A deuce will fit on a "Hotshot" rig (big dually pickup with lowboy trailer) and that is prob the cheapest way to ship one. I have shipped several that way. The big issue will be getting it on the trailer at the loading site.....I am assuming it is colder than a Siberian well diggers arse out in...

The only way to keep the 5th wheel and add a sleeper would be to stretch the frame. A longer wheelbase will give you a little better ride....air bag suspension would give you a better one. The M915 sucks on a rough road....been there. A set of stacks would look nice but I would not go too...

I agree with the above....take it from someone who has spent way too much on Green Iron. If you have disposable income go for it. A complete kit is hard to find but you have to weigh that against responsibilities. It seems that deals like this always pop up during Christmas.auaauaaua

Contact SS member PCTRANS.....Pete is a good guy to work with. I think he runs up that way. This time of year a long road trip in a deuce could be iffy.

I was in an Armored unit in the Alabama National Guard in the early 80's and sometimes for weekend drill we would go to Pelham Range (next to Fort McClellan) and the tankers would draw tanks from the UTES and do manuver exercises. I ususlly drove for the First Sergeant (M151A2) and we would...

I drove a 5 ton tractor from Indy to Alabama in a blizzard a few years ago. Insulated coveralls kept my bottom warm......K.I.S.S.

The M915 is just a military version of a civilian road tractor. Most of the M915's were assigned to transportation units that actually had a hauling mission. A lot of these units were National Guard and Reserve units.....they only drove their trucks one weekend a month and during two week...

Great job.[thumbzup][thumbzup]

Be a cool shift knob for a deuce....especially if you could hook some of the switches up to activate lights or such.

Another prime example of gooberment run amok. It could be that someone in the system has their eye on them and plan to snag them when they are auctioned off. Not that any gooberment official would do that......noooooo, never.:roll:

Great fab job....I did the same thing since I did not like the "elephant ear" mirrors on my M275. You are going to have an issue with them being pushed back by the force of the wind pushing on them going down the road. That is why they have all the arms on the stock set up. You might want to...

Having had a 250 that ran away (long story) and almost self-destructed I can tell you that getting parts is not a walk in the park. I had to buy an engine just to get pistons and liners out of. I tried several Cummins dealers in Alabama and all of them said that the 250 is an "obsolete"...

When you are at the bottom of a hole......quit digging. Nothing gonna get that HETT out of that sand except a HEMMET wrecker or another HETT. One of the reasons I hate the HETT system is that goatf**k of a trailer.....the skinny tires give little or no floatation. I think the M747 trailer...

Never mind.:doh:

How do we get to the topics?:lost: Are you still constructing the new site???

It will suck the bottom out of the fuel tank and it will still be gear bound. You might be quicker but you will not be much faster. Taller tires will help you get a few more MPH but not much. Then you have the issue of the single cylinder brake system. If you have plenty of GO but no...

Just secure it good in the bed.....I would use it to pump fuel into the main tank rather than trying it plumb it into the fuel lines due to the return fuel system.

L I'll B....MR DUCKS

Another zombi flick????:roll:

The 5 ton outweighs the deuce by a few thousand pounds. It is not a good idea to flat tow a heavy vehicle with a lighter one. You can hook airlines to a 5 ton from a deuce for braking purposes (assuming the brakes on the 5 ton work) but it would still be hinky. I would try to find a step...
