Well, it seems that I've reached that point. Having 2 deuces and no ability to haul anything big or heavy has got me thinking. To start with I went the other day and picked up 3 pallets of pavers for the neighbor. I loaded them with the wrecker and transported them on the M103A3. Could only...

Before everybody posts the Where's the pics thingy, I have none. Today the little guy and I went to JAX to pick up a winch. Made the trek without problems and loaded the winch in the back of my pickup. The 5 ton truck winches are pretty big compared to the bed of a truck. Anyway while...

Gang, does anyone know who makes the D turbo? I have a Schwitzer that doesn't have the 3LG319 marks on it. Dunno which turbo it is. If Schwitzer made the D turbos maybe its a D. Anyone? Kenny

Check this out!

Well gang, got me a Sunday radiator earlier in the week. Sunday meaning its a very Holy radiator. It's got more leaks than a submarine with screen doors. It will hold s suitable amount of water for over an hour so that means I can have a little fun. I fixed what I could and tried the "Bars Leak"...

Well, I had my hands in on the sale of a deuce today! One of our newest members (hasn't even received his password yet) emailed me looking for a deuce. He just happens to be local. At first I told him I'd let him know if I founf anything then I remembered my old deuce. I checked the website at...

I'm often amazed at the ingenuity of folks and their old school busses. I've seen them as campers, car/truck/tractor haulers, hay haulers, storage sheds, snake busses and countless other conversions. Busses seem to fall into the hands of the guys with Champaign taste on a beer budget so he...

I was lacking a lower radiator hose for the wrecker so I decided to investigate some of the numbers I've heard. Checked out Mark Blairs interchange page and he listed the lower hose as a Dayco 70689. Devilman96 listed the Gates 20611. The Dayco 70689 crossed to the Gates 20557. the Gates 20611...

I was just scrolling through some pics and if you look at this one, you see lots of things. This pic was taken last winter when Bjorn visited me here in FL. The first thing you notice is Bjorns crane at full extension. Also visible are the deuce tractor, the tan cargo trailer and the back of the...

I would give a big dissertation but just look at the pics! The back half of the pipeline truck is on its way to the chipper now! WooHoo!

Gang, I've completed the uploads of the deuce 209-20 manauls to the site. Working on the 209-34 stuff but won't get that done this morning. This will be ongoing but there's a whole lot more stuff I'll be posting in the immediate future so just be patient with me.

This could be really bad for me. There is an M118A1 semi trailer there. Would like to have an idea of how it looks. They aren't worth jack in the civilian market but who knows here. Next, anyone have a tractor that could snatch it and store it till Aug? I know I'm asking alot here but they are...

or at least part of it! Rice and myself might have stumbled on to something with the VIN numbers and mfrs. I need to take a look and a number of VINs to see if there's a pattern. What I'm interested in is the last 9 numbers in the VIN and of those only the first 4. Example; 0524-10045. I'm...

Is there any way to determine who the gallerys belong to? Some are obvious but some say such as "My Trucks" Some of these folks I would like to contact but don't know who they are!

Tonight after work I went over to my buddies shop to do a little scrounging for the wrecker project. I did well, was able to skate off with a really nice tach cable, mounting legs for same, firewall grommet for same, nice glove compartment door (replace the one I lost in the yard), nice glove...

I was thinking the other day about how I jump into things. Over the years I've dabbled in many a different MV. It wasn't until around 2000 that I really started concentrating on deuces. I had big dreams and little change. I bought a 1952 M275 gasser from Dave Newman for $750. Took me a few...

Tire Swing!
