One of my air tanks had a pinhole leak due to the previous owners not draining the moisture out of the air system. I ordered 2 tanks and they sent me the tanks off of a 5-ton truck. The 5-ton tanks seem to have much larger fittings, so I'd need to get some brass bushings to reduce them to...

I need to remove the spare tire on my M35A2 in order to replace my air tanks. Does anyone know if the two bolts that hold the tire to the wheel to the winch bracket are reverse threaded? Just want to make sure which direction to turn before I go to town on them in a sorry attempt to break them...

Nothing wrong with my transmission in my Deuce, I was just curious if a NV4500 could be bolted to a multifuel and work with the rest of the driveline in a Deuce with the correct bellhousing. I could never see replacing the multifuel in my Deuce with another engine (can't get enough of that...

Its been getting cooler here at night in NC, down in the mid 30s or so. I decided to drive my Deuce to work today :mrgreen:. This morning it was about 55* out and when I went to start my Deuce I cranked it for about 5 seconds or so with no luck. Even tried giving it a little then a lot on the...

My Deuce has a small pinhole leak in one of the air tanks and I'd like to replace them. First of all, does anyone know off hand what the stock air tank capacity is? Has anyone tried mounting a larger air tank, like this one, Firestone Air Tank, 20 Gallon - (6) 1/2 NPT Ports, (1) 1/4 NPT Port...

So my Deuce is leaking some oil. It started when I first changed the oil a few months back. Torqued everything down, fired it up, oil came pouring out around the ring between the bolt head and the top of the oil canister. Torqued it down a little bit more and it looked like the problem was...

I wanted to try out taking a HD 1080p video with this Sony Webbie camera, so what better to video tape than a Deuce? :) Make sure you click the box to change it from standard definition to 720p or 1080p.

Trying to get the coolant/distilled water mix put into my Deuce today. I found what appears to be the cooling system drain on the rear of the engine, above the starter. The petcock didn't drain anything, so I took the whole petcock assembly off but nothing is coming out of the drain... I tried...

Mods I hope it is OK to make a thread where other people can post pictures of their trucks as well... if not I'm sorry. Here is my 1973 M35A2 w/o winch, "Whistler" turbo, 7XX hours and 13,XXX miles. Sorry about the mess on the ground, need to clean up all the paper towels I had jammed in the...

It was a good day today, got some work done on my Deuce. I started out by putting the water manifolds back on with plenty of antisieze and new grade 8 bolts. Lets hope we don't have to go through that again. After that I started working on flushing my cooling system... drained everything out...

Found the one on the radiator, but still looking for the one on the engine block. I found a post on here that said there were 2 on each side near the oil pan, but I didn't see any. I'm looking in the TM 9-2320-209-20-3-1 technical manual, page 6-50, and trying to find item number 2 in the...

So apparently just because it was a grade 8 bolt, it did NOT mean we were clear for takeoff with the breaker bar. Any ideas on how I should get it out? I was going to try wiggling the passage assembly up and then get at the rest of the broken bolt with some vice grips, but it doesn't want to...

My voltmeter has been reading out of the green zone on my Deuce and I've done some reading here and it looks like I need to find the appropriate TM and go about troubleshooting, adjusting, and/or replacing my alternator. Can anyone help me find the right TM? I have looked through the resources...

I went searching under my "new" Deuce today for the air leak that I have been hearing. It appears to be from a small pinhole in one of my air tanks under the mounting straps. Here is a picture - you can see the damp spot by the strap where the moisture has been leaking out. I turned the drain...

Made it home with my "new" Deuce today. It drove awesome. I'm glad I took some ear plugs, that turbo will SCREAM. Had several waves, several "what the heck is a 20 year old doing driving a Deuce???" looks, but all in all it was a smooth trip. Took a little getting used to turning the signal...

Gonna go put a deposit on a Deuce I recently looked at today, and then go pick it up on Tuesday. I can't wait :jumpin:. Its about 35 miles away (takes about an hour mostly because of traffic) I have a few questions - here goes: 1. The owner had some gasoline in the tank - not sure if it was...

I went and looked at another Deuce yesterday, it was in really good shape except for a leaky upper radiator hose and a couple other leaky areas. My main concern was a leaky injector pump - I should have taken some pictures because I can't remember exactly where it was leaking from, but the top...

I still haven't found a Deuce yet, so this may be a stupid idea because I haven't had the time to look over a M35's bed closely. I like the M109's, but they seem a lot harder to find one in good shape with a turbo and t-case for a reasonable price around here. I was wondering if anyone had...

I went to look at this neat old Deuce today. It is a 1965 model. The owner is asking $2600. The owner used it as an off-road RV - he has converted the shop box on the back into an area that sleeps 4 with 2 bunks, and has a stove and a sink with pressurized water with a tank and pump stored...

Hi everyone, finally signed up here and decided to make a post. I was wondering how well a Deuce would work for me in the business I plan to start up - working with my skid steer, tractor, etc. Where to start... My name is Dennis, I currently live on the outskirts of Chapel Hill, NC, and go to...
