    Deuce for practical off-road work

    Chicklin, since you say you've already purchased one, I won't mention how usefull we find the dropside truck to be when it comes to loading the square haybales (why did they wait to get the roundbailer until after I moved off the farm??) or when loading orchard boxes. :) A set of chains are a...

    what is missing from this deuce?

    Hmm, thing on the passenger side looks more like the vent line from the airpack... There is a MWO to have the line disconnected from the air intake with a vent cap attached to the fitting on the end of the line so that would not be a chance of cross contamination. Of course, my eyes are...

    Deuce for practical off-road work

    On the familly farm in VA, we use: A pair of M35A2's for general hauling (moving irrigation pipe, hauling orchard boxes, round bales, etc), a M35A2 with a 1025 gallon tank and pumping system for drafting water out of the river for use in the orchard sprayers and the hydrocooler at the packing...

    Fly In/Truck Show September 27 in Wilson, North Carolina

    Spotted this on the www.ncmvpa.com website and thought that I would cross post it here in case some of the North Carolina crowd wasn't checking that site... It's close enough for me to go to, and folks who fly seem to like old MV's (and vice versa) "The Wilson 1047 Chapter of EAA is hosting a...

    Tire replacement options

    RE: tire Take a gander at my website to see what folks have been installing on M37's... Same rim... http://www.garbee.net/~cabell/photos5.htm You need to find a tire shop that deals with heavy trucks or agricultural equipment... Not one that deals exclusively with cars, light trucks, and...

    Air in fuel?

    I've bypassed the fuel line on the suction side (supply) using a six inch long pipe nipple and left the return flowing back through the selector switch for the ride home on a "new" truck. That way, you know that you are not sucking air into the system and you save yourself some wrenching...

    Manufacture name on data plate does not match GL invoice

    Frank has got it right... That's one of the reasons GL gives for having you send in the SF97 application for them to verify instead of them just giving you one... It gives you a chance to ensure that the SF97 has the correct manufacturer on it. The LEO who will be looking at your rig will look...

    VA DMV now rejecting GL's SF-97

    RE: Re: VA DMV now rejecting GL I'd call Richmond and ask them how they expect you to title a vehicle that you purchased from GL (the Federal Gov't's Contractor) given that the they are providing you with a SF97 and a dealer reasignment... Ask them why the paperwork/procedure that used to...

    brake lites

    RE: Re: RE: brake lites Remember that a little dialectric grease on the contacts (nuts, washers, etc) helps keep your ground points from getting corroded... Also a good idea to smear some on the bulb contacts as the interenal parts of the lights tend to get funky and it will help not only with...

    Gen. and Reg. testing

    Do you have the adapter kit that allows you to connect test equipment while the components are still mouted in the truck? If you do, then it's a relatively simple matter to hook up your voltmter, etc., and to test them. If not, it gets a bit interesting... The actual test procedures ares in...

    SF97 and Unknown Manuf/date

    The manufacturer and the date can be determined from the contract number that should be on the plate along with the serial number. Purchase a truck and then post the numbers here and somebody will tell you who and when... Good luck.

    No more $50.00 starting bids for Demil B & Q Property

    Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: No more $50.00 starting bids for Dem Actually, the sad thing is that I don't think that they really saved a lot of money... The stuff all got removed by hand (by six soldiers), cataloged (by two other soldiers), seperated into different shred bins (depending on...

    M101 prices

    It appears to be a M101A1. You can tell the difference between a M101 and M101A1 from the brake handles (unless, of course, somebody has doone some swapping of assemblies...). You've also got the bent bar welded on the a-frame for the intervehecular cable plug to rest in when it is not in...

    M274 added to the family

    Bill's website is located at: http://www.m274mule.com/home.html He's an absolute "gem". Best thing about him from my perspective (other than his vast knowledge and supply of parts) is that he is only an hour or so down the road, and that he will take my phone calls on nights and weekends when...

    Who sells coolant cab heaters?

    Hmmm, perhaps my photo request wasn't as clear as I thought... I was thinking about doing this tpe of instalation on my XM813 (mounting the heater on the driver's side) since I have seen a few trucks setup this way and since you mentioned it was the setup you had. I was asking for photos of...

    M-37 disc brakes

    Ray was charging $560 an axle but had a price increase August 1, 2008 of I think $60. You had to ship the hubs either to him or his East Coast contractor at your cost, shipment back to you along with the rest of the kit was included in his price. Currently, the only items that do not ship in...

    In tank fuel pic up assy.

    Years ago I acquired a stock in tank filter unit from John Bizal at Midwest Military... I never used it (it's on a shelf somewhere in the shop). Instead, I have a fine mesh brass screen over the end of a straight pickup tube in the tank. A very nice pair of spin on filters is mounted on the...

    No more $50.00 starting bids for Demil B & Q Property

    RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: No more $50.00 starting bids for Demil B I was over at one of the yards last week picking up a truck and noticed an entire load of stuff (filled a 900 series cargo truck with a trailer) headed accross the scales and then on over to the shred bins. I had gotten a good look...

    Can you take a few photos of the setup so I can see how it all gets stuffed in or send me a description of how it was installed? Thanks.
