I already have it at my shop for him. He wants to keep the steel cover on the back so I doubt it would fit on your trailer. But you are welcome to drop tires off for me anytime you want. Or I could even offer to pick them up for you on one of my many adventures to McCoy. They'd at least be a bit closer for you.

I have a 40ft lo pro flatbed, I have carried regular deuces with cargo canvas and bows in place with no issue. M109s as well. Was just wondering since I will be up that way on a semi regular basis for the next year! Let me know if I can help.

I will pass the word along to him, but as for now he is coming on Friday for it. Also with the built cover this deuce is just shy of 12', so that would have to be one very low flat bed.

Well they are on the way. They will be taking I39 through IL to 74 and then across to KY. We figure if all goes well they will be home by 12:00 tonight. I will keep progress reports coming as I get them.

I talked to TBM-35 at 2:30 Central time and they were just North of Bloomington, IL. The truck is still running fine, with the exception of an overly strong throttle return spring. Will update on their next fuel stop.

The accelaerator pedal on my A3 is very hard to push all the way to the floor ,compared to my A2 . I believe this is because the pedal on the A3 is also hooked up to a cable going to the Allison tranny . The tranny cable makes some tight turns that may make it stiff . If you get under the truck and look at it , it is kind of a funky setup .
Just reread the whole thread , looks like he is picking up an A2 . So my theory was wrong . Whish them a good journey , boy did they have a hot drive .

Well when I picked the truck up there was no spring there and all we had was a clutch spring and we had to modify that to work. It's a bit stiff, but I think he'll be fine, I hope.
