Nice looking truck & welcome aboard to the Green Iron Laughing Academy. Seems like you have all your ducks in a row so far with the purchase & recovery of your first truck. Post up some more pictures as you get her fixed up & running. Good luck with all!

Welcome from North Florida. Post some pictures when you get a chance & download the TM's so you can have reading material to let you know how they all work!

Congratulations on making the trip home safely with just the few problems that you faced. Maybe there is some teflon in your mettle. You proved some of us wrong...

Well, then you are about ten miles from me right now on the other side of Gainesville. Weather is cloudy & 47 degrees, but hasn't started raining yet. Good luck with the recovery thru my/our area & on to Orlando where is should be warmer & dryer. Glad you got the leak slowed down to a slight...

You pulled that out of a pasture? Was it under a cover, out in the pasture? It looks to be be in really good shape from your pictures! Welcome to the Green Iron Laughing Academy, pull up a chair & read your TM's on your truck. There are alot of good men here who can advise you on many issues...

If you limped in, checking the master cylinder often; you might make it. If the wheel cylinder takes a dump on an emergency stop for anything along the way...it could be a really bad day for you or who you might run into. Porkysplace is right, leaking brakes are the same as no brakes. Lady Luck...

I drove a Deuce recovery thru Atlanta this past summer & it was worst thing with the traffic jams, people cutting in front of me & running the clutch & brakes trying not to hit people who thought of the Deuce as just another truck. The worst part was being routed on the East bypass @ around 5:00...

If you have any room to spare, you might want to see if anybody on the board has anything coming to Florida from GL in Oklahoma City. It would help with your fuel costs.

I have one NIB, but have never run it as it is a collectable item for me.

Welcome aboard from Florida.

Good looking truck & you have already found good things to do with it. Welcome to the Green Iron disease & you already figured out that you can't have just one!

Welcome from North Florida! You a very fine looking truck there, hope its mechanical shape is as good as it looks.

None of the M1102's (2009-2011) I have towed had any bouncing problems during the 200 to 300+ miles recoveries except on two short concrete bridges close to home. These are the old concrete bridges that make your truck bounce going over them @ legal speed & when the trailers are towed empty over...

No manners again,sorry, welcome to the Green Iron Laughing Academy. Pull up a chair & see what you can learn. That truck of yours looks like mine except for all the white stuff around it! Nice looking truck, hope it gives you loads of fun!

If you want to see where you are backing into, a single or set of 24v lamp fixtures of your choice, attached to a switch/relay will let you see what you are running into. Gimpy stated some good ideas also. My idea was to get a lamp fixture here & wire it into the system, with a switch in the...

PM sent porkysplace...

If you take worn muffler bearings & apply several buckets of steam; the muffler bearings tend to swell enough to stop the leaks & fix the clutch slippage. The secret is to hold the shaft with a left handed monkey wrench till the swelling is just enough to stop the leak. If you wait too long, the...

Yes, That is Brian, who is lilgiff's younger brother. I only met him once @ lilgiff's house in Belleview, a very nice guy...

Yes, lilgiff passed away last summer from cancer. He was a member here & is responsible for several people, myself included, getting into the Green Iron disease starting with the M35A2's...

Thanks & you are terribly missed in this life. May God have you in his right hand now!
