How do you know if your Deuce, M35 has locking differentials? When moving tires to match circumference, I noticed I could spin each front with all the others on the ground and not the rear. The transfer case and transmission in neutral for both.
Can someone help with the location of the wooden blocks, u-bolt positions and the positions of the front springs? I spent about 30 min searching and it was getting late. I'd like to buckle it down tomorrow.Thanks in advance. The search did work well earlier on fine tuning the brake adjustments...
Anyone looking for M51 specific parts? I bought mine from wreckerman a few years ago and was planning on having it and the Deuce up and running by now. I traded
wreckerman for some parts about a year ago for the main shelter part and was planning on keeping it for the generator for hurricane...
My son couldn't start the Deuce the other day. I took off the inspection cover
(where the cable hooks up to the IP) and the thingy inside didn't return easily as it should. It was very stiff to push it back toward the front of the truck and I
pushed it forward and didn't try to start it. I have...
Anybody watched/bid on the LARC V on GSA that sold today? I saw two at that lot when I picked up my truck. Not a very practical vehicle till there is a flood, but way cool. It sold for $21,550. When I saw it 3-1/2 yrs ago I was planning on being rich enough to afford it when it came up for sale.
I thought I already did one for Tim hosting the first LA Stee soldiers rally. If I didn't, here it is. THANKS TIM! I think it was great for him to offer up his place to have and actually do what it takes to make it happen. These events don't happen unless someone has the vision and puts forth...
I want to send this out to all that use any type of Offroad Vehicle, including our MV's. The few times a year that I get to go riding and camping with my son, we ride trails in the Kistachie national forest. There is always those out there that want to restrict other peoples freedom to live life...
Trying to clean all the extra gunk off the deuce to paint it, and found something else to fix. The lower dog bone on the front drivers side is coming apart. Anybody have an idea of the best place to get another one? Anybody had them repaired?
After 2-1/2 years in the backyard/garage I finally got all of the brake componets replaced that needed it. Still in backyard I had a high temp on the gauge had the radiator rodded out after putting it back in and finding a lot of crud in it. It still showed hot after running about 10-20 min and...
I went to put on the hood today and found out the air cleaner hold down on the right rear interfered with the hood. The cab is a newer one and the old one is from a gasser. I can see where the rear support was cut to fit but what does the proper fix look like?

I'm working on the Deuce brakes and came accross a part I haven't been able to find yet. I don't know what the proper name is, but its the piece that the wheel cylinder pushes to expand the brake shoes. Anybody know of a source?
I'm trying to change all of the seals on the front axle of my Deuce. I have it apart, but still looking for the right TM, before I go back together with it. Whats the correct TM for this? I've looked through the -34 manual where I thouht I would find it and couldn't.
Any help would be...
I know its here somewhere, but I haven't found it in an hour and gave up. Got a new horn button kit from Rapco with no instructions and I have no memory of how it went
together/came apart two years ago. Anybody know how these pieces go together...
My pressure switch for the buzzer is leaking and I need to replace it. Anybody know where the best place to get a replacement is? I could always plug it or re-engineer it,
but I would rather put it back right.

I'm in the proccess of putting a rebuilt airpack and a new M/C on my truck.
The rebuilt airpack had some dot 3 in it from the rebuild. What do I need to do to make sure I don't have problems before I install it?
Thanks...
Tommorrow afternoon I want to mount my front signal lights and noticed the wire protectors for each side were different. One has a large hole in it and I can't remeber which side I took it off of. Thanks in advance, I know someone can tell me.

I was taking apart my passenger seat to to get the frame ready for painting and came across an oily looking envelope that read " Do Not Destroy Important Documents Inside"
I couldn't wait to open it up and see what was in it. I found some type of shipping manifest from March of 1961. I'm going...
Got the bed off of the Deuce and have been using the needle scaler to try and clean uo the rear part of the chassis. I came accross this bracket on the right rear and have no idea what it is for.
Thanks,
