    Super-low oil pressure, M35A2 multifuel

    I noticed it yesterday, pulling a heavy load across the field (a downed tree, nearly the size and weight of my '05 Ram quad cab diesel). It was hot ambient out, probably low 90s, and I was running in first, 6x6, transfer case in low range for pulling power. Nothing overheated. Oil shows between...

    Good air...no brakes. M35A2.

    Hi all, we have an M35A2 we got from Govt. auction last year. It's been doing great...until last week when the wife was driving it around the property (doing fun stuff like pulling stumps out of the ground!), and all of a sudden the brake pedal went to the floor. Air pressure is fine, no...

    Bolt under throttle pedal?

    My Deuce has a bolt under the throttle pedal, sort of a manual throttle stop it looks like. It's over an inch long, sticking straight up out of the floorboard, and limits me to about 1" or less of pedal travel. Is this right? Or should there be more travel available (i.e. to the floorboard)...

    Winch operation?

    OK, I've got the PTO part figured out - transfer case in N, PTO in FWD, 5speed in first, let out clutch and it should engage the winch motor. But there are 2 levers on my winch that aren't labeled, a long one behind the passenger end of it (I think it may have "IN" and "OUT" engraved on it), and...

    New Deuce in MD - pics and numbers (and questions)

    Hi all, I finally got a day off and it stopped raining, so here's some pics of my new deuce. I also had a chance to put a wrench on it, and it appears that tightening the fittings on the injector pump took care of the leaks. I'll drive it a bit to make sure, but a couple of the lines were fairly...

    Whistler / non-whistler?

    What's the difference? I believe my Deuce has the non-whistler D engine...but I love that whistle (pulled the silencer ring and put a BHAF on our '05 Dodge Cummins). Is there a way to get a D engine to whistle? Also, does anyone know what boost levels these engines make in stock trim, and if...

    My ears will be ringing for a week...but she's home!

    Just got home in our new Deuce. Picked it up at Chambersburg and drove home to Thurmont. Took the better part of 2.5 hours...but no issues other than being slow as molasses, the front part of the top not staying attached to the windshield (and it starting to rain, naturally...), and the injector...

    Tips for a newbie?

    Hi all, I've been lurking on the site for a while as my father-in-law and I were hoping to pick up a deuce...and now it's happened. We just won a bid on one at the Chambersburg PA location. I plan on doing a lot of searching on the forums for information and tips - especially since I'm getting...
