The Canadian MLVW Deuces were built by Bombardier in Montreal under license. About 2700 or so were built in the early 1980'. They do have some upgrades, compared to the US M35A2, for example the Detroit Diesel, power steering, Allison Auto and the hydraulic winch, but they are not quite at the...

The real reason why people are upset is because the camper is not OD green. You ought to fix that.

I was looking at something unrelated and came across an active eBay auction. There is undoubtedly a 2.5t truck behind that old MACK cement mixer. Maybe someone feels like rescuing a Deuce? http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150251507015&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:CA:1123 Look at the...

Off topic, but...funny, that. I recently learned that what I really wanted to do was to rip out two walls, build ceiling beams and lay down hardwood floor. If it hadn't been for my better half, I would never have known! I would have wasted my time tinkering in the garage. I also almost bought a...

It is my understanding that the seals are not only there to keep stuff in, but also to keep stuff out. Also, gear oil is considerably thinner than bearing grease and, if mixed, the thinned down sludge may not work so well in bearings designed to be greased. I believe that, in a Rockwell axle...

Thanks for the insight! While still sad that a truck gets chopped up, at least it is not one of the latest Air Force trucks....

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=260210914033&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=016 I do not think I am misinterpreting the ad. Someone has a latEST model M35A2 that, judging from the pictures, is pristine - and kills it. I just do not get it. Am I somehow weird? It just pains me...

OK, this time it is my turn: SaddamsNightmare..... nopics

The Canadian Forces are actually still running about 2700 "Medium Logistical Vehicles - Wheeled" which are powered by a Detroit Diesel and have auto trannies. They are a hybrid between M35A2 and A3. Super singles. They were license built by Bombardier in Quebec in the early 1980'...

No, you do not want in-pan heating elements. I have seen quite a few stick-on pan heaters burn themselves out. The plastic cover melts, burns and drips and the paint catches fire and burns off the oil pan. Unless you have a thick oil trail running down the side of the engine, that is usually the...

I can answer parts of your question as someone who is in a similar situation to you and has not yet found the Deuce to buy. This web site is an incredible source of information and the way to learn is to keep reading the posts in this forum. Also, READ THE MANUALS for the truck, at least the...

You NEED a flapper for that exhaust stack....or spray paint the mug OD green! 8)

I just thought I'd post it...the FMTV are based on the Austrian STEYR truck design. Steyr is now owned by the German MAN. Steyr has endless experience in off-road and military truck applications and the Austrian armed forces bought the 12M18 (12 ton, Medium chassis, 180hp) as standard troop...

Maybe this is common knowledge, but I just came across a supplier and decided to post it. Some OEM equipment to manufacture LDT465-1C components seems to have found its way to China. New or NOS VE pumps are notoriously expensive and this may be useful: http://www.chinahanji.com/ I am not...

JRBAMATEX You are a saint. I am not quite sure I would have held on to my patience quite as well. So much for "driven onto the lot" in the auction descriptions. You pay for what you get - and sometimes you get, what you paid for.

Ahem....a PARKED stainless trailer? Or one that passes one on the right? lol Not sure that there are many chances to pass anything going "at speed" in the Deuce, short of being in a free fall!

Too bad you do not have the exhaust that exits between the tandems....just pull forward ever so slowly...the pipe must be at about the right height for strategically depositing a little cloud! :twisted:

Our tool store here has pioneer tools (shovels, axes, pickaxes) with "plastic" handles. They do not splinter, do not swell or shrink or rot and only break when severely abused (like wood). Paint the yellow handles OD green and you should be set. Even if they do get stolen, it would not be a...
