    Where overhauled?

    Another TEAD here. Question: Does the truck typically go back to the same unit after overhaul?

    OEM Deuce Batteries

    My hawkers I posted about earlier are coming back to life, I've been charging them indoors with a 12 volt electronic charger for the last several days (switching it back and forth). Initially the charger would abort on the worser battery at the 10-20amps setting but completed a charge using the...

    OEM Deuce Batteries

    My 66' 109A3 arrived Wednesday with two 12 volt Hawker AGMs. It was a TN National Guard truck sold from Campbell. One battery appears to be in 'hibernation,' I'm trying to revive it with a Schumacher electronic charger. It'll charge to 100% then discharge to 10-20%. Read one bulletin that...

    Hotshot Transportation Co. ~ New Truck

    I just wanted to say I had a great transport experience with Eric and Bill who delivered my M109A3 yesterday. They hauled it up to Maine from Fort Campbell and managed to move a 5 ton to Vermont at the same time! Here's some pics!

    Any "mechanically unsavvy" owners?

    I'm looking forward to learning about my new deuce, I think its great so much knowledge is documented on this site and everyone is so helpful. The PMs are great. You might need need the skills when you can't get to a mechanic. Ie Saturday night I lost 4 wheel drive on my plow truck in the...

    New Guy from NH

    Welcome, another new guy here just NE of you near Portland. My M109A3 is set to be delivered in the next coming days. Neat rig. I'll probably install screw-in filters as well, seems to be what all the cool kids are doing. I hope it helps, lets keep those multifuels running a long time.

    Does anyone make their own Bio-Diesel???

    My first deuce is arriving next week, so I can't comment on how it runs yet but I imagine it'll work fine provided the biodiesel has low water content and you're running it above gel temperatures. I built a Apple Seed processor when home oil prices when sky high and used B10-60 in my home...

    1963 Popular Mechanics Article

    Came across this multi-fuel engine article reading old copies of Popular Mechanics online. It talks about the Deuce with the LDS-427 engine. Thought it was interesting enough to share: Swirl Chamber Engine Runs on What's Handy

    Still waiting for my Deuce to be released by GL

    I suggest you call the GL site manager to verify its still on hold. My Oct 1st M109 that was on the hold list was loaded up last night, the EUC was my holdup, not the hold.

    OK, so Eric at Hotshot delivers deuce today and it has NO gauges or lights working

    Eric is picking up a M109A3 at Fort Campbell for me as I type this. Long day for him!

    2009 vin info thread

    Crazy. The odometer currently reads 26,968. So given your record findings, this truck has only traveled 38 miles under its own power since the first year of Reagan Administration?! Edited to add, donation complete. Thanks!

    Another Dam[n] Yankee From Maine

    Today a GL employee escorted my brother over the truck so he could get the VIN number for registration and insurance. My brother had previously inspected and started the vehicle before the auction. The truck now had two flat tires, the cab floor was torn up and you could visually see that...

    Another Dam[n] Yankee From Maine

    Thanks all. If you haven't been reading the EUC Help forum the invoice cleared on day 68! I solicited 3 bids for transport from regulars on the site, two low bidders tied so I went with the first low bidder which was Hotshot Transportation. Really impressive support network you have here...

    Another Dam[n] Yankee From Maine

    Thanks, as much as I'd like the adventure I'm going to have a professional haul it up from Campbell. My brother is a soldier on base and has been over the truck, fired it up, etc. He's driven a few deuces in Kuwait. Luckily I'm getting a referral bonus for hiring another guy at work (same guy...
