    BOBBED EARLY Deuce

    M211 & M135 winches are PTO driven, just like on the M35.

    Got a Deuce! '62 M35A1

    It all depends on whether or not it was running when stored, how long it was stored, if it was stored "properly", and what has been done to it while it has been sitting (i.e. attempts to "fix" it, parts scavenged, etc.). Take a bunch of pictures (engine bay, underneath, trans, xfer, all PTOs...

    Skidders new LDS Deuce

    That's on MY LIST of potential repowers for if/when my stock multi-fuel engine goes to MV heaven.... Although I'm curious to see if Ian does any sort of engine swap or perhaps a multi-fuel power upgrade on Extreme 4X4... I might have to rethink my list....

    Deuce wipers

    OH, & on the topic of Electric Wipers VS Air Wipers?? Most people who have the Electric Wipers simply LOVE THEM! I have Electric Wipers on my M35, but I have Air Wipers on my XM211, & on my M38-A1, & on my M715. Some of these Air Wipers are vacuum operated (M715 & M38-A1) and thereby they...

    Deuce wipers

    Back to the original Q...... You are either getting insufficient travel of the inside horizontal bar, OR this horizontal travel is not being converted to provide sufficient angular travel of the wiper arm. Insufficient travel of the inside horizontal bar would tend to suggest that the 1st...

    Axle Seal Gremlins!

    Is there an easy way to visibly know that the seal is facing the correct way? ALSO, Question to original poster ("oldshep"): What sort of hub temps are you seeing after a 15-20min drive at speed? (I use an Infrared Gun to check my hubs, diffs, brake drums, xfer, & trans regularly.) Excessive...

    Cruising speed and rpm?

    Getting a bit Off-Topic, but where are the "expected places" that heads crack? Is this typical? What causes the cracks?

    Axle Seal Gremlins!

    :?: Have you checked your axle vents to be certain that they aren't clogged? You might want to remove them & clean them with brake fluid cleaner. Or replace with new ones. Or replace vent valve with a hose venting to a higher location or to the air cleaner. Some people use the more modern...

    Georgia MV Title Problems

    Use a title service company OR get a friend in another state to title it in their name then xfer it back to you. A car/truck w/o a title will be harder for you to sell in the future, so it pays to get one now! I still have a home in MI, so I title/register all of my old cars/trucks there...

    Is this even legal?!

    To be fair... The seller clearly says (in RED) "Picture #6 with the guy driving is for reference only." So he's not trying to imply that it comes with a ring mount. I think he just didn't have a full view picture of the truck, just the GL pics. As the recovery window narrows the...

    How do you mark your bumper?

    I have an old high school buddy who lost his brother in Nam. I've asked him for his brother's unit info, & this will go on my truck when it gets repainted. No one else needs to know what the numbers signify. I will know & my buddy will know. Good enough.

    Possible solution to the new GL deuce problem

    I have to think that your Congressman has more important things to worry about. Afghanistan Iraq Iran North Korea Health Care The National Debt The Economy Unemployment etc. etc. etc. You might get a polite letter in response, but I doubt much action will be taken.

    Is this even legal?!

    Just because he's aking $8.5K doesn't mean he'll only sell it for $8.5K.... I've sold a lot of cars on eBay, & it is pretty common to get buyers offering to pay a lower price. (Sometimes WAY lower...) The seller might just be setting the starting bar high so that he'll get offers near what he...

    Oil leak idenification

    Brake Cleaner works well to quickly remove oil. Then run engine & look for leaks. You might need to run at higher RPMs (higher oil pressure) to detect leak. On the Passenger's Side I SUSPECT that you have some slight weeping from your head gasket. If this is just external weeping and...
