    First snow for my deuce

    Salafrae you are at the wrong end of the state. It snowed here today in North Georgia, about an inch where I live, but melted away by afternoon. My Deuce has a sick transmission, so I was only able to drive a short distance through the snow. I was afraid the trans would lock up. The trans...

    Difficulty Viewing Videos

    I can normally view videos on other sites without difficulty. For instance, I can go to the videos BIGCASE posted on the Florida SS site and view them fine.

    Difficulty Viewing Videos

    I can not view any videos posted on SS. Everything else works fine with the site. Is there a certain player that I need installed on my PC? I searched the forums and could not find any help.

    which generator mep002 or mep003

    I recently picked up a MEP-003A GenSet from GL mounted on a M116A2 trailer. I picked it up at Fort Jackson. It was in extremely good condition and fired right up. The trailer even had two new tires and a new cover. I found a new square-D 400 amp 4-pole manual transfer switch on e-bay for...

    Replace Rear Crankshaft Seal?

    I received the new rear engine seal and it looks quite large to me. I haven't pulled the transmission yet, so I don't know how large the seal should be. The new one I received is 6 inches O.D. and 4-7/8 inches I.D., approximately. Does this sound right?

    M35A3 floor cover

    What came on the floor of the A2? From what I remember from my days in the Army, the floors were plain OD paint. I've seen some since that appear to have some type of textured paint or sand added to the paint.

    Replace Rear Crankshaft Seal?

    After losing 5th gear in my Deuce, I'm replacing my transmissiion with a T/O unit., a Wolverhampton transmission I picked up from TWRIGHT. I decided to go ahead and replace the clutch, pressure plate and throwout bearing at the same time. The question I have is should I go ahead and replace the...

    What is the best engine they put in a Deuce?

    Pay off the loans, save and pay cash for a Deuce.

    Weight station Question

    I would definitely stop at all weigh stations. I have been chased down in Florida, and they were not happy.

    M116 Gen Trailer Cover

    I looked at the cover on my M116A2, which appears to be nearly new. I picked up the GenSet a couple of months ago. The data on my cover is: Cover, Fitted, Vehicular Body MFG. CAGE 3S151 SP0750-96-D-7443 NSN 2540-00-926-0993

    DeuceTtranny Problem

    Can you place the shifter forks in the 5th position with the cover removed? This sounds like a fork problem to me.

    my service shop is fired.

    I wouldn't let them touch it again. They will undoubtedly use glycol-based brake fluid to top off the mC, instead of DOT-5.

    Lost Fifth Gear

    I picked up another transmission to day from TWright in Rockmart, Ga. I plan to swap it out sometime next week. I will probably try to rebuild the old one and keep it as a spare.

    Lost Fifth Gear

    Bad news. Yesterday, I thought I didn't see any damage in the transmission. Today, when I can see better, one of the gears is damaged. I am definitely looking for another transmission now. I was hoping Elkhunter was right, but my luck never runs that way. Thanks everyone for your help.

    Lost Fifth Gear

    I'm trying to decide whether to try to rebuild the transmission myself, pay someone else to rebuild it or simply replace it with another one and hope it is a good one. Does anyone know anyone that rebuilds Deuce transmissions? I rebuilt a transmission from a Triumph TR3 once in the mid...
