I had my MEP-002A Engine Shut Down Solenoid go bad and shut down my generator. Something internally must have gone bad because it was rapidly going in and out and would not stay in to the "run" position. I ordered an aftermarket one and that one lasted about a total of 15 minutes run time but I...

Has anybody ever done a successful swap or modification of the under hood air filter assembly on a Deuce? Stock air filter is about 410 CFM I believe and I was wondering if anybody was able to put something else in that was up around 540CFM? from the numbers I crunched, it looks like 810 CFM...

I recently put 9.00R-20 steer tires on my truck and even at 80PSI, the tires still look like they could use more wind in them. I looked on the stamping on the wheels and nothing is listed on them for the max pressure. On the tire, I believe it is listed as 90 PSI I believe, I have to double...

I will be driving my Deuce to Binghamton, NY around July 2nd and will be traveling empty and not pulling a trailer. On the way back (July 9th), I will be pulling what I think might be an empty (if i dont think of something to bring back for myself) M1061A1 (8'x14' flat bed) trailer, so I will...

I have a M1061A1 trailer that needs to be brought out from Binghamton, NY to either Detroit or Findlay Ohio (for the Findlay Show). This is a representative picture of an M1061A1. The bed is 8'x14' and weighs about 5850 pounds. Has air brakes and can be pulled by a Deuce, 5 Ton or similar vehicle.

I have been chasing a blowby issue coming out of my slobber tube for a while. I did a compression test on the engine and all of the cylinders read about 340 PSI, which I think is ok...l since I rebuilt the engine with new pistons, sleeves, rings and NOS heads. So I am doubting if the blowby is...

I recently got a trailer brake control valve from an M931A2 and would like to put it on my M35A2 so I can manually apply trailer brakes. They also call these a Johnny Bar, Johnson Bar, etc. It had 3 lines coming out of the back and I was curious where they need to be routed to. One of the ports...

I have an original PE-75 Generator Manual but I do not know how to scan it into a PDF for all to see. If you have any questions about this generator, let me know and I can look up the information. I just wanted to mention it just in case anybody has one of these and needs help.

Well, I think I have been trying to fight off he realization that I need new piston rings in my M35A2. I have some blow by and it never liked starting when it was cold out. I had the cylinder heads off once before just to put new gaskets on and there was hardly any ridge on the cylinders. The...

74M35A2 was changing batteries in his M925A2 last night and there is a wire that goes to the 12 volt side of the batteries with the wire number 569. He bet me lunch that the 569 wire powered the low speed of the heater blower motor. Well sure enough he flipped the battery switch and the blower...

74M35A2 and I are going to The Mounds Off Road Park this weekend and I was wondering if anybody else has brought their MV there. I want to scope it out and see how it is or get other peoples feed back to see what they think before I pull the trigger and try to organize a rally. Right now I am...

Good Morning my Steel Soldier Friends, I have a friend with a M925A2 and the performance of his heater does not seem to be as good as the one in my M35A2. I know they are somewhat different animals with cam volume, engine spec and cab floor insulation... but they are the same heater core I...

I have seen the Arctic Kits with the grill cover and hood cover.... but did the military ever have a fuel tank blanket? I am thinking how I could keep my fuel tank warmer in the colder months to make the WMO flow good other than thinning the fuel out with diesel. I think the military just...

I have seen the M945A1 bridge truck in some pictures online, but did they ever make any M945A2 bridge trucks with CTIS and the 8.3 Cummins? It sounds like that truck would be a beast with the bigger dual tires, rear drag winch, CTIS and other goodies. Username 74M35A2 and I were talking about it...

It has been getting pretty cool out lately and it has been nice to start up my H45 and sit by it out in my driveway. I have a mix of about 50% UMO and 50% diesel for fuel. It feels like I am camping when I have the heater going, so I decided to do a little cooking. I made some Craft Mac and...

I did some research a little bit ago and there is a show in Livonia Michigan coming up. Is anybody going? This would be my first time there. Event Info Link: http://www.michmilitaryhistory.com/Show_2.htm

I am just curious, but does anybody know what the GPM is of the Fuel Supply Pump at rated engine speed? I am talking about the mechanical driven pump on the injection pump. Out of all the specs I see in the manuals, I have never came across this specification. So this pump would also pump...

I changed the oil in my Deuce last night with 74M35A2. I pulled the rear plug first, no issues. When I pulled the front drain plug I found the small hole in the drain plug filled with some metal shavings. There were also some in the oil bucket when I checked that after, but not too many. These...

Does anybody know the correct size o-ring for the throttle stop shaft on the injection pump? I was told it was a "-013" but that is not the correct one. On my other deuce, I bought the injection pump gasket kit and used the o-ring supplied and it worked like a charm. this "-013" is too thick in...

I bought this Genset the other day from a guy in my town. It did not run but is in great shape! It does not look abused at all. It was low on oil when I first checked it, but I added some. The fuel tank inside is in MINT shape and I thought the carb would be the same way. It had the original...
