    Anyone have some dead 2hn batteries?

    I am looking for two dead 2hn batteries. I would like to cut the tops off to make a cover to go on the 51 group maint free batteries to make them look more correct. Anyone have some to butcher? These batteries were used in the jeeps and gensets and they are 12 volt.

    Carc paint

    Sherwin Williams industrial supply stores. That is where I get mine but I get it for my "business". Some have been able to buy as individuals while I think some have to be a business to purchase. I think you can also get it from Alfahaven but a lot of people on the board to not like them. I paid...

    M36A2 & Others 1/9 Lansing recovery

    Also, the vents should be both front and rear so this will not tell you anything. Sorry to differ Hulk.

    M36A2 & Others 1/9 Lansing recovery

    Looking at the photo above, it does not look like it is backward. The front flap should have some nylon straps and the back should have four rubber loops. The flaps should wrap so that the openings are to the rear. The front flap folds around from to the side while the side folds to the front...

    M1009 Radio

    Most of the time the tactical radio is the RT524 or the RT246. I am sure singars took their place at some time. We went to singars in the early 90's but we did not have cucvs.

    Source for magnetic-base lights for MilVeh?

    The 1662 is the 24 volt equivalent to an 1157 used in most magnet tail light kits. The 1662 is wired backwards compared to the 1157. I cut off one pin on the side of the 1662 and was able to put the bulb in backward and it worked fine. There is no true 24 volt equivalent to the 1157.

    Pics from floor replacement on M1009

    More work yesterday and today. I cut out the passenger's side and cleaned up all the spot welds. I cut through some of the braces with the plasma so I will need to weld them in and grind them down. I fabricated a replacement for the drive shaft tunnel and cut the old one out. This was after the...

    In Middle of Recovery Need Help! Hub leak

    Keep axle lube in the diff. The lube will wash the grease off the bearings so putting more grease in will not help.

    Bulb Voltage interchange Chart (6V 12V 24V, for trailers and trucks)

    There is one in the technical articles section already. Everyone should run through them once in a while just to see what is there.

    m313 questions

    A lot of trailers went cheap in Lansing. I was high bidder on a M146 but let it go at $353 because I need to pay for my M151.

    Bulb Voltage interchange Chart (6V 12V 24V, for trailers and trucks)

    I got the 1662 and filed off one of the pins on the side. This allowed me to put it in the socket backward so the lights worked without rewiring. Worked just fine.

    Whats it called?

    The blackout drive does not illuminate the bridge plate. At least that is not what it is supposed to do.

    Check this thread. Look on the 4th page and you will see a setup with the rectangular bar removed. Check the rest of the thread to see a more in depth explanation of what I did.

    uhaul trailer hitch

    There is a support bar for the pintle hitch plate that runs from frame rail to frame rail. The bottom of the pintle hitch plate attaches to the middle of the support bar. The bar is rectangular tubing. To make any blazer hitch fit you need to take out the bar. I cut the bar and attached it to...

    Are all Deuces Multifuel?

    Kenny is right. All diesels will not run on gasoline. All the other fuels such a kerosene, JP8 and such are close enough to diesel to run in a regular diesel but gasoline will not.

    I have seen it in person. I like it. Very nice. I don't think anyone would be sorry if they bought it.
