Is this the same truck that just had the head gaskets replaced? If so, that sucks.

Yes it is the same. Running really strong. I am going to remove the heads and the other salvageable parts to sell.

Sorry to hear that. Hope you find a good replacement for a reasonable cost.

Cool... a new MASSEY FERGUSON. You'll probably be the only one in a deuce.

I have been thinking a bit tonight. I have decided that if the new multi-fuel is not available, that I will thin the herd. I do not need two M35a2s and a M135. I think I might concentrate on the M135 rebuild for a while. If there is a new multi-fuel available locally, I will install it, then sell the truck. If not, then I think I will part out the truck or sell the rolling chassis. I might also trade a new in the box power steering kit for a good used multi-fuel motor.
It is a winch truck with six new 9:00 x 20 NDCC tires, plastic troop seats and such. I hate seeing it go, but at my age it probably is a good thing.

I always hate to hear about scrapping. It really puts a damper on my "I dont think a Monkey Fart will move a deuce" quip.

I took a perfectly good engine down to the scrap yard. I still have another one but i am too far away from you.

Someone surely wants a NOS air assist power steering kit in the box for a nice motor? Maybe?

Just to update, I got the deuce hauled in and on looking it appears that a ground wire on the starter came loose causing the engine to not turn over. Fixed the ground, started up. No torque. Blown rear head gasket.
I will replace the head gasket after finding out why the rear gasket gets blown out. May still need a new engine. We will see. That is much easier to find out now.
