    M59 speed issue.

    The gasser deuces were rated at 60 MPH in 5th gear. You probably have a fuel problem. As long as the truck was empty, you should have been able to do at least 50-55 MPH. Be sure gas is fresh, using non ethanol only or you will be rebuilding the mechanical fuel pump VERY soon and most assuredly...

    Wrecker I.D. Help Please???? M62 or M543 maybe???

    M62s had a hyd tank at the back of the cab. M543s have hyd tank mounted on the rotating upper house. That truck is an M543. Air cleaner mount only signifies gas 6602 or multifuel LDS 465 1A. Many M62s were up graded to multifuel engines. You either have an M543A2 multi or an M543A1 Mack. JT

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Kind of looks like a John Deere "G" pulling a "14T" baler. Or close. I used to run both at 16 years old, which was exactly 50 years ago . JT

    Comvec show was great as always. Impressed with the many different types of vehicles. The two halftracks giving rides was a high point!! The Calendar is super, and the Calendar Girls were there to give them out. The older members really got moving around pretty fast, a lot of grass beat down...

    M35A2 Garwood 10k Winch issue

    You do know that there is a shear pin where the PTO shaft couples to the input shaft of the winch, Right? Next trouble can be a gunked up engagement linkage where you throw the clutch lever on the right rear of the winch. I had a winch that I thought was broken internally, took it apart and...

    bobbed 5ton costs

    My 923 4x4 uses a 12' deuce bed and really matches up nicely in proportion to the whole truck. There's a pic on the front page of my website. PM with questions or comments.

    m35 a1 a2 and a3

    what is this? probably my best advice is buy an M35A2. M35 gassers have fallen out of popularity due to poor economy. M35A1 uses the original 427 Hypercycle Multi-fuel engine with more horse power and a lot more smoke. M35A2 is a little less power and cleaner burning. the M35A3 is a mongrel...

    I Just purchased an 86 M923A1 and have questions.

    the hubs on the 900 series 5 ton can't be flipped, the brake drums won't cover the brake shoes. You need 5 ton combat wheels, they have the offset to be able to track properly. in on the front and out on the rear. I spent a whole day trying to figure how to flip the hubs after having done at...
