I have a question about how to properly drive a manual. I was thinking back to when I moved my deuce tractor, M275, and I had problems where every time I up shifted, the transfer lever would pop out of gear so I had to follow steps like: push clutch, pull out of gear, put into next gear, hold...

When I read the story the first thing that popped into my mind was, why was a new driver letting the teacher stand outside AND having people in the back? If I was the student, I would have stayed on the flat ground if I had to have people riding with me. I would never had even tried to go up a...

Saw it on Ebay. Looks kind of like a big old mail truck to me. Weird looking but neat. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150120766020&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:middle:us

The one on Ebay might not be a M275. I am suspicious because it has a bed on it and the pics are so small you can't really see anything. If I were you, I would modify your M35. It sounds in great shape so you wouldn't have to worry about fixing up another truck that might have hidden problems...

I had that problem on my 83' Chevy 4x4. The tire went bad sitting in storage and blow out. When I tried to take it off, I couldn't get the nuts loose. I tried heating it but I only had a small map torch and it was a little windy so that didn't help much. I ended up using a 1" breaker bar and my...

Thanks for the info guys. I tried looking around on the web and found some other trucks in about this same age and found they were anywhere from $500 - $3000 depending on how good a shape they are in. The only photo I have of it is from the sellers ad on ebay for a pickup he was selling and I...

Oops, I didn't make myself clear. The seller said his truck is a 1942 gmc with an automatic. My truck is a 1953 reo with a 5 speed manual.

I found an early deuce right here in my town. I haven't looked at it yet but I was told that it was running and driving in use as a fire water truck. The water tank was removed when this seller got it and had it towed from Wisconsin to Iowa with it's drive shaft removed. He said the battery...

Hay BFR, I am just checking to see if you have gotten time yet to get the parts I wanted off the truck. I had sent you a PM a while ago but I haven't heard anything in a while so I figured I would post here incase you didn't get the PM. Have a good one.

I have an old Reo. I might be interested in some parts. Does anything off a M45 fit a M275 ?? I can't find a picture of a M45 online so I am not sure if they are the same type of truck or not. The only thing I could find out between the 2 is: M45 Chassis, truck, REO AO331, 2 1/2-ton, 6 X 6, 9:00...

I've got a 2.5 ton tractor :mrgreen: but it's not multi-fuel :( only a stright 6 cyl gas. Recovry4x4 has a wealth of knowledge about the tractors.

:shock: I saw this 8x8 on the highway 2 days ago. Lucky I had my camara with me and I saw it in time. (I was 1/4 mile from my off ramp when I saw it) I followed it a little ways and took some pics of it. What is it? I can not figure out what is on the back end. I wish I had those tires on my...

I just got a chance to get online sence the 4th. I made some noise again this year.:mrgreen: I have to do something to make noise around the 4th. I didn't shoot my black powder cannons so I set up my US Army Tank Gunfire Simulator cannon in the back of my truck and fired off some rounds. I...

That is what I was thinking of painting my truck when I get around to it. I think green without the camo looks better. Nice job. [thumbzup]

Looks good. :mrgreen: I wish I had a 10 ton. The bigger the better.

:shock: :shock: :drool: That would be soo sweet to have. It would go great with my 53' Reo. :mrgreen:

:drool: :drool: :drool: I would love to get a regular deuce. I got my semi because I couldn't find a troop type and figured later I could get one. Probably will not have any money when they get listed though. :( aua

:ditto: :mrgreen:

I seem to have had a tuff time searching the web for a place that sells the regulators. I was looking for transistor: 2N5631, 140 V / 16 Amp that Cranetruck listing in the post he linked me to. I tried ebay just to see if there was any listed and found a seller with a pack of 10 for $15 +...

Hay DR. Good to hear you post an update. [The TD-6 is chained down solidly and I did fall through the boards once at Howard's. It's a wonder I didn't break anything. Heck I didn't even get a scratch! However, the broken wood was almost fun to pick up.] WOW. :shock: I'm glad you are ok. Were...
