    Trailer electrical connector?

    Anyone know where I can get a trailer connector (plug) which will fit my Deuce trailer outlet? Want to set up a civilian trailer with 24 volt bulbs. Thanks, Eric

    Pumpless!

    With the pump running, I got a little more gunk, but not much. In all I drained about 8 ounces of fuel, & got about 1.5 ounces of water. I'll remember to listen for the pump running from now on. I wonder though, if the pump is necessary. If the injector pump can pull up the fuel alright, then...

    Pumpless!

    It seems to me that I recently saw something about a multifuel Deuce running without the in-tank fuel pump working. Never really thought about it, as I figure my Deuce runs well. Doing a little PM today, I wanted to drain the primary fuel filter. I'd guess it hasn't been drained since I got it...

    Insulated canvas top fits ?

    Rich, Does it have the oblong shaped plastic windows along both sides? My Deuce came with a heavy insulated cover like that. It actually lapped over the sides of the bed & was bolted on. 2X6 joists were added to support the weight. I took mine off because there was no way to roll up the sides...

    Crappy Deuce story

    I am a VERY lucky man. My wife likes military vehicles, likes guns, likes cold beer, dogs, & me. She drives the M35A2 now & then. She & another veteran's wife take it on Wal Mart trips for the VFW. The '52 Reo gas truck steers a little easier, but she loves the "attitude" of the Multifuel...

    Testing sprage?

    Finally got the clutch & rear main seal in the 1952 gas M35. Runs great! Any suggestions as to an easy way to test the sprage to see if it's engaging? (Sprag? Sprage? Sprague?) I'd rather not get it stuck in a sand dune to test it. We have stuff here they call "sugar" sand. You can go through it...

    What are your laws on Military vehicles?

    Here in Indiana, things are pretty simple. As far as wheeled vehicles, buy a license plate & drive it. And actually, if it looks military you could probably get by without a license plate! I don't know of any regulation of tracked vehicles. Eric

    Engine swap fuel efficiency?

    I checked mpg using the odometer & fuel used. I made no allowance for idling time, but I can't imagine it would add much. As I've mentioned previously, the smoke is so bad, that the high school band stayed back nearly 1/4 mile at our last parade. It doesn't use oil. So what about "turning...

    Engine swap fuel efficiency?

    Okay, so what's wrong? I've mentioned before that this thing blows a LOT of smoke, & I asked if the fuel could be turned down to reduce it. Most of the responses said to add a turbo. I don't want to. Wouldn't some sort of fuel adjustment help? I starts great in cold weather. Runs really well...

    Engine swap fuel efficiency?

    Westech, you get 10-12 mpg? I get 5 on the highway, pushing 50 mph. I thought mine was normal. Eric

    Winch for Deuce?

    Have a 1970 M35A2 with no winch. Just came across a 5 ton dump in a local scrapyard. Engine is gone, but a lot of other parts are still there, including the winch. I see that the winch driveshaft comes from the right (passenger) side. On my 1952 Stude M35 gas, the winch driveshaft comes from the...

    Memorial Day in Northern Indiana

    Starke County Indiana has a population of under 25,000. But our VFW in Knox Indiana works very hard to remind everyone what Memorial Day is all about. Veterans, current military, firefighters, & police officers will stand guard for a 24 hour vigil. There will be a POW-MIA candlelight service...
