She is a D turbo. Sorry, no whistling here. :)

The trailer has a pintle hitch but I don't know what the tongue weight was. I have a receiver hitch on the truck also but it is only rated for 12.000 pounds and the trailer and deuce exceeded that by a significant amount. I pulled it with an F-350 turbo diesel. It was a load for the truck...

Brought it home from Iowa :-). I'm glad it is at its new home.

Three days driving and 2200 miles traveled and the deuce is home. My original plan to drive it home fell by the wayside when I learned it had been sitting for three years. I towed my trailer from Utah to Iowa, pulled the outside duals on the deuce so it would fit on the trailer, and loaded it...

FWIW I won a deuce that had been "driven onto lot". I planned on doing some mechanical work on it, carrying spare parts, and driving it home. When I called to make an appointment to pick it up and found that it had indeed been driven onto the lot..... three years ago. I have now beefed up my...

Thanks for asking about this before I had to :-). Thanks for the answers.

Welder Sam, PM sent.

DeucesWild, your post on the airpack rebuild is the reason I decided it would be better to have a spare than try to rebuild on the road. I have your writeup saved on my computer and will take it with me just in case. I also have several other rebuild posts on other items and all the TM's...

Thanks Gimpy and Dabtl. I am hoping all goes easier than I have planned for but after my last post about my plans and all the posts about brake issues I figured it would be best to be well prepared. Thanks again!

I will be off to recover my first deuce next week. I have enough parts to rebuild almost the entire brake system, as well as wheel bearings and several other portions of the truck. I have a rebuild kit for the airpack but wondered if there was anyone who had a spare airpack they would be...

Do you still need help and what do you need collecting? I am in Provo and get up that way on occasion.

From: Des Moines, Iowa area To: Provo, Utah I-80 all the way. I'll wave on the way by. But seriously, you have given me a lot to think about. Maybe I will rethink my plan.

I really understand that statement! I have been bitten by that thinking a time or two, but the older I get the more I realize the risk isn't worth the potential reward. Thanks for the warning.

Really good suggestions and you are correct, reflectors had not entered my mind. Thanks.

I drove semi up and down the California coast for years. If it has tires or tracks I can drive it. I also worked as a truck mechanic for several years. I have a pretty good idea what I'm in for. Shipping estimate was as much as I payed for the truck. I will look for someone else to help...

Duplicate post. Sorry.

WOW!!! Much information fast. Now to answer your questions: DeucesWild11 - The truck was driven onto the lot so I am assuming a lot, like that it runs (though I am sure the batteries are toast) and has brakes. If there are issues I can't fix on the road I will leave it and come back later...

I purchased an M35A2 from GL and will be picking it up as soon as my EUC is approved. I will be driving it about 1000 mile to home. I plan on driving my pickup out and towing it back with the Deuce. Now for the questions. I will be taking my tool box, a spare set of oil and fuel filters, 5...
