    Deuce winch PTO pass-through

    Spinning the bronze winch bull gear at high speeds for long periods sounds like a recipe for creating bronze shavings.

    M38A1 maxes out at 35mph

    All M38s and M38A1 were 5.38-1 axle ratio regardless of build year. The T90 transmission ratios didn’t change either.

    Wanna hear a dumb idea?

    I think it’s ok. You see towbars set up like that all the time in wartime photos. Your 08 is looking real good btw, I really like that you have the cargo enclosure set up. That is a ton of scrounging and work.

    M274 Mule Information

    Here is a list of US Army (not USMC) mules that remained in service in the 1980's. As you can see, backing into a year of MFG is dependent on getting the registration number from the platform by carefully sanding with a DA sander. List courtesy of member Carnac.

    M274 Mule Information

    Unfortunate situation. On the side of the platform, is there any possibility that the registration number has been painted over, along with the service branch? You might have to do extremely careful sanding to find this. Typically people do not sandblast these like what happens with steel...

    Scissor Jack ID?

    M35A2 Bed Clearance Over Tires

    M38A1 stalls after warming up

    Where did trailer safety chains hook up on USMC jeeps?

    Did the instructions for the USMC kit require the bumperette rear tiedowns to be discarded? I don't recall that.

    Load shedding?

    Get a start time delay module for your A/C compressor, a 24 volt coil 30 amp contactor for the water heater, when your A/C thermostat calls for cool, the 24 volt signal needs to immediately drop out the water heater contactor, then seconds later the compressor contactor energizes.

    Clutch grabs, releases, grabs, releases when engaging. Hydraulic clutch modification?

    Sounds like the friction material is breaking up.
