    Official 2016 Ga. Military Vehicle Rally info thread. Oct. 19-23, 2016

    Food will probably increase about a dollar a meal off the MKT. Clint is correct about the up-front costs coming out of our pockets with the hope of recovering it in food and tee shirt sales - last year I was out about $2200 when I arrived on Wednesday, and that does not include the steaks for...

    2016 Ga Military Vehicle Rally volunteers needed.

    You need street marking paint, or a vehicle to ride around doing the painting?

    M35a2 to m275

    If you wanted a flatbed, I would suggest using a generator trailer bed as they are 123 inches long, regular 105 bed is 108 inches, vs the standard deuce bed of 144.

    Where can I find new replacement tire and tube for our M416 1/4-ton trailer?

    First, you need to re-read the 'rules of the site' and post your CITY and STATE in your location, 'North America' does not cut it. I'll assume you are using the 416 with an M151 MUTT, so the tires and rims should be the same. Thus, look for tires and rims for that vehicle.

    Deuces mechanic

    Oscar, You're just a couple of miles west of Shealy's BBQ! The whirring sound might also be the in-tank fuel pump, which starts up when the power switch is put in the 'on' position. Usually cannot hear it because of the buzzer when air pressure is low. What do the panel gauges read when the...

    Max Tire Pressure for a Deuce Rim

    A 900x20 at 90 psi will try to make itself the size of an 1100x20, except on the bottom. Tends to separate the cord from the rubber too.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    You can get a 'correct' Clay and Bailey oval top from them (Kansas City if I remember correctly), but they are not cheap, $600-700 each. I own two of the tanks, replaced one of the tops, but not the other.

    5 ton Pintle to 2" hitch conversion?

    There are several threads on putting a regular hitch on the military trucks. Frame is usually the same width between the deuce and the 5-ton series (check the individual models to be sure), and they are made in both bolt-on and weld models. Most are available for around $200, and one or two...

    TM Download/Print Assistance ?

    And, I have pretty much all the TM's for the deuce on the MKT thumb drive (along with 5-ton TM's, radio TM's, the MKT TM's, FM's, TB's, TC's, AR's, STP's and other info that I thought might be needed).

    Georgia Rally for 2016 ???

    I have reservations made, but need to work on the MKT and the horizontal refrigerators, which have been acting up since the Monroe, NC Air Show.

    Goldneagle's M116A1 Generator Trailer restore and modification thread

    105 generator trailer bows are 62" high in the middle when installed. My 116 bows seem to have disappeared at the club compound, so they probably got sent to the scrapper by the OCD neat freaks.

    Looking for Huey

    To restore something to airworthiness will mean a complete teardown, inspection and rebuild with certified parts BY a registered aircraft mechanic certified to work on that type of craft. Even if you do all the work yourself, it still has to be approved by an FAA Certified Mechanic, every step...

    A little help with TM's on electrical diagram

    Which TM's are you looking in? Have you looked at all the manuals show in the stickies?

    foam filled tires

    You have lock ring rims, not split or Budd two piece rims - BIG difference. The first type are safe except when being aired up, the second types are illegal now and no reputable company will work on them. As for 900 x 20 tires on rims, check the classifieds here, you should be able to find...

    Moving day is Nigh upon us!

    Only thing I can recommend is avoiding I-40 west of Memphis to Little Rock. Coming in from the northern states, I-75 in Cincy will get you to Knoxville, where you can pick up I-40 to Asheville, and then I-26 all the way to Charleston.

    Portrayal Press has a full set of repro manuals - 8 or 9 of them, I looked through the set that Joel got for the DUKW at our compound.

    Pick up needed at Ft Jackson SC

    Ft Jackson's not a problem for me either. If you wanted it delivered to the VA Rally over Labor day weekend, it would not even have to go to Fastenal.

    Columbia (Lexington) SC potential pickup.

    Kenny, I assume you will want it at the GA Rally. It can ride on the deuce along with all the other parts. Just let me know where it is.
