Hey Peashooter I sold a fellow a Unimog and he had it shipped from ND to Virginia, I think he did it through USHIP they came to my shop and picked up the Mog and delivered it to his front door for like 1400.00$ the shippers did a great job and they did the job for much cheaper than I could have...
Great pics guys and they really make me feel good here in ND, I have my 925 sitting in front of my house and besides a slight dusting we HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY SNOW!!! I put the snowblower on my tractor in Nov. and have yet to blow a flake of the stuff! Seeing these pics reminds me just how much...
Darned nice looking Deuce looks to be a pretty darned nice looking Rig! Word of CAUTION 62 MPH is pushing things on a Deuce and many people will dissagree with me BUT with that said I try real hard NOT to exceed 2200 RPM with the LDT engines, great motors and if PMs are kept up with will run...
Goats are so very neat and will go up and over or through just about anything and they are just very cool but good God they are loud, that little screaming Detroit gets old really fast!

Hello JimM37 I did see that one in fact it was one of the first ones I looked at BUT (yes I know) it like SO many of them had a very serious case of rust! The price was good, it was the exact truck I was looking for but the close I looked the more rust I saw it was so bad in the cab corners...
Thanks for the great suggestions guys I have the low voltage battery isolated now and its charging by itself we will see if that gets to 12 volts or higher after charging if not then it will be replaced, in the mean time I will start going over possible ground problems before replacing that...
Hello Folks I have a question for you concerning my M-920! The truck is your normal 1980 M-920 tractor all original and has 609 miles since complete rebuilt, the question I have is I have been running into some road blocks it seems to get it started, I did have it running when I got it then it...
Woodsplitter what I did on my Deuce wheels is wire wheel any rust off and put a good SCUFF on the existing paint, wipe the wheels clean with alcohol to remove any possible oil or grease residue and spray them, I painted mine green and when done I had Wished I had gone with flat black, OH WELL...
ND you pretty much go the 5 tons out of the way now you need to decide if your going to buy your way UP or back down the ladder a bit? may I suggest next buy should be a 920 or maybe a 911 HET, HEMTT would be VERY cool and well lets all admit it a 1070 would certainly be entertaining! Once a...
Woodsplitter just a word of caution if you have the lugnuts powder coated and you install them you ARE going to chip the absolute crap out of them with a lug wrench! Powder coating is great and extremely durable in lots of places but lug nuts are most definitely NOT one of them! Be prepared...
I am not to familiar with the diesel motor that is in a 1009 but I had a 72 GMC pickup in high school that had like an electric plunger the carb linkage ran up against and all it was for was to slow down how fast the carb linkage could close the butterflys and it stopped working at one time and...
CDR the truck looks like a very good place to start, it looks fairly complete and a good base to start building upon! I have owned a few Deuces with both the C and D turbos, the whistler sounds very cool and you can hear it from a LONG ways away, if you are going to drive this truck for any...

Are you double clutching when your shifting? I have driven a lot of different Deuces and through the years have just got inot the habit of double clutching both up and down, some it seemed the truck liked me doing that a LOT better others did not seem to care but over the years it just became...
I have a very huge dislike for chains 95% of the time they are heavy take a fair amount of time to put on can be very nasty to take off and they need a little care and maintenance, pretty much a big pain in the butt!!! BUT for the 5% of the time I use them they are worth every bit of effort and...
Fuel mileage is as described to me by a military mechanic (CRAPPY at best) and any of them that are armored (I know WE cant get them) you can cut CRAPPY in half on a good day!
