    Deuce Spotted

    I was out and about with the wife Monday and spotted this truck sitting off Diamond Mill Road (cross of Westbrook Road) northwest of Dayton, OH. We stopped but the person who owned it was not the person who lived there. Drop sides with the plow and they said that it had a dump bed on it...

    Commercial Tractor with a Military Trailer

    Thanks for all the responses. My biggest worry was the fifth wheel. I figured the lights wouldn't work. I'll probably hold off until my new barn is in and I get some of my stuff inside. steve

    Commercial Tractor with a Military Trailer

    Here is the trailer or one like it. http://cgi.govliquidation.com/auction/view?id=1741367&convertTo=USD I'm not sure what tractor my hauler has. It's a conventional rig used to haul heavy equipment on a lowboy. thanks steve

    Concealed weapons permit in SC

    Nope, you do not have to be a resident of FL to get their CCW permit. I have one in my pocket right now next to my Ohio permit. Next time you are going past the house to Eaton stop in and I'll show you. :-) I got it over in Preble County and took the training in Springfield. BTW I don't...

    Out and about in M818.

    My two most vivid memories of my Father teaching me how to make a bowline knot and field expedience. Sure looks like that tow bar was right out of the field expedience book. Looks aren't everything otherwise my wife wouldn't have married ME. Good job and nice looking truck. steve

    Calendar: Keep or Axe

    I don't about where this site is hosted but I'm just guessing that mass PMs would be more resource intensive than keeping the calendar. Then again I don't want to wade through a bunch of mass PMs either. steve

    M35A2 from WI to PA

    Three weeks ago (when fuel was so much cheaper) the shipper on the GL site wanted about $1,400 shipping plus $450 to load it and send her 350 miles. I also got a quote from a local guy my Brother uses and he wanted $3.75 a loaded mile, about $1,300. I packed up and we drove down and got it...

    M105 tailgate, "legs?"

    Actually you use a large starting capacitor with a three phase motor and a pushbutton switch mounted in a box that will handle all of it. You start it using the pushbutton and flip the switch and the motor begins spinning. Then you tap the motor (inputs) as outputs and it gives you three...

    Biofuels

    RE: Re: Biofuels Unfortunately something has got to give. There isn't enough land to produce enough oil/gas substitutes to keep us from importing oil at our present rate of consumption in the US. I think that our future may be more like Mad Max than that of Star Trek if we keep going this...

    surveys

    I just got mine. I suspect that the survey will be online at some point in the future. At that point I suggest seeing what it is since it may be to our benefit.

    WISH ME LUCK

    Re: RE: WISH ME LUCK Batteries I also downloaded local Walmarts and Tractor Supplies in the area. That could be expanded out to auto stores as well. I also took pics of Google maps on my phone. Good luck

    pintel hitch question

    I think it depends on where you get them. If you get them from some place like Harbor Freight or Northern Tool you can get them with different bolt hole patterns. That's the main reason I didn't buy one of the adapter plates on line. If you can get one in your hand first measure it. steve

    gettin my deuce

    I just made a pickup and went to Autozone and got whatever they had in a GL5 with MT1 rating AND all the bottles of DOT-5 brake fluid they had. I do not think I would be mixing the two types of brake fluid though.
