Is that a chevy v8? Great looking truck.

will you use the same heat transfer box as the regular heater or did you have something else in mind? It does not seem to me that the original heater put out that much heat.

Good looking work. What will your thermal source be?

Very nice looking trucks. Look fresh from a base somewhere. One even appears to have antennae's mounted. Can you give us an details on your acquisition?

Howdy and welcome from the North end of the front range! Ought to be an interesting project.

Howdy and welcome from Colorado. Hope you have a great drive on the recovery. Sounds like a real adventure. Let us know how you do and post some pics when you get a chance!

I can certainly understand the OP's desire to know the numbers but, for me, I enjoy my Deuce regardless. I don't particularly care how others value it, or how many like it there are. I will likely have it till I die. If its worth a zillion dollars or zero. Tons of people have used motor oil...

Been trying to research mine as well. Once the sun comes up I will go get the complete "vin" number. 4J8666 M275 (deuce tractor)

Howdy and welcome from Colorado! Definitely some good resources and info here. Give the search function a try for your Maint questions. Someone may have already had that issue and worked through it. Enjoy.

Excellent repurpose of MV parts. That has got to be one heavy potbelly/outdoor fire box. Bet it holds heat for a while

haha

As the length of cable on the winch drum is somewhat limited I imagine they decided to just pull it with the truck, as it looks like they moved the bow quite a ways to give cranes and the new steel room to maneuver.

Like you say, regardless of what it weighs, still an impressive site to see such a small truck (relatively) pulling such a gigantic object. On the other end of the spectrum, I wonder how well the brakes work? I would imagine the assembly area must be dead flat. Just watching one of these...

I wonder what the combined carry and tow weight is? That really defines " finding new uses for ex military vehicles" Thanks for the post!

Enjoyment galore. crew chief 71-73. thanks

Howdy and welcome from Colorado! I take it CT is your home town and your presently of country??

My mom was from Springfield, but she does not live there anymore. So, nevermind. carryon.

Howdy and welcome from Colorado! When you get a chance, post up some pics of the new ride please!

Howdy and welcome from Colorado! Certainly lots to learn and share.

Looks great! Does it have a grate in the bottom? The scorpions definitely give it that southwest flair!
