Not really. Gear oil has to "flow" in order to disperse the heat. Otherwise it just gets hot and thin. In the case of a deuce, the gear oil just saturates the bearings, but does not return to the gear housing to cool. When it finally thins the grease, the bearings run to hot.

So, where can we get a Ghillie suit for our deuces? In all seriousness, that is a shame.

Does the A3 still have the A2 serial number on the frame, or do they remove them during the rebuild?

How were they not leaking? Or were they? I'm with HeavySteven, I would check the front axles.

That's where the flux capacitor was mounted on the M35s. They stopped installing them and took them all off when someone finally realized the truck only goes 56 miles an hour. Not fast enough to make the time jump.

If you are looking at one in private hands, and it does not have a title, I would get the numbers off of it and give CARNAC a PM.

Makes me want to sit at a dangerous intersection with a camera.

Yes.

We started with a 5 ton (XM817) and a couple of water buffalo, now 2 M35s later......

Yeah, I think that one is going to take more than some fresh fuel and a couple of hot batteries. Great find though.

In the vintage and antique truck restoration world, we just call them tailgate chain covers. Bicycle inner tubes make great ones, not authentic, but they work well. The problem with the Deuce is they have a welded link on the hook end, and the last link is welded to the truck. That's why the...

I don't have a fork truck, but I have a commercial address and loading dock near Mount Sterling. I am back and forth between here and Lexington a lot. I wouldn't care to drop them off. Added note: I do have a backhoe, if it's needed to unload/load.

I wish I could make it, but I"m booked that weekend. (work) I grew up in Berea (some would dispute that) and lived there until the ripe old age of 35. Most of my friends and family are there. It's a great little town. Again, I wish I could do it, but it's one of the few weekends in the spring...

Actually, it looks like a pretty good truck at a pretty good price. Of course, without hearing it run and seeing it in person, that is just a first impression. The engine looks pretty dry for a 40 year old truck. They probably cleaned it, so there may be some leaks that show themselves later...

A KY welcome Welcome Sharecropper. I'm not far away, near Mount Sterling.

Isn't the M923 similar to the M925, just without a winch?

Yes, yes. Pics are always a good thing.

It seems all of his trucks turn out awesome. I still think a 6 passenger utility vehicle would be cool. But maybe that's just me.

The problem with that strategy is if the buddy doing the bidding up crosses the reserve barrier, eBay is going to want their cut. Unless, of course, the poster pulls the auction before it ends. eBay is not a bit shy about asking for their money.

Welcome You're about an hour and a half (2 hours and 15 minutes by deuce) from me. I'm on the other side of I-75. Congrats on the "new" truck.
