Torisco,
You may need to go to one of the many 'boatanchor' military radio sites/forums to get an answer I know there is a good MV radio forum on the Yahoo Groups area , as well as the MCRA site. HTH.
There is a lockout function on the rear axle of the FPU to keep the front from 'doing a bow' when stopping/going down a slope/etc. The bar to keep the rear wheels from moving while turning is a separate function, but also very useful!
Don't have a picture, but my 93 Corolla rode home from Atlanta in an M-36 I purchased there several years ago. Jeep is smaller, so it should fit just fine.
On baking: Adjust the temp with an infrared thermometer aimed at the hanging sheet, proof anything that has yeast in it by putting it in the top shelf (or on top of the oven if you have several to do) so that it starts rising before it's cooked.
On Boiling Water: always do it in the oven, with...
Deuce engine is 1850 pounds w/o transmission and other parts. Can you pick one side up, possibly. But if it were me, the radiator would be out first, and maybe the fender, just for the extra room to work on things.
Best place to get manuals is an MV show or rally. Look at ABEBooks.com (A Bookseller's Exchange) as they are often less expensive than e-Bay, then e-Bay, local flea markets, garage sales, CraigsList, local used bookshops, etc.

I painted mine with a brush, in the summer heat (South Carolina). Hard as a rock next day. Three years later I can see where the paint is a little thin, and there are places where the underlying paint has come loose, so it's been repainted. Still looks good.
DUKW tires are the same size, but a much higher load rating (11.00 x 18), usually a G or H, while the Goat tires are an E or F. Which makes sense, since the DUKW and cargo is over 20K, while the Goat is under 10K.
That is known as the Auxiliary Baking Set. It's not part of the MKT and had to be requisitioned for those units that wanted one. I have two for my MKT that I purchased five or six years ago from someone who won a group of them from GL. They do come up from time to time, so do a search for one...
