I am looking at using a set of 939 axles for a special project, but need to know if the rear hubs can be flipped. If so, what width would that make the axles, wheel flange to wheel flange? This is not the typical singling out of a truck, which would not require the flipping. For this project the...
Maryland has a bill up that will eliminate historic tags on trucks over 10k pound GVW. http://mlis.state.md.us/2012rs/bills/sb/sb0846f.pdf . We need to make a big stand here, or we will have to pay out the butt for tags and have to conform to DOT regulations :-(
I have really been thinking that some day I may take the plunge and buy a tank at some point. So I have some questions. First off I can't afford any of the ones that cost as much or more then my house. I see there are a number of options in the 70k and below range. Not saying I can afford that...
So I have been wanting a M818 for a while now, as I just think they are super cool. I found one from a private seller, and plan to go pick it up this weekend. Pictures show a really good looking truck, and the owner swears it is in top notch condition. It has been serviced fully, has new tires...
Have searched the best I can and can't find what the height is to the top of the deck on a M871 trailer. I am looking at buying one of these trailers and a M818. I am wondering if I will be able to transport a Deuce with it.
Thanks
I found a M66 ring through a friend of mine, who also got one for himself. Now comes the mounting task. I have two Deuces, one hard top and one soft top. I will probably mount it on the soft top truck, but wondering if any of you have pictures of them mounted on hard top trucks. I am curious how...
I have a small oil leak on one of my multifuels, and finally took the time to track it down. It seems to be coming from a brass fitting(plug?) on the bottom side of what I am assuming is the oil pressure regulator(the rectangular assembly behind the oil filters). I am looking for a schematic...
I am wondering what it would cost and who to use to ship one or two trucks from Mississippi to Maryland. If you are a shipper, I can PM details. Thanks in advance.
I have some questions about the operation of the service brake glad hand connections. I was looking at a M813 today, and was thinking of using it to flat tow a M818 that has engine problems. When I went to check out the glad hands on both trucks to see what I would need to hook up the brakes to...

It's a fold out kitchen unit, built for the military by a company about 20 miles from me. Brand spanking new, fresh from the assembly plant. Unfortunately it's not mine. The truck was stopping to pick up some equipment I sold. I tried to talk the driver in to 'loosing' that load:twisted...
I just had to start a thread, cuz I am excited about my latest purchases. I have been wanting a M1009 for a while now. I bid on, and won one recently. Before I even filled out the EUC I came across two more a couple hours away. They were priced right, so I had to check them out. Now I have two...
I won a M35A2 from Ft Meade, and I only live about an hour and a half away. I can get a tow bar and use my Deuce, but I would rather have someone that could trailer it. Wondering if anyone here is set up to do a small haul like that for a reasonable fee. I would meet the hauler at the pick up...
I have wanted a Deuce for a long time, as I just always liked the way they looked and how well they were designed and built. This year I finally bought one. People asked me continuosly 'what are you going to do with it?' As a gunshop owner, it makes a great advertising tool. Recently I attended...
I am new to the world of military generators, but thinking of picking up a 60kw unit. I understand they are all 3 phase, and that is no problem for my intended use. The ones I have seen are 400hz. Are the hz adjustable? Can they be set to a standard 60hz? Do you need to adjust them or will 400hz...
I have seen for sale a set of wheels that were listed for a 2 1/2 ton 6 lug for single tire use, and made by A&H. Wondering if this is what I want for singling out my Deuce. Is there any other 2 1/2 ton military truck that these were made for that won't interchange with a Deuce?
I am relatively new to MVs, as I have only had my Deuce for a little over a month, but now I am hooked. I already want another Deuce to bob, M109A3 to convert to camper, and now I am liking the look of the wreckers. I see they are rather pricey compared to Deuces. I am not in the market just...
I drove my truck to a friends place, and was turning it around. I went from reverse to 1st and then to neural. When I let the clutch out it was still in first. Now the shifter goes to any gear but first, and if in another gear it is locked up, two gears at once it seems. If in neutral position...
After quite a few phone calls and checking around, and a lot of no go's, I finally found suitable insurance for my Deuce. I went with State Farm for 60 bucks a month. I know that is high compared to a lot of others, but the restrictions of other companies weren't acceptable for my intended use...
I haven't bought from GL before, and now I have EUC questions. Where it asks what you will do with it(i.e. keep it for what reason, sell it as is, alter and then sell), what would you put there if you aren't sure what you will do with it. I am thinking I will buy a couple here and there...
