I just replaced seals and bearings in one on my rears. I took each wheel off then the hub. Just as well as the bearings were bad and I needed to drive out the cups from the hub. No way I could have done that with the wheels still mounted to the hub. I used Lucas Extreme Bearing Grease...

T4bergie, thanks for the info. My Deuce has Antique plates and that was not a real issue to get done. I am still waiting to hear back from the RMV, will email my contact and see where they are in formulating an answer. The guy I spoke with was actually great to talk to. He was a little...

Hi Jay, I did see that one , however I have found an M813A1 I want but I fear the Gods are against me! I have actually started studying the CDL theory exam but that a long way off. Martin.

I hear the groans already – “Not another CDL thread!". Yes I live in MA and would like a 5 Ton BUT do I need a CDL? There are many posts on the subject BUT every state is different and I really could not find a definitive one for us MA guys. The web is a wonderful thing and in short order I...

Hi All, Going to take a look at a local M923A2 for sale tomorrow. Anyone with specific advice for this model type that I should be looking for? TIA, Regards, Martin.

My first time at the show as a visitor. I live near Boston so typically go the the Weare, NH meet. Hat's off to all for such a great event, I was amazed at the number and type of trucks represented today. Also got to meet face-to-face with some vendors and SS members I have dealt with...

I am looking for fiberglass troop seats and headache rack for my Deuce.

Thanks, I know ignorance is not bliss around here! Cheers, Martin.

As I did not mention, lot numbers or prices but asked a very general question I did not think it broke the rules, if I did then bad on me and I will if asked delete the post as I have no wish to PO anyone. Actually, I have no idea how to delete a post no I come to think of it!

Hi, Did anyone take a look at the 5 Ton's on GL in Ayer, MA. I was going out to to take a look as I am local but never made it. Was thinking of bidding, but site unseen is all a bit scarey! Cheers, Martin.

Dave, My FDC is bypassed, it's pretty simple to do and you can use my truck and 'copy'. So far as better running, all rather subjective, lets get yours fixed and go on a nice long drive, these trucks need to be driven, blows the cobwebs out and burns off all the internal crud etc. I can...

:ditto: Dave, I don't think you FDC is bypassed, that can also leak and 'make oil', drain the sump, make sure you have a 10 gallon bucket as if its full with fuel a mess it will make! :drool: Martin.

Bad if it's missing, put it back: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/77949-magnetic-start-relay-replaced.html

derby, I bought MassM35A2's Deuce and he fitted the Chinese HH, he bought 2 as the shipping was almsot the same for 2 as for 1 so he figured why not have a spare. The truck runs like a champ (now I am doomed!) so I have to say the HH is doing it's job. Let's see how we do with Dave's truck...

gimpyrobb, No not my truck, Dave happens to live about 7 miles from me so I now have another MV buddy to bond with! Met with Dave last weekend, took my Deuce over to his house. I happen to have a spare HH (Chinese), the same is in my truck, figured Dave could try a new HH if necessary...

Yes I watched the vid, I see what you mean, if the shutoff stops at the 6'oclock position, a) why, b) is 7'oclock the defacto open position for full fuel flow. Being relatively new to all this myself, enquiring minds need to know! I am studing the TM right now but it's not sinking in! Martin.

Dave, I put the new HH in the truck. Martin.

Hi CrazyWelder72, your in the next but one town over from me, welcome to the hood. Let me know if you need any help or want to meet up some time. Cheers, Martin.

That is not the standard pump, looks like a retro fit of some kind. Certainly not standard. See here http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/81310-another-fuel-pump-went-bad.html

Probably the best approach. So happens TNJ Murray has them (alternators) on sale ending today, not cheap but cheaper so I orderd one, will get the current one rebuilt and have on hand as a spare.
