Similar to what happened here in this thread: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/23454-u6tl-bomb.html I was out working in the yard today and heard a loud boom (Like an M-80 going off). Curious, I hustled to the side of the house to see blueish smoke coming from under the deuce...

February 7-8, 2009 M-29 Weasel recovery: Portland, Oregon to (near) Redding California. OK everybody, let me fill you all in on my recovery trip for the Weasel yesterday. First, I would like to thank my friend Vern for helping me on this little trip...I couldn't have done it without him. I...

Can we get a forum created under "Armored Vehicles" for the Weasels? T-24, T-15, M-29, M-29C could go there. Just a suggestion....

For your enjoyment: http://s214.photobucket.com/albums/cc162/dantheman29a/MVPA%202008/?albumview=grid I love the "ole Bob" wrecker... More pics tomorrow, and maybe some video. Fun fun fun!

For those attending, please be advised that the weather for the latter part of this week in Portland is calling for temperatures in the mid-to-upper 90s for Thursday and Friday. These will be some of the highest temperatures this year for the Portland area. Please be ready for the warm...

Hey all, I'm mounting the hand lever for the winch (connects to the transmission-mounted PTO) on my '88 M35A2C and running into some issues. I got all of the parts for my winch install from an older M35 (no idea what year), but so far everything has bolted up nicely (yes, I got all of the...

Hey all, At last I have the tires/wheels on the deuce. Here's some pics: http://s214.photobucket.com/albums/cc162/dantheman29a/Tires/?albumview=grid Just thought you'd all like to see what Mike's wheels look like in Tan. Note the non-flipped hubs with the nearly perfect tracking...

OK, I am replacing the winch cable and clevis end on my winch (standard Gar Wood M-44 series winch) with new stuff. Since it's just as easy to order 10 as it is to order 1, I would be happy to order a few extra units for other SS members who might be interested. Here's what I'm getting: 250'...

OK, I think most of us know that the stock winch cable length on the M-44 series trucks is 200'. Is it true (or untrue) that up to 250' can be put on the spool if wound correctly?

Yes..free! Standard front bumper off of an M35A2. No idea what year. Comes with a pile of rusty hardware (may not be complete, recommend new hardware rather than re-using) and the (4) mounting brackets (non-winch style). Does not come with clevis hooks or clevis mounts. Relatively...

Hey all, Where can I get 200' of milspec 6x19 fiber core wire rope for my Gar Wood winch? I've looked around online and not seen too many places that will sell 200' of cable for a decent price...if at all. Also, where can I get the inner crimp-on end for securing the start of the cable to the...

Guys, Can I get someone to shoot me a quick snapshot of the lower stone guard mount on a winch truck? This is the lower part with the slot that the stone guard fits in (not the upper mount that pokes out next to the radiator). I think I may be missing a part (or a spacer) on my winch install...

Saw this on Craigslist today...thought I would pass it along: http://portland.craigslist.org/clk/car/632548028.html I HAVE TWO GMC DUCE AND HALF SIX WHEEL DRIVE MILITARY TRUCKS. BOTH RUN ONE IS A eight YARD DUMPER LOCATED IN GOLD BEACH OREGON AND ONE IN PORTLAND,LOTS OF PARTS TOO.YOU HAUL...

Anyone out there have, or know where I can get the plastic cap for a NATO style slave connector (the vehicle-side connector, I guess that would be the "male" side). I just need the plastic cap, not the whole connector. If anyone has any leads on one, please let me know. I've already checked...

April Fools Joke Guys!!!! I'm taking this down because it's over for this year. See you all next year! ================================= For those of you who said it couldn't be done, anything is possible as long as you never give up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiU

OK, after a frustrating 45 minutes at NAPA today, I have no joy on getting anything in the form of shims or gaskets for my PTO install on the deuce. Basically they couldn't cross-reference the Spicer 3053 transmission to get the proper gaskets. Basically "what vehicle is it out of?"...and it...

Hey all, I am in need of the cover on the front of an LDS/LDT 465 motor that covers where the power steering/hydraulic pump would mount. On the G-742 series trucks with multi-fuel engines, this mount is blocked off with a simple cover (see pic). If someone has a spare, or can pull one off of...

I did some searching and didn't see any mention of this movie (which surprised me!) "Sorcerer" is a great movie about a couple of down-and-out drivers who need to deliver explosives through the jungle to an oil well fire. More importantly the movie stars a couple of what looks like M211s...

I didn't see it posted here (or a link to it)..but this just went up a few hours ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHhu8cP6sYY Nice video! I hope this person is a SS regular...

Anyone have any good suppliers for NOS or rebuild engine-mounted Hydraulic pumps for multi-fuel motors (mounts to the timing cover)? Also a good source for reservoirs (prefer military stocker off 800 series truck)? I'm having difficulty locating one for my Hydro-assist steering project. I'm...
