Last weekend I went down to my deuce and put on a set of convoy lights. I got a set of the military issue spin lights and the rest of my work was all fab work. Poles were made of 2" x 60" tubing with an 8" disc welded to the top, with this setup being non-adjustable unlike the "stock" setup. I...

Been gone off the site for a couple of weeks. Was down at the family farm tearing out and rebuilding about 1-1/4 miles of barb-wire fence. Of course I used the deuce as my pack mule which it did without complaint. So here's the story followed by pictures: Showed up to get the deuce out of the...

Today out at the museum we had a M4A1E8 Sherman that needed the turret re-installed on it as it had been removed for restoration needs. Had to call in some SS assistance involving Scott's (tie6044) M816 wrecker. We only had 1 wrecker available and deemed it too dangerous to try the lift solo...

Took the deuce down to live on the family farm over the weekend and while I was down there we have an IH706 that is having issues due to lack of maintenance. Well since I'm 300 miles away from the farm and don't have the time to get down there to fix the tractor we decided to take it over to...

Thought I would share an article that went out about changes to military vehicle licensing changes. Basically all military non-tactical vehicles are now required to have license plates. Guess there are enough privately owned ex-military vehicles out there now that they want to make sure which...

Last crushing show from the FSMM that was held on July 16th, 2011. As I said in another thread the museum is being closed so this is the last time this equipment will be operating. I am driving by the way. Enjoy

Was out doing an event today for the Patriot Guard here in MN. Two of the Minnesota Vikings cheerleaders happened to be at the event as well so I got them to take a few pictures in front of our display. The blond cheerleader's dad served in Viet Nam so we chatted quite abit about his...

Just got done installing my turbo (boost) gauge and the civy wiper conversion with the Anco blades/arms. Next I am going to bypass the FDC, re-set the fuel (hence the turbo gauge need) and install a 24V to 12V power converter. Need to get a CX-13908 cable to run from my MX-7777 surge...

Heading south today on I35 in MN just south of Fairbault and saw someone with a Deuce in the Northbound lane. Wondering if its a SS member or if someone just picked up a new toy.

The 934th Airlift Wing had their Family Days picnic today and our museum was requested to provide a tank. So I took over the M41A2 Walker Bulldog and my M35A2 to put them on display for about 6 hours. At times I couldn't tell which was more popular...the Walker Bulldog or my Deuce. There were...

My hometown is celebrating it's Sequicentennial (150 years) Anniversary this year and the weekend of August 8-9 is designated as the weekend for honoring the veterans in my home county. I'll be taking my M35A2 (hauling vets) and the museum's M106A2 down for the parade. There are supposed to be...

Finished up installing my VIC-1 setup last night. I have 2 H-161 headsets to go with it. Wired the power up so that when the battery disconnect is used there is not power going to the MX-7777 box so I don't have to worry about dead batteries :-D I have the MX-7777 box mounted behind the...

Deuce Transfer Case Rear Seal Anyone know of the NSN cross reference number to NAPA for the rear transfer case seal on a deuce? This is where the main shaft comes out of the back of the transfer case right in front of the parking brake drum.

Guys, I just got the hardware for a VIC-1 setup that I want to put into my deuce. I'm trying to bench test it prior to installing so that I don't have to fight the system once its in the truck. All of the equipment that I'm using is in unknown condition so I'm trying to work through an...

I just have a simple request in the form of a sticky thread. Can we get a thread with all of the different MV spare parts vendors listed? I know there is OD Iron, Eastern Surplus, Alpha Equipment, etc. I'm sure there are more but can't remember them all.
