    Advice from the Experts, M51A2. Wife says "No" I s

    I know there are a lot of you guys here in the Deuce forum that are knowledgable about the M51A2. I am looking at a 1967 M51A2 Dump Truck with a huge 10' plow. It has a Continental and has a rebuild tag in 1989. What do you think would be a reasonable price to pay for one of these trucks. I...

    Winch Disaster! Three Donkeyss hard at Work!

    Fortunately, nobody was hurt, but I can certainly see how that could easily happen. After that last incident I have been studying the operators manual very closely. I have a new respect for this truck and its equipment. Once the winch is back in operation we have both agreed to get trained by...

    Winch Disaster! Three Donkeyss hard at Work!

    Another mini-disaster with Northwoods and Ostrich911 attempting to assist a friend in need. Our friend decided to go 4-wheeling behind his house and got his 4x4 pickup stuck in the mud. We have had about 15 inches of rain up here since July 4th. We take my truck with the winch that Northwoods...

    Parts Cross Reference

    Hello- I am a newbie to this forum, my friend and I just picked up two M35's last week. We used the cross-reference list to pick up parts at NAPA, but we have a problem with the oil filter gaskets. Our M35's have Hercules motors and we used the NAPA #1133 which appear to be the correct filter...
