If this is your first truck, I say go for the one that's ready to go. First one I got has needed very little work & I really enjoy it. Second is badly in need of a paint job, & I haven't touched it in over a year. Some of the guys say painting is easy. If you have to remove a lot of old loose...

Haspin is in Indiana? How about that. You guys have talked about Haspin now & then, but I never saw Indiana mentioned! I could get to that one. CBVET

Check the ground & cables. If they are clean & tight, you will have to take it apart & clean it up. Electric motor cleaner & some emery cloth works well. Make sure all internal electrical contact points are clean. Will probably be OK. CBVET

Seems to me that one of the operators manuals says to "engage the clutch on the winch drum, then operate winch from inside cab by engaging pto". Is that not the usual/accepted way? I don't recall ever using a truck winch in 'Nam. Actually, I'm not even sure why I want one now. Reason doesn't...

Does anyone know what TM would cover winch problems & disassembly? CBVET

Getting ready to install winch on myM35A2 Deuce. In checking over winch I got, I find I can't fully engage or disengage the winch clutch. Clutch lever turns a few degrees each way if I tap it with a lead hammer, but won't go to either detent position. I can turn the driveshaft pretty easily...

My 1952 Stude M35 gasser has an original winch & low headlights. The 1970 AMG M35A2 has no winch & high headlights. CBVET

I use my Deuce at night a lot, sometimes in thick woods or tight places. I really need to install some good back up lights. Has anyone come up with a nice setup that looks like it "belongs" on a Deuce? Any suggestions appreciated. CBVET

RE: Re: RE: Air system No, they just figured out how to get more of the money. CBVET

RE: I installed PTO on my M813 and now it A lot of you guys gave ME the same info, which I appreciate. NAPA had the gaskets in stock. I've checked around South Bend Indiana, where both of my Deuces were built, for the shims. Haven't found anyone yet who knows what I'm talking about. I got 3...

Great info guys! Keep it coming. I'm slowly-but-surely getting stuff together to make some cheaper fuel. A buddy gave me a barrel pump, & another some 1 micron filters. I don't know what I'll be using yet, but I've spread the word & my friends are coming through with different things I may use...

I have what I believe is a complete heater setup taken off a nearly-new deuce. I'm not interested in selling, but would trade for a real nice CANVAS cargo cover for a deuce. PM if interested. Eric

Best place to be.

David, I'm sure you're right about that. So maybe the"filtered" oil in the drums should be run through a final filter/water separator as it's being pumped into the truck's tank? Any thoughts on the best filter setup for that? Eric

Who/what is GMA? Eric

Kenny, The stuffs not in abstentia, it's in Ohio! Eric

Alphadeltaromeo, I really don't know yet. It's a small but busy shop, so probably all I need. A SeaBee buddy of mine works for a forklift repair company, & I could get a lot of drain oil/ hydraulic oil/brake fluid mix from them, but I don't know if the brake fluid would be safe. Just found a guy...

I too would much prefer a simple setup. Just want to be sure I don't wreck anything, so I have more questions. Remember, I'll be getting the used stuff from an auto repair shop, so it'll probably be pretty dirty. 1. Wouldn't hydraulic filters plug up pretty quickly? Some sort of prefilter...

Thanks Polverone, I checked out the info you provided. I read somewhere on SS that someone had blown an IP because of teflon particles in the oil. As I sure can't afford that kind of damage, I really want to be sure all the crap is filtered out. And who knows what may get dumped in their drain...

Would like to filter used motor oil/ transmission fluid/ gear oil to mix with gasoline for my multifuel. Any thoughts on micron size I need to filter down to? Thanks, Eric
