I use my Deuce at night a lot, sometimes in thick woods or tight places. I really need to install some good back up lights. Has anyone come up with a nice setup that looks like it "belongs" on a Deuce? Any suggestions appreciated. CBVET

Would like to filter used motor oil/ transmission fluid/ gear oil to mix with gasoline for my multifuel. Any thoughts on micron size I need to filter down to? Thanks, Eric

While putting the winter grill cover on my M35A2, I noticed a small receptacle by the right headlight. Facing the truck, it is above & to the right of the headlight. It has a spring-loaded cover & a single wire going directly to the battery +terminal. What's it for? I know, somebody's going to...

Contacted a local Lubricants dealer, looking for GL1. He was telling me about a product he sells called Hy-Per Lube. Claims it should be added to engine oil, gearboxes, & differentials. Says it is similar to the "original" STP, in that it sticks to gears, bearings, seals, etc, so that there is...

Picked up a cable. Heavy rubber 14/12 conductor. Has male & female ends with spring-loaded covers. I thought it was an extension cable for a trailer light hookup, but not quite. I believe one end will fit into my deuce trailer outlet with a little rubber lube. The other end is NOT a trailer plug...

Just got some good GI 5 gallon fuel cans. I need a couple of good spouts, & 6 new gaskets. Anybody know who has some? Thanks, Eric

Have a 1970 M35A2. Does anyone have a list of ALL the parts needed to add a winch? Sure would be appreciated. Eric

Went to the annual Vietnam Veterans reunion in Kokomo Indiana again this year. This was my 23rd time. Drove my Deuce the 90 miles. There were 2 Vietnam gun trucks, Wild Thing, & Psychotic Reaction. We would occasionally parade through the park, giving rides & getting our pictures taken. Great...

When I bought my first Deuce, it came with the Winter Cargo Cover installed. It looked good on the truck. Problem is, you can't readily roll up the sides for parades & such, so we took it off in favor of a vinyl cover. Upon removing it, we discovered it needs repair. There is a second layer of...

Spotted an M812 at a truck lot. I'm used to my deuce. This thing with the 14:00/20's is BIG! All I know right now is that it looks good & I was told it "will run down the road". What should I look for? Any guesses as to value? Your advice would be appreciated. Eric

Does anyone know where I might find instructions on the proper military tie-down of cargo covers & end flaps on a Deuce? Must be a manual somewhere. Thanks, Eric

Finally got around to replacing a torn knuckle boot. I seem to recall someone "guesstimating" it would take about 2.5 tubes of grease. Would you believe closer to 7?! Seven tubes X average 270 "pumps" per tube = A LOT Eric

Anyone know where I can get a trailer connector (plug) which will fit my Deuce trailer outlet? Want to set up a civilian trailer with 24 volt bulbs. Thanks, Eric

It seems to me that I recently saw something about a multifuel Deuce running without the in-tank fuel pump working. Never really thought about it, as I figure my Deuce runs well. Doing a little PM today, I wanted to drain the primary fuel filter. I'd guess it hasn't been drained since I got it...

Finally got the clutch & rear main seal in the 1952 gas M35. Runs great! Any suggestions as to an easy way to test the sprage to see if it's engaging? (Sprag? Sprage? Sprague?) I'd rather not get it stuck in a sand dune to test it. We have stuff here they call "sugar" sand. You can go through it...

Have a 1970 M35A2 with no winch. Just came across a 5 ton dump in a local scrapyard. Engine is gone, but a lot of other parts are still there, including the winch. I see that the winch driveshaft comes from the right (passenger) side. On my 1952 Stude M35 gas, the winch driveshaft comes from the...

Starke County Indiana has a population of under 25,000. But our VFW in Knox Indiana works very hard to remind everyone what Memorial Day is all about. Veterans, current military, firefighters, & police officers will stand guard for a 24 hour vigil. There will be a POW-MIA candlelight service...

Windshield assembly for our Mighty Mite is really badly corroded & needs to be replaced. Anyone know of any for sale? Eric

While doing some electrical work on my M35A2, I remember an incident that happened in VietNam. One of our mechanics was working under the dash on a Deuce. I think he was replacing the 3-lever light switch. He didn't think it necessary to disconnect the batteries on such a simple job. He got his...

Does anyone know what it would take to install a winch from an XM211 on an M35A2? I can get the XM211 for a pretty good price. Body is very good. Perfect radiator. Good wiring. Engine won't turn, although starter "tries". Could anyone use any of the other parts? Eric
