I scored an S-280 shelter, 50 5 gallon MWCs and just for the heck of it a M-68 duct heater. No one bid on the duct heater so I just threw a bid on it for fun. I lugged it home and it fired right up....
Still have to get the S-280 from Riley, luckily they are right down the road.
A friend of mine's father has an old M37 sitting out back of his farm. Not rusted but it stopped running probably 20 years ago and they parked it there. There she has sat. But what perked my interest was the winch on it and how it is all there.
Are winches for M37s common?
Trying to decide if...
Can anyone point me to a diagram showing where all the parts and pieces go
when mounting the winch?
I have the bumper off mine now and ready to mount it and just want to make sure I put all the pieces in their proper place....
thanks!!!
I just won a MEP 701A 3 kw diesel generator with a lil over 500 hours and just fired it up.
It has a dead battery so I jumped it with my Deuce. It started right up
and ran for about 5 minutes. Blew some dark smoke out of one exhaust
a couple times and then popped the DC Control Circuit breaker...
Thanks to this forum I located a winch for my Deuce. I got it from Shootiniron, with a great price and even better service, and now I have it sitting in my shop.
THANKS SHOOTINIRON!!!
I'm only in need of two minor pieces. A shear pin and the cab lock for the lever.
Can anyone tell me where...
I was talking to a friend and he related how M113 APC tracks could be fitted to
the duals of a Deuce to make it into a halftrack. He said it worked along the same pattern as what Christie did back in the 20/30s. He related how he saw it done in the USMC using old M113 tracks which were put right...
I would indeed greatly appreciate it.
Right now If I have the trailer loaded I have to
grab my wife for a hand, but she's headed to Iraq.
I'll be in Barry IL in a few weeks, how far are you from there?
thanks!!
For all you guys bobbing Deuces, I'm looking for the late style two wheel crank up landing gear for a M105A1 trailer.
I have the old style Big Wheel landing gear.....and it is a pain taking the trailer on and off by myself. Would like to swap it for the new style.
Anyone have an excellent...
Just wanted to thank everyone for their help.
As expected you guys came through and it looks like
I'll be mounting a winch shortly!
thanks again guys!

My Deuce is coming along nicely, just got a brand new bow kit and cargo cover for it. Next I plan on upgrading my tires to at least 11x20s.
But I know I am not going to be happy with this truck until I have a winch on it.
I'm next to Fort Riley here in Kansas, anyone know where I might find a...
man that is awesome! Very nicely done and looks like a great time!
I'd love to have a M109 to turn into a camper.......maybe I can find a nice
S-280 shelter and do the same thing....
So, then my question is, do the 11x20s offer enough of an advantage to bother with, or rather than spending the money on them would it better to step up to a larger tire......and if so, what combo?
Unfortunately, I don't have deep pockets on this.
Would the radial 11x20s offer a significant...
