    Obvious differences between engines

    I'll take that bet. :smile: Both D blocks have the TD cast mark.

    Ugh...Those brake lines look awful.

    Obvious differences between engines

    I have two 1Ds and strangely enough they are casted differently, its most noticeable around the area of the water pump. One is more rounded, the other more square. Both are Continentals.

    ISO Bed on a M35??

    M109A4 has the Cat+Allison. The M109A3 has the good ol' M35A2 drivetrain.

    Official 2015 Ga. Rally buy/sell/trade thread

    Howdy, I was wondering if I could get someone's assistance in picking up a sprag kit at the rally and shipping it to Maine. I will of course compensate for shipping and handling.

    Question about M109A3 Shop Van body rivets

    Welcome to SS! On my M109 the rivets had mushroom caps that are aluminium but the rivets themselves were steel. I use steel when replacing the rivets.

    Low on power, need assistance please.

    The fuel pump pulls out from the top, see pic. Edit: forgot to add, M109 owners will need to remove the tank first from the truck because the van body box rides lower then a cargo bed. The pump can be removed from a M109 if the box floor has been cut out, I've done it that way too.

    Low on power, need assistance please.

    Filter changes don't necessarily cure all your problems. Most "New-to-me Deuces" will probably have slime building up on the pump intake screen that obstructs the fuel flow. Here's one I pulled today on a new-to-me m35A2. I recommend new deuce owners clean out their tanks and pumps before...

    Low on power, need assistance please.

    Are you certain the transfer case is in high gear?

    Survival 109 build

    I think RustyStud had a few too many last night...deuce LH threads are on the driver's side.

    Can you tell where the fuel leak is coming from?

    Survival 109 build

    QUADJEEPER had already rebuilt all of his brake cylinders less than a year ago....see post #7...seems to me he went looking for trouble and the M109 slapped him. ;-)

    Snow-Deuce (Chesuncook Lake, Maine)

    The only way into this lodge/village in winter is either by lake over thick ice or groomed snowmobile trails on unplowed paper/timber company roads, so not much risk of lodging the ski's into something if the operator stays on course. The area is remote by most standards, completely off the...

    Snow-Deuce (Chesuncook Lake, Maine)

    A closer look at the tracks and skiis. Looks like there is a snow plow mount off the front axle too.

    Snow-Deuce (Chesuncook Lake, Maine)

    Does anyone here have any information about this "Snowmobile-Deuce"? I found the picture online. I'm actually heading up to Chesuncook village two weekends from now on a kayak trip, I'd love to get a closer look! My best guess is its used to haul heating oil and kerosene across the lake in...

    M35a2 trailer

    I'll suggest flat-towing one of the Jeeps. I've used a military towbar to pull my Jeep TJ that distance several times, it works great.

    GA to OK in BFR's/Papabear's/Patracy's Deuce.

    Memphis Equipment should have any parts you would need if you run into equipment trouble. http://memphisequipment.com

    It started as a simple road trip.

    How thorough was the tank cleaning? Did you pull the in-tank pump and clean the intake screen? Did you check or replace the pump hose in the tank?

    Brake fluid leak, fix now or fix later?

    Pics look good. You'll want some of these copper washers on hand for when you install the new/rebuilt wheel cylinder. Re-using the old copper washers don't work very well in my experience. One each per wheel cylinder. These are #16 and #14 on the diagram frank8003 posted...

    Brake fluid leak, fix now or fix later?

    The leak will only get worse, the rubber cups are probably old, dry rotted, and cracked. Fix it now or park it until later.
