    What's the correct trailer for an MEP-802A?

    I looked through the TM 9-6115-641-10, and I didn't see any reference to a trailer. I also read through a bunch of threads here on SS, but I obviously did not find the correct thread. Can anyone tell me what the trailer is that they put the MEP-802A on?

    Horn question - Power Steering from M39 series

    Geeze. This horn issue is a never-ending problem. So I thought my solenoid was bad,and I replaced it with a new one from Erik's. Turns out the solenoid was just fine. I have 24 volts at the solenoid, and when I supply it with ground right at the solenoid, the horns just blow air but no horn...

    Spring 2015 to-do list for the Deuce

    Coolant filter & delineator plates Well, I got a few more things done off my to-do list. #1 on my list was to get the convoy lights wired up. I got that done a couple weeks ago, but I didn't take any pictures or video. I figured everyone has seen rotating convoy lights a million times. The...

    Filters for the MEP 802A

    I just won two MEP-802A units through a GL auction, and I read through all the 802A threads in this forum. There's a lot of great info her for an inexperienced person such as myself. I wanted to get all the filters I need, so when I pick these up, I'll be ready to get to work. GL said the...

    Uprights(staves, stakes) for M35A2C dropside cargo cover

    With the bolt of the drop-side truck engaged (pushed in), it is unlikely you will be able to seat your stave all the way into the pocket of the side rack. Therefore, you will need to drill a hole through the stave. This way, when you slide the stave into the pocket of the side rack, it will...

    It's A Thing Of Beauty...

    Wow. Congratulations. I would love to find an NOS hard top. Mine is all caved in and resisting any attempt to reform it.

    Uprights(staves, stakes) for M35A2C dropside cargo cover

    The pockets in a drop-side truck are slightly different than the pockets in a standard truck. The drop-side pockets have a hole drilled in the side for a locking pin to slide through. While the staves are all the same from drop-side to standard truck, you will need to drill a hole through the...

    St. Francis, MN - Military Appreciation day and equipment show.

    Does anyone know if the St. Francis American Legion is still doing this event? I see it was in September a couple years ago, so that's plenty of time to plan. I want to get it on my calendar, as I've missed the last couple of years. ~ Thad

    Installing New Bows & Cover on M-35A2C

    PIN: SIDE RACK LOCKING on M35A2C Look at the outside of the stave pocket while standing on the ground looking at the outside of your bed wall. There is a bolt/pin on all four corners of the bed that slides through a hole in the stave. I think this bolt is only on the drop-side trucks. I can...

    Availability of Zerostart 3500025 frost plug block heater

    Zerostart block heaters are made by Phillips & Temro out of Eden Prairie, Minnesota (western suburb of Minneapolis). I recently put a 3500025 on my Deuce, but it was very hard to find. An internet search didn't bring up anything. The 3500025 is listed as for the Hercules/White engines, is a...
