    City is Messing with my deuces.....

    Sucks you have to get rid of them, are you just waiting for the titles? I was worried about that waiting for mine so I just put a copy of my invoice on the windshield so a nosey LEO might see that I did own it. My city has an ordinance that all vehicles stored in view must be plated, insured...

    How are SF-97s currently moving?

    I ended up with one of the "nicer" women at the office. No problems at all. 60 Days Neb?? holy crap! I wonder whose desks it fell between? Hope you get it soon.

    How are SF-97s currently moving?

    Yes, better safe than sorry on the weight. Any hassles on the title? like with the short ID number or "exempt" in the odometer status?. Ive got some real picky gals in my treasurers office:roll: Guess I'll find out tomorrow. Ive got this bad feeling one of them will ask for a new number to be...

    How are SF-97s currently moving?

    You lucky dog! I'll be a month tomorrow & still dont have it. Remember, its about $100 cheaper at the courthouse registering at 10 tons instead of 12 :-D

    Deuce shelter

    My building has always been reserved for my machine shop, tractors & smaller toys and Ive never thought twice about keeping my vehicles outside in the weather. So why do I now cringe at the thought of my poor new deuce sitting out in the rain:roll: We got about 5 inches of rain this weekend &...

    Finding U6TL Battery

    I like the stock box & batteries just as much as the next guy, but too much $$ for 6TL's. I just took out my box & bolted in a 1/4 inch floor for some group 31 stud-tops, don't need the post adaptors now. The plastic tray is from a 9510 John Deere combine, the floor was a grill from a John...

    No Garage, Need Insurance

    Yes, I love the rates too. I've had State Farm for 25 years & have several vehicle policies, plus homeowners & never had a claim. Makes for a great rate:-D

    No Garage, Need Insurance

    I'll make sure. It would be reassuring to have something in print.

    No Garage, Need Insurance

    I got a quote from State Farm before I even bid on my Deuce on GL. Antique, liability only... about $7/month with my multiple policy discounts. Had to send a picture in then & today, after 3 weeks, the underwriter has asked for more pictures. They wanted interior & engine pictures:roll: I asked...

    Head board crane

    You could use a hydraulic cylinder for rotation also by running a loop of roller chain between an idler sprocket & a sprocket on the hoist shaft. Then fix the cylinder rod to a point on the chain. This will give you as much rotation as want to build into it. I built a 1 ton telescoping boom...

    Driving test.....in the Deuce

    Register at 10 tons instead of 12, it will be about $205 then:-D most of us wont be hauling full gross rating with an antique anyway. With that, fees & taxes I'll spend about $400 when the day comes.

    Driving test.....in the Deuce

    I called ahead to the license station to make sure it was OK & they said no problem. When I got there, they passed it around among 3 of them & all agreed it was fine. They even went by the received date instead of the auction end date, which would have been more than 30 days. Too bad they...

    Driving test.....in the Deuce

    GL. Hopefully have a title in a week or so. I just carry my invoice with recieved on date at the bottom so I can drive it 30 days without plates-they were fine with that at the license station. I picked mine up a day or two before you at Camp Dodge.

    Driving test.....in the Deuce

    They told me as long as the truck had all the stuff it came with in working order you'r good to go for the test, but no it would not pass a commercial truck inspection as-is.

    Multifuel gauge positions always the same?

    Top left is where the TM shows it, just like your picture. Mine are like this now & much easier to look at without the two pressure gauges next to each other.

    Driving test.....in the Deuce

    If I would have done the walkaround check I could have got a CDL-B, but I didnt want to chance a failure for a license upgrade that wouldn't do me any good. I stuck with the chauffeurs D-2 for simplicity. No air brake endorsement required under 26000 Lbs here. Believe it or not the manual does...

    Driving test.....in the Deuce

    Well, I took the driving test today & passed easily. I got the woman everyone said was mean and she was really nice & all smiles as she climbed in. I asked her if she had ever given a test in any MV & she said this was a first, I think she's been there over 25 years. She was commenting on my...
