The reason it is dangerous to park a deuce in gear is that if someone reaches in and hits the starter button (if the power switch is on) it will crank in gear and take off. That is why I always put my deuces in low range when I parked them. If for some reason that happened they would not move...

5 tons didn't come with Cats.....you either have an A3 deuce or someone transplanted that engine into a 5 ton. If it has 6 lug nuts it is a deuce. 5 tons have 10. If that engine was transplanted into a 5 ton it is not going to get out of it's own way. Are you sure it is straight air brakes...

Papabear bought a special frock just for this years rally.....he'll be disappointed if you don't show up.

This equine has been repeatedly flogged.:deadhorse::deadhorse::deadhorse::deadhorse:

Say it ain't so....just when we have you conditioned to southern cooking. We'll miss you and Eric if he don't make it. If he does make it we will preserve the evidence of any misdeeds.

I have had the pleasure of working with Mike since he first brought an MKT to the GA Rally (the exact year escapes me) and it has been a blast cooking for the rallies every year. Until he built the Sanitation Unit we washed dishes on the ground and mostly in the dark with cold water. We continue...

This is what happens when you get too close to the conflagration:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pAw7ftiD3s

Here are some of mine:

Thanks. I wasn't aware of that procedure. It should save me some grief from now on.

The first M915's had the 400 Cummins with the 16 speed Cat (semi-automatic) Transmission. They would run with the big civilian trucks. If I can find one I'm going to grab it.

I let a Pipeline Deuce slip away a few years ago and have been kicking myself in the butt since. David Doyle got it and I wonder if he ever restored it.

Don't forget....Ron holds the record for sustained flight in a M819. He didn't get points for style but he did get high marks for distance.

If you are talking about the 8.3 Cummins I had a ell of a time getting the wrecker to start. I cracked two injector lines, pumped the crap out of the primer and it still wouldn't fire. To compound the issue I had to slave it since the batteries were low. I had replaced the fuel line that went...

Here is a pic of one of my former M915's (since pimped off) that I used to pull my van trailer to shows with. On of my big complaints with the older M915/916/917's etc. is having to stand on my head to work on a lot of things in the engine compartment. I have actually taken the front tires off...

Seriously?

Check out the GA Rally thread in the "Upcoming events". Coming up fast in early Oct. There are several folks from up that way and beyond heading down to the rally. Latch onto some of them and come on down. You will suffer "sensory overload" there due to so many types of trucks and equipment. You...

Anything is possible....not everything is probable.

Well the mission was completed today when I delivered the stuff I picked up from Warthog in OKC to Swiss in GA. I had struck a deal with Microjeep for a Bolster trailer and we met at his place in Blairsville to do the drop and swap. Swiss was accompanied by Ron so we had a mini-rally and then...
