    An American Deuce in Canada

    What's going on with CVSE and ICBC? If you're roaming does that mean they're helping again? Real good seeing that truck out in the scenery. We called tourism, CVSE, the weigh scales and transportation. We keep calling because they first told me the ban was about up-armoured MV's then heavy MV's...

    New to me M35A3, suggestions needed

    This story should be sent to the truck manufacturer and Cat. We know it's not over with duration being the next test for the transmission and Cat engine.........but really, this was the lottery ticket. The truck is lucky it found you because....let's throw out a number......9 out of 10...

    Massey Ferguson 20C 2WD Tractor/loader

    Very Cool new toy there. We had tractors just like that for landscaping in the 80's and with the bucket we could almost always push our way out of any hole we drove in. Very handy toys. "Bucket Low when you go" was used after we found out they flip easy with a loaded bucket up high. Driving...

    Frozen Cannon Plug On PROTECTIVE CONTROL BOX

    Video and pics of the coverall boys in a craft store would be hilarious. We should be gender inclusive these days so hope it's ok I add this......for a friend.

    Frozen Cannon Plug On PROTECTIVE CONTROL BOX

    Let's bump this up and make it big. The craft stores are going to see a bunch of 250lb guys in greasy, camo coveralls running in looking for modelling clay. Lots of applications for this brilliant idea. Thank you.

    Oshkosh P-4 Fire Crashtruck Preservation

    Alright Jellybean lovers, we need a distraction, let's do something fun....but nothing with balloons. I found a little budget to explore Jellybean more. Head gaskets aren't expensive if that's all it is. I have invented time to take stuff apart and look for problems. We're planning on good...

    G749 preservation

    Many of us can stop the dreaming and put the tool pouches down. Our dreams have come true. Some folks with big family have often mentioned the dream of turning their 6x6 into a bus or camper. The ambition, tools and knowledge of taking on that task is the difference of "Wanting a 6x bus and...

    Canadian mlvw power steering on m35a2

    Is that the deuce you bobbed in a day or are you working on something else already? Seano11 snuck some pictures out but let's see that beast now. I didn't even ask if I should post the pics he sent to me and you're closest to him so if you don't want these shared......get him. I wanted to get up...

    HET M1070 Barely Moves, No Guts

    Any hub heat? I had a brake drag on the deuce and it felt under powered. Driving around in neutral is interesting. It's easy to get the deuce in the air to set brakes and free spin the wheels but getting the 1070 in the air deserves photos. Hope it works out so we can see that truck in the...

    Canada - Prairies - (Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba)

    Hey welcome aboard. That's your first post so the greeting committee will come along and all the advice will be free. I just chatted with the CVSE in B.C. about this. First they thought BS was banning vehicles with armor, then trucks over 4500kg, then anything green, then things that rhyme with...

    M26 Dragon Wagon

    Old threads with a perfect title need some pictures so I schpeculated you folks would like to see some color. I was going to wait until family hit the river valley to see if she's still there but let's jump the gun and get her up here. Maybe others can climb on and we can fill this thread...

    New Gama Goat Owner. Help! How do I connect the cargo section???

    Let's drop an easy link to the Goat Manuals from the TM link above. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/gamagoat-manuals.119161/ There are a lot of manuals so if we dig up a page number and some schematics of the attachment method it'll help future searchers working on the Goat. I got to...

    First time in the snow…

    Playing in the snow with chains is the way to go otherwise you need to mount a jet in the back. Goose would get stuck on any slight hill on Non Directional Tread. Good Rubber helps a ton and a ton in the back helps good rubber. More weight on snow and ice means more stuck and bigger...

    Interesting Response from Vermont DECLINING my HMMWV Registration

    Was it the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) that started this problem? We should call them and ask. It never hurts to ask. Here's the Vermont Rep from the AAMVA group that appears to be making the biggest difference in our MV drive time. Her name is Wanda Minoli and...

    Canadian M152 Camper/Bugout Mods

    That turned out nice. It sets the bar pretty high for MV styling. This one is still in the bush and your truck may be the inspiration we need. When you get up north we have a camping site next to a pond if you need an off-grid hiding spot. Love to hear that beast run. Here's mile 1 at...

    Putting rear bumper on M35.

    I had to look that up....but no. We bid on gov projects so our safety training was similar to EHS&S through the Alberta Construction Safety Association. The TM, SOP info is a direct result of Steel Soldier website training and the doggone encouragement to....in the very least....read the...

    Putting rear bumper on M35.

    That's a nice truck. The PO of Goose the Deuce put one on the M135 to meet commercial codes in the North and it was handy. The foot hole on the side and the simple comfort knowing someone hitting the back of the truck wouldn't scratch the diff was enough reason to keep it. The tailgates are...

    1952 needs brakes and things.

    That's the first time in a long time just hearing an engine made me smile. Thank you. Most of that valve noise will go away once adjusted. There's just something good about an inline six.

    Need Help after Transmission Rebuild

    That's great news. It's a fun truck to drive. Pictures of that deuce with California behind it are always appreciated. It had to be the easiest solution in the G749 world of problems. "Let er' run and add fluid". Beautiful. Rusty's advice could breath new life into deuces people thought were...
