    Thanks for the A.L.I.C.E. packs maddawg308.

    Mike, Here's hoping your fortunes change and allow you to cease selling and commence collecting. You are an asset to this forum, thanks. Rick

    1948-52 willys

    If no specs are available, there are tables on the 'net listing torque specs based on the bolt dimensions and thread pitch. These specs should provide a safe substitute. Good find and congrats! Rick

    U-Joint failure

    Amen brother, I was agape at the mixed/missing parts I found in the front axle of my first deuce. A systematic rebuild of every component after purchase will be my method after this revelation. Rick

    Where to get a MLVW canadian M35?

    There are the usual assortment of online sales sites, like: Kijiji Vancouver Classifieds: Free Local Classified Ads for Vancouver, British Columbia , ebay.ca and more. I use them to locate diesel Land Cruisers that never made it to US shores. An internet search of trucks for the forest industry...

    What do you think?

    bigugh20, My concern (besides price) is item #4, the tires. That is the largest obvious expense right now. All the other stuff can be done with modest parts expense (seals, wheel cylinders and such). The air shift transfer is desirable, however optional at this point. Of course you should be...

    M37 Street Rod

    The shocker in this thread for me is not the MV modification. It's the concept of "Yo soy el Army" I had no idea that type of specific demographic recruiting was being done. The entirety of my MV and military exposure is this forum. Maybe I have missed it but as far as I can remember recruiting...

    5-ton front fender longer than deuce?

    This is just speculation, but maybe the design and geometry of the front steering axle gives the heavier trucks more "sweep" of the knuckle and tire assembly during turns??? Rick

    Wish I had pictures

    It's really great you guys are able to give back something, even something as small as a jump start to our MV brethren. Well done. Rick

    M200A1 recovery / brake question

    If the trailer was loaded, I would agree. However he is recovering it and we will assume it is unloaded. Rick

    ...'new' 1943 White half-track...

    Awesome! Man you sure landed a winner! Say, my eyes could not figure out what the detail in pic number 5 is. Is it a mount for something that spits hot lead? Congrats and thanks for posting, Rick

    I have been wanting a deuce,

    Nice truck there, jwright, and a fair offer. I hope you guys can work something out. Rick

    "Attempted" transmission repair

    What he said, with the exception of offering the challenge of splitting off the gear without nicking the cluster gear in case you choose to save it. Is there room for getting into position to cut the gear with a small die grinder with cut off wheel? Rick

    oil dip stick

    Its about 3/4 the way down the page here: Deuce - Steel Soldiers::Military Vehicles Supersite It has been awhile since I accessed the manuals, but I believe it is the maintenance manuals that provide the part numbers for the deuce. The manuals are a mountain of info, and could be considered...

    oil dip stick

    Hi alanb, I do not have the part number but I know where to find it. Go to the FAQ article at the top of the deuce forum. Scroll down to the technical manuals and there you will find the manuals that give you 100% information on the care and feeding of your deuce! I do not currently have a...

    Question about Converting Garwood to rear facing

    73m819, I have very little experience in PTO applications. The deuce winch PTO has two forward speeds and reverse. If I install the kit that makes the standard deuce front PTO into a front/rear unit, would I still have the same gears available or does the added rear output affect the gears...

    Question about Converting Garwood to rear facing

    Understood. One of the things I am asking this group is if the Garwood can be reassembled in order to have the input pinion reversed. Then it would be possible to mount it in a rear position. Again, I do not have a winch in front of me to reference, so I may be talking about something that...
