1. Deuces are totally awesome and neato. You should buy one. Maybe 2. 2. A good plan would be to first download the operator's manual and read it. Then find a local SS member who has a deuce and get him to give you some seat time. 3. It won't stop with a deuce. Then it will be a mule...

Did you paint them? I am going to clean/epoxy prime/paint mine, hopefully I won't have this issue.

Much thanks for this awesome post, I am about to spend about $100 on bolts to finish my install up. Where did you find the 1/2" tubes on their site? I don't see hollow tubes in the steel section...

Awesome!

I built a ludicrously cheap and terrible looking tow light setup with a couple of the cheap eBarf LED's and some various garbage from Home Cheapo. They work on military 10 pin 24V and civvy 7 pin or 4 pin setups.

He's got plenty of time to take part in internet drama over on G503 in the mule section but apparently no time to return the dozen emails/voicemails I've sent him (I need dataplates).

I don't remember if they're the same, but you'll see them everywhere (ebay, various jeep parts suppliers, etc.). Make sure you aren't buying the cheap stuff-Moog still makes all this stuff for the A1. That's what you want.

Wikipedia is very good on some stuff, terrible on others.................. and unfortunately, the only way to know which it is is to be an expert on the subject and most experts aren't reading wikipedia............. That's why no one credibly cites Wikipedia in any kind of debate, presentation...

What does a bare frame weigh? I need to know so I can price this.

So I got some time to mess with this today, after I finished parting out one of our parts trucks (http://www.steelsoldiers.com/conversations/87435-lot-work.html). I had pulled the front bumper off to put the tan bumper back on and I figured as long as I was doing this, I'd loosen up all the...

I have since seen these extended height pedals on an '88 USAF A2C and several other of the '87-'89 contract trucks. I would say I've seen 7 or 8 trucks with the tall pedals. I am going to go out on a limb and say this is a feature most if not all these trucks had.

Condition codes, like most topics, have been covered in great depth in the past. Search is your friend! http://www.steelsoldiers.com/trailers/71240-difference-between-condition-h7-f7.html http://www.steelsoldiers.com/general-gl-questions/23811-condition-codes.html...

I am typically paying between $3-400 to have them recored. That's for normal, passenger car sized stuff (like what you have. Deuces would be more). I guess it depends how high quality the new one is. My shop does pretty good work, so I'd consider a recored unit to be higher quality than the...

Make sure you have a hundred spectators: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/upcoming-events/11471-aberdeen-photo-video-thread.html Start on post #11

1. You greased the input bearing retainer that the throwout bearing slides on, not the bearing itself. The bearing is sealed and non-serviceable. 2. Truck looks nice and has nice accessories (ring/cover/etc.) but a dead tranny AND a sprag would really cause me to offer a lowball figure. 3...

Those are for the GMC 135/211 "Jimmy" series of deuces. Rare find, but it won't work for the M44 series.

One of the best things you can do as a newb is to set aside an hour or so each evening for the next few weeks and simply begin reading threads in the deuce forum starting at page 1. I did this when I joined-it took me several weeks to get up to speed. But in doing so, you'll learn a lot-the...

I bought 2 wedges at Northern, a short and a long. Only used the long. As doghead said, most of the dogbones came out by just tapping them. The two uppers required the wedges.
