The code you're looking for is a "Q" code. Florida uses this as the antique code so do other states like Louisiana.
Go to floridaplates.com to see all the plate codes.

The four color cammo is the MERDC pattern. The web site olive-drab.com has a great article about it and is full of technical info. Give a look at it.
Mighty Fine Truck, Floyd. Not to rain on your parade or boast, but my "Drive it Home Yourself" adventure was 1900 miles one way. Lucky the drivers seat was the new style "air ride". Would I do it again? In a blink of an eye I would.
Did good grasshopper!! The yard guy at Mechanicsburg told me most trailers are good to go. Sometimes just a stuck brake or a shot bearing. Anyway for 90 bucks, don't sweat it. Not that you would scrap the trailer, but think of scrap metal value and you come out a winner. Just don't scrap...
The Condition Codes are arbitrary. I've bought general commodity items marked A4, but really should have been H7. My M109A3 which I just bought was listed as F7 - put two new batteries in, a radiator cap with two gallons of anti freeze ands he started right and drove a few short block before...
RE: Well.....I just bought a Deuce....tell me what you think

You bought a beauty. Question, what's the price of happiness with a new green MV???
You did WELL!
Now, Enjoy your Ride with Pride!

I think it has something to do with their server/software configuration. I seen the same thing happen on other sites where correlations are out of sync. Ageed, GL is still the web site WE lijke the best!!
I'll be heading to Ft. Drum also in the next 2-3 weeks. like LR, I'm available for an inspection. If LR's schedule is no, good give a holler and let's if our schedules mesh.
All right you wizards out there - Does anyone know if the seat from a 8x8 MV will bolt right up as a replacement in a deuce without problems!?

Sweet Truck!!
Here's a stater list:
1 Case of 15/40 Diesel engine oil
10 gallons diesel FUEL

Full assortment standard wrenches and sockets, screwdrivers, duct tape & ????
5 gallon bucket of GL-1 with pump (for the gears)
2 quarts...

You always come through!!! You are AWESOME!!! Your assumptions are correct and thanks you for the much needed info and wisdom. And yes, the trailer DOES have the hook up cable.
I have two questions. I am going to pick up a M103A1 trailer in the next two weeks.
First question. The valve handle on the deuces rear valves, in order to open the valve, is the handle parallel to the pipe or perpendicular to the pick to be open?
Second question. How do I tap the brake...

Speaking of showing her prices on Ebay, mention to her the value in scrap iron, not that you're ever going to scrap a deuce (heaven forbid). And now, just follow the Nike tag line "just do it" and buy a deuce already. You won't regret it!!!! [thumbzup] 2cents
RE: HYDRAULIC AND AIR/HYDRAULIC BRAKES PREVENTIVE MAINTENANC
Just posted the TB. If its not there tomorrow PM me and I'll email it to any one who wants a copy.
Chuck is right. Leave it alone and don't mess with it. Let LE or DMV inspectors do their job. Messing around with stamps could make a bad situation worse.
I know brakes are a big issue here on SS with our beloved MVs and are of big concern to prospect buyers looking over deuces and other MVs.
I have posted in the technical manuals section, a valuable TB on this subject. Look for the following TB: TB 9-2300-426-20
Let's be safe and enjoy our...
I've got a big piece of property, no building, Just have a well and electric and LOTS of HILLS and TREES. Going to use my M109A3 (see my avatar) as an off road camper and need the hot water unit for showers & dishes. The trailer is going to be used as a mobile platform/carrier. This is the...
