Picked up a deuce at Ft. Sheridan and got it exactly out of the motor pool before it ran out of fuel. Jump at the batteries didn't work so I plugged a couple screwdrivers into the slave cable recepticle to jump it. Fuel leaks,rain, no driver's window latch, onset of dark, Chicago area traffic...

I picked up a beautiful M1009 yesterday... Won't start, but I had an adventure trying. The batteries were not securely held or connected and a battery cable dropped to the frame... and a short apparently started a small fire on the firewall. It appears that the capacitor assembly (fig 36...

I've got a deuce engine that knocks, and another that has a thrown rod. I suspect that between the two I've got the makings for a good engine, even if I need to throw in some new bearings. I need a sturdy engine stand that will support the engine, and especially in various positions. Maybe a...

Yep. Burned up some neat deuce stuff and I need a bit of help to get a claim in fast. Got most prices but have a couple harder to get sources and prices for: Shatter-resistant front windshield glass panels (just the glass piece) Brand new air ride driver seat... in box (drat) Used 2 pin...

Need the cab cover and seat covers. Anybody had success with a supplier? This weekend I'll start processing my 211. 28 years of storage should be a real pain.

Got a wonderful M35A3 with under 4kmi on it. Gotta fix front end shimmy but that shouldn't be a big problem (unless you all know something I don't, which is almost comically likely). But the thing doesn't want to go over 50mph at 2700 rpm. I think top is 2750. Have checked speed with a GPS...

Damn, this is just what I wanted considering the buys I'm planning in the next week... Had a nice guy living near my row of M35s who said "I have an old deuce." Well, 1/4 mile later I was looking at a surprise... not a Reo, but an M211 with winch. Visually,, it's in great shape. No rust...

Has anybody ever sequenced the rust pattern on a CUCV as an indicator of age/maintenance. By that I mean a list of where rust breaks our first, then next, and so on. Where are the first places to inspect for rust? Thanks for any info.
