    New deuce, need a little info... Possible treat

    The only M44A2 series trucks with dual circuit brakes are the 1987-1989 USAF contract trucks. They have 87K, 88K or 89K USAF registration numbers and their VINs begin with either 1040, 1041, 1050 or 1051. I'll have to look at mine tomorrow. Somebody remind me. There is a TM related to the...

    Ok, where do you start? Before I get to the individuals, I want to thank our sponsors, who have made an event like this possible. Old Guard Graphics (https://www.oldguardgraphics.com/) make our t-shirts and they've given us a little discount but they've been very flexible in how we could pay...

    Alrighty folks, A. I have printed all of the waivers that have been sent to me, even if it came in 15 minutes ago (it's currently 10:15pm). If you send it now, I won't see it so you'll have to fill it out at registration. B. Same goes for insurance cards. I will have them with me in the...

    2018 Georgia Military Vehicle Rally buy-sell-trade

    Hey guys, My business partner / buddy RustyJunk was preflighting his Deuce just now and one of the air tanks has a rusted out spot. If anyone has a single or both of the standard Deuce (single circuit, so 1951-1986) tanks and you want a reasonable amount for it, bring it to the rally and come...

    Alright folks, two things: 1. Tomorrow afternoon at 5pm is the deadline for you to fill out your liability waiver and your current insurance card is you're going on the hardball convoy on Saturday. The email is posted here on post #141...

    I want people to see what goes on behind the scenes with putting this event on. The rally owns a bunch of surplus handwashing stations. They were used when we got them and we've had them for awhile. And Durhamtown has stored them for us in previous years. But last year when we showed up, most...

    Looking for a Rockwell axle torque spec

    You mean it's leaking from between the housing and the bearing retainer? If so............ under that seal housing are shims, they're how you preload the front and rear pinion bearings. In a 2.5 ton, they look like this: So, there's no gasket and you're not supposed to put sealer (like...

    Prepping Deuce for paint

    I know everyone acts like CARC is pure death-cancer-lava-AIDS, but you guys know any urethane paint is supposed to be handled (sanded, sprayed, etc.) with proper safety gear (at a minimum an approved respirator, gloves and long sleeves; preferably a full suit with fresh air supply)? Even a...

    D-town is not consistent in regards to this policy. I have been told wildly different things over the years. My personal policy (when I had my Mule there) was to drive without a helmet, but had a helmet with me if they decided to be sticklers.

    Wiper motor problems

    There is a factory electric wiper kit. All of the M44A3 model trucks had it and I have bought 3 or 4 M44A2 trucks directly from the govt. that had the M44A3 electric wiper set up. It works great. They aren't terrible. There is another aspect to the plastic wipers...

    Folks, we have a small issue. SCSG-G4 is the guy who owns the MKT and the 2 deuces that haul all of the food, supplies to the rally and cook for all of us so we don't have to come to the event with multiple coolers and try to cook in the dark. He has a friend who usually drives his second...

    Zero chance of flooding. Durhamtown's above sea level height and lack of local rivers make it what I'd consider a zero flooding area, especially in terms of our field. However, I was just thinking about this. The weather reports have been revised down to 10-20% chance of rain for the event...

    I hadn't considered this, but it's a good idea. Any of you that are going on the hardball convoy, remember, our insurance company requires that we grab a copy of your CURRENTinsurance card. An expired insurance card doesn't cut the mustard. If ya'll want to send the insurance card to me at...
