If you haven't gotten it working by the Rally I'll bring mine up and you can use it.

The problem with this situation is you have no control over the person (or vehicle) after the sale is complete. I've looked at and helped recover a lot of deuces in the San Antonio area and have had issues with both vehicles and drivers. While most of these were not my trucks I still felt...

Thanks Mike. She told me the invertor and all the cabling was there but I'll check before I tell someone else it's good to go or before I bought it (if I wound up doing that). Like all others the Travel Wrap is toast but since it was buttoned up I couldn't tell if the walkway canopy was any...

Got the burner units into the ovens this afternoon (had to take a break to look at a deuce for a friend and turns out they had an MKT for sale there also). All of the MBUv3s that I have work but it turns out 2 of them won't fuel from a can. Once manually fueled they start and work fine but I'd...

Another day another direction. Bear with me. I don't have ADHD just some of the tendencies. I've decided to go with the flat aluminum stock to fix the blowouts instead of a washer. I need to pick up some material before I can do that so instead I started installing the MBUs. I have 8 so 6...

The roof (actually almost everything) is aluminum. That's why I'm thinking of going back with some flat aluminum stock instead of the washer. With the washer it's kind of tight to rivet but would be easy enough to do with the flat stock. JB Weld is cheap and easy to use so saves some effort...

The next fix also had to do with the walkway canopy pole. At the top of the pole is a curved pin that fits into a grommet in the canopy. Then there is a tensioning rod that goes from the pole and fits into a hole in the side of the trailer roof. You twist the tensioning rod and that pushes...

Yesterday I spent most of my time with additional cleaning on the MKT. I'm about 1/1000th of the way done as this trailer was put away very dirty and then sat for who knows how long before I got it. Today I decided to fix a couple of minor things that will go a long way in making the unit...

Looks like there have been some mods to it (all the seat belts in the back) so there might be some mechanical changes as well. If not, I agree with cyco, the 6.2 with stock 1010 axles is happiest (and healthiest) under 60mph.

I wanted to chime in on David at www.mvdatplates.com. I emailed him Tuesday with a question about my MKT (M103A3). He had other models of the M103 listed on his web site but not the specific one I was looking for. He emailed me back that afternoon confirming he had what I needed and we exchanged...

Welcome to the M1010 club. Looks pretty straight. Lavarok is the 1010 Guru and down in your neck of the woods. I recommend his excellent thread on replacing the DUVAC. Very easy to follow directions and is a great fix. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/electrical/37909-m1010-no-more-duvac.html

We've swapped many PMs and a flash drive. He's working on locating a Travel Cover and the Walkway Covers for me right now. My understanding is he and Green_Gator are cooking at the FL Rally this weekend. Wish I could be there helping out versus scrubbing petrified flour and grease off of mine.

A bit older shot of our place from Google Earth. It was before I put the cargo cover on the deuce so had to be before last summer. Also there's a 1009 in the driveway and haven't had one of those for a while.

All in all it took about 30 minutes to drop both legs and swap them out. A warning for anyone doing this, the brace that stays mounted to the leg in the "stowed" position needs to be installed prior to bolting the bottom sections of the leg back to the top. Experience is a fine teacher but the...

I pulled out the wrenchs and started working on the MKT this afternoon. At some point I'd like to "restore" it, at least clean up and paint what's rusted and faded, but right now it's more important just to get the bits and pieces back to a "working configuration. The first thing that needed...

It's the same key. Do a search and you'll find the code. Takes the standard Studebaker trunk key.

He said he needed a key to the driver's hatch.

Thanks Mike. I had to take mine down to get it inspected for the license plate and even going less than 30mph without the travel cover caused the walkway cover to flap and tear. There's no way I can take it out of town at this point.

Welcome to the site and welcome to the MKT club! Go to this thread and follow the instructions: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/conversations/56288-mkt-thumb-drive-contents.html. Mike will provide you with more material on the MKT than you can read in a month. He is the SS MKT Guru. I plan to...

No it's steel.
