    20 July SS'er Get Together at the Veterans State Park in Cordele GA.

    http://gastateparks.org/net/go/parks.aspx?LocationID=29 Copy and Paste the link in your browser for park details. After working with Atomic on his truck today, we came up with an idea of a get together for members close to the Veterans State Memorial Park for 27 July. They have a small Museum...

    Thanx to Sandcobra..

    Appreciate the recognition guys!!! I'm nobody special, I'm just an average everyday person who was raised up "Old School" and just happen to enjoy this hobby with ya'll.

    Heavy Hauling with a Deuce

    Some folks need pics for everything. I followed a sarcastic post with another possibly worse sarcastic post. Enjoy the pics of the two trailers hooked together and hooked behind my Deuce. It did pull them about 20-30 feet in my yard. I was bored and honestly was testing my backing skills...

    M817 Blowing smoke but won't start

    I had one that I replaced all the lines on. She'd start right up when the temp was 70 degree's or above. Below that, slow cranking, white smoke and then like a grenade going off, she'd fire up and rattle like a tin can full of marbles. The same rattle you'll hear from a NHC 250 under a load...

    Heavy Hauling with a Deuce

    Nobody took the bait. What I wrote was true, I've still got 2 MK 14's in Tandem Tow configuration behind my truck. I plan on hauling the combo to Missouri and dropping the MK14's and driving back. Should take around 2 days at most and I'll bet I can get 62 mph on the flats considering my...

    Heavy Hauling with a Deuce

    I just used my Deuce to back an MK14 trailer and hook up to another MK14 trailer. The combo is normally hauled by an MK 48 which has a 425hp Detroit. I don't think anyone else has tandem towed this combo with the prime mover being a M35A2 and both trailer's riding on Pintle hitches but my...

    Deuce hauls an MK 18 Trailer

    Hoefler, It looks like it dropped the back end of the M923 worse than my Deuce. I know mine dropped about an inch or so at the pintle but it looks like your truck dropped about 2. I'm sure your truck got it up to speed better but it towed like a dream behind the Deuce. A little slow but I'm...

    Deuce G.V.W.

    You could do a 2,200 pound load in the bed and 23,500 on the pintle for a GCWR of 38,700 if you're not in a hurry!! There were 4 tires, I know they don't weigh that much each!!

    M931 from fort Stewart to Warner Robins

    I may be game if it's a runner. I'd check it over good and drive it to your house. Let me know, we'll arrange a price. It's 180 miles to get there, 150 or so to your house and then about 90 miles back down 75 and 300 to get home. Joseph

    Is this correct Cucv towbar?

    I got some 3/4" feet from 3D Angus thinking that they would be what was needed for my M1028. Turns out it has 1" pins just like my Deuce. I gave them back to him at the GA Rally so I know he had a set if your CUCV has the 3/4" pins.

    Deuce hauls an MK 18 Trailer

    Or you could maneuver you're 48/14 combo and hitch up to you're MK 18 trailer on the pintle and towbar arrangement and pull it off that way. I'm not happy at all about the trucker fussing about stowing the tires on the step deck above the fifthwheel at all this evening. It was his idea and he...

    Deuce hauls an MK 18 Trailer

    Well, Sir, you could probably do just that but you'll need a forklift nearby to lift the towbar once you get ready to unbolt it!!! Then you can back the MK48 to the trailer on top of a trailer and be good to go provided you've unhooked the MK48 FPU if it's hooked to an RBU and nobody loses the...

    Deuce hauls an MK 18 Trailer

    Sir, the ramps are only rated to 20K, the trailer with towbar comes to about 23,5K. The Deuce would have been on the ramps before the trailer was off and that's another 13K. I'm glad I decided to load the trailer on the trailer with a wrecker as the driver quickly informed me that he would not...

    Deuce hauls an MK 18 Trailer

    Got easier, at least it started that way. I left work at lunch to go and get the tires for Hoefler. I left out in the Deuce to Mr. Kellam's yard to pick up the tires. Wrestled them off of his forklift onto the truck and had just about got the canvas buttoned back up. Got a call from the...

    Deuce hauls an MK 18 Trailer

    Now it's about to get interesting. Tomorrow I'm going to attempt to back this thing on a flatbed with ramps. I would rather it be a landoll with a dovetail ramp or an RGN but there should be some interesting pics tomorrow night. I believe the entire truck and trailer combo should fit on a...

    Deuce hauls an MK 18 Trailer

    Sir, I didn't score it. I pulled it for a fee but it really is nice and newly rebuilt. If the owner want's to post what it sold for, he'll speak up and if he doesn't want to, that's fine as well. I will say that when it comes to bidding, things have gone way up with new interest in the hobby...

    Deuce hauls an MK 18 Trailer

    quickfarms, they are normally powered by the hydraulic pump on the MK 48. I have no idea how much volume it produces but I know this much about it. When you want to use the hydraulics on the trailer, you pull a knob out on the passenger side of the MK 48 commonly known as the 8 ball. When you...
