    Helpful Reminders & Tips - Driving/Owning MVs - To Other Newbies

    I ordered and installed 2 sets of the locking door handles from TMG on my M185A3 and my M934 almost a year apart and guess what, they're keyed the same. Also if you'll turn the handles over and look inside the recess you'll find the country of origin, and it ain't Uncle Sucker. I wonder how...

    Montgomery, TX to DeRidder, LA to ???

    Jude: I think everything is set up with Michael. He'll tow my trailer back from Jeepsinker's, swing by Shearerlegal's and grab some tires and we'll meet at the TX FMN Rally in College Station... Mark

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    It Wasn't The Mountains That Needed Wiping... By the time I was finished chasing down both air leaks, learning what I didn't know about ferrules and inserts and figuring out how to get a wrench/saw blade/clamp into impossibly small places, it was more than the mountains that needed wiping...

    2016 TX MV Rally

    Hopefully I'll be picking up (6) 9:00x20 NDT's for my M185A3 at the rally on Saturday, but I can use 3-4 more if they're in 90-100% condition. PM me if you have 'em and you'll be there. Thanks... Mark

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    After solving an air leak on my 5 ton two weekends ago, this past weekend was dedicated to finding an air leak somewhere under the hood of my M185A3. Initially it sounded like it was coming from the fuel system near the steering box, but after an hour or so of feeling up each part and piece from...

    2016 TX MV Rally

    Mike: Nope, not a typo, I was a 115lb, pimply faced, worthless POS in Sept. 1969 when I took the bus ride and became a VERY unhappy member of Basic Training Co. C-4-2. My memory isn't worth a **** now but I'll never forget Lt. Pike, D.I.'s Callendrant, Weaver, Mazerkowitz or making my way...

    2016 TX MV Rally

    I'm planning on coming down early Saturday morning to meet up with m715mike who is towing my M105A2 GP win back from jeepsinker, who is recovering it from Ft. Puke. I'll probably bring the M934 since the M185's tires are a little suspect. The trailer I won should have an extra set of bows and...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    My 5 ton learned me something today (like every day!) I've had an air leak at a joint on the downhill leg of the air hose from the upper passenger side tank. Having ALWAYS hated ************* with compression fittings and their **** ferrules, I've been dreading fixing it but decided that today...

    Montgomery, TX to DeRidder, LA to ???

    I just won an M105A2 utility trailer located at Ft. Polk and need it picked up and safely stored off base until I can retrieve it or have it delivered to Waco, TX. You might have already made your road trip, but if not give me a shout. Thanks... Mark archmark@aol.com (254)722-5930

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I installed the backup lights that I got from TMG's on my M934 and M185A3. Hopefully next weekend I'll get both sets both wired and powered up. Even with the new shutterstat that I installed last weekend, the fan still turns with the engine running, but spins free when the engine is off, so I...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Coolant Filter... It's a Wix filter loaded with dry SCA so it's continually adding the anti-corrosive agent as the engine coolant is filtered. To get the coolant initially "charged", it took 3 bottles of the Fleetguard DCA4 liquid. I had done a complete flush on the cooling system and then...

    Urgent need of tow bar! My Deuce is broke near Seguin, Texas.

    If you haven't found a tow bar yet, I have one you can borrow, but I'm up Wacko way, so you'll have a 6 hour round trip at best. It's available if you need it... Mark

    Keeping an M35 at my Residence

    I'm thinking that you're OK on part 'B' since your Deuce isn't a commercial vehicle. It's part 'A' that would worry me, the "recreational vehicle" interpretation. You'll probably get 10 different interpretations of the ordinance from 9 different wingnuts down at the code gulag and that's even...

    Made it home in M934, Ft Riley to Keller, TX!

    CONGRATS to your unnerving but safe trip home. Your daughter will have one heck of a story to tell about what she did over the "winter celebration". Be sure to let us know if you find out what was causing the vibrations and some pix of your new toy will be appreciated, especially with the box...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I'm planning on adjusting the line pressure cable on my M934 tomorrow 1st thing. I greased the slot and bolt well but mine's about 1/4" from being "dead flat" where is should be and it looks like I've got 5/8" of threads showing, so it should be an easy adjustment, just so long as I don't drop...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Time to stump the X-Spurts. The yellow ABS light has never come on in my M934, except during the initial systems function check and then it's extinguished, that is until it turned wet and cold recently. Now it seems that anytime the temp is 40 degrees or below and it's raining or damp out, after...
