The "DDAEO-93-C-R110" is the contract number for the rebuild, the "93" (in the contract number) is the year of the contract. So it would be some time after 1993. Is there a tag/plate on the dash of the truck?
If you have a one pice vinyl cover make sure you put the front of the cover on the front of the truck. If not damage to the cover will result. It happen to members on here.
Most "STROBE" lights will work on 12v-24v. Most LED's do not. Tomar makes strobe and led lights and siren and switch box/controllers that are 12 and 24 volt. I'm installing some of there LED's right now and they are marked 12 and 24volt. This would take most of the load off a converter.
The other day I heard a loud boom out side. I've got a M135 with the OEM tires talk about dry rot. I have too fill them every other year or so, the truck is a non runner and just sits. So I thought that one of them blew out. I check it and they were all fine, then I saw my flat bed trailer with...
All of the tags I've seen on the seat are for the set belts. A rebuild of any kind will have a much biger tag/plate on the dash. I can't count the number of these trucks I've seen on ebay and the like claiming full rebuilds just because of that little tag on the seat.

This is an old thread but here is the pic. (a little late). I like the CGarbee post about the equipment trailer and that seems like a good idea (so I see why the military did not come up with itrofl). For the deuce I think a M105 verson or M200 would be some thing to do. Not so much as for a...
Didn't some one one here do that all ready?? Not with a RBU but with the back half of a deuce like Heath said.?. The RBU would be way too big to use with a deuce. And that is not a PTO on the back axle of the deuce. It just the rear of the pionion shaft.
Here are some pic of a fuel tank I sand blasted years ago. It's been sitting in the shop waiting for me to get around to cleaning out the inside so I can weld in patches. It has got bumbed down on the list of things to do. It has almost no new rust on it. And I've touch the top side of it alot...
I had it happen too.
I also found the other day that the rivets that hold the spring latch head on, had broke. The only thing holding it together was paint. So check the spring latches real good, not just a quick look. Give them a good hard pull.2cents
