Tried flushing the IP of one of my deuces and couldn't get it to work. Pen in the center of the head bounced up and down and liquid was in the sockets of the injector line holes. I couldn't be lucky enough that it would be easy to repair s spring or other simple component to get it working...

Couldn't start my nicest A3 today... wasn't getting fuel. From previous experience I pulled the check valve on the top of the fuel tank (Item 24, Fig 30, TM9-2320-386-24p, page 0031-00) and found the brass plunger gunked up badly, and the O ring a bit mangled. Cleaned and reinstalled it and...

Got a deuce that had been in USAF lot for years... and the fuel is the nasties smelling varnish I've ever sniffed. Truck turns over well but is getting no fuel to the injectors. It's getting to the IP. Doesn't come out of the whatever-it's-called plug on the side of the head. Seems that the...

Does anybody know how much an LDT engine weighs? Seems I may need to get one dropped into a truck, and will have to transport it. Plan is to put it in an M101 trailer and tow it behind a 1031, so capacity of both the trailer and the truck is an issue. Thanks. Mark3395

I tried to engage and operate the bed-mounted generator in my M1031 contact truck and falied. I placed it in park, transfer in neutral (hard enough because the transfer was stiff), pulled the PTO, and shifted to drive. When I flipped the PTO switch the light didn't go on. The generator...

I continue to have trouble identifying the Yanmar diesel engine in the upgraded ENG-3A servicing unit... or which maintenance manual covers the engine. Does anybody have any info on it? Thanks in advance. Mark

Mde the mistake of having my daughter drive me to Warner Robbins to pick up a deuce and she fell in love with an M109 van. So I've given her one for early Christmas. She's heading from Illinois Quad Cities E. down I-74 to I-75, then South to Atlanta. Would sure like some contacts and phone...

It's supposed to be a general purpose oil, and I've had some put in my differential but understand transmissions and transfer cases have brass components that aren't compatible with some oils. Searched for JT7 to see if it was good to go in trannys but haven't found a reference. Can anybody...

Hi. I picked up a couple of great OTC "rotisserie" engine stands to help me rebuild from broken engines. Now I have to make/buy adapters to attach the deuce engines to the stands. Does anybody hanging around here have drawings or pics of an adapter? And by the way, I have an extra OTC...

Had a bi t of a flood that put water just over the hubs of a couple CUCVs and a couple deuces. don't think it reached the vent caps of the deuces. What teardown/cleaning do you recommend? What a mess. Thanks.

I've got a nice pulse tech battery charger that's done a good job of recovering some ArmaSafe batteries. Got a question though: The charger has two sets of clamps, so it can work two batteries at a time. Is it best to disconnect the dogbone between the batteries so they're separated, or is...

Anybody know where to find parts for the compressor? I've got a knock in mine... And on the top of the carb is a little brass screw with a hole down the center that seems to intersect a crosshole. Well, there's supposed to be one anyway. I've got a carb that's missing it.

I replaced he 5 flat tires of my M944 during recovery with 5 HEMMTT wheels and excellent used tires. It drove fine on them. My problem now is that I have 5 bad tires to remove from the original wheels. I'd like to get another and mount singles on my wrecker. Breaking the nuts loose...

I want to help a friend switch an M109 box onto his M35A3 chassis. Have any of you done such a switch? Will the boom of an M816 wrecher lift an M109 box off the frame?

Well, I got the M944 home from Rock Island and am now unlading, cleaning, and doing the odd repairs. Muffer is rusted out despite the cap at the end of the pipe. Does anybody know a commercial part number for that muffler? I drove the truck to my shop. Has less than 2k miles on it. Need...

I have an M1028 SECM recovery to conduct from Ft. Campbell sometime within the next 3-6 weeks or so. I'm currently recovering an M35A3 from Huntsville with another proven SECM in tow. I plan to park the M35 somewhere with the towbar and drive the current SECM back to Illinois, then come...

Well, I've got the 944 paid for and am starting prep for recovery. Will first try to drive it out. All the maintenance records were in the cab and it looks like it was serviceable when it was last driven. My intent is to replace fluids, batteries, and tires and fire it up and drive it away...

I had my helper drain the oil out of an LDT 465 engine saved from a scrapped truck. I was worried that water got into the engine because the valve covers were off. He reported a quantitiy of flies in the oil. Years ago I changed the oil in my car but didn't get around to getting rid of the...

wtb passenger side hood prop... from the nugs and bolts up. Am holding in place only with the driver side prop and it makes the poor truck look goofy. Alson need carb gasket kit, all wheel seels, and whatever you recommend to restore one of these machines. It's been in a machine shed since...

I think i've read all the threads re insurance for wreckers, but don't find a clear answer... Situation is I've got a nice M816 in Illinois. I wish to use it only on my own mil vehs and tow others from time to time... not a commercial enterprise. Max radius of 500 mi, and probably no more...
