    Axle vent/pressure release valve

    My personal opinion is that they will NOT keep water out if placed directly on the axle. However, it they are placed high up on the frame with tubing running down to the axle point, they have a much greater chance of staying dry. How often do you take the truck swimming, how often do you drive...

    MEP 805B display problem found.

    Disconnecting and replugging can remove corrosion by friction which is causing a poor connection. Remember, the voltages in computer circuits are low and the amperage is minuscule even compared to the voltage. Corrosion you cannot see will stop the flow of electrons from one circuit board to...

    Transferable SF97?

    At least on this forum he has a better than average probability of finding the correct answer in the multiple responses that will be posted. Whether he can figure out which response is correct is another matter entirely.

    Oil seal mod. for 3053 input shaft

    I'm in the same boat. Should have some money in Jan, but for now, just moths in the wallet!

    Salvage yard near stokes NC?

    Used to be, but he died several years ago. Maybe someone who bought up his parts. Further south is White Owl Parts, in Kinston, NC

    Any advice for First trip?

    Plan for a southern route if possible. Phoenix to I-10, picking up I-20 in west Texas, past Dallas-Ft. Worth on the south side, over big muddy in Vicksburg then up through Birmingham and Atlanta on I-20 to Florence, SC, where you will pick up I-95 to southern Virginia, where I'm sure you can...

    AS-3900A/VRC Antenna work with RT 524?

    Don't wait too long, the 6704's are getting harder and harder to find! And you can only use the 524 on six meters as a HAM operator. There is a thread on modifying the 3900 for use with the CB frequencies. You might be able to do the same thing for 51 MHZ, so it becomes a six meter antenna...

    Engine Runs Like Poop

    Search for threads on turning up the fuel, usually done one or two 'flats' at a time. A pyrometer is usually recommended between the exhaust and the turbo as the first step (too much fuel= hotter exhaust temps, esp under load) because the pistons will start melting at 1200 degrees F. Have you...

    M35 Bow wood dimensions + Hardware?

    If you want to go fiberglass 'slats', Stefan Wood Products can make up a set for you, probably with all the holes drilled for a deuce. BTW, the metal parts are the same (or at least were on the two that I've seen) on the earlier M-211 and the later M35 series deuces. The dropside beds did have...

    Just won the bid on a MEP803A

    Remove your tailgate and let them slide it into the bed of the truck a little further. Since it can be picked up from the side or the end (of the generator) that should get at least part of it over the wheels.

    M35 a2 brake master cyclinder

    I used a deep well socket, backed by a six inch extension, then a universal joint and another six inch extension, which brought it out through the hole where the brake line attaches, and there I could use the ratchet wrench. YMMV.

    M119 Trailer Pick Up: Columbia SC / Hickory NC

    Contact Adam (Ferroequinologist) , or MrTravo via PM. They can probably help you get it off base to a safe location where pickup will not be so rushed.

    TM help!!

    In addition, the TM Number can be further defined by what type of equipment it is (1 = aircraft, 9 = generally vehicles, but includes other items, 10= quartermaster items, etc.) then further broken down by the four digit number that follows. That four digit number is the Federal Supply Category...

    New guy saying hi! Where are the leopards!

    Best place to show off armor is the MVPA convention next year. Won't be too far from you, just watch your GVW on whatever you haul it with. Most of the northern states are pretty strict about heavy loads.

    Deuce compression test acceptable PSI

    Since it's supposed to be 22:1, I would thing anything over 310 psi would be in the ballpark. If it's lower it may not have enough compression to heat the air up for reliable ignition.2cents

    Can anyone give a positive id on these rotors / stators

    From the description, they go to an MEP-002A. I could be wrong, as I've never actually seen one. Check to see if he has an NSN. If so, do a Google search on the number and you will find your answer yourself!

    Spare Motor

    And a decent pallet jack can pick up two tons, more than enough to move it around. Keep the engine, it will only increase in value (to you or someone else) in the future.

    Spare Motor

    The complete can weighs about 1100 pounds empty, and about 3050 with an LD-465 engine in it.

    Loading ramps

    John Peck had some real heavy duty ramps, but they were only 5-6 feet long, for some military trailer. Took four of us to move them around, one at a time. If you got them, you'd have to make some hydraulic rams to lift them, or carry a crew of four to six to move them around. You really want...
