Alright, the Texas Deuce Days car show is coming up next weekend. Sounds like we'll have at least 4-5 MVs in attendance. Please let me know if you'd like to join us. As for the name of the event ("Texas Deuce Days"), I learned something new. Maybe this was common knowledge and I've lived a...

I put air in a tire. I got to the shop this morning and found this >>

Howdy from just north of Houston. Keep an eye on the thread linked below. Hopefully you can join one of our get-togethers. I’d like to see that truck in person! 😎 https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/greater-houston-area-events.119799/

Thank you, Sir! I credit the great advise and help from fellow SS members!

Ahab, I’ll be sure to post an after action report with pictures!

Here is some more information for Saturday, May 8: Plan to arrive between 9am and 11am to put your vehicle on display. Spectators can arrive at any time after 11am. There will be a break between 5pm and 7pm before the concert. Many of the vendors and displays will leave during the break. If...

Okay, here's the last post for today with some other tidbits.... Here is the gas engine pump with its own fuel tank under the deck: There is a wheel under the cab (I don't have a good picture of the wheel) and a gauge in the cab for measuring water output. Here is the gauge: And...

It's amazing what a good bath will do! Here are some before and after comparison shots: And of course, PPE was needed to clean out the rats nest. Forget COVID, I was worried about Hantavirus!

The M810 finally got some attention yesterday (and I had fun too). I was able to get a covered parking spot for the water truck. So I brought it up to my shop, gave it a good bath and then parked it in its new home. The water truck came to me with a rats nest in the cab. I really didn't...

@Tracer as promised, here are some under the hood pictures of the M810 water truck. I did not intend to make you wait the better part of a year for these pictures... but hopefully it gave time for your anticipation/excitement to build! ;) These pictures were taken yesterday before I gave the...

Here are pictures of the data plates from the M810.

This post is largely a copy/paste from the July 2020 MV of the Month thread. I'm the third owner of the M810 water truck. My friend purchased it from Government Liquidation in 2010 out of Carson City, Nevada and I bought it from my friend. He has rural property here in Texas, and I believe...

Outstanding, Sir. Nice to see that she is running and will be displayed and enjoyed!

I did this too and have had no issues to speak of. Servicing bearings becomes quite a chore when you have two tubes (or half a tub) of grease to clean out of the hubs. Been there, done that too.

Alright... let's get this thread going again. Put Saturday May 8th on the calendar! What: Texas Deuce Days 2021 Car Show When: Saturday, May 8, 2021 - Gate opens at 11am (Set-up for the car show is from 9am-11am) Where: 2920 RoadHouse; 21835 FM 2920; Hockley, TX 77447 Other Info: A full...

Thank you! And good question, Ahab. I don’t know. I elected to have chocolate chip waffles for desert and never made it by the actual dessert station. After that meal, I needed a 2.5 ton truck to get home!

That’s a great looking truck. Congrats!

Use #687 - Deuce on display My Deuce was on display at the Honor Cafe in Conroe, Texas today. It is a great veteran-owned restaurant and the Easter Sunday buffet was amazing.

Are the solenoids the same across the M809, M939, M939A1, and M939A2 trucks, or do any of these trucks use different solenoids?

@aghumvee, I count 9 trailers in your first picture above. May I recommend a good 12 step program? @M37M35, I believe that @TAMU86 has a M1061A1 for sale just north of Houston if you want to go that route.
