August 22nd, 2008. Dear Cranetruck...... I'll give the #356 bulb a try, as it is, I can read the tachometer really well and the speedo not so well, but since January 2008 I've put 4,500 miles on her, so I have a good idea what RPM's in what gear equals what MPH...

August 22nd, 2008. I guess, since my M35A2 is Wo/W, my solution to your problem might have been two (2) deuce snatch blocks, one chained to a tree and the other attached to an extraction strap attached to the stuck trucks rear bumper, with the free end of the cable siezed up around...

August 16th, 2008. :D If the armor's brittle, you might not want to play bumper tag with a deuce!!! As a blacksmith, it always interests me in finding out how various steels/alloys age, and given the various impacts your V-100 had on the range, I'd say just about any one of those hits...

August 13th, 2008. Try Nationwide Mutual or one of it's affiliates.... In West Virginia and Texas they insure my Unimog and my Deuce each for less then what I used to pay (last year) on a 1989 Ford F250 4X4 PU, they know what they weigh, the size and number or axles and the...

August 9th, 2008. If you don't mind the tiny bubbles, dish soap or dish soap and water works well to lubricate the windshield gaskets and get them in the groove, plus it may be less harmful to the windshield gaskets over the long term..... Just my 2cents worth, based on retrofitting...

August 2nd, 2008. Snatch the pebble from my hand and you shall be ready to go, Grasshopper. [thumbzup] The condition codes seem to have no relevance to the actual condition, good or bad, of the item in question. My 1971Kaiser Jeep M35A2 was "H-7'd", as was my M105A2 trailer...

RE: dangerous truck August 2nd, 2008. :? Gentlemen: I would go with Armyman30yearsplus comments just above. It may be prudent to use an M149 water buffalo, or a stripped M105A2 frame with additional tank, to lighten the load up on the deuce for off road work. The...

August 1st, 2008. Dear David: Likely I would check the coil first, then the points.... Unimogs are notorious for eating their points when run at road speeds, and I would also consider when doing the civillian conversion that the distributor cap (NEW) spacer is...
