    MEP-003a No voltage

    I currently have no electricity in the house and with the spotty Internet I can get from my cell phone (that I didn't charge last night...), I don't have the ability to download a manual or large files. I need electricity to get my heat up and running right now and I'll need water when the kids...

    I'm scrapping a MEP-004a...what to keep from it

    I have a MEP-004a that has, what I was told, a locked up motor. I've never seen it run and don't know if any of it works at all. I've got $250 into it so far. I also have a brand new motor with all of the accessories for it sitting in a garage that I've got about $1500 into. I don't know if...

    Wiring MEP-003a and MEP-004a to my house

    I have a working MEP-003a that I have not yet used to power anything larger than the two 120v outlets could handle on the control panel. In light of this hurricane we're currently being hit with, I have no problem hooking up a safe lockout panel to run stuff with a 25' cord from my MEP-003a...

    MEP-004a rebuild/refresh

    Didn't see the TM's for a MEP-004a at the top of the forum. Anyone have a link to download them? Through someone at work that knew I was into military stuff, I picked up a MEP-004a with ASK on a trailer for $750 because he was about to scrap it and that's about what he would get scrapping it...

    4 cylinder Hercules Diesel from Sacramento to MD

    I won an ebay auction for a D198ER in Sacramento and I need to get it over here to Maryland. It's professionally packaged on a pallet and I can off-load a pallet here. Let me know if anyone is making a run across the states in the two weeks that can bring it over, or at least close.

    Towing a M105 with my Chevy Suburban 1500

    This past week I built a beefier hitch to attach my pintle hook to so I could be a bit safer towing the 105's. Robert (M816_someday) helped me out quite a bit and we did the work in his shop. He taught me how to weld during the process, so some of the welds are his and some are mine. All of...

    M101 Lunette ring size

    I'm going to be picking up a couple of 101's soon and was planning on using my Suburban for the recovery. If I were buying a plain old pintle hook, I've already discovered what size to buy and I've even discovered what height the trailer tongue should sit at. Since I still need to buy normal...

    Having a fuel tank made

    For the bobber, I'm going to use a custom fuel tank in the bed. It will need to be made by a professional welder because I'm not that good. Should I have it made from aluminum or steel? This tank will require more metal than contained in a single 4x8 sheet of material, so I'm probably looking...

    I started bobbing too

    I have a good running, working deuce, and then I have a parts deuce with a nice frame and a broken axle housing. I'm bobbing parts deuce and swapping my motor/trans into it. Phil (python86) has been helping me out A LOT with an extra hand, his OCD-ness at measuring and remeasuring, tools, and...

    Finally got my deuces home!

    Thanks to John Waller for delivering them after a lot of hangups and plans that didn't quite work out. Here are my accidental wins from GL a few months ago. One runs and drives and is in EXCELLENT condition. No issues whatsoever that I've found so far. The hood is dented in like someone...

    Looking to borrow a deuce towbar - MD

    I'm wondering if anyone in the MD area has a towbar I could borrow to do a possible recovery from SC.

    22.5 Rims on deuce

    I've been searching and reading all day. So far I've surmised that 22.5" rims work just fine on a deuce. You can run tubeless tires on 22.5" rims. There are lots of 22.5" options for tires, and much better prices than tubed 20" tires. The deuce has a 6 lug bolt pattern as opposed to the much...

    EUC sent to Battle Creek - Event 5358

    So far the process has been pretty painless. My PayPal payment was declined for some reason, but one quick call to GovLiquidations customer service fixed that by providing the credit card # for the same bank account my PayPal is linked to. That same day, my payment cleared. I had to make one...

    Eastover, SC to Maryland

    I won two deuces from the latest GL auction in Eastover. One of them absolutely needs trailered (broken rear axle). The other may or may not be driveable. It looks like it's in nice shape from the pictures, but you know how that is. Both of them say "running condition unknown." I am roughly...

    driving with one rear axle

    I won a deuce on GL with the rear-most axle broken. After I get it off of the lot, if I take off the rear axle and drive shaft between the axles, can I at least tow, if not drive the deuce unloaded? I won a 2nd deuce at the same location that appears to be in great shape, and that might end...

    what tools do I need

    Ok, I realize this is a bit of an oddball specific request, but please bear with me. I am 2.5 hours away from this deuce I'm working on, so it's not like I can run outside and see what tools I need. I need a list of tools I will need to take with me so that I can accomplish the following...

    Deuce caretaker

    Howdy all. I do not own a deuce yet. I will probably get one in a year or so when finances work out better for me. I certainly do want one. Anyways, my buddy volunteers at a non-profit camp in the back woods of WV. He mows and does other stuff for the property. He mentioned to me that the...

    GL Deuces

    I see a whole bunch of deuce and a halfs for sale through GL an hour away from me. I'm new to this whole thing, but how pricey do they get before the auctions end? Are there usually any problems with getting GL purchased deuces titled? I'd love a deuce and a cheap one in reasonable shape...

    WMO filtering idea

    Howdy, newbie here: I don't have a Deuce yet, but soon hopefully :) Anyways, I had an idea for a WMO filter system that seems fairly simple in my mind, but I'm sure someone will show me why it won't work. Put waste oil in a 55 gallon drum set up on legs or some sort, or cinder blocks even...
