I bought a M810 about 4 years ago and it took this long to get it ready for the road. So I gathered all my pictures, SF97, and Title Reassignment form and headed off to the PA DOT today. The rep there told me that they were unable to process/give a title due to PA not recognizing the...
Does anyone here know the spicer # and NSN for a 5 ton pto as used on the 800 series. Looking particularly for the rear facing shaft model but will take numbers for the two shaft model as well. Thanks, Rick
Does anyone have cross reference numbers for the seals for the deuce pto? The front output shaft seal on mine is shot. I'd like to have it on hand before I tear it down. Thanks, Rick
I know this has been discussed here in depth before, but I have been unable to find the post(s). I fired up a multifuel the other day and it began to run wild. I'm figuring the pump is stuck from sitting (about 10 years). I did however, discover a way to limit how long/fast it runs when you...
Does anyone have 2 or 3 1400r20 xl's 50-75% tread near to the central PA area they want to part with? I have 4; need two more to complete and maybe a spare. Thanks, Rick
I just watched a news segment on WHTM 27 (ABC) about a gentleman in York County, PA who recently bought a Deuce and and lives in a development. He had ONE complaint filed against him from a neighbor about his truck being parked at his house. The municipality cited him for having a...
I need to order a cab cover from GMA for my M810. I was on their website but could not find if their covers are the insulated ones. Anyone here get one from them and know? I'd like the insulated one as I use my truck in the winter. Thanks, Rick
Does anyone know how to identify whether an axle has the lockers in them by the numbers on the axle ID plate? My truck was bought by the govt as a M810 and then the water distributor was installed later. It only has the M810 plate on it. Thanks, Rick
I finally got the M810 running-the manual shut off was stuck shut. It seemed to run ok but when I snapped the throttle it went to wide open. I shut it down right away but it seems to have stuck in the pump. The shaft will turn and the return spring was on all the time so I'm sure it's...
What's the easiest way to bleed the 800 fuel system? Read the TM and it said to pump the air out with the hand primer. Seems like it would take forever as the whole system including the filter housing is dry.
Some time ago I picked up a spicer auxiliary transmission at Coleman's. It's painted CARC so I'm assuming it's military. It has the round drive flanges like a 5 ton driveline. It's a four speed; 1 OD speed, 1 direct, and 2 under. The OD is 75%. Anyone have any idea what it's from?
Sometime back there was a topic asking what we use our trucks for. Mine is a work truck but I have had it in some parades. Here's some pictures I took recently.
Ok, was it someone from here that was at Coleman's today with the singled deuce with Maryland tags? Sharp looking truck. I'm the guy with the the deuce and trailer that was being loaded when you walked past. Hung around awhile to try and catch you, but I had to leave to go to work. Thanks, Rick
In the next few months I will be getting 5 deuce parts trucks. The axles and transmissions are sold already. I will be parting out everything else. Cab parts; brade packs; gauges; engines and part; front sheet metal; spring seats; beds; air shift transfer cases and anything else. A few of...
Hello all. I managed to win a 5 ton on the last GL auction, now figurering out how to get it home. (It's listed as not running). I've tried to tow a M35A2 before without luck. The front wheels would just turn one way or the other and then drag. My towbar is nice and tight so I don't know...
