Unless you're plowing big straight stretches of road the deuce would not be a good choice due to turn radius.

Your arms would be tired for sure if you didn't have PS.

DH has the links I was referring to in my post.

Oh boy. There was a thread about the exact video you are describing GTO and in that thread it was pointed to another thread what happens when you do. Short answer (per the TM) is that the trailer was not designed to be used as a dump trailer.

Short answer no, were some plows modified to fit on deuces Yes, but not specificaly made by the govt.

There is a lot of metal to break for those tracks to fail. Its more secure than you would think.

Bringing your deuce this time Kenny?

Perfectly legal gunboy

Crossing chains and having un-crossed chains will both (if done properly) prevent side to side movement. Only difference is with crossed chains you are trying to pull the load to the center of the trailer; with un-crossed the load is getting pulling to the outside of the trailer.

My dad is an OTR trucker and uses the screw type due to it being easier on his body than the cam over type. Plus the screw type can be tightened down/adjusted much easier than the cam type. I've used both and prefer the screw type. The downfall with the screw type is if you have it going over...

Big thing to remember on tying a load down is to use opposing pulls with the chains. For example, you're hauling a deuce on a flatbed trailer. You have the front chains (crossed or not, doesn't matter in this example) pulling the deuce towards the front of the trailer like you should. Then you...

Three cases of Rapco paint with no issues to complain of. Yes you get the little bit of dribble down the front of the can but nothing I'm going to complain about. I use one of the pistol grip adapters for spray can and that makes painting with the cans a lot easier. Also makes it a lot easier...

This look like it?

Sounds like a M26 Pacific from what you describe with the chain drive. Not many of those left.

Keep an eye on the trannies, I know of a batch of 60 that had about 30 - 40 of them needing the trannies reworked due to oil leaks. Some had under 100 miles on them.

Need to tell Scott to block his driveway so you can't get in. :D

Lot of them coming out of the west coast as well. Believe from Portland.

Been covered many times in other threads. The FDC does not make the engine the multifuel, it only makes it so that different fuels burn at the same power level.

I know a guy who used a deuce air pack on a 5 ton and it bolted right up. Air chamber on it was a little smaller but other than that he had no issues putting it on. Don't know why a 5 ton pack wouldn't do the same, maybe something would interfer with the bigger air chamber.

I've driven them, pretty nice compared to the older trucks.
