I need one wooden bow for an M35A2 in good condition. I also need a drivers seat bottom cushion (non springer) for a deuce in good condition - mice ate mine. If someone has a cargo safety strap for a deuce that is the older canvas type for a good price I may be interested. Actually I could use...

Photos? What condition?

I run 60 psi in my A3 tires. It drives much better and gets better mileage. The Michelin tires are good for 80 psi, but the wheels as previously mentioned are red-lined at 60 psi. I talked to CM Automotive and they told me that the reason the CTIS limits the highway pressure to 45 psi is that...

Dave, you have got to be proud of that truck! No way has anyone been annoyed by your photos. You have been very creative with what you have accomplished.

I considered that, but the sound was a loud deep resonating sound like a large bell. Oh well, everything seems to be working now. I'm not going to take it on any long drives until I assure myself something else isn't wrong. The old belt wasn't that old and it was under proper tension. The...

Thanks Clint. Fortunately, I don't need another compressor. The compressor threw the belt. I have no idea what caused the loud metallic bang. It sounded like a sledge hammer hitting the engine block. I was very happy when I saw the belt was off and that the compressor would turn by hand...

Well, I decided to take my A2 to Atlanta tonight and carry some 12' sheet rock and tools to my daughter's house - a ~225 mile round trip. I started up the A2 and let it idle until it built up air and the buzzer went off. I put it in gear and drove about 50' when I heard a very loud bang and a...

Congratulations! That was a relatively easy fix :beer:

Tom, that's a total bummer! Why not try to come down for only 1 or 2 days?

Your truck is really looking good!!!

I don't think rebuild kits are available for the cylinder. Are you sure yours needs rebuilding? If you have a problem with seals, many folks solve their problem by adding a small amount of air tool oil. Adding the oil solved all of my problems. Add the oil at the inlet port of the actuator -...

Make sure that whatever coolant you use it's the heavy duty ethylene glycol type. Also, if you don't use premix, make sure you use distilled water for the dillution to eliminate phosphate buildup in the coolant system. It will take a lot of distilled water jugs, but it is definitely worth it...

Dave, you do good work. That is one outstanding truck! I'm very impressed - when you envision a project, you go all out! OUtstanding pictures of an outstanding truck! You definitely need to bring Jokers Wild to the GA Rally. That gun ring and gun look fantastic mounted on your 5 ton. :beer:

Milk snakes are good snakes - they don't hurt anything. At my place all we see are copperheads and timber rattlers. I've had three dogs get bitten in the last 2 years. I've killed 6 timber rattlers and 23 copperheads in the last 5 years or so, all within a couple hundred feet of the house.

I'm working in Pune, India and not only ready to come home, I'm ready for the rally! Actually, I'm not ready - I have some things to do to my deuce before I'm ready, but being out of the xountry isn't helping.

How good are the 9:00 X 20 tires? I'm assuming that they are NDTs on deuce wheels?

I'm assuming that you are going to restore it? I would definitely plan on restoring it. Since it is right hand drive, it obviously went to a country with right hand drive. I would make a list of countries with right hand drive that were potential recipients of the truck.I believe there are...

I suspect that the blue was for infantry as you mentioned and that the yellow was for armor. When I was in, every vehicle in our brigade had colored diamonds on the sides, just in front of the doors or on the doors. They were all colored according to whether it was an armor, infantry, or...

That brings back memories. My family all went out to see the first flight of the C5 Galaxy in Marietta, Georgia back in 1968. I remember that something went wrong - I believe some tires blew out - can't really remember, and we had to go back the next day for the first flight. There were...
