Me too Lee in Alaska

Nice Family - I'd probably be able to get along with the "In-Laws" too! Lee in Alaska

The above comments are all appropriate. But.... I hate to admit it, but the plastic is best. It doesn't corrode, easier to run, and best of all, it doesn't work harden/fatigue and break. Like copper, it should be tied off and secured, but it will actually take quite a bit of abbrasion. Lee in...

The elbow modification is a good one!... But if any of you are really in the snow, for extended periods of time (like day after day), and its really important that your truck doesn't stop/filter doesn't plug, ie., like in some remote part of North America where your all by yourself....... The...

I just had mine re-done. They put a new reah half on it. Don't remember the charge. Power & Transmission 907-456-2230

That still looks pretty heavy, mounted that high up. Looks like it could be mounted lower on that same rack. That would give you some leverage in lifting it in place. Lee on Alaska

On the dash, and near the master cylinder there are "Cautions" that read: Caution : Add Silicone Brake Fluid only! MIL-B-46176 I have read here, others speaking on DOT 3 & DOT 5 brake fluid, but not Silicone brake fluid. Is this very common in the Deuce & other MV's with the juice...

Seems like there is a little O-ring around the drive gear that comes out of the T-case. Its not the adapter. There should be only a little grease in it, if it hasn't been diluted by the lube. Replace the O-ring. Lee in Alaska

They are NF bolts. I was mostly able to re-use most of mine. The funny lock washers are sometimes a problem. I try to clean them first, before I try to remove them. I know, sometimes, that is not possible. I use never sieze, when they go back! The military had a re build kit. Try the vendors...

RE: Re: RE: Re: M54 Bobed ready to roll That's a sharp truck. Would sure like to see how you mounted the rear end. Thanks Lee in Alaska

Don't get too excited about trying to find one. There might be a dry spell for a while, but then they will show up in a LOT. You'll find one. Lee in Alaska

Sharp trailer. You'll get a lot of use out of it. Next thing, you'll be looking for the side boards & canvas. Lee in Alaska

Towing a Deuce with another Deuce, and having the ability to stop it, in an emergency situation, is marginal, at best! In this State, (and I bet in most States), the law says that if the towed vehicle weighs 2/3's of the weight of the powered lead vehicle, it shall have brakes!I know a lot of...

They are often removed with a jack type carriage on creeper type wheels. You leave the wheel/wheels on, and just slide them off. Same going back on. I made a similiar type carriage, but without the jack part. I use a floor jack, under the axel, to adjust its hieght. I'll take a picture of it...

Keep after it Sam - you'll get it. I like your chains!. I have two trucks with the jewlery still on too. Lee in Alaska

You were extremely lucky with the tow bar incident. Safety checks may seem elementry, but they're not something to be over-looked. So much heartburn, can be avoided by a good "pre-flight"! Lee in Alaska

RE: Re: RE: Re: M818 questions... Pin setting is not the only issue. Also check the distance from the pin to the landing gear. On some of the older trailers, that distance was quite short - OR - there was a bend in the trailers frame (like a goose neck), and when you truned the tractor, the...

RE: A question for people with M37 and bobbed duece. I've had an M-37 since along about 1970 & its still pretty much stock. It is an excellant vehicle, because of all its parts are pretty much balanced. It is limited by its gearing to a max of about 50, but they really mean about 40 MPH. The...

RE: Re: RE: Cable Lube ? On the winch cable side of this thread.... What is the bad part of used motor oil? On the Speedo Cable side...... If your subject to cod weather, as I am here, use something light, but just on the bottom half. I use a dab of the light Lubriplate, aircraft grease. The...

Doesn't that just simply annoy you!. I would like to come across the Gorillia that over tightens those plugs. They just have to be snug. Its suprising too, how many Folks think that Servicing a vehicle , takes little skill. Real bad expensive things can happen when things aren't done right. You...
