fwiw-i think they are similar to a farm tractor in that it has no suspension other than the air in the tires. a little worse actually at least a tractors front wheels can pivot which helps a lot in turning in a plowed field with deep ruts. so in off roading if one or two wheels leave the ground...

Welcome to the wonderful adventure that is a deuce. Its a love affair and a train wreck all at the same time. Mine always puts a smile on my face even while she is challenging my sanity. Best wishes for a happy holiday and your deuce adventure.

I have a 1968 Kaiser Jeep M275 that sometime around 1986 was converted to a diesel LTD 465 1-d. It may have interim work but I suspect it was a gasser previously due to some of the acetylene torch work in cutting exhaust holes in fender and similar things. Anyway, no winch and it has the low...

You are doing a fantastic job. I wish you well in the job search and continued tenacity and skill in this project. You have inspired me to continue in work on my own later year Diesel M275 project.

Check on one of the parts sellers like Eastern Surplus etc. you will need to know the specific vehicle and other details before you look into it.

Thanks for a very interesting read. Many subtle and some dramatic twists and turns along the way. You would not think the humble deuce would have been involved in such intrigue over its engine. It also seems a lot more could have come from Continental and A-C in this area given time and research.

good recovery/rebuild. considering what you had to work with impressive. thanks for sharing. I was missing my handle as well. Made one out of long grade 8 bolt and a thin wall steel tube. would like to cover it in something like and old bicycle handle bar grip or similar. probably not...

My condolences to family and friends. so sad so so sad.

I wrapped an old pair of fatigue pants around the air intake screen and made a panic run to the store and cleared out all the toilet paper I could find. she is such a brave girl.

I noticed that the placard on the vehicle indicates : DOL/ETA contractor". that translates to Department of Labor/Employment and Training Adminsitration. As a training vehicle its purpose could have been training for a variety of pumping and transportation of liquids. Sewage, clear,black,brown...

Welcome from just up the road in Livermore. Definitely looks like a refueling rig. Perhaps aircraft/helicopters. Is there a reel for a ground wire with a big alligator clip on it? If not fuel perhaps some sort of chemical perhaps?

Good to hear from you. Missed stories of your inspiring adventures. Hope all is well or getting there, for you and your family.

Rodent, when you got your title did it indicate it was ex military? if it was a cucv it might describe it as only a Chevrolet of a given year. Check and let us know because I thought the five year collector plates were just for civilian vehicles of the so called antique or horseless carriage...

signed and donated. Thank you for starting this.

Condolences to friends and family. Rest in Peace. Thank you for your service.

It does not sound like the rest of us can count on support from Tennessee I suppose.

I also thought that just working on a better interpretation of the law that was passed might be in most of our own best interests. However, this tactic would require a fairly substantial monetary risk on someones part in going the court route. Not to mention a potential battle that could drag...

I was down to the larimer county office to get new stickers for plates on various vehicles, all non military. While there I decided to ask about plating a military vehicle. The clerk initially did not know anything about new regulations. Pressing her a little more she finally found the memo...

Thanks for posting and the great details. I presume you are in fuel off mode while doing this test so the engine won't actually fire. If you did an actual compression test on at least two cylinders can you create a relative scale of compression values?
