    New to the site, Shopping for deuces.

    Have been to Lost Wages in the summer time let me give you some prospective on driving a deuce in the heat. It is hotter than two rats f**king in a wool sock. Yea...I know...it's a dry heat. Heat comes up through the floor, through the firewall, and from the top (soft or hardtop). If you are...

    Fuel haulers / trailers / tanks ?

    All of the electric military units were 24 volt......if power was not available they could be configured to gravity feed if the receiving tank was lower than the TPU. Gravity feed worked well but took a lot longer to fill a tank up.

    The last Deuce's in service

    There is still an M37 on the books at Fort Benning...they use it for "Pass and Review" when they have a Post Change of Command Ceremony.

    Fuel haulers / trailers / tanks ?

    A M101 would be too small for a loaded fuel pod......the Army would mount one pod in a M105 and gravity feed the fuel out....occasionally they would put duals on the M105 for stability. The pods were nomally used in the Tanker Pump Unit (TPU) configuration. Two of the pods would be put in the...

    20 ton Crane axles

    Are you talking about this crane? If so I can't think of a use for them....geared very low.....the cranes were powered by hydrolic motors from a huge pump driven by a 903 Cummins V-8. My unit at Fort Benning had them......they got every little use because it was so hard to move them around post.

    Airing up HEMTT wheels safety Q?

    If you are not going to air the tires down low you do not need the beadlocks...that is their purpose...to keep the bead from breaking when the CTIS airs down the tires for traction. I don't know why a professional tire shop would have a problem with rims that bolt together....it is not like...

    Detroit 4-53 in a deuce?

    The 4-53 is rated at 140 HP......no gain from the multi. The 6V71 is rated at 210. I would opt for the double breasted Yamaha rather than the 4 banger.
