    5-ton air tanks on M35A2

    One of my air tanks had a pinhole leak due to the previous owners not draining the moisture out of the air system. I ordered 2 tanks and they sent me the tanks off of a 5-ton truck. The 5-ton tanks seem to have much larger fittings, so I'd need to get some brass bushings to reduce them to...

    Removing spare tire

    I need to remove the spare tire on my M35A2 in order to replace my air tanks. Does anyone know if the two bolts that hold the tire to the wheel to the winch bracket are reverse threaded? Just want to make sure which direction to turn before I go to town on them in a sorry attempt to break them...

    Bolting NV4500 to multifuel?

    Nothing wrong with my transmission in my Deuce, I was just curious if a NV4500 could be bolted to a multifuel and work with the rest of the driveline in a Deuce with the correct bellhousing. I could never see replacing the multifuel in my Deuce with another engine (can't get enough of that...

    Cool weather starting

    Does it hurt to use the manifold heater when its cool(ish) out but it was cold overnight? I can't see it hurting anything, but the TM's specify to only use it below a certain temperature. I don't think mine has a thermal switch on it because it sure made a difference when I started my truck...

    Cool weather starting

    Its been getting cooler here at night in NC, down in the mid 30s or so. I decided to drive my Deuce to work today :mrgreen:. This morning it was about 55* out and when I went to start my Deuce I cranked it for about 5 seconds or so with no luck. Even tried giving it a little then a lot on the...

    Larger air tank for a Deuce

    My Deuce has a small pinhole leak in one of the air tanks and I'd like to replace them. First of all, does anyone know off hand what the stock air tank capacity is? Has anyone tried mounting a larger air tank, like this one, Firestone Air Tank, 20 Gallon - (6) 1/2 NPT Ports, (1) 1/4 NPT Port...

    I'll let you know how I like this kit when it gets here.

    My Deuce is pulling a BP and Exxon Valdez at the same time in my yard

    Well, just sucked it up and ordered a spin-on oil filter kit. I figure since I drive my Deuce fairly often, having the anti-drainback filters will help prolong the engine life a bit anyway, and no more messing with these canisters either :-D

    My Deuce is pulling a BP and Exxon Valdez at the same time in my yard

    When I got the new oil filters they came with a couple different o-rings (not sure why it came with more than 1, I guess they are for different applications), I did replace the one that seals between the bottom of the filter canister and the engine.

    My Deuce is pulling a BP and Exxon Valdez at the same time in my yard

    So my Deuce is leaking some oil. It started when I first changed the oil a few months back. Torqued everything down, fired it up, oil came pouring out around the ring between the bolt head and the top of the oil canister. Torqued it down a little bit more and it looked like the problem was...

    HD Video of my Deuce

    I wanted to try out taking a HD 1080p video with this Sony Webbie camera, so what better to video tape than a Deuce? :) Make sure you click the box to change it from standard definition to 720p or 1080p.
