    M109 camper conversion

    Good Job! mdmorgan, I have to give you and your lovely wife a lot of credit for this M109 rebuild. You are way more motivated than I would ever be, if it were me it would have been scraped when I discovered how rotten it is. I can't even get my wife to walk by my Deuce let alone get arm pit...

    M200A1 VS M101 as wood hauler with Power Wagon

    Tim, What part of Northern WI is your cabin? I live north of Washburn. I log and haul fire wood with my M101 behind my 1500 Silverado. You can get a decent amount of wood in a M101, I load it to with in 1" from the springs laying flat on the axle when traveling smooth roads. Really like the...

    While the radiator is off...

    JCKnife, Have the radiator boiled at a radiator shop, someone could have replaced the coolant on a plugged radiator. You can dilly whack trying to flush it yourself, you won't get unplugged like a shop with a tank.

    Lighting upgrades

    Anybody that lives where it snows, LED tail lights are a poor investment. They don't get warm enough to melt the snow off them to keep them clear.

    Making a Deuce a (better) highway vehicle?

    My M35A2 came with 6 new tires. If the former units of these trucks belonged to drove them at all, they had to replace tires. NDT's don't last long at all.

    New Battery Time!

    The best batteries I've used are John Deere Strong Box, they have epoxy anchored plates. That means for off road equipment or Deuces, the plates won't come loose & short out the cell. We run them 3 years in our woods equipment, then just change them out & put them in something else we don't use...

    Deuce Tire Chains

    I spent two years chaining a M817, 5 ton dump up every winter night after using the truck. We chained the front and out side duel on the intermediate axles. By myself I could chain my truck quicker than any squad in the company. The quickest way is to drape the chains over the tire, so the...

    deuce vs excavator

    We fixed the problem of falling off the lowboy on two trailers. We had a single drop we put a beaver tail and ramps on. Then widened it out with 2"X12" tubing and gussets then we welded a piece of 4"X4"X3/8" angle iron on the edge to keep you on. When that rusted out we ordered a new Pitts...

    Anybody seen my old M817?

    I was in Heilbron Germany 1984-1986 with A co 237th Engineers. My truck was A206, a M817, it had some unique features. Before I started driving it the cab shield was crushed down and replaced with a shield from a M929. So it stuck up above the cab by 16", I installed a extra OVM box above the...

    6x6=Best of Both Worlds x 6x6 =

    Argo 6X6 A friend stored his Argo 6X6 at my place, he was quite old and has since passed on. When he first got it I took him out to figure out how to run it. Here are a couple things I learned. If you swim it, distribute the passengers weight very even, if just using the tires to propel...
