True, all the work is done through the access panel inside the door, and you'll have to jockey the window up and down a few times to clear linkages and get the room to move things around. If you've got big ol gorilla arms, find someone skinny to help ya out! ;-)

I had the same problem with the passenger door on my deuce. I took the latch assembly out and had to straighten the latch mechanism as it looked like someone tried to force open the latch from the outside while the door was combat locked from the inside. After fixing the latch assembly, it was a...

I left the oil on for a few days to see how much good it would do for the aged, weathered and heavily oxidized paint. Yesterday upon closer inspection, I saw the fine dusting of wind-bourne dust that collected on the hood, so I got a soapy rag, hosed and washed the hood, side engine covers and...

After straining some WMO into my tank, I used an oily rag to wipe down the severely oxidized paint and WOW! What a difference! I decided to try the same trick on my ancient dry tires. Wiped on just enough oil to give a moist shiny coat and about 15 minutes later, they were dry again. 5 wiped-on...

Well darnit Shawn! Sounds like the General is making a career out of being a pain in the brass! Good luck and I hope ya get all the gremlins worked out soon! :popcorn:

Welcome to The Green Iron Laughing Academy! The M35A2 is a great vehicle if you're a survivalist, prepper, camper, off-roader or like driving something that gets a lot of attention, especially if you don't mind going slow. There are not too many vehicles in thier original factory condition that...

When I read the subject line on this thread, I just knew it was gonna go over like a turd in a punchbowl! rofl

My deuce had the same problem before I go it. The previous owner just jumped the starter solonoid to get it running, but since my recovery trip was an overnight run, I needed lights so I ran a .014 gauge wire from the main power switch on the hot side, to the hot lead on the batteries. Flipped...

If you register it as a Historical Vehicle and you won't have to upgrade your license. California is funny like that! [thumbzup]

Point well taken! Makes me wanna carry a small generator and hang a little window AC unit in the back window of the cab. Ok so it's kinda redneck, but it beats the stuffins outta heat stroke! :jumpin:

Outstanding job! Looks like it's all ready to rent out to the studio companies for a war movie set in Vietnam! [thumbzup]

Me too! Good reason not to wear shorts when you drive a deuce! aua

Better than futzing around with a drip pan, Get yourself a soda or beer can and a hose clamp big enough for the slobber tube below the turbo. Cut the top off the can and cut two verticle slices about an inch long and about an inch and a half to two inches apart. Slip the clamp into the slits and...

Ok, silly question time: Why didn't ya just drive it? :?:

The brakes on the M105 I have are hydraulic with an air diaphragm so that they can be activated by the air system on the deuce via the gladhand on the left rear of the deuce. When you step on the brakes on the deuce, the air sent to the trailer pushes the diaphragm actuating the master cylander...

Open the left gladhand valve and then try it.

I wish someone had told me about keeping the elbows tucked before I got my deuce. While navigating on small residential streets, I was cranking the wheel to make a left turn and about half-way into the turn, I gave a hefty tug on the wheel and BANG! I nailed the top edge of the door with my left...

Hey palskidoo, Did you get the PM I sent you with the info on the 3-lever light control?

Hey blisters13, With all due respect to Lextreme, ya might wanna check with the Riverside County folks as we're in Riverside county. Not too sure if what San Bernardino county says matters too much here since we Banning dwellers as well as Idyllwild in the San Jacinto Mountains are all part of...

I had the same issue so I pulled the horn button apart and found the brass contact areas were tarnished with enough green fuzz to prevent un-resisted contact. I took the button assembly apart and scrubbed the contact areas, then gave them a light coat of engine oil (finger collected off the...
