Hey NickD
As I remember before the mule sat after my illness. The engines power was erratic and it started losing power then would not run.
After further inspection, charging the battery, finding corrosion on the cables and cut/replaces the terminal connectors with no power to the engine. I...
Im looking for someone close to new york/new jersey that rebuilds military mules. I had my A5 working great then I believe the ethanol free gas i used was not ethanol free, fuel pump crapped out. I used to be in better shape and would have done the rebuild myself. After having a PE and 2 heart...
S.S.
Ive been working off and on for two years on an M274A5 I picked up in Boston Mass. (two young children, no extra time) first time opening a Mule up.
Finally completed the engine work and she runs great! took her out for a brief ride and everything works the way it should.
Im about to change...
I am planning to disassemble 6 HEMTT wheels, cut out the centers with a plasma cutter, instal new bolt on centers and mount them on my Deuce.
I ran into a problem disassembling the second HEMTT wheel. Let all the air out, removed all the nuts on the perimeter of the wheel (16) and I can not...
OK, I found that the lights can be operated without turning the accessory switch on. " service manual explains it" I have turn signals, brake lights but the parking lights come on for three seconds then go out and stay out. I wiggled the harness all the way up past the spare tire and no...
This is my first M35A2C and Im so proud to own it, drive it and talk to curious people. The service manual is kind of difficult to navigate compared to the H1 S.M. I have a basic understanding of electrical systems but no experience with the Deuce's. Anyone ever run into this problem? "Driving...
Picked up my Deuce Sunday, went out monday to look everything over, noticed most of the hose clamps needed tightening. Tightened them up and took the truck out, got it up to temp to make sure the hoses did not leak. While looking the engine over I noticed that the head gasket had a small amount...
The plates C&C is making are 3/8" grade 50 steel and will bolt up to the 16 bolts on the HEMTT wheel. There will be some modifications made. Ill post pix of the job in a couple weeks.
I appreciate all the help and suggestions. Went to another DMV and they titled and registered the Deuce with no problem. One thing I am learning when it comes to DMV, Logic is thrown out the door and things can just depend on a supervisors mood that day. Thanks again!
Data plate was removed for 10 minutes, a photo copy was made of it, the data plate was then put back where it belongs. DMV will not accept the photo copy.
Well, another lovely day at DMV (N.Y.) Im in the process of buying my first Deuce and DMV will not accept
a photo copy of the ID number on the data plate which was removed by the owner and photo copied. They want a "Rubbing" of the vehicle ID number and I dont have one. Does anyone know if there...
Thanks for the feedback welldigger, I really wanted to go w/ the A3's the main reason being that they were original and no modifications were needed. no weak links involved. but the best price I can get so far is $400 per wheel. I found 6 HEMTT/395 for a great price and I have a friend with...
Im thinking about singling out my deuce and can't decide what to go with. Anyone have experience with HEMTT wheels with bolt on adapter plates? and 395/85R 20 goodyears on the 6x6?
I also have m35A3 wheels which are expensive, and the 395/85R20's as the other choice.
Im a little worried about...
