These dudes. http://www.innertubes.net/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=279 Call them and ask for Rusty. Nice guy. The number is 800-325-2860 ext. 102. The web stuff don't work for some reason. I got the tube on the link above and a 12" wide flap for the 14.5 tires. I was very pleased...

Go with the 14.5's. There has a lot of discussion about this in the last few months. I have been making rims and have found a good source for tubes. Check out these threads: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=8666...

I won't be going to Aberdeen now. Too much that needed to happen didn't and too much that didn't need to happen did :( I bet someone in the convoy would love to haul these heavy things up there. Ironically they have all attended the show twice. It seems nobody is interested in snow chains...

If anybody wants the dual chains for a deuce I still have about 8 sets of these that fit 9.00 x 20 duals for $25 each. Shipping will kill you since they weigh about 75 pounds each. More on my web site: http://www.joetrapp.com/vehicles/interestingstuff.html Joe Trapp

I am not sure if there is more than one "new" style or not but OPCOM's pictures show the old style very well. The fire ring is the dead give away. You might also check with CMS in Augusta GA for a gasket set. They where out in 2002 when I needed them but they refered me to another company in...

I have noticed a lot of people have bought new toys and are planning long trips in these things to get them home. If it has not been done before I thought it would be wise to make a list of spare parts and supplies to help make the trip a success. First off I noticed an automotive section at a...

You rascal. Too bad I don't have any parts for the 800's for you to beat me out of :lol: Or do I? Joe Trapp

You're probably right. When I bought my first M35 in 2002 the dealer in Augusta I bought it from had a big row of take out engines. A mechanic friend of mine suggested I remove that weird "multifuel" engine and put in a Cummings or something like that. When I told him I could get all the take...

I bought one last year that is almost complete with turbo. I have two other engines and one of them is almost complete but I would never consider rebuilding one as long as they are so plentiful and cheap. Am I crazy, lazy or cheap? I bought the engine last year just to have a spare turbo and...

Re: RE: Head nut wrench. Only if you have a visa card :lol: I have invented about a dozen things that I have made working models of, and one thing is for sure, no one will give you anything. I have even been to invention "conventions" and still, nobody is interested in you, only what they...

RE: pic Here it is, government surplus at it's best. One of my cages is bent out a couple of inches like something blew up inside it. Makes me hurt to look at it.

I see we thinks alike. One of us needs to patent that thing. :lol: I was worried about not being perfectly accurate with the torque but if that broken wrench twist at all that would give the user a false torque too. Am I right about that? Joe Trapp

If you are talking about the wrench needed to torque the nuts on the head of a deuce, check out the one I made. I didn't even have to remove the injectors. Of course you have to understand torque and know how to compensate for the added length. Again, I am a certified welder. Joe Trapp

I pulled a lunette from a trailer a few years ago but I have no idea where I put it. I really need to get rid of some of this stuff. If I run across it I'll let you know. Did someone say it was a 1" nut? I think I have a bunch of 1" nuts and bolts some of them fine threads too. Weigh a...

Use the hammer. It works great if you know how to use it. It wore me out a few weeks ago and I discovered I was using it wrong. It is for the younger guys though. I can't swing a hammer for long now with out the joints in my fingers getting real sore. That's one of the things I'll ask my...

OK, so the pictures are right. I guess the "preview" is backwards from what actually comes up in the post. I'm still learning.

Status Report: I put the 1300/1400R20 tube I got from Rusty in the 14.5 tire tonight and it was a decent fit. It touched the circumference of the tire well but did have a little slack with the side walls. Still not too much. I put 12" flaps in too. I felt much better about these. Plenty of...

A few years ago before I installed the master switch on my deuce I used to just keep the ground post loose and I would push it down real hard onto the battery when I wanted to run the truck. One day I hit the starter and heard a nice arc. Checked the battery and there was a puddle of lead next...

Danger Will Robinson!! I feel it important to point out that the M105 has the heaviest tongue weight of any trailer I have ever lifted by hand. My testicles and lower back will no longer allow my brain to over ride them and let me lift one from the ground. Two stories: First my middle finder...

Re: hitch I have a civilian pintle. I have several military ones that are small and look just like the standard civilian hitch. I don't know if any of the small ones are better suited than others.
