Meldog or others,
I hope I am not to late. Seems like a lot of rally good information here.
Here is the vin of the CUCV that I will be picking up shortly.

Not sure, but mine did it when I singled out the rear wheels and put on G286's. I lowered the tire pressure to 70psi and it solved the problem.
Long story short, check your tp and make sure all the tires are the SAME.

Hello all, weird being out of the deuce section!
I am looking at a 67 m715. Looks to have been fire department truck converted to civy. sand truck. It has a winch and power steering, 12v converted, hard top
The body has lots of civy parts, bucket seats ect as well as a nice red and white...
I was getting ready to bid on a kitchen trailer in RI which oppened on the 12th and closed on the 14th. Its no longer listed. Guess my wife gets her Christmas wish!!
Cannot speak for the 5t, but I have my deuce on 11x20's. It is really high up to be driving up ramps. Sounds like an accident waiting to happen. They would need to be 12' to 14' ramps to give even a moderate angle.
I think tractor and trailer or dually would be much better at the job.
I saw it also and felt bad, but WOW what an explosion. I would really not want to be on the ground side of that.
Amazing what people can come up with when they put their mind to it.

My truck must be Irish surplus because it has a very short hose. I still get the slobber effect. I think corrective surgery is in order to at some length , perhaps girth as well.

Is there a short course in draining (changing) brake fluid in a Deuce.
I have a mix of DOT 3-5. I want to return it to all DOT 5. I read the TM's and posts. I know how to bleed the air out when refilling, but was curious as to the best way to drain the whole system of fluid to start.

Hello,
A few months ago, I read an old post that had a step by step tutorial (with pictures) for changing the front oil seals. I have been searching for it with no luck. Does anyone have the link to the post?
Thanks
Tom
No wonder I was doing a wheelie along the entire Mass pike.
Not to hijack, but it is one of the hardest trailers I have ever had to backup. (behind deuce) One twitch and its off to the side.
Tom
Thanks,
No offense taken. I am not sure that the guys at the shop were all that sure themselves. I will pull the batteries and put a pic up on the site. Might not be for a day or so with work.
Thanks for the help
Tom
