I find it amazing what one with the M66 gun mount brings!!

I have been observing that fewer deuces are in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. And the prices on the ones left for sale seem to have risen. What are the deuces in your area selling for or priced to sell for?

I will post pics tomorrow with the M2HB on the machine gun mount.

My deuce has been moved once in three years. To my new smaller home after my wife passed. It has been started once since 2015. My son is running for political office and wanted to drive it in the parade tomorrow. Brakes in good order. Check. Batteries started the engine. Check. Tires...

I have not posted in some time as I have been adjusting to a new life style after the death of my wife in 2014. But, my son is running for the District Clerk's Office of Denton County, Texas, and he decided to drive the deuce in the parade on the 4th. My outside rear tires are cracked from the...

My son drove retired Col. Robert Modrzejewski, MOH, Vietnam, in the Medal of Honor Parade on Saturday in Gainesville, Texas.

Checking out all the fluids, especially brake fluid. No rush. We went to the Medal of Honor Parade in Gainesville, Texas, yesterday. My son drove Col. Robert Modrzejewski, MOH, Vietnam, in the parade. The M151 was outfitted with the M60, an M16 and a M79 Grenade Launcher.

With the death of my wife, moving from our home to a smaller location, engaging in Deuce time went to **** about two years or so ago. Went into the backyard today and fired it up. I could not believe the batteries were red hot the motor turned over rapidly and it soon got to running just fine...

To be perfectly honest, I have yet to drive the tractor. I got it a couple of years ago in trade and it has mostly sat or been driven in parades by friends. So, I have yet to see the data tag! It may get some use pulling an M113 around, but that will be later this Spring.

Really? Wow!

So, I either have 18 quarts or 22 quarts oil capacity. I see the M939A1 has 22 and the M939A2 has 18 quarts. My M931A2 then would require 18 quarts? Still confusing but I will catch on. I promise.

Found that out with the deuce!!

Thanks.

How much oil in the engine? How many filters? What else do I need to know about changing the oil??

When I joined here in 2007 I did not know crap about military vehicles. Five vehicles later I have learned some. I remember the Longest Day when the beach commander tells some Brits to get their Bren carrier moving. They said it would not start so the beach commander took his walking stick...
