If you are throwing in a hot wife with the purchase of your truck then you need to have more detailed pictures of what you are offering :wink:

Listen to RWbrown72 and Gimpyrobb, they know what they are talking about. Like RWbrown said, find a local person that has one and help them with some maintenance. That alone might change your mind on getting one. The care and maintenance on these trucks are tremendous. Lets say you do buy one...

How to post pictures: Volume 1 of 53: Hello and welcome to the Steel Soldiers Frequently Asked Questions or SS FAQ section. This section has many wildly exciting and intriguing areas covered. So buckle your safety belt and get ready for the heart pounding, adrenaline injecting knowledge ride...

$4100 sounds like a great deal to me. I think a good condition winch truck should be around $6000+. Don't get discouraged! The economy sucks right now. Sit on it if you can until it gets better. Look at what you are offering compared to other trucks in that price range. Now a days it seems like...

UPDATE! After receiving parts from an awesome fellow forum member ( gimpyrob ), I got to work on the motor. It ended up being only a bad rocker. From the looks of it, the metal itself looked like it wasn't made well and cracked and broke. I didn't have any bent pushrods ( which I figured I...

sweet! Sending you a pm.

Ok I need help. After searching for 2 hours, and pulling my hair out in frustration, I believe I managed to find the stupid part numbers for the rocker arm, spring, and push rod. My problem now is, I can't find anyone that has these parts for sale. Does anyone know of a engine parts website that...

I would check with your state laws first. Check to see what the conditions are for a farm truck. I have no doubt that you can get it licensed as a farm vehicle but farm vehicles have some strict rules they have to follow. In Oregon, I was looking into getting my M35 licensed as a farm vehicle...

Update: I had some spare time and decided to pop the valve cover off the engine. I found a snapped rocker arm. It appears the spring that keeps the rocker arm in position horizontally was weak and didn't do its job. The valve pushed back up while the rocker arm was tweaked and twisted and...

My deuce was in the 4th of July parade and ran fine with no over heating issues or nothing like that. Right after the parade I get some loss of power and a loud thumping noise coming from the passenger side of the motor. It sounds like a huge exhaust leak but only when one of the cylinders are...

No problem! We all need help at one time or another with this hobby and this is a great place to get it. Good luck and I hope the zerk fixes your problem like it did mine. Oh and grab a flashlight, you will need it. After you take that inspection plate off the bottom of the tranny, that shaft is...

Gear grinding noise or a weird kind loud grinding howl noise? Have you taken the inspection plate off the bottom of the transmission and greased that zerk on the throw out bearing shaft? Mine made a crazy sound when I pushed the clutch in and out. I greased that zerk and fixed the problem.

Weird... the bidding was at $5,200 but now it dropped back down to $1,025.

Wha? You didn't like my impression of them?

So I went to go get the starter tested because it was already out of the truck. The starter checks out great. Went and look for the stupid cable that ruined my battery and wasted 2 hrs of my life pulling the starter out. Well I found it. It was the " dog bone " cable that connects the 2...
