    thinking of buying second mv

    Ok I'm back from the viewing. It's not in as great shape as I thought. It's a 1960 Curtis with a continental and no air shift on the transfer. 9100 mi and 89 hours showing. The bad: The brake pedal goes almost to the floor before stopping. The park brake cable is broken. The batteries are...

    thinking of buying second mv

    It has a Hercules MF in it with 7100 miles. Although I obviously trust mileage gauges in these trucks about as far as I can throw them. So I guess I'll get it and figure out the details later, though I'm still on the fence. I guess I could sell the deuce down the line as another option. Thanks...

    thinking of buying second mv

    Lol. I figured that's the response I would get. Going to meet the guy next weekend so we'll see how my driveway looks after that. Being a 109 I'm guessing this is the last one I'll see for a while. At least this time I know all of the pitfalls from my last purchase. Like someone mentioned, I may...

    thinking of buying second mv

    I just bought my first mv last may, an m35a2. My neighbor informed me of an m109 for sale local. Stopped to look and it's in sweet shape. Only wants 5500. So I have the cash but not too much space. I already have 2 cars a truck and the m35. I really want the 109 but I'm not sure if I'm...

    What's your Deuces' name?

    My M35A2 is "Charlie". Because of the C on the bridge plate. And of course I like the irony of the name.

    Fuel filter o ring help

    I used Napa #3511 and 3512. I also had trouble with the o-rings. I guess I used the wrong ones also. They fit perfect except for the rings.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I haven't really been following you modifications. So is this turning into an extended stay "camping" vehicle? You should start a thread.

    Tire tread life

    Most of my tires are 2003's with 60% tread. I do have a pair of goodyears from 1987 that were 95% when I got them. I was Leary about using them at first but the nice thing about the rear is you have a backup right next to it. As far as your tire, it's done. But you may get another 1000 before...

    Nice. What's the red light for?

    Reverse light

    It's on a switch. I tested it last night and it's really bright. I'll post a picture of that later.

    Reverse light

    Found a perfect fitting light for the back of the deuce. It's a 48w flood led. In the slim to none chance I would need to use the trailer plug I could easily flip the light. I'm happy with the results and look.

    Added fuel shutoff

    Electric is shorthand for one more thing that can go wrong.

    Added fuel shutoff

    I guess that's why lawn ornaments have the most problems.

    Added fuel shutoff

    Most runaways are fuel related.

    Added fuel shutoff

    Me too. I don't think it's an issue though.

    Added fuel shutoff

    I was inspired by Rustystud to add a fuel shutoff as an additional line of defense against a run away. I used a 3/8 yor-lok valve with compression sleeves. I also added a 15" handle extension. The zip ties are there to give it a professional look.
