I can't wait to paint it.... I hate the color.

Well got the new windshields in. And installed the troop seats. Pulled a few wheels and drums off and I have leaking hub seals. So a brake job and hub seals are in the near future. Might as well do the wheel cylinders while I am there. Fixed the door handles so I can get in to the truck now...

Is there a list of reputable vendors that sell Deuce parts on here?

I hate the color. As soon as a fix a few things it will get a paint job. If anyone has a good mirror let me know. I need one of the round ones and one square one. Also I need new seat covers. Let hear what you have.

Here are a few pics. The guy gave me two new windows, two sets of racks/troop seats. One set is fiber glass and the other is wood. Then He gave me like three sets of bows. And one set for a M105 trailer. Also He gave me Two new military dry cell battery's, tons of filters, full set of snow...

Sorry I moved and never changed my location lol. I am in the middle of nowhere Elko NV now. As soon as the sun comes up I will be out there looking at it. I cant sleep haha

Well just got home with my first M35A2. I bought it from a guy here in Elko Nv. I thought I would start a thread because I have some questions. And might as well keep them in one spot. I am going to clean it up paint it and go over everything. Going to make a daily driver out of it. My drive to...

It cooled down a bit here in Phoenix, so time to start to put the M38A1 back together. I just had a quick question. I had the machine shop install Hardened exhaust valve seats and valves. The new valves don't use rotors on them it is just the keepers and retainers. When I install the valve...

Got the motor tore apart. Already got the head at the machine shop Things are looking good. Today I pulled the transfer case and transmission out. They are going to get tore down and new seals and gaskets and anything else they need. I still need to pull the block out and load it into the truck...

I think I am going to start calling around to machine shops this week and start getting a price on machine work. Then I can build it in my garage as money permits. Rings, bearings, seals and gaskets, valve parts and timing chain. Price wise it should not be to bad. Big cost is going to be the...

So I did a wet compression check on the A1 and I got a good 119 PSI in all 4 cylinders. That is 9 more PSI than dry..... From what my vacuum gauge says that I have a sticking valve and worn valve guide. I like to condemn things to quick sometimes. What do you guys think? Rebuild? Anymore ideas?

So today I got a chance to work on the M38A1 for a bit. I hooked up a vacuum gauge to the full pump and it held 20 lbs of vacuum so I don't think it is leaking. I ran the engine to operating temp and hooked the vacuum gauge and the needle was jumping back and fourth between 14 and 20 looks like...

I have new lines installed on the jeep but no fuel pick up So right now i just blocked off the hole for it and ran a rubber fuel line from the bottom of the tank to the fuel pump with a filter. I ran out of patience waiting for the fuel pick up. So I know the fuel lines are good lol. As for the...

There is allot of good info here Thank you for you help makes it easier to trouble shoot. When I bought the Jeep I replaced the air filter element and oil. As for the carb I rebuilt it and I made a little cardboard tinplate for the float so I am about 99% sure that it is at 9/64 I double checked...

I changed the oil using 30W oil like the technical manual says installed the cab and drove it around. By the end it was not smoking as bad but still smoking...... I'm going to check and see if the oil has any gas in it tomorrow. And if it still acts flooded when I try to start it. Has anyone...

I'm jealous. They look good I hope to have my M38A1 at that point some day.

So tonight I pulled the carb off and looked down into the intake and I can see gas pooled up in the intake were gas is leaking out of the carb. I took the carb apart and cleaned it. Tomorrow I am going to change the oil and install the carb and see what happens.

The fuel pump is a rebuilt that i just got back form kaiserwillys.com about a week ago. And I have only ran it twice with it installed. The one before it was a brand new CJ5 pump. Is there anyways to test to see if the pump could be leaking fuel into the engine? I am going to change the oil but...

Here is something I have not dealt with before, I checked my dip stick and noticed my oil was level was high. So I drained some oil out. When I drained the oil it was thin and smells like gas..... Now that has me thinking. Every time I start, it it acts flooded (takes fore ever to start and...

Well that gives me a reason to rebuild it. I am waiting for my cylinder leak down tester to come in the mail and then i can see if it is valves, rings or it still could be a leaking head gasket that is letting oil by when returning to the block. Thanks for ideas.
