    Deuce antenna mount

    I am glad to see this thread. What about the slightly newer M35A2C drop site or the M36A2 which is right side drop only? Inquiring minds need to know. Need to mount one on my drop side too. jimm1009

    It is but it is for the buyer. There are three with-winch trucks grouped together around the M36. They all start and run well but don't ask mw how that I could possibly know that.:-D jimm1009

    Correct transmission oil

    GL-5 with yellow metal additives is more easy to find and one vendor is NAPA. They have it in a 5 gallon pail of which you will need about 7 gallons or so total if you are doing all the gear oils at once. See PDF attachement of pail lable. The label does not state that it has Yellow Metal...

    M105A1 wheel bearing part number

    I did some research on the M105A1 trailer and the A2 parts are listed but not the A1. I am going to go through my hubs and brakes in a couple of weeks on my M105A1. I do have the TM but was wondering if any one has a NAPA or Timken part number for the bearings, outer races, and the hub seals? If...

    new member here from florida got some ???

    With regards to paint, you probably don't want to try the genuine CARC due to needing a fresh air breathing mask. There are no cartridge paint masks to filter out the bad stuff that is going to damage your lungs without it. Rapco Pats (www.rapcoparts.com telephone 940-872-2403) in Bowie, TX...

    Using the deuce for emergency power generation

    There is a S.S. memeber selling a kit that has about 189 amps that piggy backs above the stock unit or his 24 volt GM based unit which is about 65 amps above 1,200 RPM. I purchased the 24 voilt unit and it is really slick + 5 amps is good too and it won't cost you an arm and a leg to get it...

    Which data plate am I missing here?

    I havwe seen teh "responisble agency" plate installed here on three deuces that had been rebuilt at Toole or one in Germany. I don't have one to hold up to the holes. Perhaps another one of us has that plate to check the hole pattern. Of course your truck would not have one of these unless...

    Questions about insuring a 1987 AM General (Harder to get insured)

    I'm not sure if it would help but perhaps if you show them a picture of your older truck and take a picture at the same angle and elevation of the newer truck and then take them to the agent and say "what the ****, over"? The trucks are the same no matter what year they are and who makes them...

    Which data plate am I missing here?

    Your picture view is not quite wide enough but if you are missing a 2nd plate that is very close in size to the one shown it is the data plate with the manufacture name, contract number, and serial number, etc. Can't tell with the reflection. Perhaps take a 45 degree angle shot and ad to your...

    trouble opening TM's on old site

    Try right clicking on the number rather than opening ti directly. You can download it a little easier that way and once you get it on your computer. If you need more help, let me or "us" know and perhaps we can help some more (or less). jimm1009

    More brake problems

    Also the brake pedal needs to be lubed on the pivot shaft from time to time as well. This is more than likely not the problem as the most common problem is internal corrosion and general "nastieness" in the cylinder as the wheel cylinders sometimes have. You can isolate and prove this by...
