Hello All, Last week I pulled the Deuce out of her winter resting spot hoping to get some dirt for the yard. (I start and let her idle every few weeks throughout the winter but no driving) I checked the oil, coolant, tire pressures ect. Everything looked good so we headed out. A couple miles...

Good Morning from the East Coast, Ive had my girl for about 2 years now and she has always been a member of the "leak of the week" club. Initially it was little bits of oil dripping out of the turbo on to the ground, nothing to raise an alarm for. However, I have been noticing another leak...

This passed Sunday was my second time at the American Legions flag retiring ceremony one town over from me here in CT. I "convoyed" there with a friend and his M37. My girl ran like a champ!! When we arrived there was another Willys jeep and the 1939 halftrack (fully operational). It was driven...

hey guys, last summer my girl, EV, had a headlight go out and a coworker of mine was nice enough to give me a replacement as he also has the green fever. However, when i installed the light and turn it on i could see smoke form in the lens but the light worked for a while. Then a week or so...

I know that this question has probably been asked more times than I can count but I like to be 100% positive before making purchases. I want to super single out my deuce with michelin xzl's on hemtt rims, will this combo work on a m35a2 without much trouble? i know i will need to flip the hubs...

Yesterday I got my 1949 Farmall Turbo H running again after getting repainted. It just so happened that I was bombing around with EV yesterday as well so how could I miss out on a photo op......

I just have to say that the people in this GREEN FEVER military truck hobby are some of the best people around; here on this site as well as in person. Case in point, this past weekend: On saturday I went to my first military truck show (me deuce "EV" didnt go unfortunately) and i wasn't...

Hello Everybody, Some of you may know that this past weekend the Northeast had an unusual heat wave run thru with temps. pushing 100 degrees! The hottest day was last Friday, which happened to be the day of a Luke Bryan country concert that I had been looking forward to driving the deuce too...

I took EV to work on Friday expecting the storm to hit hard right from the beginning. It started off slow but by 2 pm the roads and highways had a few inches of snow on them and the plows were having trouble keeping up with it. EV had no trouble though, we did 50mph the whole 30 min ride home in...

Hey everybody, I was just offered a headlight from a M715 and was thinking it may be a good spare headlight for my deuce. But, would a 715 headlight fit/work in a deuce? I'm not sure if 715's are 24V or not. thanks

This past saturday I waited in line with all the other people who had to waste their time at the DMV but my deuce got her temp plates so she can go for VIN verification and registration on Friday. Needless to say I couldn't get home fast enough and put the plate on and between 2 pm Saturday and...

So I have been doing small changes to my deuce to make her a little more personalized. The exhaust stack with the turn out at the top... no more! shes cut flat with rain cap on the top! The other thing i tried to change was the head light switch. The truck is an 86 and had the new push button...

Hey guys i did my rear axle seals on the center axle today. I took out the old seals and they were full of lube from the pumpkin leaking down the axle and into the hubs. So i cleaned everything up and replaced the seals with new ones, repacked the bearings and reinstalled the hub. Now my...

Hey guys I was wondering about braking systems on the deuce. I have been searching the site to find what I'm looking for but no luck so far. My question is are there different braking systems on the M35? Or did they stick to one style for the life of the trucks? I ask because I was told that...

Well gentleman, and ladies, last Saturday all my waiting, reading, learning and saving finally paid off! I picked up my first M35A2 and she is everything I had hoped for!:beer: Ever since I was a kid I can remember seeing these things at air shows or in movies and I always wanted to own one. Now...

Hey guys, I have been doing some searching but haven't really found anything to answer this question. Can a deuce run on old hydraulic fluid? im not sure if the fluid has the BTU rating that home heating fuel or engine oil has but I would assume it'd work just fine in the motor. Anybody ever...

Good Morning All, Let me start off by asking who else had a great weekend with a MV??? This past Saturday a member of SS (btcoutermash) was kind enough to invite me to his home and teach about some of the ins and outs of the M35A2's he had. He taught me about the engine, the different models...

I am new to the MV "addiction" and I have been reading everything I can for the past 2 weeks about m35's. This site is worth its weight in gold in that respect! I am amazed at the capabilities of the m35's and I'd like to buy a bobbed A2 soon. My question however involves deep water travel. I've...
