Working the deuce.

[Stretch44875]

Finally a good reason for my dump bed. Got an old barn that was tore down before I bought my house. Removing the foundation so I can plant grass, and use the old barn ramp to load stuff in the deuce. Only made two trips so far, not sure how much wieght I have on the truck. The dump works great, and the bed isn't bending.

Driving the truck takes some time to get to speed. I have to use all the gears in low range, and then grab 4th in high range. Darn valve stem got a hole on my tractor, so am waiting on a new tube before I get back to work.

I had about that much dirt in the back of my duece, I was very happy with how it handled, you could barely tell it was there. Only problem was I don't have a dump bed so I had to shovel all the dirt out by hand, talk about backbreaking. These truck pay for themselves and then some when it comes time for work.

I just gotta say...apart from enjoying the pics of the deuce at work, it's great to see the countryside around your place as well. Looks really peaceful out there...until you fire up the deuce of course

were you trying to pull out a tree over by the barn earlier this year? Try it when the deuce is loaded with dirt.

Stretch, love the countryside.

What was that muffler the NAPA one that was mentioned in earlier postings. Looks good.

I guess no burnouts with all the dirt in the back, a wheelstand maybe?

The muffler is from napa, been a couple of threads about it.

Love living out here, but lot more work than in the city! The tree I tried to pull out and I have become friends. It is going to be there for a while. Mostly concrete and rock in the truck, with a covering of dirt.

Love the photos... They'll also be good to have around the next time somebody asks "why would you want to own that thing..."
