Some of my inspiration videos Running engine Older chassis, but close enough

Great story! Other's have commented on our good luck for having manuals in these trucks. Your story helps me understand why. We've spent a fair amount of time in a potato trucks over the years too. Never bent any booms, but came close a time or two. Something for sale? Sure send me the...

You guys do amazing work! I've started reading through the threads you guys have going. Wow! That is some amazing work you all are doing. I'm just an amateur wrench turner and the stuff I'm doing is pretty basic, but I like it! Thanks for all the good threads! Jack

Thanks for the info on the small block. Not going out to trucks today, I'll get you those pics tomorrow.

We understand that, we've seen some slippery harvests here too. Those are great pics of your good old tractor. But I thought Old Faithful was over by us . . .

Glad you enjoyed the mountains, those are the Tetons, been looking at them for over 35 years and still enjoy it every time I look in that direction. I've been spending what time I have working towards getting the m220 w/ the free engine, m220 #1, running. We're almost ready to try it. Plus...

PM sent.

Plows My son-in-law remembers that these two plows, one sweep, one v, were used with Boyce 1. The mount is still on the front of the truck, not sure if all the other mounting hardware is still around.

I'm looking forward to feeling that first hand!

I'm thinking that because we know that it was driven to it's current location and has been stored inside the potato cellar, it should be fairly easy to get running. Shall we drive it to your place or would you like to come pick it up yourself? :wink: We'll even clean off all the pigeon poop! :-D

In my "Trying to get two M220's started . . ." thread, I mentioned that there were also two Boyce trucks on the place. Here are some pics and info on them. I'm calling the complete truck Boyce 1, the partial truck is Boyce 2. Both these trucks have V-8 gas engines. They have...

Got a reply this morning to the email I sent to Boyce in Ogden last week. The tech who replied, Brett, said that our trucks looked like some of the ones their company did. He identified the transmissions as V205 Clark. He said Boyce no longer has any documentation on these trucks, but that...

Thanks for that info, they were right where you said they'd be. "M220" followed by the three digit serial number from the data plate. No letters. The delivery dates on these two trucks are Jan '54 and Mar '54, so they must have been made before the switch to the letter system.

Ditto! :lol: The truth is, I've been real happy with my old Jeeps and even though we've been on some rides with some of the larger trucks from the Idaho MVPA group, I hadn't really considered owning one. But, I think I've been bitten hard. As I mentioned earlier, they are my son-in-laws...

Yes, I've been meaning to find out how to do that. On other forums I've used the pictures post when I add the link. This one is different. I'll do some reading and find out what I have to do differently. Jack

Thanks for that! I've wondered about the serial number, seemed that there must be more to it. Good timing on the answer too, because we're going to start searching through the files his dad left him and see if we can find titles. If there are none, we're going to have to go through that...

Thanks for asking the question about the serial number. Yes, the number on the plate is 71 (space) 1. The fact that there is a space between the "71" and the "1" makes me wonder if it is some kind of a code that tells us something about where or when it was built? Or is it just a sequential...

Boyce Equipment I've sent an email and some pictures to Boyce Equipment of Ogden, Utah, asking if they can tell me whether or not these trucks were converted at their shop. I also inquired about parts. Their website said that replies take several days, so I'm hoping to hear back from them by...

We spent yesterday fixing fence on some summer pasture getting ready for a load of cows coming in today, so no progress on the trucks. Here's a picture from the front seat of my A1. Conant Creek canyon, Tetons in the distance. plowboy - No CDN on the data plates, here's a picture of the...

Clutch system? The clutch system on these trucks consists of two cylinders, one mounted on the outside of the frame underneath the drivers door and one mounted to the bell housing. The clutch pedal is attached to the frame mounted cylinder and a steel line runs from it to the one mounted on...
