Congratulations! I just picked up my first Deuce last week. Good luck!

Mine was the same way.

I just bought a Torque Multiplier Wrench: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007KLBCWC/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

While chatting with DAKOTAFEAR3088, told me that Coleman's is scrapping trucks left and right, If you need parts or parts trucks go there ASAP. Save them from the bulldozer and scrapping machine while you can before their history is wiped out. :sad:

The recovery was a success! My father in law and I arrived early Saturday morning. The deuce started up in 4 seconds with a cool 25 degree chill in the air. I proceeded to check it over for any leaks, fluid levels in crankcase and transfercase. The transmission yielded some frothy brown fluid...

I am going this Saturday to recover my Deuce i purchased from them.

How do you feel about our a small amount of air brake antifreeze in the air compressor intake just to get all moisture out of the lines. It's going to be anywhere from 22 and 37 degrees outside this weekend.

To bleed, i plan on buying a remote brake master cylinder reservoir kit from the classifieds on SS: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?94018-M35A2-and-M809-series-5-ton-Remote-Brake-Fluid-Reservoir-Kit and then this pressure bleeder to attach to the remote reservoir...

Indeed it should be stickied!

I found this extremely helpful. All filters can be bought from Everythingtruckparts.com for cheap!

Thanks! I just might change it there. I also plan on bringing a couple extra belts and lube gun for the chassis and suspension lubrication points. Are they standard Zerk fittings?

I was thinking about changing the oil prior to the 100 mi trip home. The dipstick showed it was full, however black as normal diesel oil but it was pretty thick-viscous. Should I change it?

I suppose this is where i post all the stuff I do to my truck. First of all, this is going to be my first MV, and it seems i was bitten by the Green Iron Bug. Other people really just don't understand it, except you guys... It is also similar to BRD (Black rifle disease) in which i am...

Edit. Never mind. Found my answer in the TMs

Was there much modification done to fit the walker muffler?

What does "RT" stand for?

I have some pictures here. Don't worry, there will plenty more! http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?116039-Trip-to-Coleman-s-Surplus-in-Millersburg-PA-Nov-23-2013

Not yet. I need to pick it up next weekend. It will be staying in Hagerstown for a week or so and then hopefully to My. Airy. I will call you the week I plan on bringing it to your place.

Count me in next year!

Thanks. Me either, that's why we're trying to secede and create "Western Maryland" :D Side note on this recovery: I plan on replacing fuel filters prior to the 100 mile trip since I will encounter some steep hills from PA and I want all the power i can get. Should I also perform an oil...
