The reason I asked for the photos is obvious in my picture. I can barely see Hercules and below it Multifuel. The the right is 2-90 and below a serial number is stamped in also. I noticed that none of these tags indicate which engine type you have. How do I determine that (i.e. is it an LDT...

Clinto, Thanks. My data plate doesn't look like that. I guess I have a rebuild tag only. I'll try to get a little closer look tomorrow.

Could someone please post a picture of their Hercules multifuel engine data plate (the one to the right of the turbo? Mine is very faded and all I see is Hercules at the top and the numbers 2-90 stamped into it. Lower down is another number 3995322 which I'm guessing is a serial number for the...

Could you post the part numbers for those speed bleeders? I put them on my M715 and it made a world of difference when bleeding the system.

Blythewoodjoe, You are so right about the michelins! I got the original mud flaps that I'm planning on using. I really like your tires and dump bob!

Wreckerman. Thanks for the kind words! She's definitely a keeper. However, she is the one who insisted that a bobbed deuce was okay but a full truck was not for our current location. I guess that shows who wears the pants in my family, huh?!

The deuce frame is already shortened. The bumperettes were left "outside" the frame. I was going to use my civy truck winch with a snatch block in the same position, but I felt that I might bend or break something with the winch. The block and tackle gave more "feel."

Here are some pictures of my bed installation. My wife and I did it by ourselves. We used a block and tackle to slide the bed from the M105 chassis to the deuce chassis on lawn timbers. Once we got it to a point that the block and tackle didn't work (about 3 feet). We used my engine hoist to...

Could someone tell me what this knob is below the light switch? Thanks. Steve

Kenny, I wished you'd been here too. I need someone to look her over for me. I need to learn what sounds are normal etc. According to Dave, the 36 was heading to Cape Canaveral. I'd like 1100 Michelin XLs eventually. Right now I've got to let the funds build a bit.

Sorry, Dave NEWMAN. I only corresponded with him about 150 times! Duh.

Dave Newson already cut it down for me. You can see the trailer in the background of one of the pics. Gimp, Kenny already spoke up for the M105 chassis. He's coming to get it on one of his expeditions. Thanks for asking.

Well I finally got my truck!! It came a few hours ago. Notice the M36A2 in front of my truck. It runs great, starts up very quickly. Everything works except the horn. I'll work on that soon. The M105 donor bed will go on this weekend. It definitely needs fresh paint. All in good time...

I know that GL has been a sore subject here of late, but I ran across this podcast that GL posted on their website (http://www.govliquidation.com/media/Multi-fuel-Options.mp3). Although basic, it was informative and the guy seemed quite knowledgeable.

Is there a civilian tire that is comparable to the Michelin X-series that is more readily available? 1100 Michelins are hard to come by. I thought of simply replacing the ndts with a civilian tire, but I want an aggressive tread pattern. Steve

M1075, Those sure are purty. That is definitely in my future. However, because 1100 michelins are hard to find, is there a civilian tire of the same size and similar aggressive pattern available? Thanks. Steve

Can any of the parts from an M105 trailer (talking about the wheel/hub assembly) be used on the deuce. I mean, the M101 has many parts in common with its prime mover (in its day) the M37 (brake shoes, bearings, seals, etc.).

Area52, Just roughened it, then paint.

Don't have the inclination nor the skills to do so.

Vinny, It's Gillespie "383" green (CARC substitute). I got it from RAPCO in Bowie, TX. $28/gallon. I saw your name come across my desk as a new member of the FFCMVPA. Welcome! I'm the newsletter editor. Steve
