Lavarok forgot to mention that his M1010 is a "SHARK". If I ever find a CUCV ambulance it will have to be a shark as well!

Deuces are plentiful at GL now - that's where Eastern Surplus gets theirs. You would also have to add the cost of driving the truck from there to your location - I live in Florida so for me the cost of diesel would kill my budget! They do go through their vehicles to make sure all the fluids...

That's what I was thinking AZDeuce. I was hoping it would be something simple though. Thanks for the tips!

Awesome Kenny! If my buddy across the street didn't bring his equipment over I would never have gotten that stump out! I really wish that I had about another 10 feet of tree for the leverage part but that thing had died and it snapped off near the bottom. I hope I don;t have to go through...

Thanks for the info! The wear on that front tire indicates something is not right.

My neighbors would complain if I tried that technique! These trees definitely have strong root systems! During hurricanes, they act as a wind break and that helps keep the roof on my house. I have these all around my house but the problem we are having is pine beetles - that's what happened to...

Adding on again! I just took a few photos of the axle hub on the lube trailer for the benefit of one of the members who wanted to see the suspension system on these things. What I found interesting is the spacer for this trailer! Looks almost as if you could bolt it onto deuce axles for some...

I am adding on to another thread about this subject. My deuce eats front tires excessively! The passenger side front seems to be the worst and the wear is on the outer portion of the tire - almost like I am dragging the tire down the road at an angle or something. I have an Air Assist system...

Pulled out a pine tree stump today - actually two of them to be exact. The first one was easy and with a chain through the pintle hitch. That second one was a bear! My neighbor came over with one of his pieces of heavy equipment and dug around the roots of this stump but it still did not want...

I should have done something about this when I first got the door - at first all I noticed was the cracked glass inside the door because there was no oval access panel on this thing. The seller was nice enough to send me a replacement window as mentioned previously but the door basically...

The window clips are the little round things that lock the lifting pegs to the window frame runners, right? The ones on mine were like new and I used a mechanics mirror to be sure they were on correctly. Thanks for the reply by the way - I was beginning to think that nobody was interested in...

I saw a thread where a member wanted to replace his window glass and needed to know the type of glass to use. I took measurements of the cracked glass that I removed from two frames plus I took macro photos of the etched information on each piece in case it might help someone; I cannot find the...

All I saw on the door when it arrived was soe kind of clear and very wide tape that might have been placed there by UPS to keep the window from coming out. That door had to have been dropped several times during the shipment. I came home from work and found the door sitting by the entrance to...

Finally got around to replacing the driver's side window in my deuce today. The hardest part was dealing with the weatherstipping along the top outer edge of the door. I wanted to just replace the whole door with one I had bought years ago but UPS did a job on it and I need to hammer out the...

Just an update on the progress on my trailer. I cleaned the hopper in preparation for the GAA grease yesterday then stocked it with the two pails of GAA that I bought from a guy named Bagwell in New York. I filled the air tank via my shop compressor (still have to get the trailer compressor...

Very happy you are home safe and that the truck and trailer are really very nice. I only wish my lube trailer had more "spoils" inside the drawers - I was lucky to find a couple of bags of grease fittings and six button head fittings but none of the accessories that normally come with these...

You can even convert a deuce into a crane once you have a snatch block. Some of the TMs show how to do it. I am thinking about using my medium towbar with my 5 ton snatchblock to fabricate a crane just for the purpose of moving a few Chevy small blocks around the yard. The trick will be...

The GAA grease arrived this evening via UPS - 88 pound parcel with two metal containers of the good stuff. Also bought the final part that I need to complete the valve setup at the end of each hose. I called Northern Tools and found out my backordered valve would not be shipped until late...

All sorts of good things here in Florida disappeared since yesterday; mostly M1009s and trailers. All that seems to be left in this state are clothing lots that they will never sell with a starting bid of $150.00. People up in Jacksonville must be sick of looking at the same scenery in their...

Making some progress on my lube trailer. I bought all of the necessary fittings to hook up my grease guns and the one oil meter valve that I have. I took the grease guns and oil meter over to Northern Tools and matched up the parts right in the store. I also took a coupling fitting from one...
