Driving a deuce sends me into a Zen like state where I just cruise along and enjoy the scenery.....on four lane roads this is not a problem.
When you get on the two lane and the MOTD in his Beamer wants to pass you on a blind curve is where it issues start.
If I see that I have collected a...
There is a company (Coker, I think) that advertises in Supply Line Magazine that makes reproduction tires for a lot of vintage MV's. Coker Tire - Buy Vintage Tires and Wheels
You might give them a shot.
I had two high CCA batteries from Tractor Supply (Boss Lady works there) in my M915 and never had an issue cranking the 400 Cummins even when it was cold here.
You can take 2x4's and crib them up to keep them from sliding around.....if you are going to off road I would secure them in case of a...
If I were going to buy a deuce now I would not pay more than 3500 for one with a hard top and heater...if you want a winch add a thousand bucks to that.
For that money you can now buy a M915 or M900 series cargo truck....the days of the 1000 dollar deuce from GL are over.
They seem to sell...
Sounds like you have it covered.
The front brakes don't usually lock up when there is no air on the system.
You need to check for damage on the rear axle...when they lifted the truck they may have damaged the air chambers....I have see it before on trucks loaded or moved around by GL...

If you need parts for you parts trucks there are two sitting behind the VFD near me.....I left my contact info on a dead possum I hung from the door but they haven't called me back.
Next time I'm by there I'll check on them again.
Found this on Wiki:
In the years leading up to WWII, as the need for armored vehicles was realized, designers were faced with the problem of how to power the vehicles, and turned to using aircraft engines, among them radial types. The radial aircraft engines provided greater power-to-weight...
I didn't mean to imply that the pictured engine was a gasser.....we had a Sherman as a gate guardian at my last unit.....the Unit Historian owned it (well....he said he owned it...long story) and told me that it had a radial gasser in it.....it had been rescued from a range and had more than one...
When I had my money pit (M816) I had a farm policy with Progressive....when I told the agent what the M816 was she said if you tow anything with it, even your own stuff, and have an accident we will not pay the claim.......we will however sell you Commerical Tow Insurance at a price you can't...
I think the raidial engines were in the Shermans......I don't think they were diesel...they ran on high octane gas.....the Germans called them "Tommie Cookers" since they burned easily if hit by a round from a Panzer or Tiger tank.
I'll see your 2 M37's and raise you a CENSORED that I found at my local scrapper yesterday.
Details to be posted when OPSEC no longer applies.
