Wow, lots of great looking MVs. Thanks for the pics!

I wonder what the price on the tanks is? Great pics!

Try pulling the injectors and putting a tablespoon of Marvel Mystery Oil down in the cylnders. Let it sit for a week, then try turning the motor over by hand. If it turns, give it a shot of ether and fire it up. If it doesn't turn at all, then try another engine. I just snagged a pile of...

What I got is for the ether start kit on my deuce. Yeah, if I wanted starting fluid, it would have been a lot cheaper just to get that, but I had to complete the kit, I guess. Damn hobby... :-D

Finally found a local dealer that had a can of ether starting fluid and knew what it was. It was a NAPA store that also deals with truckers a lot. In stock, for $42 a can. :shock: And it was ON SALE, regularly $65 a can. I bought it, but one can of this stuff will probably last the...

Uh oh, now you have to out-do this guy:

Was talking with Dirt71 the other day, he mentioned that 14.00x24 tires for the 10-tons are not common anymore. I agreed, but I said there has to be a modern swappable equivalent for that size, since the only things I can find in 14.00x24 size are motor grader tires. Are there any...

I'm wondering why you have the bed chained/strapped to the M105 trailer. Are you worried about the trailer blowing away in a tornado, Auntie Em?

Now paint it 24087 semi-gloss with a yellow nose, and you're all set!

If your buddy with the machine shop doesn't want to make a bunch up, let me know. If you give me all the measurements of that part, I can have 50-100 or so made up within a couple weeks.

I'm in for a set, if you can make a couple more up. :)

You guys are right - it's pretty self explanatory once you play with it yourself. After looking at the pics, and reading over the instructions, it just fell together. Easier than I thought it would be. One thing I did notice, though, is that with the poles installed, the soft top has a hard...

That would be the hard way to test if your radiator leaks.

Another dumb question - why is a special head bolt wrench required? Can't someone use standard sockets and socket wrenches?

I've previously worked with CustomInk.com, they have fast service, and they also have some Tshirts that are made in the USA. http://www.customink.com

Okay, I know I already asked a stupid question this weekend, but I have a good one: why does the deuce accessory switch look like the weird red-headed stepchild it is? All the other switches and knobs on military equipment are pretty simple and standard, only this switch looks like an arm...

That helps a bit, thanks CI !

Those pics are EXTREMELY small and I can't make anything out. Any way you can increase the size of the pics to make them legible?

Might be easier to take old shoes and have them re-lined than to try and source NOS shoes for this model. Wow, new hardware for the fittings too, you're pulling out all the stops on this restoration!

It's harder than that to kill a deuce. Get a new hood, a few more small parts, some paint, and bring her back to life! And start cutting down some trees, dammit!
