Deuce from Wisconsin to S.E. Ohio

[Speddmon]

Hello all,

Tonight I won my first Deuce from GL. The sale was in Sparta, Wisconsin and I need to get it from there to outside of Cambridge, OH. Time frame is in about 2 weeks, I can stall for a while submitting the EUC, since they are going through so much faster now than they were, I expect the EUC to take about 1 or 1 1/2 weeks to clear. Any help would be appreciated.

If anybody from Ohio or close to Ohio won one from up there as well, maybe we could double up for a semi and split the shipping???? Or possibly a joint recovery effort to get at least one running and tow the other (getting both running would be best of course). I have plenty of acreage to store yours for a while until it could be driven home.

A trailer with winch would be preferred because of the horror stories I've heard about GL loading with a fork lift and damaging things. A tow would be good also.

Any help would be appreciated, this is my first deuce and I'm really excited about getting her home and starting the process of licensing and getting a title.

My EUC took only 1 week from the time I emailed my docs to my PAID IN FULL invoice two weeks ago

Mike at McCoy won't mess up your truck, no horror stories there. Your truck can be driven onto a trailer or you could just go up and drive it home.

I wanted that truck but I was too cheap. I would just drive it home - that truck appeared to be in good condition. I drove my duece home to north east IN, from there about a month ago, with no real problems. Like Dr. Greg said, Mike in Mcoy is a good guy, your truck will be fine.

Congrats.

When I got my duece home I got farm plates on it about $150. It was alot cheaper than standerd plates.
Also on insurance farm use. I pay about $ 140 a year with that .

Have a good one safe drive home.

It does appear to be in nice condition, and the fact that in the pictures it's running helps out a lot!!!

I was leaning that way too, I'm just not sure about the restrictions for farm use...and if they'll stop me if I'm not using it as such.

How can you tell it's running in the pictures?

Congrats! Nice looking truck you got there! Try some of the truckers that post on the forum here. Lavarok and myself had great service from MD Carriers, but I'm not sure he goes to your neck of the woods. I've also heard a lot of good things about Hotshot. I think his username here is heavy. Send him a PM, he'll get back to you quick.

Sorry, The picture of the quages wasn't in this post...I posted it in another thread, but the tach, just over 1000 rpm,s. Oil pressure over 50 psi, temp gauge over 150 degrees. Unless all the gauges are screwed up...it's running

Mike up there is great. I've driven two home from up there that he said were running in the auction details. If it was labeled driven in, I would be pretty comfortable driving something home from sparta. Just check all the little stuff.

Thanks for the offer, If I decide to come get her, would there be any way we could meet up and maybe have you help me give her a good once over, before the long trip home. This is my first deuce, and there are plenty of things I won't even begin to pretend I know about it. I could fix about anything on her, given enough time. But during a recovery, I can't imagine they'll let you do too much to the truck while it's on base. I just need some help and advice making sure she's road worthy, if I decide to come get it.

Congratulations on the score. Did that genset you just got give you the parts needed?

 

[Speddmon]

Yeah,
but now I don't have the time to change out the blower wheel, for at least another week. I was stupid and bought a monster of an air compressor and picked it up on the same day. Then I turn around and buy a deuce all the way up in WI. the day after I get them home. WHAT THE H**L WAS I THINKING!!!!!!!!

 

[Speddmon]

Bump...


My EUC was sent to Battle Creek today. It looks like I'm going to drive up and get her. If there is anybody who lives along the route between Cambridge Ohio and Sparta Wisconsin, I would really appreciate it if you would make yourselves known to me, if you would like you can send me a PM. I would like to get a few people who live along the route who might be available to assist in the event of trouble on the way back. I can't imagine the inconvienence of being broke down along the interstate in a deuce and not having someone to call to assist, who knows the trucks.

So anyone who could offer assistance if needed during the trip home in late June I would really appreciate knowing about them!!!!
