    Installation Instructions for Rifle Bracket Assembly

    I am not too familiar with contributing Technical Publications into the website so I will start here. I just received TB 9-2300-209-20 today which relates to installation of rifles in most military trucks from the3/4 ton M37 to the 10 ton M123A1C. I scanned at 125 dpi for all 10 pages and...

    brakes locking up

    Actually I thought about putting an air pressure guage on the purge valve that you see in the photo and still may do so. This is not for everybody of course but my modification works well for me. There is an audible sound of air escaping from the shutoff valve almost all the time - this is...

    brakes locking up

    Temporary fix for air pack problem I've been waiting for somebody to post the problem of their brake booster locking up the brakes and want to show how I handled the problem. I was up in Live Oak picking up a 'C' turbo from Matt at Green Gems Army Surplus Depot and he described having similar...

    Pics of my rig new here and part number question!!!

    Here's another CUCV socket I bought this off of an Ebay auction a while back because it was advertised as a CUCV tool. I think it is used on the M1009 but not sure; I have an M1008 and want to eventually obtain an M1009 so one day it should come in handy.... Another member may want to see...

    Proper Installation of an Inverter

    RE: Re: RE: wiring for 12 volt electrical with a 24 volt sys Thanks for that reminder Bjorn as I surely would have forgotten to do that! The switch would go on the dash with an indicator light too. I already have one switch on my dash to shut off that obnoxious sounding low-air warning buzzer...

    Proper Installation of an Inverter

    RE: wiring for 12 volt electrical with a 24 volt system I want to thank the respondents for their inputs regarding the installation of an inverter; it appears the solution is to hard-wire the inverter directly to the battery and forget about using the cigarette lighter. I just wanted to see if...

    Proper Installation of an Inverter

    wiring for 12 volt electrical with a 24 volt system This one is for CanadaDeuce. There have been a lot of posts regarding this item and the only real way to run 12 volt stuff with your 24 volt system is via the use of a voltage reducer, i.e., 24 volt to 12 volt. There are a lot of these on...

    Proper Installation of an Inverter

    I want to install an inverter in my 86 M1008A1 and my 68 M35A2C but have heard that inverters can ruin alternators or the diodes inside of them. A truck driver told me horror stories of being out in the middle of nowhere and having his truck alternator shut down due to using an inverter while...

    New CUCV

    M1008A1 owner says Hi! Congrats on your win with the truck! I live in Florida and own property in McArthur CA - five gorgeous acres off of Day Road. Eventually want to build a log cabin on the property then live there six months of the year. Up in that area a CUCV is the ideal vehicle to...

    Abrams electronic panel puller?

    Grab Bars Actually I was only joking but if I did want to make grab bars out of these, I could easily do it. I don't know how much weight they could handle because they are made of aluminum - probably aircraft grade knowing the government and their specifications. I do a lot of tinkering in...

    Abrams electronic panel puller?

    I bought a bunch of these off of a guy today who said they were used to pull electronic control modules out of the Abrams tank - I probably spelled that wrong too! I just thought they were neat looking but did I get taken to the cleaners on these things? I really don't have much in them at all...

    Military Radio Stuff for I.D.

    I plan to make "keychains" with one of these items because that's what they look like to me! If anyone has an interest in this stuff let me know!

    Plate, Antenna Mast

    Hey Thanks for the info! These plates are very thick steel so I am going to try and use them for another purpose in my Deuce - probably for overhead switch panels or taglight mounts for my CUCV since the color is right! I'll go on and post photos of the other radio items. If anyone needs this...

    Plate, Antenna Mast

    I picked up a bunch of these today along with a lot of other military radio stuff but have no idea what these are for. I have an M1008A1 and an M35A2C and have never seen these used on either vehicle. Hopefully the photo will come out okay. I am trying to figure out just how to use them for...

    Interestig auction on Ebay pertaining to the M1009

    You know, I may just buy that thing while I am thinking about it! I want an M1009 ......almost willing to trade my M35A2C for one (plus some cash) and it would be my luck that this would be the only item like it in existence! See Ya!

    Interestig auction on Ebay pertaining to the M1009

    Each day I look over the Ebay ads that pertain to the CUCV, M1008 & M1009 and found one that offers a three-page ad from a magazine that must have been from the very early 80's. Has anybody ever seen this particular ad and if so what periodical would it have been in? The starting bid is $9.00...

    Need a source for these shut-off valves

    I want to buy new shutoff valves prior to installing the heater in my Deuce. Anybody know where to buy these? I also have two items that need identification that you see next to the valves. They look like the might hold decon containers or fire extinguishers. I can only guess what they...

    Hire a Huey?

    Taking passengers for rides in a Huey Prior to 9/11, I was a crew chief aboard Huey 658 and we flew passengers for $50.00 a pop at air shows in the Southest. The Huey was owned and operated by the Firelands Museum of Military History in Ohio. The entire staff of Huey 658 was composed of...
