Rebuilding the 200 series AirPak is possible with the 800 series AirPak rebuild kit. Two seals are different between the two series of AirPak. Of course the two seals that were bad in our AirPak.
The meat of the matter is the power piston seals are smaller in the 200 series AirPak. We had an...

In the immortal words of Andy Rooney.......Have you ever wondered what you can haul with a Deuce and a half? .........And.........How far away from civilization can you get?.......And........Why would you not want to bring some of civilization with you?
Well. For Elk hunting camp this year we...
OK........... So I just got back in the door from the excruciating trip we took to PA to get an M818 tractor. More details on that recovery when I have the pictures downloaded.
Keep in mind I, my Dad and my lady have been awake for 31+ hours straight now.
The topic I am bringing up here is...
So after 4 days and 2700 mile round trip we finally got the M-817 back to the farm. It was a running condition unknown truck so we were facing driving it or spending the $3600 to have it hauled. I did a bunch of research on SS before we left about the differences between the 2.5 tons and the 5...
I was succesful with an auction 12-28-09. I did not see any invoices in my email. I checked the GL website a few times and did not see any invoices but assumed that everyone was gone for the new years holiday like was advertised on their website. It required a EUC. I went through the tutorial...
These are some pictures of "Major Payne" hauling three 1500 lb. hay bales while hearding cattle and llamas. We were forced to sell the creek last summer and this is the last time we will have animals in the creek. 75 years of pasturing in that creek for this family......You all would be suprised...
Some pics of my recent recoveries. No trucks. Just trailers and such. No big problems. Just some adventureing. And mighty cold I would like to add. I would like to thank Glenn Minks with GL and Specialist Sandoval for all the help loading. I would also like to thank my dad and my lady. Thanks...
I get sick of busting up the stock headlights on my M-37's and now the deuce. This deuce already had bad headlights when I got it. I retrofit with some Hella replacement headlights that accept the H-4 hallogen bulbs and then I get the Hella 24 volt 70/75 W bulbs. I also get a headlight plug that...
Just a few pictures from our Huntin' Camp 09. The Deuce, "Major Payne", loaded for Bear.......and Elk.......and Deer. Stuff for 8 guys and 10 days. The cook tent, white wall tent. My GP Small with cozy liquid fuel heater, AKA the R2heatyou unit. Gotta love Star Wars. My friends outfitter tent...
O.K. I read the other posts about deuce and a half trailers and I am still cornfused. I know an M-101 trailer was originally produced for the M-37 and then modified/upgraded to use behind the modern 3/4 ton size vehicles and humvees. Also that there are gen set trailers that don't have the...
So I went to Las Vegas with my girlfriend a few weeks ago and found 100dollarman.com (Mark) on SS. He had an add with tons of tires and a bunch of trucks and trailers out of Lucerne Valley California. Only about 190 miles from Vegas. I thought we might get boared after a week in Vegas, we're not...
Just a few pictures of the deuce on the trail to hunting camp. August, 2009. The trail is made for Jeeps and ATV's. We managed to squeeze through with only a few back up's on the tight corners. My friends were seriously suprised. Then they insisted that we take all the gear to camp in the...
I saw all the hubub on the SS site about the JATonka filters and decided to get a primary fuel filter adaptor cause my primary is leaking. I called John and set up how to order. Great guy. Very personable. I sent him a check last Saturday. Subsequently I have not heard back, the check has not...
I was looking through some adds that showed a 1994 M35A3 with a dual chamber master cyl. Is it possible to install that system instead of doing dual single chamber master cyl. and dual air packs? It would seem to be more simple than a dual single setup. I thought the more experienced guys here...
I would like to thank the people that have done and do research and list part numbers on this web site. It has been a big help to me already. I just bought my first Deuce and it lost some power on the way back to the farm. I wanted to do some P.M. and needed the part numbers for the filters. I...
