Check for a crimped or kinked fuel line somewhere. Sometimes, if only a little fuel is needed, it runs, but step on the gas pedal, and it stalls out. I had a pickup and two deuces like that.

If I am changing my gear oil in the axles, can I use the old gear oil (filtered of course) as fuel in the deuce? I wouldn't use it as strong as 50/50 with diesel, just a gallon or two at a time.

Based on the data plate info, that's a 1970 truck. 5-ton expandable van body. Here's what it USED to look like:

BFR - yes and no. The bolt hole patterns are the same, but the wheel is slightly different. So, you can interchange. Mike - looking good! Just to let you know, I did, at one time, have an original Marine Corps jerry can that was specifically made for the Mite, it was all aluminum and dated...

Glad to hear that, westfolk. I'm not against scrapping things, just hate to hear when a good truck, or a good ANYTHING, has been reduced to pieces before it really was ready. Scrapyards are great for getting rid of a lot of really worthless stuff, turning junk into a usable material, and...

But try to remember where he is. Maybe it's easy to find parts here in the states, from junked trucks and rigs in the DRMO system, but maybe the logistical system is no longer supporting the parts and part numbers he needs in the Middle East. The military is planning on phasing the 800 series...

There's a beautiful M60 wrecker on mseriesrebuild.com, one of his customers. I believe it was in MVM as well.

How rare are the M108 and M60 series wreckers? I know a handful of Steel Soldiers have them....

Joe, you DO know this website is about saving OD Iron, right? ;) Man, you make wreckerman seem tame... Are you scrapping them all because your quarry uses trucks up that fast? I know rock is hard on ANY truck, but wow, that's a lot of trucks and trailers there that met their end in the rock...

RE: Took my Deuce to the srapyard! Wow, that's a lot of metal. I see the rear end of the truck sagging a little under the weight. You sure there wasn't a use for that maintenance body? Looks okay from here...

RE: Gl suprise bonus Can't they just drive them off the trailer, like most human beings do? rofl

Guess we're gonna need to know parts numbers, NSN numbers, etc. in order to ID this. Oh, and BTW... nopics

I will be heading to TNJ Murray's in Delaware on Friday, 8/22. Tentatively plan on meeting nickd there unless something work related comes up. Does anyone need anything specific there that they would like me to pick up at TNJ for them? Large items I might not be able to swing payment right...

Re: RE: M37s and their trannys Well, I knew that! I just meant you had to push the clutch in twice to shift it. But your answer helped, I think what you're saying is from 1st to 2nd you have to push the clutch medal in twice to shift (once when shifting out of gear, once when putting into...

ShieldWolf37 told me that his 1951 M37 has a double clutched transmission. He said that this was normal for manual shifting vehicles of the day. My question is: did the later M37B1 have double clutched trannys, or did they have a single clutch?

RE: Re: looking for a tongue for a m1061 5Ton trailor Wish I could help you, but mine XM1061E1 doesn't have that option. Apparently, only the A2s have the added drawbar for the armor. I am going to a couple MV junkyards in the next few weeks. Will see if I can snoop around and find one.

Looks like it was a paintball target to me. Great save! Thanks for giving this old beast a good home!

Are you serious about this? Are transfer cases for the V-100 so rare that if you did find one without the T-case, it's pretty much a useless endeavor? Wow... Great work on rebuilding the T-case, that is going to work better than new!
