    Bad day for an M52A1

    I went to the local fire department to check out an engine noise complaint on their M52A1 brush truck, it has a Deuce bed on it with a water tank. The truck wouldn't even turn over when I got there, it could be barred over about 90° either way, but then stopped solid. I was hoping for a simple...

    LED turn signal flash pattern

    LED turn signal flashing characteristics I've searched for a couple hours already, and didn't see this covered... With incandescent lighting, my deuce turn signals and hazards flashed from bright to off. With front incandescent, and rear Grote LED's they functioned the same. Now I have...

    TM 9-8024 online?

    With the old site down, is there anywhere online to view or download TM 9-8024? I've exhausted the site search & Google. Trying to help a friend by phone find a wiring diagram for the charging system on a '58 deuce with generator & external regulator. Dont see anything but alternator wiring...

    Spotted a nice gasser in a museum

    Saw this '53 Gasser W/W at Heidrick Ag museum in Woodland, CA Saturday, along with several other nice MV's. & lots of Ag tractors. Great museum to check out if you're ever in the area. Now I need to get a searchlight for my Deuce too ;) And a WW1 Holt armored tractor

    Heater mounting

    I found this picture today, never seen one mounted this way. I guess with the bleed valve where it is this makes sense, but is it common?

    My new Air Force truck

    Well, a re-marked IANG truck anyway:-D Not quite the right font, but I doubt anyone around town will notice:roll: This old girl will probably be green soon anyway with 45th markings. Picture kind of pixilates the characters, the edges are actually quite smooth.

    I haz whistle!

    I thought I could resist the urge, but I gave in & bought a C from Boyce. Now I have a wonderful whistle:-D I'm sure my neighbors are as pleased as I am. I had first won one on Ebay, but the C pictured was not what I got as promised. that guy gave me a full refund & paid shipping back too, wish...

    Just realized my seatbelts are wrong

    Just realized my seatbelts are wrong-need part! My MWO for seatbelts must have been done when the truck had a box seat. Just realized there are no tethers between the cab & spring seat, just the belts bolted to the seat. Anyone have a pair to sell? PM me if you do:!: Could also use one...

    Pre luber install

    I've been reading all the pre luber threads on here since before I won my deuce. Made a unit from a stripped-down fuel transfer pump first. It worked, but would not have enough torque to handle cold oil in the winter without a reduction drive. Just about said screw it & was going to set up...

    What NOT to do to old canvas

    So I had this black crap on my passenger seat back. I power washed the canvas with hot water & it looked real good & didn't affect the old material at all. I thought maybe a run through the washing machine would make it even cleaner so in it went. 20 min. later,opened the lid & found a pile...

    Deuce shelter

    My building has always been reserved for my machine shop, tractors & smaller toys and Ive never thought twice about keeping my vehicles outside in the weather. So why do I now cringe at the thought of my poor new deuce sitting out in the rain:roll: We got about 5 inches of rain this weekend &...

    Multifuel gauge positions always the same?

    Were the multifuel gauges always located in the positions the TM shows? Mine were different, switched 4 of them around today but it got me wondering how the Army mechanics could get this wrong if all deuces were the same throughout the years. I suppose some of them are lucky just to get the...

    Been lurking long enough....HI!

    I just discovered this site a few weeks ago after finding out GL was selling Deuces in Iowa. Well, I just won one! Been wanting an M35 since I first drove one in '87 & in a few weeks I'll have a 1970 Kaiser with a C turbo. I went down to preview these & narrowed my list down to 14 to watch;-)...
