    Hummer Winch

    Ditto! If you want a winch for your M35A2, find the correct winch. Overloaded winches and cables can kill you.

    High or low sulfur????

    I think we are mixing things up a bit. There is both high sulfur and low sulfur diesel that has road tax added to the price. Previously, all diesel with road tax was high sulfur. Offroad diesel is the same as highway diesel, except there are no road taxes added, and a red dye is added to tell...

    Deuce lurches with clutch engagement

    Has the transmission cover been removed? I'm thinking of the possibility that the shift forks were misaligned when the cover was reinstalled.

You will then need to brouse for the photo you want to upload from your computer. If you have more than one photo go to the next line and do the same thing. After you have all...

    M35A3 Paint Color

    The 24087 is not the correct color. This is semi-gloss OD. It should have been painted with green CARC. The Gillespie 383 should match if you don't want CARC.

    Got MEP 003a up and running

    My MEP-003A also puts out 27-28 VDC. The alternator should put out 6.5 amps with completely discharged batteries according to the TM.

    Fuel Drum Adapter questions...

    That looks like a very nice setup. I plan to do something similar. I was going to neck up to larger flex, such as 2-inch, to minimize the potential backpressure problem, but now it sounds like this isn't much of a concern. From the fourth photo it looks like you might be cooking your tire...

    What are these unique deuce accessories?

    I agree about the unit crest. Since it is a triangle, it could be from an armor unit. I would recommend sanding off the triangle and see what is under the paint. Also, do you have any idea where the truck came from? Was it assigned to an armor unit?

    Fuel Drum Adapter questions...

    I measured the length of hose on my adapter assembly and it measures slightly over 25 feet in length. There is a metal tag on the hose that is difficult to read from the photo below, but the text is as follows: DCU LOT5-13-4 894B90071-05-2992 69-668 A-310 82 PT OPER 3000 PSI CURE DATE 3082...

    Fuel Drum Adapter questions...

    My MEP-003A came with a complete pickup assembly. The hose appears to be original and is definitely hydraulic hose. The metal braid is covered by a very tough fabric.

    DOT 5 Brkae Fluid

    I have bought two gallons of DOT 5 from two separate MV parts dealers in the past year. The first purchase was $30.00 a gallon and the second was $35.00 a gallon. I don't have the suppliers names in front of me, but can post them later.

    I believe you can repair the trailer and no one would ever know if it is done right.

    M149A2 Water Buffalo Unknown Bracket

    I have an M149A2 water buffalo (USMC) manufactured in 2000 and i am trying to identify the bracket in the photos below. The bracket is attached by one bolt to the left side of the crossmember running between the front frame rails. It is oriented to the left, but this may not be correct. It...

    What Does "No RAD" stenciled on bumber and door mean

    It would take a lot of gauges to garner enough Ra-226 for nefarious purposes. The gauges in question have Radium-226 paint on them to make them glow in the dark. As long as the gauges aren't tampered with, they are safe. You don't want to be opening them up and getting the material on your...

    151 spark plug adapters

    I purchased a spark plug cleaner a few years back and it cleans them up nicely very quickly. You can get a lot of miles out of them using a cleaner.
