking in the TM 9-2320-361-10, section 1-28, table 1-11, Jet A-1 is considered an alternate fuel (not a primary fuel): Commercial aviation turbine fuel Do not use below -52°F (-47°C) (ASTM D1655), jet A-1 It also states this: If engine runs rough when using any alternate II fuel, add 10% to...

    1988 m35a2c updates

    Those look like custom wheels based on M135 wheels (???). And those are much bigger than 14.50s. I would say 15.50s at least.

    5 ton mf power steering pump on m35a2

    Some radiator (shroud) trimming will be required. See this thread for great pics: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=15092 M-35tom uses this pump for his power steering. I am (someday soon) going to do the same set-up.

    Field kitchen question

    VERY NICE!!! Man, I have *got* to get me one of those! Talk about being the king of the camp-out! All you need to do is add a big BBQ/smoker to the bed of the tow vehicle, and you're in! Idaho Motor Pool has one of these for sale, but I don't think it's as nice as yours....Hmmm.

    Deuce tools

    Don't forget a large-ish adjustable wrench...you'll need that to get the spare off the hanger (unless you use the BUDD socket to losen the cap bolts, but you will need a ratchet or breaker bar to get in there as there isn't enough clearance for the torque multiplier or impact wrench even IMO)...

    Zil 135

    Yikes! .59mpg! Might be better to put it on a flat-bed and drive it to the show that way! Very cool truck though...

    Winch Lever mounting...

    James, thanks for the pic. Yes, that helps in that it shows me what the older mounting looked like. On the newer trucks with the split brake system, the master cylinder mounting is very different (a bit of a plumbing nightmare really), so the older mounting does not work, but there is an...

    Winch Lever mounting...

    That makes sense...I know what you're talking about with the bracket that is already on the truck...I just wasn't sure if there were 'other' parts that I would need. Let me give that a go and I'll get back with you later tonight.

    New to Site in Idaho

    Welcome to the site GK88! Let me second the above recommendation from Bill. Alex at Idaho Motor Pool is a great guy...highly recommended. I bought my deuce from him and would do so again... You Idahoans should put together a convoy and come to the MVPA convention in August in Portland! The...

    Winch Lever mounting...

    Hey all, I'm mounting the hand lever for the winch (connects to the transmission-mounted PTO) on my '88 M35A2C and running into some issues. I got all of the parts for my winch install from an older M35 (no idea what year), but so far everything has bolted up nicely (yes, I got all of the...
