Glad to hear & see that you got home safely & that traffic was not a major problem. In a month or so, I am going to have to go thru the front end of a 1985 Deuce straight out of the Air Force because it has issues that you can see from the outside. Having a repeat of your problem is not...

You have to work your way thru the issues & then you will have a fine truck to drive around causing people to ask you, "Why do you have that thing." Good luck with Max.

I bypassed the FDC in the '85 Deuce yesterday, but have not had a chance to drive it due to the missing HH parts that were broken. Floridianson suggested it since all of the injector lines were removed & it was just a matter of removing some fittings & lines &plugging them & lengthening the...

Anybody that has HH parts, let me know, as the Deuce with a LDT 465 engine I got from GP last September, needs a spring, the retainer & a button to get her back on the road. Thanks.

Start a couple of hours before sunset & drive thru the night. I did that on my first recovery in May from Blue Ridge, Georgia to Gainesville, Florida & it wasn't so bad, unless you have night blindness & hate the headlights of oncoming traffic. That was a 430 mile trip on a truck right out of...

With the help of Floridianson, I pulled off the hydraulic lines & HH head to find that the spring & keeper were broken. The button was a bit beatup too from whatever happened. Now I need to find replacements for these items to get the truck back on the road. While all the parts were removed, the...

James came to Gainesville today to help me pull the hydraulic head on the Deuce I got from GP last September (2017). Thanks to his knowledge, it was a breeze to get it all apart & discover the reason that it would not run was the spring under the head was broken in two pieces & the keeper was...

The generac 15K unit is mostly for construction site work. I bought two of them many years ago & one went to work to supply whatever was needed during operations. It worked fine until it was hooked up to the Plant IT UPS system. The dirty power coming out of it fried half the battery backup...

I third the motion of "Call an electrician". Mobile homes & houses use single phase power, you are trying to get all the power out of a three phase generator by combining the phases, it won't end pretty. You can use three phase in your shop if your equipment is three phase & your wiring is three...

The only way I have found covers for the M105a2 is to buy a trailer from GP which sort of defeats the purpose. My last two trailers came with new covers, one of which was still in the manufacturers shipping package. Never saw one like that before.

I have an unopened crate of a M35a2 tan cover with bows, staves & hardware - $500.00. Another crate of the MTVR towbar with all accessories, pins, feet, electrical connector, air lines, etc. to fit just about anything in the current & older inventory $500.00 OBO. Ammo cans, hardigg cases, 81 &...

I unloaded a 450 lb fuel filter & pressure washed all the algae out & off of one of my M1102 trailers to free it up for use in bring home pallets from GP. Even though there was a tarp over most of the trailer, the bed was full of cedar needles & 3 years worth of growth of algae, that stuff grow...

James, hold onto one of your 5 ton covers for me, I need one for another trailer.

The air filter cover comes with the location painted on the left side, but if soldier "B" has painted over it, you have to know as you do now where it is.

You want to drive that truck back to Maryland? That might not be a great idea unless you have a knowledgeable mechanic go thru the hubs, driveshafts, transmission, engine & other essential equipment needed to power the truck that long without Murphy tagging a ride. Brakes are another issue as...

GL used to occasionally auction off tent repair kits in wooden crates. The crates contained needles, thread, grommets, installation tools, multiple types of materials to make the repairs with & other odds & ends. There was no glue IIRC, but you could supply that from external sources to effect...

If you are looking for standard 24v sealed beam lamps, go to your local NAPA store & they usually stock them.

Welcome aboard, you have come to the right place to ask questions & learn. What part of Florida are you from?

Another welcome from Florida, go with the 5 ton as folks here recommend, you will have more fun & never regret it.

Looks good, I picked up one last year, but is still in the box it came in. Seems I forgot I bought it and left it in the truck in the cargo area. Might want to go unpack it for grins.
