What drill bit size would you use for cut outs? Trying to wrap my head around what scale size you're working with. The cut-outs are oval so does a guy use 2 drill bits, hit the center hole with a 1/8" then oval the corners? It's so inspirational and interesting jumping in here to see what...

Is that a single axle Deuce in your photo? Can't see behind the blade but that cab looks familiar. A young girl showed up that really needed a firetruck. It's gone to some real nice folks that have a fleet of MV's in the family and the preservation will continue. We were looking for a head...

That reminded me of a post from Stan Leschart from 13 years ago. It doesn't make sense for Brad's case unless something changed/bounced/broke or fell back in place with the way they did fuel pick up in the tank. Maybe someone that puts an external fuel pump on in the future and has similar...

It would be hilarious if after all this effort it was just an exhaust / muffler restriction or a loose ground wire. We'll get this figured out,.......ain't no deuce gonna just sit there or fail to show up at a parade when the veterans need it. Page 188 para 111 on the 9-8024 has the...

Where did we put the fuel volume check for the G749? I see the trouble-shooting par 133, pg. 244, where it states "Pressure should be 2 1/2 to 3 pounds". ....TM 9-8024.....but that volume test eludes me. It's a simple test where you turn on the fuel pump, fill up a measuring jug over a...

That transmission looks like it might have been the 'high dramatic' transmission and not the hydro matic. That damage is pretty wild. Do you have replacement parts? I poured through all kinds of hydro and hydra dramatic data looking for a similar failure and it's elusive. We've seen...

I drove down the street to get mine. Any automotive store should carry them. I just did a search for"fuel pressure regulator 3.5psi" to see what's online and found a bunch cheaper than what I paid. Summit has some $200.00 regulators so looks like you can spend somewhere between $31.00 and...

It's real nice to see everything on one thread instead of adding a new thread for each challenge. You're much easier to find all on one thread. Solve the fuel pressure question with a regulator and gauge. If you didn't need one before it's odd it could be a problem unless there's a new...

Will ya get a whistler as we welcome you back? Let's listen to what that whistler welcome would sound like.

We found out G749 points can be fine for a long time. Then one day, on the way home from a parade, they break at the mounting screw. It still ran and made it home but kinda had the intermittent power you described. Fuel cap set on fording, screwed down too hard, could cause problems. Most caps...

You're kinda new around here so welcome aboard. Sending Davyboysmith a Private Message PM is a great start. If you're navigating the site for the first time and can't find something, let us know. The peanut gallery will be screaming for pictures and I am tracking vin/ serial numbers / unit...

Those parts look identical to the G749/ M135 seats. There's even a little fold up tab hanging there to lock the troop seats in the up position. I can't say I looked close enough at the CCKW seats but I will now. Maybe they didn't change much. The ones in the pic below are from the G749, 50's...

You're kinda new around here so welcome to the adventure. We do these long 80 mile parade runs and a cummins M37, with a bed in the back would be a great platform. Get er' done. There's one up north here that was done so well it looked factory. I'll look for my pictures. That "Cummins M37"...

While we're on the topic of new things in packages, you fellas were talking about some double seal style type seals. Anticipating that someone, sometime in the future will re-store....or in many case, re-re-store one of these old deuces, we should keep our eyes open for the other perishable...

The index in these books must have made sense to someone. Found an outrigger photo which looks close so hope we have something.
