Does anybody have any experience with these antique road flares aka “smudge pots”? I bought 2 brand new ones at a swap meet a couple years ago and painted them up nice and planned on using them when I go camping. They work nice to keep the 'skeeters down and to light the area around the camp. I...

The heater blower motor resistor burned out a little while back in my Deuce. I researched a replacement but did not find anybody that had one. Since wire wound resistors are not usually expensive, I decided to see if Newark had a similar resistor. I found a direct replacement and all I had to do...

It all started when I noticed some sprayed oil on my oil filter housings that was coming from the air compressor filter intake. I have the single cylinder air compressor by the way. My first thought is that it is a newer compressor and how could it be worn out? I didn’t think it was. The other...

I have a seat from a M35A3 which has the high back to it. My problem is that the adjustment knob is broken off. The shaft itself broke right where the knob does on (the knob got hit when the seat dropped) and I need a replacement. Also the upholstery is faded pretty bad and I would like to get...

Binghamton, NY to Livonia, Michigan I have a trip planned out to drive my Deuce from Binghamton, NY to Livonia, Michigan over easter. I am not sure all what I will bring out with me yet, but I will have my M105A2 in tow. I might have room to bring something out for somebody if I have room for...

I checked the front axle brake shoes and they are worn down more than the rear axle brake shoes. I would say there is only about .010 inch left before it hits rivets. When I checked the brake shoes on the rear axle they still look great. Its hard for me to estimate how many miles are on the...

I wanted to post this thread showing how I fabricated up an auxillary battery box for my 12 volt system on my Deuce. I have a Delco 10SI alternator mounted above my factory 24 volt alternator to run 12 volt accessories. My design was to have a dedicated 12 volt system separate of the 24 volt...

Does anybody know how to repair / fix, vinyl soft tops or cargo covers? My dilemma is last winter the mice chewed a hole in my cargo cover for the deuce. I was so, so angry because that cover was mint. It was almost brand new. I thought there were two holes in it, but when I last looked, I only...

I looked on all the threads on here and looked in the TM to see how the parking brake cable gets routed. When I bought my deuce, the parking brake cable was routed above the transfer case mount/bar on the driver’s side. this causes a sharp angle right where the sleeve of the parking brake cable...

I backed out of my parking spot yesterday at work and heard what seemed to be a gear grinding. A gear grinding a little like how something would sound if not engaged all the way. It did not in any way effect how the truck backed up, nothing shuttered at all and no loud crunching. I got scared...

I thought I would make a new thread covering my electric wiper installation in my deuce. This only covers the wiring portion of the installation. When I bought the A3 cab for my deuce, I noticed they just drilled a hole in the middle of the dash and ran the wires that way. Well I think that...

I was wondering if there is a difference in soft tops for whatever contractor is building them for the government. The reason I ask is on both corners of my cab above the windshield has an opening large enough to let water in I’m sure (have not driven it in a downpour yet). I don’t believe my...

The Syracuse Nationals are July 19-22. I am driving my M35A2 to the nationals with my '23 Ford Roadster in the back. After the roadster is out, i will have my swimming pool liner in the back. its usually a hit. ;) anybody else planning on going? How about you Doghead? Bring your M819 and we...

Last night’s project was this. Like many of you out there, who knows what i put in my fuel tank. It could be used motor oil, some diesel, kerosene, old gasoline, maybe some lamp oil that my grandma wanted to get rid of in her shed, who knows. it is all filtered of course. we know the multifuel...

I have been working quite a bit on my M109A3 lately. It used to have a ground fault issue when i pluged it into land power but i got that fixed. the problem was one of the wires on the over head lights was frayed, so i fixed it and it works great now. It would only blow the GFI (located in the...

Well i havent seen may deuces on this site look this bad. There was one where the dump trailer tipped over on it, the one where the guy was rear ended and of course, Gimp's epic deuce roll-over trick. This happed to mine when iw as driving it, went off the road just a LITTLE bit to meet a deep...

I think i have a brake dragging some on my M105A2. I dont have the 3-3/8" or 3-7/16" socket to pull the hub off to get to the brakes. is it possible to take off the 3/8" nuts that hold the drum on to access the brakes? I tried adjusting them, checked parking brakes incase they were tight...

Nobody likes a loose box!, so i took mine out of the deuce to replace the bushings. i tried adjusting it, but it did not work and you could see the pitman arm moving back and forth a little. I ordered the 2 bushings, seal and gasket from memphis. pulling the box was a pain as i had to jack the...

well since i had the radiator out, i figure i would go all out and PM everything i could since i was in there. the tachometer adapter caught my attention as it looks like the speedometer adapter, but does not have a grease fitting. what have you guys lubed yours with? i just took the small pipe...
