    Wanted: 16.5 rims/tires for M200A1

    I am looking for any size smaller than 20" rims with the same lug pattern as a deuce to try putting on one of my gen trailers. I hope to be able to lower the height and make it easier to build a deck on the trailer. The M106 and the bolster trailers use these rims. Don't know what else is...

    Wheel Bearing Adjustment advice

    Checked the brakes on the Deuce using T M 9 - 2 3 2 0 - 2 0 9 - 2 0 - 3 - 2. No real problems till I came to the wheel bearing adjustment. This TM says: 1 .

    M332 Ammo Trailer - Before & After Pics

    Finally got around to cleaning up the ammo trailer I brought home from Richmond in December. The one I kept only needed a little scraping and some paint to change it from desert tan to OD.

    All dressed up Deuce ride

    My son is home after finishing his first year at the US Air Force Academy. Saturday there was a formal reception in Hickory, NC for him and the new appointees, and my son wanted to arrive in the Deuce. As chauffer for a formal affair I wore a suit and tie and David wore his dress blues. I...

    AMGeneral recruited to pitch at Crawdad's game

    AMGeneral thought they wanted him at the game to honor vets with our MV's, but they really needed a pitcher. That's right, our very own AMGeneral threw the first pitch representing the US Army at the Hickory, NC Crawdad game Friday night. He pitched along with people representing all the...

    Deuce PArking Brake

    Finally got around to adjusting the parking brake on my Deuce. I was having trouble with the cable as well. It wouldn't move. I was looking at it the other day and I found a grease fitting on the cable under the cab that I had been told about but had never seen. So... no grease in quite some...

    8,620 lbs of gravel

    Hauled 8,620 lbs of gravel home with the Deuce. The gravel hardly covered the bed. I expected the Deuce to "feel" heavy, but she handled fine except for hills - turtle slow. Had to remove an old basketball pole before spreqading the gravel. I thought it would come out easily, but it turned...

    Broken Shut Off CAble

    A month ago my shut off cable broke. Replacing it was not the problem, but now I got to thinking (always dangerous). I wonder if I caused it with the lock I had on it. For over a year I have been locking up my Deuce with a "U" shaped metal sleeve that fits over the narrow part of the shut off...

    Redstone Deuces - 2 questions

    I've been on Steel Soldiers for about 2 years and never seen so many deuces for sale at one GL site. Is there a story behind this many trucks up for auction? I can't go that far to preview, but wonder if it's worth bidding. What kind of shape do the Redstone deuces tend to be in? I know...

    NC Snow rides

    Just a few pics of the recent snow in western NC. It took a few tries to crank the Deuce since it was around 25. Let her warm up and took it out first thing in the morning. It did very well on the hills in our subdivision. Then the boys and I went four wheeling. HAd a blast. They built...

    Free M200A1 trailers but no tires.

    I am picking up 3 M200A1 trailers in Atlanta after the EUC clears, hopefully within a month. I bought the trailers for tires and only want one trailer. If someone in the area wants a free trailer or two and has their own 900x20's to put on, you can have them. All 3 look like this. Let me...

    Cruise Control and Recovery

    I won 2 M332 Ammo trailers from GL in Richmond and got my EUC approved in time for me to pick them up over Christmas while my oldest son was home from the Air Force Academy. We left at 3:45 and cruised along at 50mph for almost 7 hours, only stopping twice for fuel and relief. After the...

    Thanks, AMGeneral

    I am so grateful for members like AMGeneral. My Deuce would not start Tuesday morning, and I was able to get a hold of Brandon at work. He only lives 5 minutes from me and offered to come over after work, but he talked me through the troubleshooting, and of course, because of his help, the...

    EUC Ready

    Another EUC done in record time. Exactly 2 weeks after winning the bid on 2 ammo trailers, I got my paid in full invoice. Plan to pick them up in Richmond, VA Monday. Anybody had any experience with the Richmond GL guys?

    This should help with the EUC

    I may be the only one who had trouble with a first time EUC, but I am going to type this up with directions to an idiot’s version for filling out the EUC. Feel free to modify or redirect this to something else that works. During my EUC adventure:x, I found a preview page for the EUC, but...

    Where is the EUC sticky?

    OK, I've looked all through the EUC Forum and cannot find the sticky. I may be blind, but can someone tell me how to find the EUC Sticky? Thanx.

    Got my pick up stuck

    My sons and I got to use the winch last Saturday after I slid my pickup sideways. I usually park my pickup by backing into the woods, but there is a bit of a sideways slant to the terrain, and I have to be careful not to spin the tires or the backend will go downhill. Last Saturday I was in too...
