    Increasing the air intake in a deuce

    Has anybody tried to increase the air intake capacity on the air filter housing on a deuce by adding a second hole for a mushroom cap under the hood, or maybe a second one out of the side of the hood?? I put a Banks intake on my Jeep Wrangler when I got it, and it made a HUGE difference, just...

    OH Anybody have USAA for their military vehicle?

    I'm in Ohio and have had USAA for my regular vehicles and home for nearly 30 years, but I've never insured a military or antique vehicle with them. I'm looking to buy an M35 that's currently registered as an antique, just wondering if any of you have any experience with them insuring your MV's.

    24v battery charger/jumpstarter

    Anyone know of a reasonably priced 24v charger with enough juice to start a deuce with a failing battery? I'm going to sell my deuce (as a parts truck) but it doesn't have enough juice to start it. I want to be able to have it run for any potential buyer, but I don't want/need an expensive...

    Flow rates when filtering

    Quick question. How do you adjust or determine flow rates when using a gravity flow centrifuge? Is there a certain orifice you use, or do you just use a valve and just guesstimate?

    WMO users in Ohio?

    Just was thinking about how nice it would be to have a centrifuge, but I just can't justify the cost with MAYBE using a couple hundred gallons every year once I get the deuce up and running. But I had a little brainstorm. This is completely in it's infancy, but I was wondering if it would be a...

    Budd lug nut question

    I took off the duals to go through the axles and paint, but on one wheel, I was taking the nut off and it stuck on the end of the cap, and then the cap came off, leaving it stuck in the hole in the rim. I'm thinking I might have to cut it off to get it out of the rim. Does anyone know if these...

    Duda sock filters

    Does anyone here use these? I bought some 4x16" ones (10,1, and 0.5 micron) and the disk they fit on and I'm trying to figure out the best way to use them. For simplicity sake, I'm just plan on using gravity to provide pressure. I'll have a reservoir at the top made from a 4" PVC pipe, that...

    Mixing WMO & WVO, recommendations?

    I have aquired about 25 gallons of WVO and about 70 of WMO and I'm planning of filtering it to use in an M35A2. I'm still accumulating it as well. I've tried looking up any previous threads on the subject, but really couldn't find any that answered my questions about doing this. First off, I...

    in tank fuel pump plugs

    Does anyone know if anybody has just the electrical plug end for the in tank pump on the deuce? Mine is pretty ragged, but I just need the plug end, the harness is ok for now.

    Anybody interested in steps for a deuce?

    I have guy at a machine shop giving me a price to make some new steps for my deuce. I asked him to use a heavier gauge steel than the original. They'd be the same size, but they might not need the angle reinforcement on the bottom, which is where they tend to rust out anyway. He's also going...

    How many gallons of paint do I need?

    I want to try and get my deuce painted this year. I plan on using Rapco paint, sprayed with an HVLP sprayer outside. I'm thinking 2 gallons of primer, and 2 of OD green. Is that going to be enough? There's no bed on it now, and I'll paint the bed when I get it. I probably won't do inside...

    Non running M35 value

    I saw an ad for a non running M35 W/W, looks to be in decent shape body wise from the photo. No bows or tarp that I can see, and doesn't look like there's a soft top. It's also missing the grill. Of course the seller didn't give much info on why it wasn't running, but did say there was a...

    Rubber mudflaps

    Is anyone selling the rubber mudflaps for deuces? Or are there any commercial ones that fit? I haven't seen any surplus ones for sale.

    What is this fuel tank from?

    I got a pretty nice fuel tank, it looks like a deuce tank, but it's not the same size as the one on my A2. My tank is 39.5"long x 15.5" tall x 22" deep. The new one I got is 31" long x 17" tall x 26" deep. They both look the same, just different measurements. The new one also has late 60's...

    Military modifications to M35's

    I'm just wondering what modifications you all have seen done to the Deuce's by different military units. I'm not talking about accesseries listed in the TM's, or Gun Trucks, just the little things units did to adapt them to whatever mission or job they did. I know our shop deuce in the maint...

    Where did the "Conversations" forum go??

    I don't see a "Conversations" forum anywhere, did it get relabeled, split up, or did I just miss it? Seems like there's more trouble with this new site loading than with the old. :?

    Holes in back of cab

    Now that the bed is off of the truck, I noticed that there's a couple of what look to be splice plates on the back of the cab on either side. They're bolted on, but there's holes that obivously have never had a bolt through them as the paint is not worn at all. Where these holes for...

    LD 465 question

    My deuce has an LD 465 in it that was rebuilt in '86. It now has a C turbo in it. My understanding is that LD's did not have turbo's. I really don't think any of the previous owners did anything at all to the truck after it was surplused. My question is, did they add the turbo during the...

    Fine thread bolts vs coarse

    Are you guys replacing broken/stripped bolts with the same sized fine thread bolts, or are you switching to coarse? Fine thread are much harder to find off the shelf, although I do have a Fastenal fairly close. Sometimes they only offer stuff in large quantities, and they close at 5. I assume...

    Anyone know what this part is?

    Found this in with a bunch of stuff that came with the truck when I bought it. This doesn't look familiar to me, just wonder if any of you recognize what it is. I'm thinking maybe a part to the cab? It's approximatly 5' long.
