    But clenching ride home

    So I had just picked up a 1009 and was flat towing it home. About 2 hours from the house I suddenly get jerked clear across to the other lane, as I try and ease it back over it jerks again. I finally get pulled over to the shoulder, expecting to find a flat tire. What I find was the front...

    M101 from E NC to W NC

    Need to get a M101a1 in Wilmington, NC transported to Franklin, NC or as close to there as possible. There is no immediate rush, seller has agreed to store it until I can make arrangements. Or if anyone can bring it to GA rally that would also be a big help.

    Stack muffler

    My muffler needs to be replaced on the 818, the flange has removed itself from the muffler. Was thinking of eliminating the stock muffler and going with a stack version. Seems this would help it breathe better, and might actually increase the power slightly. So to those that have done this...

    Im finally a member of the club!

    I have finally joined the 5-ton club! :D Brought my new toy home today, a 1970 M818 that has only 4k miles showing since 2002 depot rebuild. And judging by the looks of her I would say that the mileage is correct. Thanks to member treessw, who let me "steal" her from him. He had just finished...

    Bringing my M35A2C home tomorrow

    The time has finally come... after wanting one of these Air Forces deuces for so long I finally got the chance to make the 600 mile trip to bring mine home. I won it at Ft Jackson and it was picked up by jwaller, who inspected it and replaced the missing gauges. We are leaving here around 5am...

    Spin on filter conversion problem

    Just finished another spin on filter conversion, and had a little problem. The first one I did I used an extra 7" filter/seperator I had on hand from my wmo setup and always had clearance issues when changing out. So this time I used the shortest filter/seperator I could find that would work...

    2 M1009s from Shelby

    Finally got around to bringing my m1009s home from Camp Shelby. I am very impressed so far, very solid with only minor surface rust, and the best part... they both run/drive great! Both have around 50k miles showing, and 1 even came with some sort of radio still installed. Looks like a base...

There local PD had acquired it back in 04 with only 23k miles, and when I picked it up from them it only had 40k on it. Got quit a bit of surface rust, and the fiberglass is starting to show on the...

    Bypassed the FDC today

    Since I switched to 90% wmo I noticed the old girl was sluggish. Also noticed an oil leak right before or slightly after the switch. Started checking the oil level religiously and never noticed it going down. I assumed that with the large oil capacity that it would have to leak alot to be...

    My new M1009 has a mole

    Just brought home another M1009 with several strange "mods"! First it has some strange dome antenna on the roof that I have never seen before. Second, the spare tire carrier is on the rear. And third, someone has added a pintle hitch to the front using a block of steel that bolts to the...

    New filter pump

    Like many of you I like using a sbc oil pump for filtering/collection. Since its a gear pump its about as tough as they come, capable of chewing up small debris that might get sucked up. They are self priming, and with the bypass plugged up will pump until you blow a line or stall out the motor...

    Anyone ever try a "dewatering filter" ?

    Found a guy selling these on ebay, amazon, and a yahoo store. Thought about buying a couple, leave one in the deuce tank, and put one in my collection barrel. Anyone have any experience with these? Be great if they work...:roll: Dewatering filter for closed drums and tanks. Removes Water from...

    I am now an OIL BURNER!!!

    Finally got my filter system finished and tried it out tonight. I pre-filter the wmo through 2 pair of jeans, one inside the other with the ends tied into knots. Then I pump it using a sbc oil pump through a 10 micron wix filter, right into my truck. Added 20 gallons of wmo to about 10 gallons...

    Winch install questions

    Finally got around to putting winch on today, and I have a couple questions. The tie down/handle does not fit anymore. The holes on the frame are blocked by the extensions. Is this normal? Should I drill through the extensions or just leave them off? All other holes line up so i'm sure I have...
