I don't see an air shift axle lever on the dash on this truck, you guys pay that much for sprague type trucks down there? I have some that work and some that don't. I have some with REB kits, they all work, still available from Memphis Equip. A good investment in my opinion if you count on all...
As Cranetruck states, .200 is about right for 11:00 20's. >212 is as close as I can get for 14.00R 20's and it leaves a margin of error of 7 mph at indicated50 mph on deuce speedometer vs. the auto following. John Tennis
Members, as bad as we want deuces, I know it's hard to do but please remember, no SF 97's and no title documents mean no plates in NY. And, for what it's worth, all of us bidding on a particular truck because it's just what we want is what's driving up the prices. In 5 years I've watched the...
I'll bwe there, with the Jatonka 4x4 and the "Gull Wing" Shop Set #2 on M44 Utica Bend chassis. I'll have seat covers, fuel filter adaptors, shear pins, light bulbs etc. to suplly the attendees. Looking forward to seeing the other Comvec members, it's a real active show. John Tennis
Hi Nick, I haven't done anything on the oil filter adaptors yet, the excavating business is so busy this year. I am goint to do it but I have to use them for a while before I would let them out in public. I can't make Dayton, but I will be in Hebron, CT this coming weekend, it's a real nice...
Hello S/S members, I am looking for a pair of the headlight assemblies used on the M35A-3 trucks that were upgraded M35A-2s. These headlamp assemblies mount on the fenders where the composite park/signal lamps are on M35A-2s. It allowed for a wider radiator to cool the cat 3116 engine. I am...
Mangus and Emmado, I figure with your miles of driving experience you are going to make the short jaunt over to our Wings,Wheelsans Tracks show this weekend, May 20 and 21. Remember, free admission and a free Sat night dinner to all exhibitors!! Plus it's about time I met some of you guys. Go to...
I agree with Bjorn, as a collector and a contractor using M-series trucks on site, I must admit I pay more for collectible M-series trucks than I do for the deuces and 5 tons I use at work to earn money, might not make sense to all but I love the rare ones. I have an M-44 with couse shop set #2...
Keep it simple, Olds 455 or Jeep 4.0L engine block heater 2.00" frost plug heater. Never had one fail as long as you don't start engine wuith it plugged in. Ant y Napa or Parts + or Advance Auto or Auto Zone, Or me. John Tennis
SF-97s
The new issue of Military Vehicles magazine is in deed where you saw the editors comments about the GL no SF-97 thing. It was brought up in a letter to the editor By the Memphis Equipment Co. Owner. Gl says they are doing it as a test and welcome customer comments about the policy...
Disconnect switch
I will try to take pictures tomorrow and get them on list. You can stop by your NAPA and ask for the keyed master switch from their catalog. It is used on Case dozers also. But they charge about $100 for them. Exact same switch. John T
Maybe a little off topic but, if we set up an area of Steel Soldiers to post our bidders numbers at GL we could check to see who is bidding on items we are interested in and bid accordingly. I would be willing to post my number if the moderators are willing to try this out. and I think we should...
I am making the spin on adaptors for the fuel filters at the present time. They work with your existing filter base and use a readily available commercial spin on filter. The primary one is a water separator also. We have been using them for most of a year in upstate NY and haven't had any...
BUDD wheels
Since approximately 1930, Budd wheels have been left thread on the left and right thread on the right. I don't profess to understand it, it is the way it id. Deuce wheels are Budd wheels,left is left and right is right. Why change what works? JT
GL in NY or PA
There's only a couple in NY and I'm not bidding on anything without SF-97 forms. Too many people think it is no big thing. There are only a handfull of Bill Of Sale States (Meaning those that will register a vehicle on bill of sale only.) Lets get real, we pay too much to be...
