Looking for a deuce tractor - Steel Soldiers::Military Vehicles Supersite

I'm on the hunt for a deuce tractor somewhere on the west side of the country, anyone know where one is?

Next question is, once I find one, what should I look for outside of the normal deuce stuff?

Since it's a tractor, do you need a CDL to move it around (without a trailer) or would I be ok without one?

Any other tips, tricks, or advice?

Thanks
Joe

Shoot. you're in the wrong side of the country. I don't know if its still there, but there was a Deuce tractor I drove by in the western part of Columbia County, New York, this summer. I think it was 10 minutes up 9H or 9G from Dutchess County. All I know is that it was at some parking lot, looked like a farmers market, and I was on my way from Rhinebeck to Olana, but didn't think to stop and look.. (Frederic Church's Home, a phenomenal sight.)

Deuce tractors are scarce. Best thing is buy a Deuce and take bed off and add 5ft wheel and add accs. Supply and demand!! good luck Phil

Phil , theres one in Fl on ebay a while back , get a M818 they are easy to get and alot more fun and comfortable to drive , and still no CDL when driving.

There are plenty of M818s out there which are a little newer and 5 tons why not look for one of those instead?

do you have to have cdl for 2.5 ton duece tractor with the std flatbed type trailer you can pull with them ?

The deuce tractor on Ebay was mine. It's already sold!

This might be a stupid question but could he be referring to a 5 ton tractor?????

I looked at a m275a1? That was for sale in Nebraska last summer. It had no title then but the guy called me later and said he had gotten a nebraska title for it. It has a heater, nonturbo multifuel no airshift front end,no winch, incorrect fifth wheel, correct fuel tank, air hoses missing, hardtop, runs and stops, no significant rust, correct correct frame. I will find his phone this weekend.

If you like the multi-fuel engine that's in the deuce, but want a tractor too, then the M52 is the truck for you!

With all of the M818s on GL right now, it's elementary.

(I'm really trying to talk myself into getting one!)
