    Bleeder screw, Deuce air pack

    Hi folks! Merry Christmas!! By any chance, have any of you ever replaced the actual bleeder screw on an M35A1 hydraulic air pack? Know where I might find an exact replacement?? The silly TM doesn't show that bleeder as a replaceable part, although the bleeder for the wheel cylinder IS...

    How do you remove the back cushion on the passenger side??

    Before I break out the chain saw, how do you get the back cushion off the back plate on the passenger side bench in a deuce?? It looks like it should either slide up off a keyhole, or snap into something welded on the back plate. But I'm sure not seeing it. And I'd rather get it off in one...

    "Limited Slip" differential possible on a deuce?

    Just doing some brainstorming after watching a bunch of vids from past SS Rallys. Is there a way to "lock" the axles on a deuce to create a "positraction" or limited slip axle? I educated myself on locking/lockout hubs - I thought that was their function. Nope. A great idea for highway driving...

    My first M923A1!

    Won this yesterday! I'm excited! I plan to recover it on June 4. Hopefully it will make the 180 mile trip home without any problem. GL's description indicated that the truck was driven onto the lot. I've been looking through the TMs and posts here, but haven't been able to figure it out. Are...

    URGENT / I-81 North Exit 279

    Sgt. Risk is on the road. This is his son at the computer. Need phone numbers for members in Front Royal and the surrounding areas. His deuce and a half looks like it has a blown turbo. Sgt. Risk's cell is (434) 996-0730.

    Alternator brush source?

    I'm trying to find replacement brushes, or a rebuild kit, for the Prestolite alternator in the deuce. Amazing how hard that is to locate on the web!! Any suggestions??

    Voltage Regulator location??????

    Okay, I'm old, but not completely senile!! I've looked all over the truck and can NOT locate the voltage regulator!! I can't find anything that looks even remotely similar to the diagrams in the TM, let alone in the right location. My problem is the charging rate (generator gauge) has been...

    Windshield wiper arm assemblies?

    I bought some replacement windshield arm assemblies from SOMEONE last year, and for the life of me I can't remember who it was!! These are replacement arms that accept standard, after-market wiper blades. Anyone know who sells those?? Tanks!!

    Getting fuel out of underground tank??

    I've got 500 gallons of fuel oil in my home heating oil tank (which I no longer need the house). I'm having trouble getting it OUT of the tank to use in the truck. (We'll worry about "off-road diesel issues" later.) I don't have, nor can I afford right now, an electric pump that will pull it...

    Painting "embossed" letters

    I don't think "embossed" is the right term. "Engraved" might be more acurate. I'm talking about the lettering on items like the fueld shutoff and throttle handles on a deuce. Anyone have any good tips on painting those? (And "a tiny brush and a steady hand" doesnt' count!) :) Perhaps a...

    What size hose?

    What size is the tube coming out of the valve cover on an LDT 456-1D (I think) motor? It's the crankcase breather hose, I believe. I just need to add a rubber extension to the end of mine to bring it down close to the bottom of the engine compartment. The P/N is 10951257, NSN 2815-00-103-5770...

    Looking for a towbar

    Where would one get hold of a complete towbar. I quickly browsed some of the dealer sites, but didn't see any. Actually, I'll need them in NM, so... Anyone out there have one they want to sell? Ten Ju Belly Mush! ;)

    M105A2 Recovery Story

    Okay folks... I finally got it home! Seemed like it took forever to get the EUC to clear! But, first, the story of the trip. Sit back and relax, I'm sure you'll get a chuckle out of this! Rushed home Tuesday afternoon and picked up my buddy's Dodge Ram. He runs the local Line-X franchises...

    Advice for Mechanicsburg recovery?

    I'm heading up to M-burg this evening to recover my M105A2 trailer, at long last! Anything I should be aware of, either dealing with Mechanicsburg or recovering my first trailer? I'll be towing it with a good sized 4x4 truck, using temporary lights. I'll take a spare tire (from my M109A3)...

    Interior and engine colors

    Slowly working on cleaning up and painting the M109A3. I'm a little confused about what color to use for the interior of the cab. I'm going with the 3-color camo scheme, which is what is currently on the truck (just barely! It's horribly faded and was applied poorly years ago!). Anyway, I...
