Hey guys, My uncle bought a M1009 from one of the local towns, and I volunteered to help him get it going. I picked it up today and the guy said it had a broken starter bolt. Once I got underneath it and dropped the starter, I found a huge issue. The remaining starter bolt is larger than the...

Hey guys, I've been looking for a long time and it seems I've finally found a deuce. It's a 1970 AMG M35A2 with 1995 overhaul tags. It's in pretty nice shape, but the guy I'm buying it from has the brake line blocked off to the rear axle because of a right rear wheel cylinder leak. There's a new...

Hey guys, I'm still looking for a deuce, and there are a few up for auction not too far away. A couple of them are listed as "year and manufacturer unknown". They have pictures of the data plates and sure enough, there is no manufacturer listed, just the NSN and vehicle number fields are filled...

Hey guys, I'm still on a quest for a good deal on a first deuce. I've been looking for about a year and just barely missed a few nice ones. Now I'm looking at 3 that seem to be pretty good deals, an M35A1, an M35A2 and an M211 gasser. I haven't been to look over any of them yet. I'm awaiting...

I tried searching for this and didn't find anything, probably because I don't really know what to call it. I have a 1943 M5 generating set that I'm tearing down for partial restoration. The cowl and panel doors have a canvas gasket material around the outside. It's about 5/8" wide and held in...

I'm planning a restoration on an M5 generator set from 1943. These were used to power the director for the Bofors antiaircraft gun. I want to use it for power, but I don't want to have to modify it if possible. In order to build an outlet box for it without modifying the gen set I will need to...

The title pretty much says it all, I need a copy of TM 9-1616. This is the depot level maintenance manual for the M5 generator set used with the M5 director and Bofors 40mm AA gun. Electronic or paper would be fine. If anyone has one they would like to sell or could point me in the right...

Hello all. I'm looking around for my first large MV. I have a question about one of them. Would a 1970 Kaiser-Jeep M820 5-ton with a Cummins engine be a multi-fuel or diesel only? Would the Cummins be the original engine or a later model replacement (the ad didn't include the engine model)? I've...

Hello all. I'm shopping for my first Deuce and I have found one at a good price, but the guy said it needs a wheel cylinder repair. I have no problem fixing it, but if I have to have it towed that will definitely affect how much I'm willing to pay for it. Around here the tow companies want $300...

Hello all. My name is Drew and I'm looking for my first MV (at least the first one that will belong to me and not Uncle Sam). I'm looking in the direction of getting an M35A2 and a NC fuel blenders permit to take advantage of some local auto shops and their used oil tanks. I've already found a...
