I don't like the old style handles as they are too easy to accidentally release while entering/exiting the cab.

I feel your pain. I'm going to bid on a second deuce. The problem is that both are good and I won't want to get rid of either if I win the bidding. Fortunately I have a place to keep them. My problem is keeping my wife happy.

Very nice looking truck!

The original trucks were OD with the registration number on each side of the hood. This was later discontinued with CAMO paint. Many deuces have the registration number stenciled on the inside of the doors. You can also look on the data plate which should have the VIN and registration. Make...

Welcome to Steel Soldiers. CCKWs have been powered by 228, 248, 256, 270 and 302 CID gassers in the U.S. military. This doesn't mean that other countries haven't put diesels in them - I would wager that many gassers have been replaced by diesels over the years. There were a lot of CCKWs...

One thing I forgot to mention concerning UMO. When I was growing up, we didn't have a lot of money and my Dad took UMO, filtered it, and then used it again, sometimes adding a percentage of new high viscosity oil to bring the viscosity back up. He filtered it slowly, letting it drip through an...

I know these are multi-fuels, but when I was in the Army in the early 70s, we were warned about burning straight MO gas. We were only authorized to use it in an emergency and then if possible to cut it 50% with diesel to prevent damage to the injectors. The only lubrication the injectors get...

NHDIESEL, Are you certain that your front brakes aren't dragging? Also, I'm not sure if you have a winch or not, but a winch will add a lot of weight hanging out front, further taking weight off your rear tires. I really think there is something wrong with the truck, not the tires. Those...

If you have the registration number, the last digits are the year. On most Deuces, the registration # is also printed on the inside of the door. Make sure you use the VIN number only. The registration number is not part of the VIN.

Welcome to Steel Soldiers. Wreckerman893 is right - the Georgia Rally is not to be missed.

I'm going to be taking photos in a few days and I'll post them. Thanks.

That was great!!!

A friend of mine has an M37, 1954, without a winch., ex-Army He bought it from the local fire department about 15 years ago and did a fairly nice job of restoration. It has very good paint, interior is good and no rust. The only issues are that everything on it leaks a little. It seems to...

Yes, it definitely has lube in it. When my problem first started and I lost 5th gear, I pulled the top off the transmission. A lot of teeth were missing on one gear. I'll definitely take pictures and post them once I get the old transmission out.

About fueling, I never shut down. Make sure you don't overfill the tank as you need an airspace for expansion. Many tanks are marked where the full level is. Another point is that the tank is on the passenger side. of a Deuce. When you go into a truck stop you will often have to remove the...

I took the Deuce to a friend that runs a truck garage today. It was very cold and I knew the Deuce was going to be hard to start. I put a magnetic heater on the oil pan for 4 hours before trying to start it. It refused to even fire until I gave it a shot of ether. It took 4 shots of ether...

Clinto, If you have more difficulties, you might try the main state office located at: Motor Vehicle Division 1200 Tradeport Blvd. Hapeville, GA 30354 Phone: (404) 968-3800 That's where I finally successfully received my Deuce title.

This thread is timely. Yesterday I opened the door of my Deuce to do some work in the cab and saw a new 2-inch diameter mouse hole in the middle of the passenger seat bottom. I was pissed! I'm going to try the peppermint oil. We live deep in the woods under oak trees with plenty of acorns and...

John Deere +50 in my Deuce and John Deere 5520 and 4600 tractors. Never a problem and very low oil consumption
