    need a 10 ton tractor

    It was very frustrating to answer alot of questions back when I sold trucks for a living. One can't always tell who are the dreamers and who are real buyers. My wife used to say I should change my number to 1-900-armytrucks so I could charge for all the times people called me for FREE...

    Just playin' MD. I'm also curious why you would ask questions about the truck. Jeff

    need a 10 ton tractor

    I've got one for $72K but I'll need a $30k deposit so I can go buy one for the going rate.... :D ...that's my reasoning. I did not know a CARC paint job was a rebuild. Jeff

    Decisions! What to do with M275A2

    Kenny Was there ever a trailer like that? If you ever go to Ft Eustis there's a bunch of Vietnam truck scale models and dioramas which were scratch built by a Vet. One of the dioramas has a trailer like you describe but I think it was on a dolly converter. Jeff

    Decisions! What to do with M275A2

    Funny, I just had the same conversation with a friend of mine. He's as crazy as you are.... :roll: Anything is possible. He also figured he'd just let the bed hang over and just avoid putting anything real heavy right at the back. Jeff

    Outgrown your 5-ton, want something beefier?

    For less than half the money you could get one with the trailer: 160136727848 I can't believe any one pays the asking prices of Oshkosh Eq, they're out of sight. i guess there one born every second. I had a guy call me to ask how to get more speed out of a M51A2. He had just spent $30,000! for...

    Re-Powering The Deuce With A 5-Ton LDS-465-1A Engine

    i did not get into army trucks for the fuel economy :lol: i don't check it but i have not noticed any excessive fuel consumption. yes, you need to use the deuce bell, flywheel/ clutch. you will need to save the power steering pump block off plate unless you intend to run REAL power steering...

    Re-Powering The Deuce With A 5-Ton LDS-465-1A Engine

    The original LDSs used a larger turbo w/ waste gate when they first came out but I've only seen a couple of these. All the rest use the same turbo as the deuce, the C model wistler at least, with an adapter to the larger exhaust of the five ton. It is not a problem to be able to turn the LDTs up...

    Re-Powering The Deuce With A 5-Ton LDS-465-1A Engine

    I found a substantial power gain. I can tow bar another deuce w/o trouble. The truck also maintains speed on grade. I used to think the only difference between the LDT and LDS were the LDS have oil squirters to cool the piston skirts but Winslow said he found the squirters in a LDT-465-1D with...

    Re-Powering The Deuce With A 5-Ton LDS-465-1A Engine

    I've done it a couple times. The oil pan is the same between the two motors, just mounted in reverse BUT you will need to use the oil pick-up tubes off the LDT to be able to reverse the pan on the LDS. Move the dip stick tube from the LDS to the LDT position. The block is set up for both, just...
