If you look at the value of what you are getting (ruggedness, simple reliability, and weight quality of engineering) you can begin to see why they are worth it. But drive one through the woods, fields, or muddy trail and work it and you will wonder why they go so cheap. First you have got...

FYI - I'm not sure if you meant to post int his forum as its meant for paint and body work and this is more of a mechanical issue. If your talking about a deuce, you may need to replace the air governor. I had similar issue with my deuce. New air governor fixed it. Its really cheap and easy...

Might be an air bubble/pocket. Had a similar problem with my M35a2 without heater, changed out T-stat, hoses, flush, etc. scratched my head for a week or so. Finally I drove it over to a friends/mechanics house. His driveway is on a good incline, got it there and let it cool. When it did, it...

According to one GL rep where I ave bought a deuce; they hop in the truck and try to start it. If it doesn't start its listed that way and they dont invest any more time or resources to fix or figure it out. As others say anything from batteries to engine hydraullic pump could be suspect, but...

My first Deuce had a few suprise extras: about 200 rds of 5.56 brass, lots of 5.56 links, 20-40 ft of rope, 2 empty fire exinguishers, 3 lug wrenches, 2 cargo covers, an m16 magazine (crushed) extra set of siderack fences, M 105 chains, m105 cover, and about a dozen Juice boxes, most empty - I...

I've done a "drive out" recovery from Ft Drum to Brockport (West of Rochester) without problems. That was back when they had more deuces and more were listed as "starts and runs" and I took the time to go up and preview them first to pick out a few that really were drive-able. Hard to say...

Hi Luke; My advice is to seek out some local / semi-local SS members and try to connect with them at any rallies or at their place. If any are around and can show you the ropes, you might be able to make a better decision or you might be completely hooked into a new hobby. If you have...

I've used Krylon OD camo paint with labelled as "with fusion technology" (get at wally-mart) on deuce top and cover - works great and holding fine about 6 months now. was ablle to convert camo cover to an OD cover. Prep was that I Cleaned with soap& water to get dust off and paint on a nice...

I think making a documentary-like project would be a great idea. Even if it was an armature project on Youtube or the like. The Military Channel has/had a semi-regular series called "tank overhaul" where they document a recovery/restoration of a military tank and also discuss its history. The...

No Place to Park! - That was what I thought when I got my first deuce - Necessity is the mother of invention. There is probably a way you can store it - A deuce can fit into most driveways - It actually fit in my driveway turn around at an angle - neighbors don't mind, but I have always...

While winch trucks are very cool, I wouldn't let the absence of a winch prevent buying the deuce if its a good runner, good price and close to you. I first purchased a no-winch truck, and then wanted a winch in the worst way, I shopped for all the pieces I needed. Then I ended up buying a...

First Hi and welcome aboard - I'm relatively new as well, but have recovered several deuces so far. I would say that if you end up buying from GL in mechanicsburg / Ft Indiantown gap area, I would say your price can vary from as low as around $1000 (for a non-runner, no winch truck) to about...

Jimm1009 is correct. The NY DMV will give you a difficult time if you do not have an SF-97 and bill of sale to register it. Also take a digital picture of the dataplate - they made me prove to them my trailer did not have a 17 digit VIN#. You can always resell it as "without title" The owner...

I've ordered from that guy on ebay that regularly lists the green tops - someone previously made a link to. It was an excellent top new in the wrap and had heavy duty insulation. You could ask if he will list another one for you- Last I knew he had a few of them.

FYI - Members looking for M135 M211 GMC Deuce parts. A local Deuce is at a scrap yard in Clarkson, NY. Deuce is clean looking with a non original stake bed on the back for farm use. Is complete with a original winch set up and good tires. Don't know if its running. Contact info beow...

Congrats on the 109. I must have been there nearly the same time as you to pick up my M35A2. It ran real good, so good decided to make a stop to Kublos to pick up some tires on the way back to Brockport, NY (about 400 mi trip back). Happy Easter.

" The difference between a G-M tube survey meter, and a hand held ionization chamber survey meter is one of magnitude. I don't really want to get into the physics of the devices, but a good visualization aid would be to think of the difference between a one inch micrometer, and a yardstick."...

Eric, Drop me a PM if you need something precisely measured for radiation. I have access to some advanced radiation detection equipment. The question you want to ask yourself is that are concerned with dose or contamination or both. Radiation exposure/dose is sort of like the heat and...

Out of curiosity, which parts failed and leaked gear oil? - was it the PTO assembly or the gearbox on the winch itself? I don.t have a winch truck but have a winch to mount eventually and need to learn as much as I can thanks for sharing your story.

Update - Kroil Worked! Update - I had already tried PB Blaster, but tried the Kroil and it came lose after a few taps with a a hammer from the outside and a punch pin from the inside ( my spool has the hole) crud and rust was in there and it eventually popped free and springs back like it...
