I need a set of bows for my Deuce. Anyone have a set laying around they want to sell? Mine came with one bow, so I can get by with 4 bows if needed. I've tried Ebay and got outbid. I'll keep looking there, but I'm posting here just in case someone has a set they don't need and are willing to...

A couple of suggestions to help save you some time copying. There are quite a few manuals on this website at http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?module=pagesetter&tid=1. Also, many manuals, including the complete 9-2320-209 and 9-2320-361 series of manuals are available for FREE download at...

Good luck, it looks like a nice truck. I won't be bidding against you; I'll be picking up my Deuce Tuesday at SANG in Michigan. Watch the 15 minute rule; I was the winning bidder on mine at 4:59 pm when someone put in another bid, which extended the bid closing until 5:15 pm. I had placed a...

I'll (hopefully) be picking up my new Deuce from SANG in Michigan next Tuesday (3/22/06). Yes, I will post pics & details after I get it home. One of my first mods will be to install a keyed ignition switch as an anti-theft device (along with a couple of other mods) to keep my vehicle out of...

SPLIT RIMS CAN KILL YOU IF YOU DON'T MOUNT AND INFLATE PROPERLY! Believe it, I've already seen one person killed (as in dead, permanently) by doing it the WRONG way. That doesn't mean you can't mount & inflate your tires safely, I do it all the time. You just have to do it the right way...

Chuck is correct, the bill of sale is worthless by itself. No SF-97, no title without a fair amount of hassle in Michigan. I'm going through that right now. You have to get a LEO to fill out a form TR-54, "Vehicle Number and On-Road Equipment Inspection". Then you go to the Secretary of State...

Yes, it is a nice truck, but the auctions at Selfridge seem to go for big bucks. They had another nearly identical one, '71 AM General, hardtop with 19835 miles in running condition that they auctioned in January. It went for $3750. I looked at both of them when I was there in Jan, both were...

Hopefully I'll pick it up Tuesday 3/22/06. My friend got it started & drove it around and it runs fine, so I'm planning on driving it home and save the $450 it would take to have it hauled home. I'll post pictures some time next week. I bought it without looking at it, bought it based on how it...

Yes, my first thought was to get the old one rebuilt, but I'd have to get the truck home to work on it first. It is about 200 miles from here, and everyone I contacted wanted $1.00 - $1.15 per mile ROUND Trip to haul it back here - $400 to $450 I didn't really want to spend unless I absolutely...

I just bought a M35A2 from GL. The truck is in pretty good shape, but the starter is fried. Does anyone have a decent used starter they would part with? I tried Saturn Surplus, Memphis Equipment and Boyce, but they are either out of stock or want my first born son in exchange. I sure could use...

Found this link for a source of new hardtops. Prices aren't given, but I'll bet they are several hundred dollars or more. Fiberglass hardtops available for 2.5-, 5-, and ten-ton trucks. These are hand-made by John Tennis Industries. See photos here: http://www.m35products.com/hardtop.htm...

Hey Bjorn - What would you think of mixing an ounce or two of air tool oil, or other light lubricating oil, such as CLP, to the methanol to provide a little lubrication to the top end of the air compressor? It would also make its way to the airpack, and a little lube there wouldn't help either...

The original buyer signed an End Use Certificate which included the following requirement: "The property will not be sold or otherwise disposed of for use outside of the United States or to non-US Citizens/Nationals in the United States". Since you were not the original buyer this requirement...

Yes, working on 40 year old trucks get to be frustrating at times. Get a Dremel tool (available at Lowes, Home Depot, Harbor Freight, Sears, etc.) They are very usefull for all sorts of tasks, have hundreds of tools and attachments and fit in pretty tight spaces. I use the heavy duty cut-off...

My (hopefully) soon to be here Deuce has a "D" turbo. I DO love to hear that turbo whine though. I noticed in Dr. Foster's post on the super turbo upgrade he made that his turbo could be made to whistle by removing the silencer. Does the original "D" style turbo have a removeable silencer? If...

In many postings regarding batteries I've noticed comments regarding rejuvenating batteries. How is this done and where do you get the materials? Is it necessary to remove the old electrolite during the process? Is there a date code on 6TL batteries? Where is it found and how is it interpreted...

Right you are - I misread the TA & PS articles. I thought the cork seal went around the entire periphery of the bearing, but it only fills the keyway. But I suppose you could still fill the keyway with 2 pieces of 1/4" O ring cut to 1/2" long (since it appears the slot we are trying to fill is...

It seems like most every page on this forum has at least one posting about leaking rear wheel bearing seals. Often the problem seems to stem from the cork insert which is SUPPOSED to keep diffential oil from bypassing the outer seal and outer bearing and then getting into the bearings, then...

According to PS-28, the Multi Fuel Operators Guide, the max RPM for the multifuel engine is 2600 RPM. You can and should download a copy of PS-28 from the Technical Manuals sections. It has some neat AND important information, such as checking the fuel filters for water and doing a hydrostatic...

I have a few dumb questions about the batteries in a M35A2. I did drive M35A2s a bit while in the MA ARNG during the early 70's, but didn't pay much attention to the batteries. Dumb question #1: I believe reading in other posts, the original battery was something like a 6TL. Do these batteries...
