Thanks for all the help Chris. I appreciate it.

Thanks for that link. According to the info on there it is an early 1971 build. Not sure where the 1978 on the title comes from. I will try to change it when I title it in my name if it isn't too big a hassle. If so it will remain a 1978 M275a2 forever. :beer: Went back out there today to try...

Thanks I will. I think I prefer the soft top. Will probably source one and swap the hard top. Also thinking I might super single. I think it would really look cool singled out. If I can find the tires and rims cheaply. Thank you.

It does.

As far as I can tell , yes.

It is a turbo motor. Forgot to mention that. I think I did get a very good deal on it. Right at 165.00 a ton.

Ok, I went and done it now! I ended up buying the deuce today. Title says it is a 1978. Data plate on dash says it is a Kaiser Jeep M275-A2 wo/wn. Another data plate on the dash says fuel capacity per Federal Spec. VV f 800 is 110 gallons. Truck runs but does have the trans. problem so will...

Sent a pm to you. thanks

Yes, that is how it is configured. Thanks for the pics.

cool thanks for all the info. In your opinion what would be a good price point for one such as this? I know pics would help, but owner was anxious to get back to work.

It is only a 45 gallon tank?

Yes, I am aware of the much shorter wheelbase and that is a plus. I have been looking for a candidate to bob, but like the rare factor of the tractor and would prefer to return it to a tractor. I see a lot more regular deuces as opposed ti the "tractors". Any leads to a trans. or a truck...

The tank on this one is twice as long as a normal fuel tank. It looks as if maybe 2 might have been put together to make 1 large tank, only has 1 fill port on top though and doesn't look as if a hole was patched. Were they ever issued with a larger fuel tank or could this be a one off fuel tank?

Ok, I figured they would be too large.

Would the ramps be the same as on a 5 ton? The fenders I believe I could use aftermarket until I find the right ones.

Ok as you can tell from my join date and post count I don't post much and I apologize if these questions are covered elsewhere, but my search-fu has come up with nothing to answer them. I have a chance at an M275 with a bad 2nd-3rd gear set in the transmission and I need "guru tutelage"...

I don't post much on here (more lurking than anything), but I just read your whole thread and wanted to say this is a cool project and I can't wait to see the finished product.
