    M35A2 Seat Belt Kit Differences: Angle Brackets

    I have questions for the hive mind. I have two boxes both labeled NSN 2540-01-245-2444 on the outside (identical Military Compliance Labels). The documentation/manifest/instructions on the inside are different. One says it is kit number 12301438. The other specifies it is kit number 12301439...

    Leaking Oil From Exhaust Flange on Non-Turbo Deuce

    My starter keeps cutting out because it gets completely covered/soaked in oil from a leak in the exhaust flange. It is a White LT 465 with about 1000 hours on it. No turbo. It runs great. Oil pressure is consistently 30-40 PSI at 160 degrees. Pressure drops to 20 PSI when the temps get up to...

    M105A2 from Fayetteville, NC to OKC

    Anyone making the trip from central North Carolina to parts west in the near future? I have an auction M105A2 that needs to eventually make it to OKC. If you are going through KS, MO, or TX, but not OK, let me know. I would be happy to meet you somewhere.

    M923 Transmission Fluid Reads High... Then Low.... Then High... Then Low...

    I thought I knew how to read the dipstick on my M923 transmission. Engine running. Transmission fluid temperate at ~170-180 degrees. Transmission in neutral. Push dipstick fully down into receptacle and pull out to observe level on the dipstick. I can do that a dozen times and get a...

    Cleaning Surplus Wheels/Tires for an M923

    I managed to score 16 unused 395/85R20 tires on FMTV wheels. They were stored horizontally on pallets with no top cover, so the flanges are all rusty. Some of the studs look pretty bad. I was able to get NIB replacement flanges for super cheap, but I am having trouble finding the 5/8" studs...

    Yellow Cross Painted On Hood Nose. What does it mean?

    On certain surplus auction sites you will see some M939 series vehicles with yellow crosses or "plus signs" spray painted on the nose of the hood. Often they will have "OK" painted in the same yellow color on the side of the hood as well. Anyone know what that means? Was it a military thing...

    Push Pull Hand Control Lock Won't Engage: Fixes?

    I have been searching for a couple hours now and can't come up with a TM or any discussion about repairing/fixing locking push pull hand controls that will not lock. For example, when I pull out on the engine stop handle on my Deuce it will not stay out no matter which way the handle is...

    Sealing Compound MIL-S-45180

    I am rebuilding my injector pump and I keep seeing references to sealing compound MIL-S-45180. I have tried searching the site and nothing pops of regarding it. If I google it there are lots of products that conform to MIL-S-45180D, but nothing specifically for its "non-D" sealing compound...

    Starter Problems: Help With Diagrams

    I went to start the Deuce this evening but had no luck. It started fine yesterday. (The only difference between today and yesterday was a goodly amount of rain.) I pushed the start button with the fuel off to make sure it wasn't hydrolocked. The engine turned over for a couple seconds, but...

    M35A2 Transmission Inspection Plate Missing: Replacement?

    I was able to snag an M35A2 at auction. One of the known issues with this Deuce is a missing clutch inspection cover plate. It is just gone. My "searchfoo" must be weak because I can only come up with the gaskets for the cover, not the cover itself. I can also find the PTO cover plate. It...

    New from Western Oklahoma

    Greetings from western Oklahoma. I am looking at purchasing an M35A2 to use as a parade truck for our Cub Scout Pack and Boy Scout Troop. Last week I test drove a 1970 AM General with a White engine (non-turbo) and couldn't stop smiling. Awesome! Look forward to more time behind the wheel...
