Bought an M275A1 Today

[Desert Deuce]

I bought a Deuce Tractor today in the White Mountains in AZ. $2500, LDT-465, no rust, decent paint 1992 CARC green, 2 springer seats, 4000 miles, engine is a Tooele Rebuild 1984, I won't have Pics until this weekend. Data plate says M275A1, title says it's a "67".

The brakes go to the floor.

It needs a new driver side rear fender.

It comes with a spare LDT-465 with a rod through the engine, all other appliances look good.

Is $2500 a good price?

I haven't seen many of these, I know Kenny has an M275A2. Are these tractors rare?

Does anyone have a medium tow bar for sale?

I hope to use this instead of the conversion dolly

Congrats Kevin! I know Kenny loves his tractor, small enough to take to the store every so often.
$2,500 sounds like a great deal. I'm sure he will want to compare notes.

Congrats. Sounds like you got a great deal for a running M275A1, even if it needs some brake work. Brake parts are cheap compared to driveline stuff!

Yeah! When you get that bird home, take some pics, especially on that data plate. I have an old book, TM 9-2320-209-35 that has a section in the front detailing removal of the LDS427 and replacing with the LD-465. You will love the little tractor. Great runabouts and quick due to light weight. You got a deal! Is it turbocharged?

Kenny, regarding data plates, I received you package yesterday with the plate from the scrapped M756A2 plus some other goodies, much appreciated!
Thanks!

No worries Bjorn, glad they made the trek safely.

DDeuce, you've been bitten by the bug! There is no cure, only more mv's will keep it in check...

 

[red devils dude]

for $2,500 go for it.

Armada, it must be a big green bug. It's a big bite.

Kenny, Yes, It's a turbo.
