    7/8 wrench with 1/2 drive for M35 A2 head bolts

    A note to everyone that I just learned the hard way: In order to use this style of torque adapter, you have to remove the entire oil cooler in order to access the rear nut on the front head. This is the rear nut on the rear head. No problem. Rear nut, front head.

    R.I.P. - Joe Young

    Internet archive has some of Joe's old website you can surf https://web.archive.org/web/20001019080142/http://www.joeyoung.com/main.html Also, sad that the deuce is no longer the king (hottest entity) of surplus. All you whipper snappers and your HMMWVs andFMTVs.

    R.I.P. - Joe Young

    My first Deuce would have come from him had I been in the position (storage, $$$) to buy one. I surfed his site almost daily when the internet was new because there was so little deuce stuff out there.

    Trailer towing an M35A2 on flatbed

    We did this with a Ram 4500. Not a 3500. Felt very safe, went 50 miles in a rural area with low traffic density. It's a buddy's set up and I never looked at the weight rating of the trailer. I was just along for the ride.

    Dual voltage alternator compatability question (1505 vs. 1506)

    I have a buddy with a first generation M1078 (I can't bring myself to call it an A0). The alternator caught on fire. I'm fixing it. Truck came to me with a 100A 24-12V alternator 76761-N1506-1. And this is what I bought, not realizing the small differences. I bought a...

    Neil was one of the nicest people I've ever met.

    M-series flasher relay - civvy conversion how-to

    Yes. Although all my civvy trailers have LEDs. I think this is just what you get with cheap Chinese stuff. I doubt it's a load issue.

    M-series flasher relay - civvy conversion how-to

    My original EG22 that I installed in 2015 died at the rally last week. So I got about 4 years and 8 months. Not sure on mileage, but I don't drive the truck much. Metal box had no moisture in it or evidence of having had moisture in it.

    Civvy wiper upgrade (arms and blades) - need ideas

    Alright, I need some suggestions on wiper upgrades. I have the good aluminum air powered motors (which I like) and the standard civvy arm and blade upgrade everyone here has been running for years (Anco 41-01 arms and 31-13 blades). It works awesome except the chickenpoop plastic clips which...

    Official 2019 Steel Soldiers Georgia Rally (19SSGR) - Georgia Military Vehicle Rally

    Ok folks, last minute stuff: I have a little bit of last minute loading to do in the morning, but you know how that goes, so I'd anticipate my arrival to be around 10am-ish and I'm bringing the rally trailer with me. When I get there, I'll need some volunteers to help assemble the mess tents...

    Clinto civvy flasher modification ( video)

    I will admit I'm really bad about using a pressure washer and degreaser to make stuff as spotless as possible and so far, my EG22 has survived both in the original box (plastic) and the newer metal box it's currently in. I think if I was doing an EG22 swap and I wasn't going to mount it in a...

    Dist. & plugs

    And remember, on these you'll have to re-prime the oil pump after re-indexing it. Pack it with grease.

    Dist. & plugs

    And the distributor shaft can only slide into the oil pump shaft one way- the slot is offset. And people frequently forget to "time" the oil pump to the cam so the slot will be where you expect it.

    Clinto civvy flasher modification ( video)

    A. Oh man, I'm famous! :clinto:I always thought it was funny when people started advertising CUCVs with the Doghead relay on Craigslist and eBay and I still laugh out loud at the idea of a person who's never been on SS seeing such an ad and saying "WTF IS A DOGHEAD RELAY!?". I live for the...

    1942 White M2A1 engine and gearbox colors.

    I'm doing a restoration on a '42 White M2A1 halftrack and I need some help with colors. The engine is at the machine shop and I'm building the gearboxes now. I think the engine is supposed to be grey (it was the same olive drab as the vehicle when I received it) but I'm not sure about the...
