Welcome to Steel Soldiers!

Hi Jerry! Welcome aboard!

Thanks for putting this calendar together for us, Tim! Can’t wait to hang one up in my office. Hopefully, my M756A2 will end up in there one day!

Happy 2020, everyone! Thanks for being part of the Steel Soldiers Family. As Andrew mentioned, we are really excited about the new site software and all of the improved and expanded features it will allow us to offer. Stay tuned!

Got it!

The chain for the rear PTO was rusted solid when my dad got it years ago. It came off of Kenny’s incredibly rusty M756A2 from Puerto Rico, so no big surprise there. I decided to try one of those new fangled rust dissolver products to see if I could save it. Evapo-rust has really good reviews on...

Will do. I have a feeling that the more I drive it, the more problems I will find. Considering it sat around for the better part of 16 years, I shouldn’t be surprised.

I used the 756A2 to haul our rented scaffolding back to Sunbelt Rentals this past Saturday. When I got there, one of the guys in the yard said, “Hey, you’re leaking fuel all over the parking lot!” I jumped out and raised the hood to investigate. I discovered that the injection pump supply line...

Would love to do a 6BT swap in a deuce sometime, but not in this one. It’s going to stay as stock/original as possible. I had a chance to drive one of the military 6BT conversions some years ago. It had the air-o-matic steering too. Was a sweet machine.

My dad dropped off some very important M756A2 parts today! While cleaning out the garage, he found the gin pole couplers, the rear winch chain, the rear winch PTO sprocket, and assorted bolts for installing the winch. The winch chain is rusted solid, so I ordered a gallon of Evapo-rust and will...

Got to use the 756A2 over the weekend to haul some scaffolding to our house. My pickup truck is in the shop, so the deuce got called into action. Before I took it out on the four lane, I had to replace the mirrors because the old ones were cracked and broken. The R&R went pretty well and the new...

Unfortunately, this event has been canceled due to lack of interest. We will look at doing another group event with the MVPA next year. Thanks.

Only one month to go! Who’s thinking about joining us? It would be great to get a headcount so I can make sure we have enough campsites and food on hand. Please post up as soon as possible! Thanks!

Decided to do a “quick little repair project” the other morning just to keep the project moving. The door handle on the driver’s side was pretty rusty and the one on the passenger side was half gone. I used my impact driver to spin the screws off on the driver’s side and had the new one...

Spent a little time this evening putting the data plates back on. My dad took them off years ago to keep some jerk from stealing them. The screws were nowhere to be found and there was no way I was putting them on with shiny zinc-plated hardware, so I soaked some new screws in vinegar overnight...

Thanks, Phil!

Yes, I would love some help! I’ll send you a PM. Thanks!

Yes, one came up on GL years ago and just happened to find it with an NSN search. It’s still in its original box at my dad’s house.

Some new parts arrived yesterday! I found two new work lights for the headache rack and an NOS block and tackle. The only BII items I am missing now are the stake pocket adapters. Please let me know if you know of any for sale. Otherwise, I’ll fabricate some.

Update: Great news!! Dave Newman from Eastern Surplus has graciously agreed to sponsor our Friday night cookout! We will have lots of great chow to throw on the barbecue along with all of the fixins and beverages! Thanks, Dave!
