While I am typing this note, I noticed the town is working out one of its Military trucks about 100 yds away from me directly accross the street.
Looks like a 5 ton to me, but I'm not so familiar with the 5 tons. They have about 6 ex military trucks (2.5 ton and 5 ton) usually use them for...
The $820 M109A3 Resurrection Update - Transfer Case Issue
This is a story of a $820 GL Deuce I won on auction last November (2010).
Doghead was kind enought to do a retrieve & store for me until the snow went away this spring. Doghead brought it down to my place in April and I thought it was...
I thougt I would pass on
doing some / browsing shopping and noticed "free shipping" for all UPS ground orders this weekend, so I stocked up on Aervoe OD semi gloss - checked out and yep free shipping. (no hazmat fee for more than 12 cans either :-D) thought I should pass on.
Spray Paint
Just curious - I've been running waste (very clean) modern transformer oil with success in my M35a2 Multi at a mix of about 50% with commercial diesel - The oil is very clean, sometimes just clear,colorless and filtered but is a little thicker than diesel - it seems to run great though.
Do...
FYI - Members looking for M135 M211 GMC Deuce parts. A local Deuce is at a scrap yard in Clarkson, NY. Deuce is clean looking with a non original stake bed on the back for farm use. Is complete with a original winch set up and good tires. Don't know if its running.
Contact info beow...
I just picked up an old take off winch from what was likely an REO studebaker 1952 M35 gasser.
The winch looks very similar to the std M35A2 winch but the drum lock latch looks different, has a circular knob, and it doesn't appear to be spring loaded, Not sure if if its supposed to spring...
Background:
I have a 1971 M35A2 C turbo, Love the truck and its a great runner with no problems. Its a no winch truck. I occasionally work it in our farm fields or to haul something like firewood or neighbor needs. Our fields drain pretty well, not usually very muddy, even in the spring and...
I won a nice M105 trailer on GL (my first); I plan to make a 150 mile trek (300 mile round trip) to pick it up with my M35A2 at Ft Drum.
I plan on brining all the necessaries for a deuce recovery for possible breakdowns, cell phone, money, tools, etc. But Is there anything special to...
Does anyone have a deuce tow bar they would be willing to lend or rent out for a short recovery in Western NY?
Have a great running deuce and need to pick up a friends non-running deuce from Ft Drum when this GL "trucks on hold " iissue gets cleared up.
Anyone in upstate / western NY got a...
Did a search and didn't come up with much info.
Has anyone tried using a standard canvas tarp as a bed top cover?
I have a great camo cover, but have a tan deuce, and it doesn't look right. I found a local place that has tan canvas tarps in various sizes ifor like $55 thinking one might...
I've had my first deuce for about 1 month now and love it. I have experimentally run some diesel and hydraulic fluid and it has run fine.
My source for cheap (nearly free) hydraulic fluid offers good clean stuff that is very clear and requires a little filtering. So I am entused about using a...
I've done a search, but didn't come up with much - just wanted to know what is a good (and safe to the deuce) way to efficiently remove the grime in the engine compartment. Can you steam clean or pressure wash with some simple green or use other degreaser or is it just best to leave it alone...
Hi,
I am a new member and ever since I was a young lad (now I'm 40) I wanted a Deuce for no real reason other than they were so fascinating.
Now I have some farmland and can actually have a place to keep a truck and run and play with it So I am seriously interested in taking the plunge...
