    editing motor pool entries later

    Once I enter a vehicle in the "motor pool" section of the website, can I edit the descriptions and pictures later? Want to put my keeper deuce up there, but as I change things on it gradually, I want to update the listing.

    Another SF97 question for GL

    When I bought things from DRMO, back before GL and Levy Latham got contracts to dispose of surplus property, I picked up trailers from them and they handed me an SF97 (Certificate to Obtain Title) the day I picked up the items. They didn't even ask me "do you need a SF97" when I called to...

    Deuce shutting down after 2 minutes???

    One of the deuces is doing something weird, I can't figure it out. Start it up, runs great, good pressure and everything, after 2 minutes of idling, it just stalls out. Plenty of fuel in the tank, batteries are okay, but not wonderful. Time is approximate, but always seems to be around 2...

    Distributors on M715 and M37

    Are they the same? I thought they were, but I sold a spare distributor from a M715 on eBay, the buyer got it for his M37 and he says it doesn't fit - the shaft is too long. ???

    Loading / Unloading a small vehicle from a deuce...

    I know there was a thread recently about unloading a small vehicle like a jeep from the back end of the deuce. A few chimed in, but I was wondering if the few who did (Stretch, et al) could post close up pics of the ramps that have fabricated for this purpose. I have the jeep, planning on...

    Workin' on Kaylee today - starting to go from CJ3A to M-38C

    To those not familiar with why I'm calling it a M-38C, it's because when this jeep resto (or rather, refurb) is done, she will almost change over completely to a M-38 in terms of looks and how some mechanical parts function, hence a M38C (C for Clone). A couple pics I took after working on the...

    SF97s - just letting you know

    To anyone waiting for an SF97 to be approved and returned by GL, I just got off the phone with GL, since it is past 30 business days of my SF97s being in process. They told me that it will be at least another 30 business days, because they sold so many trucks recently, that there is a massive...

    Military Fire Extinguishers and their refilling...

    Have a quick question - I heard the fire extinguishers used on MVs from the 1970s up through the early 1990s were filled with Halon, which has since been banned from manufacture due to problems with it being considered a greenhouse gas. That being said, is there a way to refill these old...

    Removing springs from M103/M105 series

    Has anyone ever removed the springs and spring hangers from the M103/M105 series of trailers? The manual says to remove a pin that goes through the side of the frame into the spring's end, but it looks like the pin is threaded somehow and won't drive through. Is there a trick to this I'm...

    Deuce spring seats VS. HEMTT spring seats

    Is there any appreciable difference between the comfort level of a deuce spring seat (which is okay, not wonderful, but a lot better than the original box seat) and the HEMTT spring seats? They look similar, but I've heard a few guys modded them, just wondering if it's worth the effort....
