Just curious, how many folk here are shopping for a deuce at Smyrna? I'm seriously watching them and will most likely bid on one. I'm hoping the price stays reasonable with 75 trucks at one location.
Please folks, If I'm supposed to be bringing you something, please remind me here. I'm usually pretty good but I have stuff going in a hundred directions so help me out. My memory is not quite up to par either.
Folks, thanks to Gimpyrobb we now have the Austin Western Manual in PDF format. I've uploaded it and as soon as it's approved....wait, I approve these, anyway, it's available for download. It's only like 30 pages so one could easily print it at home. When you go to the TM section look for this...
Folks, is there anyone coming to the GA event on 29 Sept that has any spare poles for the GP Medium? I have one medium I'd like to put up but the lack of poles is restricting me. With luck I'll have my other GP Medium brought down from OH.
Folks, heres what I want you to do. List where you are staying such as Primitive (in the forest), campgrounds or hotel and please list what vehicle you are bringing. I'm going to copy and paste that into the top few posts and delete the rest once I've copied it. This will keep this tight and...
OK, today I swapped out the transfer case in the M275A2. The old one would pop into neutral when you let off the throttle. New one in, works great. Now I have the sprag in the M108. it works OK but I'm really considering swapping it out for an airshift. If I have 2 complete transfer cases as...
Folks, it's listed. My deuce tractor and the semi trailer are in the classifieds. I'll give it a week or so here then on to Ebay. Here's the link.

Folks, if one were restoring a truck that had some heavier pieces with heavy pitting, what would be the different and preferred methods of filling the pits? We're talking 11ga +/-.
I'm in the final stages of getting ready to sell my deuce tractor. It's a screamer and the best running deuce one is likely to find. The M447C trailer is going with it. I'll post as soon as it's ready. The midlife crisis continues.
Who do we have near these locations. I'm looking at a triwall of items at Redstone and I bid on something at Portsmouth that I might get. Both fit in a pickup but the Portsmouth thingy might be a bit heavy. Guessing 1300#.
Anyone want to swap an M342A2 deuce tipper for an M275A2 deuce tractor and M447C expandible trailer? I'm seriously considering this swap if there is any interest.
I need a cargo truck. I'm tired of the relative uselessness of the tractor the way it is. It's such a great running truck I can't bear the thought of selling it. I'm now considering doing some crazy chop work and grafting a deuce bed to it. The overall length of the tractor is 50 inches shorter...
( I split this off of the previous post)
I'm taking this year off but remember next August I'll be at Gravelrama and you guys need to stop by the grounds and visit the camp.
Folks, I have this 10KW gas genset. It was previously running but now looks like it needs a fuel pump and some fuel line. It last ran 2 years ago and was making juice. There is a parts genset that comes with it. The parts genset is just that, parts. It does have a starter that works which...
OK folks bear with me on this. I have this deal cooking on a jeep. Can anyone see a problem in me adapting an m151A2 harness to this CJ5? I know about the foot starter and the like. The Jeep will probably remain 12V but will get composite lights and the such. Only way I could switch it to 28V...
Folks, was just pondering the possibility of using a solenoid or cable operated ball or knife valve for the deuce bellhousing instead of crawling under and moving the plug from the storage boss to the hole. Any thoughts?
