    Official 2010 SS Ga Rally Info thread

    Clinto, If you do decide to have a raffle, etc. I would recommend running the idea by the DA in the county. If the DA provides approval, it is most likely OK. I would be nervous doing something like having a raffle in GA without knowing for sure.

    Daily driven deuces???

    I drive mine 3 - 4 times a week, but only occasionally to work. Usually to town and back at ~25-30 miles. I've been getting around 10 - 11 MPG running straight diesel, which is an improvement over the mileage when I picked it up about a year ago from GL. Keeping the tires inflated to 50 PSI...

    Moving 003A From M116A1 to M105A2

    Not to get off topic, but that is one nice TR3 in the photo. Is it an A or B? Braking with the extra weight was my main concern regarding using the M105A2.

    Moving 003A From M116A1 to M105A2

    I have my MEP-003A on an M116A2 trailer, and it pulls very well, either behind my Deuce or behind my Ford pickup, although I agree that the M105A2 is a very sweet trailer to pull. Putting the GenSet on an M105A2 trailer places the weight so high as to rule out pulling by conventional pickups...

    manifold heater vs. ether start

    If used correctly, you can get a large number of uses out of an ether bottle. The cost per shot is not that great. In addition, ether should only be used if needed. I have used ether twice in the past year, and only one shot was needed the first time and two shots the second time. As others...

    Diagnosing Bad Transfer Case

    The transfer case popping out of high range is not that uncommon. I've seen at least two deuces with the lever tied in high range with a piece of rope. I've also seen some previous posts describing what causes the X-case to jump out of gear. I think you'll find some help if you perform some...

    cost of ownership (the real cost of a deuce)

    I paid $2400.00 at auction, plus 10% commission, but no taxes for my 1969 M35A2 W/W. I was lucky in that most tires were relatively new, almost new batteries, brakes were great, cargo top almost new, all bows and seats and hard top in good shape. After one year, lost 5th gear and replaced...

    axle swap

    Ditto on the re-gearing. It's not that hard.

    First Adventure with the deuce! (pix)

    I tried taking the lug nuts off my Deuce when I first got it with a 1/2" CN impact wrench with 1/4" air hose to the gladhand and the nuts wouldn't budge. I upgraded to 1/2" air line and two came loose. I then spent some money and got a 3/4" CN impact wrench with 1/2" line to the gladhand and...

    Unreadable Stickers need help

    I now remember a sticker on the rear near the pintle that warned about the pinch point.

    M149A2 Recovery From Camp Lejeune

    I didn't see a date on the tank. The date of 11/2000 is on the dataplate on the chassis and the dataplate looks old. Where would the tank date be located?

    manifold heater vs. ether start

    I drove a Deuce in the Army about 40 years ago. They all had manifold heaters. I now have a Deuce with ether. Ether works much better in my opinion, but others may disagree.

    Georgia Mountain Fair Parade - Hiawassee, GA

    I just found out that the U.S. Army got credit for my Deuce in the parade! I didn't hear it, but apparently the local radio station and cable TV informed everyone that my Deuce was actually from the Army. Maybe it was my OD MVPA shirt I was wearing!

    Tell me your issues

    I keep having to sign back in repeatedly. I can try to post something and if it takes more than a few minutes, I have to sign back in to make the post. Very irritating.

    Unreadable Stickers need help

    I have seen a sticker on the back of some deuces warning about securing the pintle hitch, but I can't remember the exact wording.

    Need Parts for M149A2

    Anybody parting out an M149A2? I need two manual dispensing water valves, P/N 261G. These are the ones that go in the side boxes.

    Freeze plug Woes

    The easiest thing to do is pop the old freeze plug out and take it to NAPA or another parts house and get them to match it.

    Atlanta people, with MV cargo trailers

    In Georgia you won't apply for a title for the trailer. You will register is as a military trailer using the model of the trailer. You will also need the manufacturer's name and year of manufacture. The 'paid in full' invoice from GL will work or if you purchased it from an individual, a...
