    GL Gripes....

    I read that fine print before I ever placed a bid. I didn't feel it was "hidden", but you should read the FAQ section before you bid. I took advice from people here and it worked well. Set a maximum price you are willing to pay for a vehicle and set it to autobid. If you win, great. If not...

    Big boy tools for deuce

    OK, So I am probably three months away from delivery of my first deuce. Now I need some help with tools. I did search but didn't find much more than a tool per thread. Haven't found anything like a good "starter kit" for newbs. I know that TM 10-1 has a list of tools at the end, but many...

    I think I own two deuces!

    $3711 before taxes and 10%. However, for my overall budget I included 10% from GL, 7% sales tax (NJ), $155.50 for two sf-97's and $870 for hauling. Spoke with Eric today from Hot Shot and he'll haul them both for $800. All said, I am right where I expected to be. At these prices, how can you...

    I think I own two deuces!

    Thank you! I grew up in Toms River (what can i say i love rivers) so I know your area well. Do you do the Pine Barrens runs? Clinto told me about those. Sounds like a blast. I'll be keeping the deuces about 3 hours north of here, but I'd love to take one to the pine barrens or Island Beach...

    I think I own two deuces!

    Ha, I wasn't even a member here for more than a week or two before I read your thread. Keeping my trucks up in PA, it was interesting. This past weekend I was up in the house in PA and we had our first snow. I was picturing that dump truck having to pull me out of a ditch. Your vid was...

    The Deuce A2 or A3?

    Man, I was here two months ago too. A2 or A3? I love that the A3's all have heat and the larger tires because one of my deuces will be a snow plow. I actually like the look of the A3 too. I didn't mind the automatic and although everyone has an opinion on the Cat engine, the theme I saw...

    I think I own two deuces!

    Thank YOU! I mean that sincerely. Your help with the whole buying process for a clueless deuce newb was generous and invaluable!

    I think I own two deuces!

    The winch deuce was a must. I'm hoping that truck just needs brakes, guages and batteries, but with gl, I've heard it's a crap shoot. Either way, with the winch being worth $1k it's like getting the truck for $851. I pm'd you my info. Definitely be interested in helping each other out if the...

    I think I own two deuces!

    pm'd Thanks Albert, I know I'm gonna feel the same haha. Right now I'm happy that I have time to figure out the logistics, find transport, and get some new tools. However, I know after the first month I'm going to be going nuts waiting.

    I think I own two deuces!

    That was a very nice one (as far as we can trust gl). It starts, it's clean, good mileage, heat, nice paint etc. I didn't bid on that one, but I was close. Congrats!

    I think I own two deuces!

    Couple of reasons I got two. First, in a worst case scenario, I may need parts from both to make one good truck. Secondly, I'm keeping them in Lake Como, PA which is in a nice snow belt. Eventually I want one as a beater for plowing and reocovery and the other for show. Finally, my wife is...

    I think I own two deuces!

    The auction is over (gl) and they show up in my bid history as "High bidder". Is it pretty much a done deal? If so, now the fun begins!!! I have never had an EUC, so I realize I won't be getting them until March / April. Did anybody here check out the deuces at Mechanicsburg? Both trucks...

    Albert, thanks for trying! Thank you sir for what appears to be a fine copy. I am printing it as we speak. I'm not sure whether posting the link I received violates the rules, but I have a good copy of the tm if anyone wants it. PM me. Maybe we can get a Mod to add the good copy to the FAQ...

    LAWS for passengers in the back??

    i saw someone on here who had seatbelts installed on the troop seats because he used his deuce for the boyscouts... i would be too worried about the liability to even consider that... you better have an insurance policy for a few million $$$... god forbid you have an accident, or even jam the...

    hey guys, thanks... just an fyi, i got the file directly off the cd from Albert (m35a2-az) this morning and it has the same problem. So, it looks like all the copies i have found may have originated from the cd... if you open the tm in adobe acrobat reader and click the "pages" icon on the...

    Does anyone have a good copy of TM 9-2320-209-20-2-2 for download? The copy that is listed in the FAQ section, as well as the one from the original ss site have some corrupt pages, 19 (26-9) and 40 (26-31) to name a few. I have searched Google and the only "free" versions all appear to come...
