March 30th, 2010. One of our members on here was kind enough to send me a NOS set of data plates (blank) for a 1968 Johnson Corporation M105A2 I have been cleaning up. Mine had the original Data plate and procurement plate, much faded, but it was missing the lift data plate. The question is...

MArch 30th, 2010. Roscoe: Obviously car drivers in Indiana are much more polite and intellectual then car drivers in North East Texas!!!! I have to use the air horns frequently to prevent texrons from pulling out at point blank range in front of a rolling deuce they think they can outrun...

March 30th, 2010. Dodgeman: Might I suggest that you check with the FL.DMV headquarters people in Tallahassee before you do anything? In most states (except Wisconsin) these vehicle are grandfathered due to their built dates and US Government build...

March 30th, 2010. Crazyguyla: URAL DNIEPER! There are several guys in the US and at least one company in England handled thse bikes (Neville Dneiper Co.),so you should be able to scrounge parts and manuals. If you can acquire the bike and send it home its worth two or three thousand or...

March 29th, 2010. Airbornebandsman: It's probably already been said.....! You can get a new horn button kit that includes the wire from our usual network of parts dealers or on EBAY. Given the age of most of these trucks, most of the harness is likely gonna go in the...

March 29th, 2010. Congrats to the OP on his acquisition, and cheers that your wife didn't divorce you on the method used to buy it. You now rate the genuine "IRON BUTT DEUCE DRIVER" Award for riding that nasty old box seat for over 500+ miles.... Now use your wife's credit card to get a...

March 29th, 2010. VTDEUCEDRIVER: Love those Vietnam painted deuces and the M151, some fellas have all the right toys.... They look good, so they are good. Is the tractor a 2-1/2 or 5 ton? (I don't want to lose my message going back and looking) I always find it interesting...

March 28th, 2010. Did he build it to float? and what kind of propulsion system does it, or will it have? There are guys out there that build scale models of battleships in about this size for radio and/or human control, and frequently they fit them with shotun barrels to use black...

March 27th, 2010. While it is only a personal opinion (mine), I kinda look at it that the electrical system parts are universal on the M35A2 series when they are twenty four volt DC (24VDC). Sure, the equipment was built by the low bidder (DUH), but then these vehicles have proven...

March 27th, 2010. Swede: I'd say hang on and reflect a little bit before you go off the deep end. Essentially what you have done is taken the military modifications to the starter on the CUCV and probably gotten halfway to the civillian K version. I would agree with Dstang97, that the truck...

March 26th, 2010. David Doyle's "Standard Catalog of American Military Vehicles" in one of the appendixes in the back gives the correct weights to be displayed empty ("06"), M35A2 loaded for cross country "08" and weight with trailer "C-" " ") This gives the bridge guards some idea whether the...

March 26th, 2010. jas67: You may want to rethink the use of an M105A2 trailer behind an F350, as the trailer starts out heavy, and its on road tare is 2750, GWVR is 5750, and unless you can find some variant with surge brakes, these animals do not want to stop easily...

March 26th, 2010. WEEBEE WEBBING or Pizzoferato Enterprises, Richmond, Ohio (Check their website). They will have the straps you need and if you specify the model and year, they will be right.... No Doubt about it!:) Cheers, Kyle F. McGrogan:razz:

March 26th, 2010. JSB: A very cool modification for your deuce dumptruck..... Boy, you Bobcat operator better not miss the side of that ramp or he is gonna have an exciting fall....!!!! I always thought of doing something like that for a 1951 Ford F6 Dump I had. Cheers...

March 26th, 2010. The Russion TU-160 is very similar in general form to our old Valkyrie in design, except that the engines are probably wing mounted as opposed to being in a nacelle on the underbody. I wonder what issue of Russian Playboy the pilots held up for the fighters inspection...

March 25th, 2010. BigMike: I always heard that Army Mules were prone to biting their drivers, this one seems to have bitten you in your back pocket.......;-)! Now I know why Unimogs are designed to go where the mules can't.... As I had one try to follow me up a East...

March 24th, 2010. MAddawg308: "You're a poet, although you don't know it, your feet show it, they're Longfellows!":grin: For the rest of you gents, the GTB Ford truck is a very cool item, and they used to be seen around here and there, usually converted to farm or...

March 24th, 2010. JAKOB: Forgive me, I have been poring through the deuce parts manual looking for the PN's and installation information for the Rear Main Seal and "Carrier" seal. I don't have a hard copy of the engine and engine parts manual, but I obtained the rear main seal...

March 24th, 2010. Daleridge: You may want to get the fuel tank cleaned and lined, as a lot of old gas engine system tanks tended to get water, rust, dirt and general crud in them, and it always gets to the filter screen and clogs them up. Our inline filters today are of much finer micro...

March 24th, 2010. For you guys with rear main seal problems on your Multifuels, please permit me to politely point out that you have a main rear seal, then for want of any better word, a carrier housing seal also. If you replace the main seal only without also replacing the carrier seal, you...
