    Value of truck question

    WOW ,,,Is that mileage at 06352? a 0? as in zero. There are two other numbers that are good to have. One is stamped in the right frame, behind the front wheel and often the other one is on the dash. I obviously would not offer another persons services but I know a guy that knows a guy that may...

    Deuce bumper illegal in CT

    What happens when you start bringing your DUKW, Staghound, Ferret and fleet of M3's in to register? Don't they know a duck will sink if you put a bumper on it? Vehicles registered historically for parades and sanctioned events are strongly supported by our Government...so far... and if a...

    Deuce bumper illegal in CT

    Bumper for big trucks The previous owner PO of this truck had it inspected in Alberta Canada in 81'. The bumper and a few other items made it a commercially registered vehicle. If a bumper is a solution, this is an option. I don't like the look and neither do some purists however it was the...

    Tire safety.

    Northern boys learn this method just to stay warm. This video shows it working nicely however it's always better to watch from back here and see all the things that could go wrong. I never put my pinky where I wouldn't put my best guitar. Sticking a hand under a piece of equipment that is...

    m923 hydroseeder truck

    Like he said, mulch/seed/fertilizer/ water, ground into a slurry and sprayed with deck-cannon or hose. I'm just pumped that this got posted this because I ran an Early Deuce back in the 80's to 98' with a 1500gal. hydroseeder on it. We prepped and seeded dam sites and did reclamation/erosion...

    Value of truck question

    When you want one they are expensive, when you don't want one they are cheap. The highest 'value' I've seen is around 20g. That's an appraised completely re-built truck, essentially new. I paid 4g for a nice runner, added about 10g hiring mechanics, buying parts and I think I'd be lucky to get...

    Engine paint colors

    Original engine color I'm sure someone is young enough to remember what color they were coming out of the factory. I do know that after re-build they were grey...and sometimes rust..... which would be easy to do. Here's one that tried to camo itself. All I find is black and white and...

    Can't mod the driver

    I'm sorry about that, too fast post...too slow publish. I don't think anyone wants to miss that video. Trying to get links to the dozen other vids that the kids had out so we can get a few angles. M931 against 1600hp....... who already knew what was going to happen?

    Can't mod the driver

    Mod the Driver! This could go in the 5 ton forum but it's more about moddin' the driver so we'll put it here. After 4 hours of flawless hill climbing and trail rides this M931 was challenged to a tug o war against a 1600hp mudder. We talked about staying on the brake and throttle until the...

    Can't mod the driver

    Can't offer muddin' tips but I take off my hat to you and anyone that sticks them in the mud. A toast.:beer: When you win and drive all over the place and nothing stops your truck.....well my jaw just hurts thinking about how hard we laughed. When you bury it and have a safe recovery, expenses...

    Sellers blues :(

    Lose/lose situation.... We're hoarding if we keep them, broken hearted if we sell them.......and we're "That Guy" if we just hang onto them, sitting in our field. That suffering you're going through is why 'that guy' keeps all that stuff. Takes a strong man to let someone else enjoy the...

    Oshkosh P-4 Fire Crashtruck Preservation

    Weed Treatment I'm still trying to get the whole story on this but I think I blew it this time! When the big red thing, Jellybean the P4 showed up at the G749 farm we put it in it's own field so it wouldn't clash with the green iron. We seeded and fertilized over the past weeks and a few other...
