Folks with tippers, got a few questions fer ya! Today after hours of intensiive labor (OK, 5 minutes maybe) I was able to light the old M59. Of course I didn't even bother trying to move it under it's own power, I was more interested in that dump bed. Pushed the clutch in, moved the dump...
Folks, Just got a report from Cabell Garbee. His leg of the southern serial is having some mechanical issues. Brandons Deuce pitched a fan and tore up a radiator and Cabell's 5 tonner is having altenator issues. they are turning back to do some repairs and won't make Doswell tonight. They will...
That's right happy campers. Since one deuce is never enough, I had to have 2....M59s that is. Still haven't got the first one home and then comes this! Captain is on his way to MN to get the yellow one, now what to do with the blue one!

Just spied this here at Port Everglades. We are in the closing hours of fleet week and some odd stuff is popping up. This one was by far the most unique. This is not a test vehicle but an actual issued vehicle. Sorry, couldn't do much more for pics, I'm here in a professional capacity.
Folks, I need some eyes and ears out there for a few odd parts. Firstly I need a fuel tank. One from an M47, M59 or M275 (M275A2). Could also be had from the M57, M58 and M58A2 chassis trucks. I am also in search for the spare tire assy and tool box from either an M47, M59, M342 (M342A2)...
Folks, as some of you know, I'm pretty proud of my Peltor Powercoms. The Powercom is a noise reducing headset with built in radio, in this case an FRS radio. The newest ones have GMRS channels which means 8 additional channels. On low power they work great as intercoms and can even be used...
Today whilst traveling north on the FL Turnpike at the Broward/ Palm Beach County line I observed a deuce running SB solo. Paint was a lighter version of NATO but had a nice looking 3 color, one piece cover on the back. Sorry, no pics, I was going NB at an enhanced rate of travel.
Folks, I have the aforementioned M101A1. In a game of chance I now have the -A2 axle. Is swapping to the surge coupler just a matter of unbolting the cast piece holding the lunette and bolting on the replacement piece? Headed to Ebay (Austin Weber) to see what he has listed.
Folks, I recently picked up the listed manual on Evilbay. It's a 1955 original in near perfect condition. I have collected many manuals over the years but this one somehow eluded me. Well I finally have it and it was worth every penny and more ($75). This thing goes as far as telling you...
Folks that own G-742 gasser deuces, I'd like to know what kind of fuel mileage you are getting. I'm really looking for actual facts from the horses mouth. Not really interested in hearing about the neighbors brothers, 3rd cousin in Guatemala getting 24 MPG on his gasser M35 with 60" rice and...
Folks, since the acquisition of the M59 tipper, I find myself in the need for some oddball stuff. Gonna need a fuel tank from an M275A2 tractor since finding one from another M59 or M275 gasser would be like finding Hoffa. :roll: Also if anyone has any knowledge of a scrap M342 or the like, I...
Well folks, I was lucky enough to score an M59 dump truck on Ebay. Not perfect but savable. Now comes the long expensive task of moving it to parts south.
A few of the Ebay pics.
Folks, like the idiot I am, I just bid an won a deuce in Chisolm MN. The seller has alotted me 30 days to remove said deuce. Arranging shipping for such a great distance is going to take some time to get a rate that I can almost afford. Is there anyone in the area that could store this thing...
Folks,
Is there anyone that might be able to move and store a deuce from GSA on Monday or thereaouts? Truck is paid for just need to get it from the forestry dude and sit on it for a week or two. Lemme Know and sorry for short notice.
Folks, on the way back from the GA Rally I scooped up an M101A1. Nice trailer complete with racks but rotten wood. What would be a good choice for lumber to use for these that should be available locally? I have access to a planer to get them to the correct dimensions. Wished I had access to...
OK folks, the thread starts here. Still at the rally and finally found my camera. A few pics of the first two folks to arrive, Poppop and myself. Poppop towed an M35A2 with his M813 and I managed to drag BKubu's nice M109A3 shopvan up from Camilla GA. The trailride from tonight was a hoot...
Folks, I'm looking to see if anyone is going through this area or going to Ft McCoy from the LP. 98HD has a tailgate and maybe a PS box I need. This stuff is cost prohibitive to ship and was checking to see if anyone could get it to ccatlett1984. If not I'll be going without.
Thanks folks
