I have a chance to get an unopened 55 gallon drum of food grade 90wt gear oil, cheap. I have no idea how old it is (looks like it's been sitting for quite some time, in a warehouse and have no information in it's age) How would this be mixed/cut with diesel for fuel? Does it degrade with age or...

My M105 trailer has the landing gear with the large diameter wheel. I see others have the same trailer, but have instead of the large fixed wheel, there is a two wheel telescoping jack in it's place attached to the drop down gear. How much does this type landing gear setup extend/raise?

The tach quit working in my truck last fall right, before I put it away for the winter season. I assumed it was the tach drive cable. I'm just taking it out now, and getting it ready for the up coming Memorial day parade and wanted to fix it before then. I pulled the (assumed) broken cable to...

I took my Deuce out from the barn, for a drive, for the first time from sitting from a five month slumber. (40 deg. out, warmest so far this year) It started right up, as soon as I hit the starter button. Drove it to my shop (10 miles) with out a problem. Parked it inside (72 deg.) while I...

We have a couple new guys at work (few months now) One has a CJ-7, the other an old Land Cruiser. Both lifted and on 35" tires. I do like the Jeep though. They do a lot of talking, about how big & bad the vehicles are. So, I drove my Deuce into work on Friday for a change..... and think I...

When I first take my Deuce out from starting up cold, it’s hard to get the transmission into the gears for the first few miles while shifting. Once after driving it for a few minutes/miles it shifts into gear (any gear) just fine, with no problems. I was thinking......during the five minute warm...

I had to replace the crushed oil pan on my Multi with another one. (ya got to just love, Goverment Liquidations fork trucks :() Before I started, I read a few threads on oil pans and clearance issues, and the remedies to get around the oil pump pick-up/differential interference problems, when...

Now that springs here, I have to do an oil change in the Deuce. While the oil is drained, I’m going to do an oil pan swap due to the dreaded GL fork truck. I searched the typical sites (Memphis, White Owl, Eastern) and even ebay. I couldn’t fine anyone of them, that carry an oil pan gasket...

SS member "BlueDeuce" is having trouble with truck, and currently this site/internet, so he emailed me this question that I'm posting. Hopefully he can chime in, in a little bit. Here is the deal. I have a popping sound coming from the front end of the truck when I turn the wheel while I'm...

I had a Deuce tailgate that was pretty banged up. So much so, that shuting it was impossable. It was destined for the scrap pile. I had nothing to lose, so I tried to give it one more shot at life. I cut out the bad section with a cut-off wheel, heated up the piece, and reformed it. Clamped...

Today, I pulled off the tag from my box that I put on the back of my bobber. It had been painted over, so I could never read it. After some time spent removing the paint, it turns out that it's an " XM-105-E3 " made in July of 1953. I'm guessing that it's nothing special, I just never knew, and...

The winch top plate on my Bobbed Deuce is pretty trashed. The previous owner used bolts for a shear pin, and by the looks of the top plate had run the chain/grabhook in, on more than a few occasions:roll: Any ways, I'm going to make a new top plate for my truck, and wanted to know if there was...

About a year ago (maybe even longer) I had a friend of mine print out the Deuce wiring schemetic at his work, on their plotter printer. I needed a 17x34" picture frame to hold the drawing. It's an odd size for a picture frame, so I never found one that would quite work for me. I have to admit, I...

I looked over and through the internets, and I couldn't find the picture that I was after. Does anyone here have a picture of an M105 cargo cover, in the flat position laying in the ground? Because you can no longer (I can't any ways) find or buy a plain Vietnam era canvas M105 Olive Drab...

This weekend there is a fundraiser/car show that I was asked to go to, and put the Deuce in. The weather is forcasted to be nice but down right chilly (especially after sunset) My Deuce didn't come equipped with a heater, but I'm finally getting around to installing one. I have to have it in...

I finally went and recovered a 1971 Deuce W/W that I had bought maybe two months back. I bought it with a bad motor. The number one connecting rod let go, and destroyed the block. It didn’t run (go figure) so we basically had to load 13,000# of rolling dead weight. When I had originally looked...

I was at a guy's (in his 70's)house to pick up a hydraulic scissor hoist, to turn my bobbed Deuce into a dumper. Any ways, when we went into his barn to get the hoist, I spotted some Olive Drab, in the back corner of his barn. It was an old Dodge M37. I inquired about it, and this is what I was...

I sold my 12' Deuce cargo bed today, to a guy that wants to turn the box into a dump trailer for his lawn care service. The Deuce was currently on my deck over equipment trailer. So that puts the cargo box quite high in the air off the ground. What I ended up doing was backing the equipment...

I was tired of my old uncomfortable box seat, and the stock fold down seat next to it, was less than desirable for my wife/passengers. So I picked up two ugly springer seats and a pair of MasterCraft seats to mount on the springer seat bases. The drivers side seat base bolted into the stock...

This winter I picked up a good condition cargo cover for my trailer. I haven't gotten around to do anything with it till now. Turns out it has an extention sewed onto the bottom of it. I only bought the cover, I didn't get anything else with it. I attached a picture, of the actual cover that I'm...
