    M185 M109 Box Electric Breakers

    Yeah they're in sad shape but all I can find locally for replacements is 15amp breakers and just wanted to make sure they'd be ok.

    M185 M109 Box Electric Breakers

    Well tore apart the fuse box and breaker box and got the wire sizes. The main fuse is 40 amp and has 6ga wire coming from it to the breaker box and the wire going the plug strips is 12ga. I'm only concerned about the one plug strip since I'm running my heater off that, the other I just have a...

    M185 M109 Box Electric Breakers

    Does anyone know what amp breakers are supposed to be, mine has 10amp and when I camp in the box in late winter my electric heater blows the breaker that goes to the power strip its plug in to. Would it be safe to up the breaker to a 15amp or are the wires too small. Thanks

    Nobody wants to insure my deuce!

    Got mine last november, I was 22 and I got mine insured through State Farm as a commercial vehicle. Only issue was they don't do commercial policies to people under 25 unless you have a non commercial vehicle insured with them. The way my agent was talking any vehicle over 10k GVWR has to be on...

    Anyone know Home Depot's new code?

    I'd be curious to see the paint codes to see if they match up to the ones I got made up from the old paint codes and got samples in the new low voc paint. And my samples say they are interior exterior so they must only have one type of sample.

    Anyone know Home Depot's new code?

    Well, I just went threw this and as far as I could tell all the did was add a L to each of the colorants so I got some mixed up and as far as I could tell the brown matched my old sample I had but I didn't have any black to match but it looks black on my top I just painted. Example here for the...

    Toggle Starter Switch OEM?

    My '88 has a twist switch but it isn't momentary something in it broke or they replaced it with a on/off switch, I just have to remember to flip it back to the off position. I should replace it but I don't think I'd like the cost of the replacement.

    Rim lock ring question

    Thanks for the replies, I got to looking at the rings and found a part number on them and its the same number on all of em. Good to hear I can use them since the ring on my spare tire was really pitted. John, I'll have 3 that would be what I consider good, my steer tires are pretty good looking...

    Rim lock ring question

    Well I'm in the middle of the fun task of breaking down 22 tires since I got 1100x20s on rims and some of the rings on my deuce rims are rusted to **** especially the spare. I wanted to know if the rings on the 5 ton rims, probably 900series since they're radials, are the same as the ones as the...

    Exterior Latex/Acrylic House Paints

    Stupid behr, well I went to get some of the green and brown but forgot they changed the paint. So looking at the green someone already matched up it looks like all they did was add a L to the colorants they use. So I got some samples made up and the brown was close enough to the brown I had made...

    Photos Of XM211 Excavator

    There is one of these for sale about an hour away from my house on craigslist but they say the engine's seized and its a Multifuel, I thought these were gas? I'm pretty tempted to buy it but between my M185 and my jeeps I have too much work right now and my parents would kill me if I showed up...

    Finding parts???

    I just recently got a deuce as well and have been trying to find a hard top for mine too. Trying to find one close so I don't have to worry about shipping it. I'm beginning to think I should just buy another deuce with a hard top and switch em. And I see from your location I'm not the only one...
