    INFO ON Deuce tractor

    INFO ON Deuce tractor

    INFO ON Deuce tractor

    Looking for info on what is listed as an M275, 2/5 ton tractor, multi-fuel. Just picked up a electronics van semi-trailer and need something to tow it with. Anyone with experience with these? I don't think these are very common trucks.

    We are talking MEMORIAL DAY next May, right? That'll be the weekend of 25-28 MAY, 2007. I'll put it on the calendar. That'll be between the Fort Custer ride and the Antiques Festival at Midland. Somehow, I'm missing about 7 of the 15 posts on this thread and missed something important, I...

    M880 project update / Tailgating

    What I want to know is how long you've been neighbors without noticing each other's trucks? Sometimes things just work right.

    show in midland, MI in June who wants to convoy??

    for Forklift: There may be some stuff as part of the auto swap meet that's part of the festival. There are also some antique dealers that might have militaria. There'll be more stuff at the Clare Great Lakes MVPA Show/Swap Meet in August.
