Well it's time to post belated pictures of the meeting last Sunday at Fred Perkin's place in Davie, FL. To say that Fred is a collector is an understatement of the highest order. I was stricken with sensory overload as I was led on a guided tour of his compound. He has an eclectic collection of...

Those things are problematic......designed by an idiot and built by morons.

My mind shudders when I think of the perversion that could occur in that vehicle.

I think a 1400x20 mounted on a HEMMT or 5 ton super single rim scales out at around 500 pounds. It would take some good steel and fab skills to do that kind of mount. Where you mounted it would have to be able to support the weight without the metal fatiguing or warping. Big tires are cool but...

Five years ago I was buying deuces for 1000 bucks and driving them home. Now you will pay almost as much for a deuce as you will for a nice 900 series truck. It's the law of supply and demand. I still have my deuce tractor (M275) but unless one just fell into my lap I prob won't get another. I...

Welcome to the Green Iron Laughing Academy.:cookoo: Maybe one of the faithful in your neck of the woods will chime in and you can go visit a "Green Iron Addict". Be aware that a deuce is a "Gateway MV". Once you have it you will start to look at accessories, trailers and yes......other trucks...

I have the M927 insured with Progressive. It's a semi-commercial farm policy (I have farm tags on it) and cost me about 250 a year.

They lack air ride suspension and coupled with the short wheelbase will beat your teeth out on a rough road. The cabs are very Spartan and tend to have a lot of road noise. A lot of folks are using them for short hauls like grain where you are not behind the wheel for ten hours at a time. Unless...

Me and the Boss Lady went out last night and met up with fellow SS member Panzerwillie and some other MV addicts. Tomorrow (Sunday) we are going over to Fred's (he may be a member but doesn't post much) to play with some Green Iron toys. I will have the camera and take pics......Elmo and Ellie...

How do you change the oil in a whale?

Many thanks to Papa Bear for making the first part of the mission a resounding success (after I got in the right gate). We made a quit stop and headed on down to Hades South. We met Steve6x6x6 at Wildwood and completed the second part of the mission in quick time. We made it on down to Davie...

We are departing AL early Thursday morning and stopping in Columbus, GA to pick up some stuff to go to Steve6x6x6 and should be in Davie late that night. We will be leaving Davie sometime Saturday night. I was planning on giving you a call while I was down there and letting you buy me lunch.

Maybe my dates are off......but the offer still stands.

The Boss Lady has dictated that I make a foray to Hades South (near Miami) with her. I'm making the best of it by delivering some parts to Steve6x6x6 and picking up some rims he has been holding for me...

My M927 has the 8.3 and I'm happy with it. It is a lot quieter than the "nifty 250" and is a lot better on fuel. It seems anemic on the hills but that's military vehicles in general. If you manually downshift at around 1800 RPM it seems to pull better. I pulled a big van trailer to the GA Rally...

PM received. The last time I passed the place the whole nine yards was gone. I hope it didn't go to the scrapper but it was almost all aluminum and prices got high a while back. If I get over that way I'll stop in and ask the old boy what happened to it.

Welcome back to the Green Iron Loony bin. Glad you made it back safe and sound. Have fun with your new toy, you earned it.

I know where there are two parked now very close to my LZ. They are for sale but not for less than scrap value (the owner is a scrapper). They have been sitting up for a while and will require a lot of work to make them runners. If you are interested PM for contact info.

I have contact info for the guy that is selling the Warner estate. PM for info.
