Does anybody know exactly what these trucks were issued in the field for tools? I have never even seen a pic of a military jack for the deuces or any other tools that would have been issued with the trucks. I wonder what happoned to the thousands of tools that were on these trucks, since nobody seems to have them and I have never even seen a pic of any original tools for the deuce? I was reading the manual and they had a safety bar that ran through the tires when you changed them to prevent the ring from blowing off. It looks like 1" solid shaft that's bent to fit through the holes in the rim? Anyone seen or think something like that could work? I know split rims can blow off with amazing power, but these tires only take about 55psi, and all the stories I hear about they were airing up the tires way above that?

Don't know about the M135 ("early deuces"), but the TM 9-2320-361-10 for the "New deuces" has a section listing and showing pictures of the Basic Issue Items (BII) including the 8-ton hydraulic jack.

Deuceman,

Don't know about the bar, but I did hear of it,,,Kevin Emdee sells the pioneer tools for our duece...Also, I was given a definition of our rims by the tire guy who removed and replaced all my tires.. We do not have split rims, split rims are in two pieces, and he showed me one. The ring on our rims is a locking ring..just a input.
