    Went to Mow the Grass

    Along about the middle of July, I got things together to go up to Central, where I've had a cabin for 40 some years. Its been a dozen years since I have been there, and thought the grass might need mowing by now. As it was, I found 5" trees in the driveway. Its pretty remote, so I had to take...

    INOP Inter Vehicle Cable

    Several days ago, I had occasion to recover a M 989 Ammo Trailer. I took a "new to me", but also, new looking Inter Vehicle Cable, as well as a light bar, in case things didn't work. I ended up, using the light bar, but the issue was the inter vehicle cable. The trailer lights are perfect...

    MDL Towbar Vs Medium Towbar

    Mostly, I am familiar with the regular old Medium Towbar and the various feet that are used on it, depending on the vehicle to be towed. Another towbar that I recently saw pictures of is MDL ISC69 (No.2512-100-0) rated at 44,000#. The question is, will the Medium Towbar feet fit this other...

    Cold Testing Steering Axle Boots - M35A2

    I just finished changing the the inner axle seals. They were leaking, but also the zipper boots were old, and had some small holes in them. Generally it was time for general maintenance on the steering axle. Here in the Northern Interior, all things can be subject to extreme cold, but...

    Bolster Trailer Recover & Use

    Late last winter, I won a bolster trailer at Elmendorf/Richardson. The Recovery was about standard. It was 0F in early March, one axle didn't have brakes, the lights worked, three tires were very low, and two were off the rims. I was able to re-seat the two with starting fluid and aired them...

    Accessory Plug

    What is the accessory power plug for, commonly found on the dash (with the hanging cap)? There is also one of these on my M37. What does the other half of the plug look like? Below, to fit in the existing hole, I'll install the 24 V cigarette lighter. Both my cell phone and GPS unit input is...

    LED Trailer Light Voltage

    I recently won an M101A2 trailer and towed it home using a light-bar on my pickup. Its handy to be able to pull it with the pickup (12 volts) as well as a 24 volt Deuce. I purchased two of the newer LED military lights (used), having read that they were "multi-voltage". They're made by...

    Immediately under the alternator is a filter canister. It has what I call, "an old time cartridge" that is washable. Its fuel. The fuel line comes from the tank, turns right and goes forward up the right side of the frame, to this filter canister. Is this a primary filter? From here, the...

    Silicone Brake Fluid

    On the dash, and near the master cylinder there are "Cautions" that read: Caution : Add Silicone Brake Fluid only! MIL-B-46176 I have read here, others speaking on DOT 3 & DOT 5 brake fluid, but not Silicone brake fluid. Is this very common in the Deuce & other MV's with the juice...
