Anyone have a TM reference as to the mounting dimensions of the convoy light poles or where the mounting holes for the u-bolts should be made? TIA Martin.

Hi All, I am looking at driving my newly aquired truck which is currently located on the Outer Banks, NC back to Boston, MA. This was a privately owned truck (originally from GL) but is driven regularly so there is an element of comfort knowing it's a running truck. That said it's about...

Found this on CL down on the Outer Banks, NC Price was right, now to get it back to Boston, MA. I may well drive it back, let's see what U-Ship and others have to offer.

I hear the groans already – “Not another CDL thread!". Yes I live in MA and would like a 5 Ton BUT do I need a CDL? There are many posts on the subject BUT every state is different and I really could not find a definitive one for us MA guys. The web is a wonderful thing and in short order I...

Hi, Did anyone take a look at the 5 Ton's on GL in Ayer, MA. I was going out to to take a look as I am local but never made it. Was thinking of bidding, but site unseen is all a bit scarey! Cheers, Martin.

Looking to get an idea of the cost to get 2 X Deuces from Chicago area to Boston area. Here are the trucks in question.

I made an impulse purchase on ebay and it arrived today, Winter Cover for the truck. What suprised me was the stinky muli-layer paper wrapped around the whole thing but what shocked me was the lable on the package, said it was Pkd: 2/55, you can just make it out in the second picture, can...

I need to add some OHT to the Airpak but the new shorter style has no plug to facilitae this. Should I disconnect the airline at the Airpak and add there or where?

My truck came with a 5 Ton non-operational winch, pump etc was never fitted. I want to remove the beast and fit the correct winch. I have the PTO but no drive shaft. Looking at the pictures, is this a 5 Ton bumper or messed up 2.5 Ton? Other than the correct winch and drive shaft, any guess...

As I work over my new-to-me Deuce, I find things to sort out. When replacing the air cleaner element, I noticed what I now know as a broken and bypassed Magnetic Start Relay (MSR). Using the information found on SS, I realized that the start button was switching a much larger load than ever...

Only had the Deuce for a few weeks but have been busy sorting out a few issues and general PM work. 1. Had the 11.00 X 20 XL's mounted on the rear axels 2. Had quite a few loose fasteners on the axels, torque back to spec. 3. Found missing clutch inspection cover, will be making one from a new...

Well, the Deuce is in the driveway after a short 70 mile recovery. I must admit given this came from fellow SS member MassM35A2, was regularly driven and maintained with loving care, the use of the word 'recovery' seems somewhat unfair given the lengths others have to get their purchases home. I...

Having got the insurance sorted and all the required paperwork in hand off I went to the good old MA RMV. Very short wait and there I was giving the lovely lady all the said paperwork. Things proceeded to plan until in typing the data from the RMV-1 form into the computer, "10 wheels, just what...
