    Demil B & Q Sales Ending??

    I received this email today. I'm not sure how I got on a list to get this other than the fact that I buy quite a bit from GL. I called GL and asked if they knew anything about this, they asked that I forward the email. I did and they're taking a look at it. I have heard rumblings of this for the...

    MadDawg joins the ranks of deuce owners!

    Hey Mike, Those are GREAT looking trucks, good choice and CONGRATS! These next few months are going to be great for inexpensive Dueces and 5 Tons. I actually like the mirrors on the second truck. Very cool and original. There are some beautiful well cared for trucks coming out of Guard Units...

    New M816

    Well I have decided to have the truck hauled, Bruce's rather strong message brought up good points, that's the kind of feedback I was looking for. I wouldn't have had tags. I would have had insurance. I did have plans in case of break down & I did figure the cost of hauling into the total cost...

    New M816

    It's coming from Little Falls MN. I'm setting aside 4 or 5 days for the trip. I'm hoping to get about 5 mpg. I'd like to meet up with some SS's along the way. My EUC's are going through pretty quick. Trip will probably be in about 3 weeks. I had been watching this one for about 2 months, I'll...

    New M816

    I need to move an M816 about 1800 miles :shock: . For those of you who know, and don't know :? what kind of a road trip would this be (other than long and hot)? What sort of mileage and speed can I expect?

    Need Help with Leak, Early Style 5 Ton Power Steering.

    Thanks for the quick response. Is the little vent on stering gear side? If so, that makes sense. Is it a seal between the 2 that has cut loose? Well thanks very much for pointing me in the right direction. I'll call Memphis in the AM. By the way, what memphis book are you refering to? Thanks much,

    Need Help with Leak, Early Style 5 Ton Power Steering.

    Hi Guys, I need help. My M52A2 is leaking power steering fluid from what looks like a vent or presure release on top of the power unit / steering gear. This vent has a little cap that is loose and seems to have a spring under it. It is the old style Ross power steering. It leaks when I turn the...

    Pics of M107A2

    I bought a 1954 M107A2 about 2 weeks ago. Towed it 750 miles home from Oakland Ca. Had been looking for a good water buffalo for about a year to water trees on our property in eastern AZ. It's in very good condition and complete with all of it's original faucets. Trailer needs a little cleaning...

    Pics of Trip to Jack's Gov Surplus

    Yes, that's 1 of the 6 yards and is the main yard. Also, zoom out 1 notch, that yard continues past the top of the page. Once zoomed out, you can also see another yard, the one at the far right on the same side of the street.

    Bought a V17A/MTQ Today

    I had my eye on several of Jack's trucks and decided on the V17A/MTQ. Completly original with rotating platform/guards, gin poles, winches and Comet 331. It isn't the yellow one in the pictures, it's another one he has, yellow one is still available. It'll have new brakes, water pump, carb...
