    M35A2 Hillbilly Trailer?

    Sweet!! Two questions, what did you get for it if you don't mind me asking, and did you consider welding the spring hangers directly to the bed frame rails to make a super low profile trailer? I've kicked this trailer concept around myself for a long while.

    Flat towing a Tractor

    I flat towed a similar weight truck behind the tractor (unladen) deuce for 30 miles at 40 mph max. It was early Sunday morning so little traffic, and I would not have gone if it were raining. Lane changes are a 1/2 mile long affair. I would say reasonably safe, but still white knuckle.

    Single Piece Drive Shaft on XLWB 5-tons

    Let's see, the front engages when the rears spin faster than the front, with the brownie, the rears would be spinning at what 30% faster with .7 overdrive roughly, the front would engage at the non-overdrive shaft speed, resulting in ??? Most likely busted sprag. You would have to change...

    M885 Hidden grease nipple and light question

    On the hub between the wheel studs you will see a 3/4 hole, look thru there and spin the rotor until you see the zerk pointing at you, I think it is 3:00 position. Sounds like both headlamps have high filiment burned. You will find the 880s are reliable, high speed, simple, and very...

    Single Piece Drive Shaft on XLWB 5-tons

    Somewhere the automotice engineers have a little book that says when the driveshaft is over x long, you need a pillow block. Heck, yours had a pillow block and it threw the driveshaft anyway! I would put it back stock.

    Opinions needed on screwed up GL auction

    Is it true that when you use the SF97 online submission, it "auto populates" the VIN (ID#) field? I have had to fill that in every time. I always thought as long as you made a purchase, you could get creative with the VIN . . . :wink: Here is my practice: I print out the pictures of the...

    What is the best way to get a title in someone elses name (PA)?

    SF97 just ran over 2 weeks for me. The title service might be less of a headache for you, let the buyer do it and offer a credit of the fee on the sale price. Might be cheaper than the $60 GL fee plus the DMV fees. International Title and Broadway Title seem to be the big 2, charging around...

    Deuce multifuel engine damaged piston burned/ overheated!!

    If you had a timing problem, the other cyls would also have issues. This has to do with your low power problem you started out with. Was the engine missing when it was running? Were all the pushrods on the rockers when you took the engine apart? If the engine were overfueled, it would have...

    Hamilton Machine Museum, Petal, MS

    Has anyone been to this place lately? Petal is just north of Hattisburg, MS. Back in the 90's there was a running B-25 there and a C-47, as well as various military trucks, and LOTS of military airplane parts. The web says Mr Hamilton Sr has passed on, but Jr remains to carry on the legacy...

    m715 brush truck rebuild

    I tried, and succeeded, that is, with rebuilding the 302 in my M135 deuce. College algebra, not so successful. This was at a little old skool in College Station, TX. Back to your original question, of course I would go for it. I would use the automatic for a brush truck, so you...

    Battery Box

    Please elaborate??? I have been buying parts from Memphis for 27 years and always have been very pleased, sure they are expensive, but maybe you have not been to a Cat or Cummins parts counter lately. They have the parts, and when you are using army trucks in your business and you have...
