The annual Thomasville, NC Memorial Day Parade is being held this year on May 27th. It is one of the biggest Memorial Day celebrations in the country and has been extremely well supported by both the community and the military. Unfortunately this year the event has lost its military support due...

I didn't have any problems with the knurded knobs; & I torqued them down pretty good. Maybe they had a bad batch at one time.

Guys, Toomanyhobbies will be riding up with me to the meeting. Planning on taking the (heaterless) deuce, unless it is just too darn cold. Hope to see some of the rest of you guys there. -Russ

Mike, Sorry, I don't. I'll try to take some next weekend when I'm off work & have some daylight.

There are quite a number of threads regarding wiper up-grades for the deuce. Many refer to Napa wipers that are no longer in stock, or folks having to go through all kinds of trials & tribulations trying to find something that works. I decided to buy the wiper up-grade kits from Saturn...

toomanyhobbies Just sent you a PM about the up coming meeting. -Russ

I had to replace all the axle seals on my M35 shortly after I got it because the air vents on both axle housings were plugged. When you add gear oil to the rear axle housings, don't over fill! After replacing the axle seals, I filled to the bottom of the filler hole. That's too much & one axle...

ecupirate, Merry Christmas and welcome to the site! Thank you, wb 1895, and the rest of the folks in your units for your service. There are a couple of active MV clubs in NC; & hopefull you'll be able to attend some events when you get back. Take Care! -Russ

Brian, I'll be there. I don't think I could get a duece wheel & tire into the back of a duece by myself even when I was young! You don't need to bring a selection, just the one. My first choice would be one with no cracking & not new tread, followed by perfect shape. Shannon, Will you be...

GMA Soft Top I just installed a top I bought from GMA and I have to second what maccus said. It fit perfectly and looks great. It is insulated and has the zippered rear window. GMA's service was great too. Ordering was a snap & I had it just a few days after placing the order.

Brandon, Sorry you're not going to make it; but understand about trying to get ready for an event and not having enough time. (I'm going through that with the SOV event.) That would be great if Shannon can bring his deuce. -Russ

Brian, You're right!:oops: Bruce has the jeep. Sorry about that!:roll: (But you need to get one.:wink:) -Russ

Brian, SOV (Sons of Valor) is a WWII tactical event which will be held this weekend at Allison Woods. There will be German and US re-enactiong units. Unlike the event which was held there last month, it is not open to the public. I attended SOV IV which was held in Camden, SC this past...

Hey Brandon, SOV V at Allison Woods is that weekend, so I'll have to miss the meeting. Will try to make the Nov. meeting. -Russ

Hey Brandon, Is there going to be a meeting this Sat., 9/12; and will it be at 9:00 AM at exit #33 off HWY 321 at the small truck stop on the north bound side of the highway? If so, I'm going to try & make it. Thanks, Russ

Neil, I've sent an e-mail to Jim. I'll PM you if I have any questions after hearing from Jim. If we don't have the quantity, we'll just have to make it up with quality! -Russ

Hey Neil, I'm going to plan on being there & will bring my '42 jeep. (But you'll have to promise to not run me over with your bad ol' deuce.) I'll be coming up from Charlotte on 85, & have to get there early enough before the parade to off-load the the MB from the trailer. I'll PM you...

Brian, Brandon, Thanks for the directions. Now I have a choice on how to get to the airshow! I'll be loading the jeep onto the trailer tomorrow night and plan on meeting you there Sat. morning. Sorry I missed the other thread on this event. -Russ

Brian, I hope I can come. It would probably be easiest for me to meet you at the airport. I might trailer the jeep rather than drive the deuce. Do you see any problem with that? I'm not familiar with the area, however. Is this the right airport? Foothills Regional Aviation 3566...
