I was thinking I needed to go from Pos and Neg like the main cables run. For some reason I was thinking by only running to the Pos of 1 battery with the orange wire, I would only have 12v.
Now I see how I messed it all up looking at the pic. The main cables are making the 24v so I just...
I'll try to explain myself a little better. I am using pics found online (except for my melted battery pic :)) Here is another pic to try and show how I hooked things up.
There are 3 main wires going to the battery box from the truck. #1 is marked with a tag saying Pos. The #2 wire is a...
I think I can get some fuel filters locally through Napa. They are priced much lower then what I found online. I am a little lost as I am seeing posts referring to gaskets with wix or napa part numbers (using the sticky post with part reference numbers). The filters are supposed to come with...
Well I did a mess-up yesterday. Trying to get my 1971 Kaiser M35A2 to try and start.
My M35A2 has not run in a few years. It always started fine until it just stopped firing. We suspected bad fuel. I was hand pumping the tank to remove the fuel and then discovered the tank has a drain...
Thank you everyone. :) I’m happy finally getting a troop carrier deuce. I joked with my sister about “The green madness”. I have a blue one and a tan one so I officially don’t have the green madness yet. ;)
My M27A2 is titled as a 10 ton because the worker that was helping me...
My new deuce.
So I finally got a M35A2 after years of wanting one. (I settled on a M275A2 years ago because I couldn’t find one) So now I have 2 deuces, a genset trailer, a 10kw generator, and a Cushman Airborne clone. Yay me.:clinto:
It was on a Craigslist ad and about 3 counties...
I should look for another one. I had 2 trailers and the one I sold and a crank handle and 2 metal wheels on the jack. That would be so much easier then this large wheel.
I actually was thinking of using those adapters but they were not tall enough. The receiver on the truck was very low to...
So I tried to be in a local parade but failed. I wanted to use my cannons on the genset trailer but had to dig out the cannons from my large storage unit. It has taken a few weeks to get things together. I had to cut off my trailer hitch and weld it up much higher to fit the trailer height. We...
I’m thinking about making my M103A3 genset trailer into a dump bed using the ram from a fold under lift gate. I have been looking online on how to do it and most dumps use a scissor hoist. To me it looks like there would be extreme force required to start the bed moving up based on the scissor...
Thank you for the answer. :mrgreen:
Now if I am looking at it correctly, the front rims of a deuce should be the same as what is on the trailers. Or is the bolt pattern different on the trailer hubs?
If their the same, I could take my front wheels off and use those to get one home. :jumpin:
Hello all, I haven't posted in a long time but I need some help. I just won 2 trailers and I am not sure what their designation is.
I am lost as to what these trailers "M" numbers are. Are they M103a2, or M116a2 ???
These have a big wheel for the landing leg and are 1/4 ton trailers...
They changed the description a little and have it listed as a M543A2 like rat4spd said. They still kept the info of: "1968 Kaiser Jeep 5 ton Wrecker" and are saying "multifuel turbo diesel with air cleaner housing on the right render. The engine is a 465 turbo"

Wouldn't you know it. The truck is at auction now that I don't have the money to bid. :evil:
If anyone plans on bidding on it and wants some pics or anything looked at, I am just a few blocks away from it so I can help you out. It ends on the 25th so there is not much time left.
I can feel your pain in regards to having to get a higher license for the truck. When I bought my M275A1 from a local guy, it took almost an hour at the window because the lady was so lost. It had a normal title but it was in the early 1980's. She didn't know what "REO" was on the title and...
:cry::oops::x:confused::evil:
I got a reply and they said it is not up for bid and they apologize for any confusion.:mad:
Why would you put something directly in the group of cars/trucks your auctioning and not have it in the sale??? They had a bunch of people looking it over and climbing all...
