    INFO ON Deuce tractor

    Kenny, Looks like you are the go-to-guy for M275A2 questions... I'm relatively new to the green-iron world,,, so perhaps you can answer a couple of questions for me.... I'm strongly considering yanking the box off an old M109A3 van truck to use a deer blind (elevated with power run to it)...
