    2007 MEP-806B no-start

    Picked up a 2007 MEP-806B for our police department back in January. Unit has 13.6 hours on it according to the meter. John Deere won't fire up. Put fuel in it, showing nearly half a tank on the screen. Cleared the fault codes, put two new 850 CCA batteries in it, and still nothing. It will...

    60KW genset phase quandry

    Long time no see! My police department just got gifted a 60kW genset (we applied for a 15, got a 60....go figure). However we believe it may be a white elephant as the town utility guy says since it's three-phase it's worthless for backup power for our police station, or in fact any facility...

    Need info on Army spec. MARS Skybolt beacon

    Among other things, I'm a collector of vintage emergency lights, such as Federal Signal, Dietz, Mars, etc. I bought a Mars Skybolt 12v rotator marked "US ARMY". It's a 12 volt light with a blue dome/plastic base. It uses two PAR36 sealed beam bulbs. The trouble we are having, is...

    Looked at a 1028...

    Found a CUCV 1028 locally on Craigslist. Went and looked at it today. This is the first time I've been able to climb all over one so I was pretty excited. Truck was an 84, converted to 12v, disconnected blackout lights, decent firestone tires, and a recent IP. Truck fired up after the light went...

    Need infor from Indiana deuce owners

    Attention fellow Hoosiers- Part of my research in buying a deuce is on how to properly register and insure it in Indiana. For those of you that did not put antique plates on them, how did you go about it? Not planning on generating revenue with the truck, but would like to haul stone and dirt...

    Would this light control work on an M35?

    Found this while searching for Deuce stuff on Ebay- M35 M35A2 M151 M37 M988 M818 M923 LIGHT SWITCH NEWSTYLE : eBay Motors (item 330406434600 end time Feb-25-10 13:47:09 PST) Is this really just a plug and play modification on an M35? **Edit to add- So there is no confusion this auction is...

    What kind of electronics does the 6.2/CUCV rely on?

    Ok, this post may come off as a little kookie, but stick with me here. I'm needing to know what kind of electronic systems the CUCV has, such as the glow plug control card, etc. The reason I'm asking is that the main reason for me shopping for a CUCV or deuce is that I want a diesel, 4x4...

    CUCV turbos, fuels, info for a newb

    Greetings. I'm interested in getting a M35 deuce sometime in the future. After doing some research, I think it might be best to educate myself on some military hardware that might not be as complicated as the deuce. I've always been interested in CUCVs, but the lack of a turbo and the failure...

    Anyone use a Deuce for a hauling business?

    I'm always looking for a good side-gig, as law enforcement certainly isn't glamorous to pay for all the toys and what-not in life. I'm thinking a good way to justify the Deuce purchase as well as let the hobby pay for itself is to get a dump-deuce and roll with it. So anyway, anyone done the...

    Things for a "n00b" to look for in a deuce

    I've wanted one of these since high school. I understand that going thru GL or other .gov liquidation/ "210 lots" is a real hassle given all the screwed up paper work and general inefficiency of .gov. I live in west-central Indiana and have seen them come up for sale from time to time in our...
