    How are you storing your Deuces? (Plural)

    Wont need to bother with my tarp pictured in my previous post this winter. Just added a 13X27' onto my existing shed, 13 wide gives just enough room to get the duals off both sides. Just need to put up the 12'wide x10' tall door & cut an opening through between the buildings now. Put down a 5...

    Topeka MVPA Convention photos

    Wow, what a great show! I saw that at John Deere Expo a few years back. It's a reproduction of a prototype armored John Deere, one of two types submitted during WW2. Both were total failures in testing & not accepted. It was definately cool to see them both putting around the show grounds.

    Spotted a nice gasser in a museum

    Yes, it's the same place. Hays is on one side & Heidrick ag history center on the other seperated by a courtyard but also connected by two hallways.

    Spotted a nice gasser in a museum

    Yes. It's singled in the rear & has really high sides on the bed, but not cut- out above the wheels like an M34. Never seen a bed like it.

    Spotted a nice gasser in a museum

    Saw this '53 Gasser W/W at Heidrick Ag museum in Woodland, CA Saturday, along with several other nice MV's. & lots of Ag tractors. Great museum to check out if you're ever in the area. Now I need to get a searchlight for my Deuce too ;) And a WW1 Holt armored tractor

    Is there "suppose" to be water in my M101A2 cover?

    I've seen some deuce covers fill up with water at the corner reinforcements like that.

    Getting ready for the parade

    Sounds good, I may see you up there. Wife works in the morning, I'll see if my daughter wants to go.

    Getting ready for the parade

    Waterloo? Does that line up on W 5th? I was thinking about wandering up there, but didn't know anyone else going.

    Cargo Cover kit

    My new bow set must be a half-breed. I got regular steel corners & screwed everything together, but the steel bows have the quick detach pins. I cut the front & rear pins off the #1 & #5 bows, it looked like they would end up wearing through the cover pretty quickly, I also put some "gorilla...

    EGT reads 900 at WOT going up hill

    You have plenty of room for improvement. I turned mine up last year using the procedure in the LDS TM & then installed a pyro pre turbo. I can hit 1200 with WOT accellerating up a grade after awhile, but I dont need WOT anymore to maintain 55 on hills:-D ( yes, we have some pretty lumpy ground...

    Overall Height

    I'm just starting on an addition to the garage for mine & almost went with a 10' wide door, at the last minute I changed to a 12' wide, still going with 10' high. I measured in at 9'4" tall to the rear bow center.

    Foam for passengers seat bottom?

    I replaced my springs with "LUX-HQ" foam from thefoamfactory.com, cost about $35 each for bottom & back both wrapped in Dacron. Make sure you measure well so you get a good firm fit. My wife's a pretty harsh seat critic and she approves the new seat wrapped in JATONKA canvas.

    My step side Bob deuce

    Very nice! I have the same dislike for the fenders/height of the 105 bed on a Deuce.

    Iowa : registration/insurance

    I checked into the RV classification when I bought my M35-no go for mine. You would probably pass with the 109 IF you went ahead & added a flushing toilet, running water with tanks, and retained the 120 volt electrical system. The book stated all these must be permanently installed. Can't just...

    Iowa : registration/insurance

    Welcome to the addiction! I have State Farm for around $3.50/month with all my multi policy & no claim discounts. By law, you need a chauffeur D2 unless its for farm use. This covers non-commercial straight truck > 16,000 but < 26,001 GVWR. A 5 ton would require a CDL-B ( >26,001 ) I know...

    Kicked out of my own driveway!

    Glad it turned out well! I actually called my CLEO and City clerk before bidding on my Deuce. They said no problem as long as it's registered and in working order. At this time, my city still allows semi tractors on private property, but the neighboring town wont even allow them to drive the...

    How are you storing your Deuces? (Plural)

    Winter storage next to my shop. My town uses enough salt on the roads to rot a deuce quickly, so I just parked it for the winter. Tarp is a heavy canvas 10X12 from Northern tool. Well worth the $75, it's had 14 inches of snow on it & never sags or tore. Threw in some new batteries last week &...
