Here's an interesting find. From afar looks like an M105 but it's actually an M104. Check out that front gate!

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...
Since we started with the driving thing I thought it would be fun to post the states you've driven your deuce in. Since my tractor is my daily deuce, it sees some miles. Here we go!
Florida
Georgia
Tennessee
Kentucky
Indiana
Ohio
South Carolina
North Carolina
Virginia
Maryland
Thats all I can...
Here's a list of stuff I got from RAM. BTW, his deuce tractor is very very nice!

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...
I was just over on the GLS (Gov't Liquidation/Shilling) website checking out a recent sale and figured I would post the following observations. These are my opinions, your mileage may vary
http://cgi.govliquidation.com/auction/view?auctionId=744319 This deuce sold for $5475.00. I would at...
If anybody needs some of these at this price, I could be talked into selling a few.

Does anyone have an armor dome light for parts? I need the packard connector that bolts to the side with 2 screws. I'm redoing an older one and it has an incomplete Douglas connector.
Kenny
I would rather see them scrapped!

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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
I don't know but I'm holed up there trying to get a few hrs sleep. I'll be meeting up with the Forum Dictator in the AM to deliver the heavy SOB winch then on to my destination. Hey, these WiFi things are pretty cool!
G-night all!
If anybody has a direct line to Chris, please call him and tell him I need his phone number. I'm leaving at 0'dark thirty headed to VA and I've got the pipeline winch on board for delivery. I'll be checking my email in the AM before I leave. I would hate to drag that heavy SOB all the way to VA...
