All of you SC guys have kicked major butt on helping Phil and his son out. You guys rock.

Welcome to the site, Chris. That's a great looking M37. There is an excellent Steel Soldiers NY rally with some great trail riding and there is also a great New England Rally. You can find information in the rally forum.

:beer: <---held high in Ferro's honor. :D

Shoot, you PM'd me and I totally spaced out and forgot to respond. I really apologize. I have used State Farm in the past, the agent I used was Steven Watson, although I never met him. Steven Watson - Insurance Agent They really had a hard time with it and I was never sure they understood...

clintogf has an M1009 which has only been painted once, at the factory and it's wheels are green (matching the vehicle). I've never checked the date codes on the rims so I can't be 100% sure they are the originals, but the paint (and fade) matches the vehicle.

I think the odds of an A3 (or any deuce) getting 17mpg are the same as world peace, cats and dogs living in harmony and a balanced budget. Only accurate way to compute mileage figures: Fill the tank up, write down the mileage. Drive it a few hundred miles, fill it up again, write the mileage...

Yes, in order to get the brake drums off, the hub and bearings must be pulled. All full floating axles were like this up until the advent of disc brakes, which allowed brake system maintenance without having to pull the hub and reset the bearings (preload). But look at it as a blessing in...

Holy crap Zout! Pouring the coal on the project fire!

Welcome to the site-that's a great looking truck. Hardtop, winch, fiberglass seats, air assist steering (looks like it), etc. The best advice I can give you is just to read-sit down at night and rear threads in the deuce forum. After a few hundred threads, you'll be amazed at how much you...

Ah, grasshopper, hone your search karma and the information Gods will open the skies with learnage and data and facts. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/9878-right-crimping-tool.html http://www.steelsoldiers.com/electrical/27248-electrical-connector-parts-crimpers.html...

Read this: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/5-ton-up/57763-changing-front-axle-seal.html and this, although it's a deuce the principle is the same http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/8460-front-axle-seals-boots-stepxstep.html

I bought ALL new gauges for my dump deuce...... I think I paid Saturn about $35/40 for each of the small gauges and maybe $50 for the speedo and I paid acetomatoco (RIP) $50 for the NOS tach, plus shipping. Believe me, I wish I could replace all the gauges and stickers (and buy a can of rapco...

Dug and Gimpy's comments are epic. They are now our official SS Satire-Masters.

I'll bet that's a civvy trailer (potentially homemade) that happens to share the same VIN sequence.

You took advice from wreckerman and you aren't dead or in jail?

I don't think you're crazy-sounds like you are doing everything you should. Reading the manuals, lots of experience driving a manual transmission, getting insurance lined up, asking questions on SS, etc. I would definitely see if there are any SS members nearby that you could entice into...

JDToumanian and HndrsonJ hit the nail on the head.

Katahdin is correct I believe-that appears to be an early LDT-427, so this is an A1. I wouldn't try to restore it but the rear PTO and axles are worth a little something. I would not pay more than about $400/$500 for it. Sell the engine to a restorer, sell the axles, sell or keep the pto...

The wires going in and out will be circuit #75 I think.
