    New Young Member and have many questions

    Welcome! Some good advise I received, and pass on to folks like yourself is to spend time behind the wheel of both deuces and 5 tons. Hopefully you can build relations with MV owners in your area to coordinate meetings where you can put in some hands on time!

    Acquired a FLU419 in PA

    It sure looks like something (from the shift assembly??) exited the rear gear set under protest! Have you rotated the shafts completely to assess each and every tooth of both gears? Rick

    You think they'd have this figured out...

    I'm of the opinion that GL knows they aren't getting every dollar on every lot, but because there is so much material passing through, it's alright. And for us hobbyists, this scenario is good news. Rick

    Need Deuce Mechanic in NW Missouri -- Fair Pay Scale

    I may have missed it being suggested previously, but have you considered having a direct conversation with the cousin about what he wants to be paid? The way I see it, it's between you guys anyway, since you both have the most skin in the game! You will have to come to terms on the hourly rate...

    LMTV early years, before 1996 'first contracts"

    I would surmise the Steyr was for some European countries as well, hence the left hand drive. Rick

    Factory Original Gauge Cluster with Tachometer?

    That cluster, with the mechanical air gauge and fuel gauge inside the tach would be great for a truck with on-board air! Rick

    Ma's Deuce at the strip

    That pavement strip looks too narrow for the way my deuce goes sideways when I'm doing burnouts to warm up the tires! Rick

    Deuce tail roller and bed winch, skid loading setup

    Ty, I acknowledge you are fitting the hydraulic principally for skidding the shelter onto the bed. However, in post #39 you mentioned the idea of fitting gin poles for lifting. Does this winch have the proper design and braking mechanisms for lifting? I'd like to know your thoughts on this...

    M35 no lights

    I'd definitely probe the light switch for power and grounds. At the switch is also a good place to jumper the various lights with a temporary hot lead from the switch harness of from another battery source. Pull the connector from the switch and probe it with a test light to find out if there is...
