It looks like a M750 trailer chassis. Does it have 900x20s on it WM? If so one of the deuce tractor guys should want it as it is the only tandem trailer made for the deuce tractors. At least those guys making deuce tractors should buy the spring stuff and use them under their deuce tractors for...

One enhancement item that was recommended to me by both Jack Tomlin and John Tennis (both very, very knowledgeable OD truck people) was to find a scrap M750 and take the springs off and put them on the deuce for extra weight carrying ability. I used a M750 trailer with my truck and it looked to...

Good job. Looks familiar.

Very clever way to get in and out with a trailer attached. I like it. Might just have to do something like that for my unit. Very well done.

Looking good Dan.

Remember to have handy some warm clothes. Like sweatshirts etc. As every year we will have a nightime temp around freezing by the 15th of Sept. at the latest.

Were it me I would call the parts department at Butler Cat in Rapid City. CAT uses it on a lot of their stuff. They should have it in bulk. Godfrey Brake should have it also.

The trannny fluid was 30w when the truck was issued and used for most if not all of its Army career. However when Memphis Equipment rebuilt them they switched over to ATF. So you will have to check that out. Also a lot of folks did also flush the tranny and then use ATF. Were it me I would...

I cannot wait for the second act. And I bet the third is a real hoot.

This is what restoring an MV is all about. Thank You.

You need to get copies of the manuals for operation/maint and the ORD9 parts for the G-749 trucks. Send me a PM with your mailing addy and I will send you a PDF master copy of both. They used to be posted on this site before the manuals went puke.

To run the truck; (use the picture in my above post to see the shift patterns for the regular and REB positions) 1....Put the regular shift lever in neutral and the REB lever all the way forward to 1st gear. 2....Pull the start lever back and it will start. 3....Put the regular shift lever in...

It does have a REB kit. You need to not use high range reverse. Only use low range reverse. Put a carriage bolt in the slot where high range reverse is so you cannot get it in reverse in that range. The REB kit instructions say to do that. But all G-749 series should not use High reverse. Here...

215 is correct if it is a issue dump truck. I cannot really tell but from the first picture I do not see M135 wheel rims on the right front tire. So if it were a modified M135 it would have to have had some of the rims replaced and axles moved as the M215 is a short wheelbase and the M135 is a...

The table came out of a old 72 Winnebago I had. Also the furnace, fridge and sink came from it. I put the power boxes under the counter next to the fridge. Put fridge in the right rear corner and reset the fridge door so one can open it from the ground to keep from having to get into the van...

Here is what I did for the bunks, Storage under the bottom one. Left the corner supports high as I might want to add a head board storage later. As we all know there are many, many ways to do the bunk thing. This way seems to work for me. Oh ya ! I went and got the best mattresses I could and...

The M34 I believe was first delivered to the Army for pre production testing in 1949. With production deliveries starting in 1950. The newest M34 I have seen was a 1952 model. The first ever Manual printed for the G-742 family (M34,35 etc) was printed in 1950 and only addressed the M34s, no...

Yes I have a M35A3. There are 2 A3s in the hills that I am aware of. I sent you a PM. Also it would be no problem showing you an A3 or you could drive it if you wish.

[ I may be cutting down the deuce bed, not sure I want to be adding to the frame, seems adding to the frame will limit the weight I can haul on the pintle. If you add to the frame using a deuce frame/pintle section then I would think you can haul pretty much what a deuce can haul. And if you...

If you do not add to the M818 frame I would add two rear attachment points to the box and frame towards the rear of the frame. But you need to think through how you will attach a pintle hitch. If you want to be able to pull a trailer the existing M818 pintle will be sort of to far forward I...
