I don't believe weight carrying capacity had anything to do with the selection of duals. AI think a deuce with singled 9.00-20s will still carry more than it's rated weight. One of the advantages claimed by the Army for a dual wheeled truck was the ability to sustain 5 flats (if the spare is...

6x8' sounds a lot more like an M416 1/4 ton trailer canvas. The bed of an M101 is over 8" long, add the height needed for the sides and it'd be more like 14x16' or, maybe, 13x15' Lance

Venting is never good for the ventee....:roll: The squeaky wheel gets replaced....;-)

Welcome aboard! If you are looking for an M35A2, you live in a great area. They are auctioned in Columbus, Dayton and a couple locations in IN. Good luck and don't wait too long. Lance

I can't believe you actually asked me to visit the Evil Empire... FF is a little sharper for me. I didn't notice a color difference. IE has ad banners at the top of the page. FF does not. Thea could be due to my security suite's tossing them off the cliff thinking they are off-site phising...

What SS is writing about is this: pull the ENGINE STOP out and crank the engine for 8-10 seconds to get the oil filters started on filling up. Then, start it normally. Pumping the fuel pedal when cranking a big no-no. If you don't do this, then, especially, when it's starting to get a little...

Hey, NEWB, I'll bet you don't even have a dusting of snow yet.... What's wrong with the one you've got? Worn or blown up? They are a little problematic to renew but it can be done. I prefer to have new u-joints and not risk installing a shaft that might go belly up tomorrow. Lance Lance

As said, dress warm and be prepared for whatever the forecast is. there is one set peice battle staged where visitors can see it (check the schedule) but most of the tactical activity is "free play" out in the training areas. The Civil Air Patrol runs a pretty good food concession out of one...

The Battle of the Bulge re-enactment at For Indiantown Gap is 27JAN to 01FEB09 The link is http://www.wwiifederation.org/v_index.htm I'll be set up with Ed King (LZ Army-Navy) in bldg 12-58, on "Vendor's Row" Lance

The combine that shelled off our corn cost $202,000 in 2003, using the old grain heads. The two tractors pulling the grain wagons, $316,000, for the pair. No one in their right mind would put sub-standard ANYTHING in equipment that expensive. For years, the on-road and off-road diesel were...

An epay search for "Budd socket" should find a 1-1/2" hex, 13/16" square combo socket specially designed for Budd wheels. Mine cost around $22. They're availbale in 1" drive with 3/4" drive occasionally seen. On the road, I break things loose with a 3/4" drive Swench manual impact wrench (800...

I've seen two principal versions of the CUCV based contact truck. One uses a belt driven generator/welder driven by a transfer case PTO and one used a V4 Wisconsin gas engine driven generator/welder. Generator output, on the ones I've been around, varied from 8 to 20 kW and welder output...

Naaaah, it's not really cold unless your fingers stick to the door handle and leave a skin patch. Thanks for the info everybody. Now I just need to fill my last few deer tags and get back into the shop and out of the wind! Lance

The size of the multi-fuel exhaust was purposely kept a little small to accelerate the exhaust fumes up and away from the troop compartment (the bed). The Army knew from the start that the truck would breath easier with the bigger pipe but saw it as a troop safety issue. I'd say "change it"...

I drove these and turned wrenches on them for years. I can't ever remember miring one to where we couldn't self-recover it but, hey, maybe I'm just blocking out bad memories! We hung them up on stumps and down trees a few times though. Airing down the tires and having chains on will usually...

Okay John, now you've really gone and pushed me over the edge..... As soon as deer season quiets down I'll have to get my welder/fabricator buddy and drive over to see this thing. I want to make one of mine into a dump for light utility stuff around the farm. Geez, John, my projects have...

OK, I've searched for the TM number for this and come up empty. Can anyone please point me to the correct TM for the procedure? My M35A2C has never been a perky as my other deuces and has a fair amount of discharge from the road draft hose. I'm hoping a valve adjustment will help. The engine...

I've bought a number of "does not run" trucks, both with and without previews. The furthest away from home were about 320 miles. As stated, most "does not run" trucks are dead batteries or ignorance (emergency fuel shutoff in an M809 series or "gee, that's what the WAIT light is for!!") or...

Holy beer bellies, Batman!!! There sure are some big ole' corn fed rascals on this website!!! They made some of you guys back when meat was cheap!!! Lance

A smaller steering wheel is really going to increase the force needed for low speed steering and parking. It would also tend to increase the chance or getting hurt by the steering wheel. Particularly at low speeds, the steering wheel tends to want to jerk violently if you hit a curb, deep hole...
