    M275A2 DOA but now RUNS!

    That's cool Cory. It's nice to hear it running. Sounds good and strong.

    Maintenance Question

    Most plug sockets usually have a hex drive on the top/drive end so you can use a wrench or another socket on them to let the plug stick through the drive hole if needed. Sunex makes a set of extra deep spark plug sockets that are pretty inexpensive. Gray tools might have something similar as I...

    I said farewell to the m275a2 deuce tractor today.

    Dump kit under the flat bed was planned. I ended up getting my first 5 ton soon after picking up the deuce and never really got back to the deuce. All of the 5 tons have run good and didn't need the work the deuce did.

    New member: Friend's M35A2 and heater question

    My brother bought his deuce from a young man in Colorado who had been living in it. He was actually from Oregon and had driven down to Colorado for work. He had built a 12x8x8 foot box out of 2x4s and plywood on the bed and was actually heating it with a cast iron potbelly wood burning stove.

    I said farewell to the m275a2 deuce tractor today.

    Oh no. I'm not getting out of the hobby. I still have the m931a2 and 5 trailers. The 931 runs and drives though so I decided it was time to send the deuce on to a new home.

    I said farewell to the m275a2 deuce tractor today.

    I found a buyer for the deuce tractor and sent it on it's way this morning. Kind of bittersweet, but I couldn't find time to dedicate to it and I was not going to let it sit in a field and rust away. The sheetmetal is too good of shape to do that. Anyway, the new owner is happy. I am happy...

    Picked up an m116 to update my m101

    That was my first thought as well Gimp, but it doesn't look cobbled. It looks factory. Either way, it will most likely be in one of the for sale ads. There really isn't enough room to mount it under the lunette. Juanprado, here are the pictures.

    Picked up an m116 to update my m101

    I agree about that jack. I had never seen it either. My plan is to see if that will be able to replace the original jack. Mainly if there will be enough room under there. It is also an extra, as the original folding leg is on it as well under the lunette. That big wheel jack is one of the things...

    Picked up an m116 to update my m101

    Perusing the local craigslist a few weeks ago and this popped up not too far away. I have been wanting to sell my m101a1 to get an a2 or a3, but when I found this I Figured I would make my own a3 out of the existing one. The guy I got it from said it originally had a generator and a...

    M105 lunette removal

    To date I have flipped 17 lunettes on m105a2 trailers and have never run into any problems like I read about on here. I use two big combination wrenches to do it. A 1 1/2" of course to turn the nut and any of a number of large wrenches (1 5/16" up to 55mm) that I put behind the nut that acts...

    Our local parade in Greendale, Indiana. It is actually a bike and dress up parade for the little kids. Had about 100 or so of them, two fire trucks, two EMS vehicles 3 police cars and my M931a2. Not a very big parade but the kids loved "the big Army truck"
