I bought my first deuce this month. My only previous experience with owning an MV is my '42 MB. Rather than going through the GL route, I decided to buy mine from a private seller so I could ask a lot of questions, get lots of photos, and do my best to get one that I could drive home to...

phototest :roll:

Wayne, Thanks for the listing to the TM. I've printed it & it will be very helpful. :lol: I'm very new at this duece thing, and have made copies of all the TMs, but I still have some difficulty finding the right sections. :? I picked up my Duece out of New Orleans just over 3 weeks ago...

The driver's side window on my newly aquired duece was also stuck half way down. The window mechanism had jumped off the track, just as steelandcanvas suggested. After much fooling around and having to jam my hand in tight places within the door, I was able to get most of it back on the...

Hi Kenny, I've been enjoying reading your posts. I can take some photos tomorrow, including the data plate. It is suppose to be really nice here in Charlotte tomorrow & Monday, so I took the bed cover and top off the cab for the first time; and will take a drive topless (the duece, not me)...

John, The search button & I are well aquainted. I used it a lot before deciding to get a M35. Now that I have it, I use the search trying to find answers to my many questions. The questions I end up posting are just the tip of my question ice burg! Regards, Russ

Success! And I didn't have to resort to violence. After I got some of the paint off the knob, I was able to see the set screws and get the knob off. Then it was a simple job of some WD-40 and a pair of pliers to get the valve rotating again. Thanks again everyone for making this repair so...

I just tried to turn it CCW, and it looks like I have a fight on my hands. It just doesn't want to turn. aua From your descriptions, it sounds like it may be valve & not a switch? At least I know now how it is suppose to work. Thanks! If some paint thinner, WD-40 & brute force won't get...

Gentlemen, thank you. [thumbzup] I'll stick with the DOT 5 since I know there are significant benifits. I'll purchase a gallon from sprucemtsurplus.com and give the system a good flush (which is not a bad idea in any case). -Russ

When picked up my M35A2, the brake pedal felt spongy and went nearly to the floor. The fluid lever in the master cylinder was low and after adding some fluid, the brake pedal felt fine for the entire drive home. (832 miles, but that's another story for later.) The problem is I added "plain"...

I have recently aquired my first M35 and have a question on the operation of the wiper switch: How is it suppose to operate?! It has been painted over and is stuck. I can't tell if it is suppose to turn clock-wise/counter-clockwise or pull-push and I couldn't find anything in the TMs which...

You're right, and I will do one......... some day. But in the meantime, I can change a spare, and if it takes more than that I'll have my cell phone & AAA card with me!

Thanks for the help & quick responses. I'm going to go with the big truck tire shop route & save the experience of doing it myself for later. The jeep was enough for me for now! I'll go see the guys at Piedmont. Thanks for the recommendation. This is my first experience with a "Big...

I just purchased my first deuce. My wife, family & friends all think I've finally lost it; and they're probably right. But it is a blast to drive! It has two tires which need to be replaced. There are several great threads in this forum about taking the rims apart to replace the tires. I...

Ironpig, Did you figure out what your leak was, and, if so, what was the fix? I just bought my first M35, and as I was driving it home :driver: it developed the exact same leaks. Your photos could have been of my truck. Like yours, both wheels on the he passenger side rear wheels leaked...

Thanks for all the input guys. Very helpful. And I managed to generate some controversy on my first post!

Hi Folks, I'm new to this forum and the subject of Deuces in general. I've been reading a lot the postings and have been learning a lot. I have a question on the fuels folks are using these days in their multi-fuel engines. I assume that diesel is normally used and other fuels as a back-up...
