    Deuce Tips and Tricks

    We had this before, lets get it started again. Here's the first one. If you're having problems adjusting your alt belts ie, the alt is hitting the primary filter, remove the step bracket holding the filter and place it on the bottom of the upper frame flange. It's usually on the top and this...

    S-318 0n M103A3

    Ryan Gill, I think you asked for pics of my little shelter on the trailer. I still haven't taken them yet but happened across these. Let me know if you need specifics. On this trip (Aberdeen) I had the shelter back from the nose so I could haul 2 HMMWV engines there for Bruce Kubu. The shelter...

    Observations in Flat Towing

    Hey gang, let me say I'm no stranger to the medium tow bar. Mine's sure paid for itself dearly. Today it was used again and I noticed an interesting thing. Those who've ever flat towed a deuce can probably attest to this, they don't much care to turn. They really don't much care to turn...

    Thoughts on brakes and new deuces!

    Seems like the most prevalent problem with getting a new deuce is brakes. For some reason or another that always seems to be a problem. I've been fooling around with the home made power bleeeder for a while and some thoughts have come to mind. Mastercylinders can be ruined by stomping on it to...

    Power Bleeder pt2

    Well, since I've been playing with the Hotel Delta (Home Depot) power bleeder lately, I've added another attachment. My semi trailer uses the same exact master cylinder as the M105 (and just about any 1 1/2 ton trailer.) Since I've had the semi there has always been one axle without brakes so...

    Family Reunion

    Over the last few days I've had the privelege of one of my old deuces coming to visit for brake work. I took the liberty of using the M35 to move the wrecker with the tow bar. At the same time moved the M447C with the tractor. Took a few pics for the heck of it. The sunlight hurt some of the...

    Deuce Power Bleeder R4x4 Style

    Gang, here are 2 pics of my bleeder. You can see that the tank line has a ball valve and a quick coupler from an air line. It then connects to a second hose that has a tee and a 6" nipple that screws into the MC cap. There's a plug in the top of the tee but eventually it will have a pressure...

    Surplus DOT5 and Bleeders

    Greeting folks! I just got my most recent order of BFS (Mil DOT 5 brake fluid). Ordered 2 gallons from www.muttparts.com Spent $78 and change for 2 gallons delivered. Coincidentally I was doing steel lines on the neighbors M35A2C so I had to dig out my fabricated brake bleeder. It really works...

    Desert Rat Sighting

    Howdy folks. Well, DR just rolled out of here with his RV in tow. We managed to fab up a temp wiring harness and composite tail lights on his trailer, patched up several areas of hurricane damage, added a house battery for interior lights and a few other things. Also did some tire swapping on...

    Looking for the Forum Dictator. Where's Chris?
