My Military batteries finally died and I priced replacing them, $450 each. So instead I did a short term fix and spent $45 a piece for interstate refurbs. So far they haven't had any problems. I also moved my battery box and built it to stack the batteries vertically on independent shelves...

That'll work great. Time to get to work on it. Thanks

Thanks for the info, gives me a place to start. Do you know the depth of the groove and the spacing from top and bottom? I knew it couldn't be that complicated. Once I get this made and mounted I can start on the skate/carriage. I'd like to add that this is the most helpful group of people...

I have checked the TMs and as many pictures as I can find and have not been able to find the dimensions of the M49 Ring mount. Specifically I'm looking for the ring itself. Inside diameter, thickness of metal, specs on the lip at the top and bottom. I work in a machine shop and really want to...

As a fellow welder with my own fab shop I've also been thinking about a way to use the deuce to haul 20' lengths of steel. Don't always order enough to qualify for free delivery from the supplier. Glad someone else tried it out first. Definitely want to figure out a front bumper attachment...

Do you see this as something to happen on a regular basis in the future. All the good items seem to be consolidating in OK now, might want to work out something for future auctions if you are going to have a load coming back. Just down the road so pick up in Greenville is ideal.

I took my first ride in a DUKW in Boston a few weeks ago, asked my wife if I could sell the deuce and get a DUKW.....I'll bring her around eventually.

I have only heard back from 1 of the 2 companies that make spring starters, unfortunately they do not make one small enough for the application. And they basically told me it would not be cost effective for me to order just one. Now looking into the hydraulic starter which is made in the US vs...

I have emailed 2 manufacturers, one out of Canada one in the US. Hopefully I'll have more info to share on pricing and application tomorrow. I really like the idea of cutting out as much electrical as possible and the starter is a big one, after that the alternator is basically powering your...

I love my 1970 M35A2, what I don't love are 2 shot batteries. I bought it back in 2008 so who knows how old the batteries were at that point but as of this spring they are 100% shot. Since the batteries are only used for the lights and starter I was wondering if I could find a work around to...

Have to remind me at the MRAP tires the 395/85R20s or the 14.00R20s?

I completed my power steering install on my 1970 M35A2 a while ago and am finally going to post my updated install instructions. The instructions that come with the kit are pretty good but I hit a few stumbling places on the way so I figured I'd make it easier for the next guy. Instructions...

Are the two Jeeps still available? Do you know what year range they are? And what State are they in, Mississippi?

Just called up Long's Wheel and Rim in Jacksonville, FL 1-800-874-0869 and had a nice discussion with them. They still have the plans for the 6 lug, 6 spoke wheels for the M35 that used to be offered by odiron.com They cost $235 a piece and it was $160ish shipping to SC. They recommend...

First off I want to say that your truck is awesome. Now to my question. I'm looking at doing something similar and wanted to know how difficult it was to mount the hemtt cab to a deuce frame and how far back did you move the engine to put the cab in front? Do you have any pictures of the cab...

Ok I have a question. I have seen the PulseTech item with and without an actual solar panel. I'm assuming that the one without just keeps the battery in good running condition and uses the battery's power to stop the buildup inside the battery. The one with the solar panel I believe also...

I'm looking at adding 16.00R20s as well because I wanted tires a little larger than the NDTs my M35A2 came with. Will the 16R20s work or am I going to have to do all the things mentioned above. I think larger wider tires would look better on the M35A2 and fill the wheel wells better but if...

I had a similar issue with mine, if you know how to set the idle and max rpm on your injector pump you'll notice you have a splined shaft with a rocker (which rests against the idle screw and will stop at the max rpm screw) Looks like a pendulum. Sometimes the splined shaft will slip in the...

Ok, that diagram just had me eating crow about a conversation I had with a buddy in Afghanistan. Where can I find that picture in English? I'm assuming it is the translation of a US document in relation to a military vehicle we (read the US) sold to a NATO country? If this diagram deals with...

I have been thinking about going with super singles when my current tires wear out...so no time soon... Here's a point that hasn't been brought up yet and I'm going to throw it out there to see if it makes sense to anyone else. While we do a lot of convoying in the military there is not...
