    Deuce dump in Victor, CO(gasser M47?)

    Saw this while on vacation in Colorado. Looks like it's in a town/county lot, 4th street in Victor, CO. Body wise it's in decent shape. Interior is rough. Didn't look under the hood. Only thing I saw missing was the dump body. The subframe, hoist, hydraulics, and PTO are all there. It's a...

    Deuces for sale in Missouri

    Saw these for sale while driving through, I-70, exit 41. Don't know anything about them, but there was a phone number. 816 682 2838. One truck has some different tires on it, one had a different turn signal lever, and there was a M332 trailer. Dennis

    Waste Oil Storage

    Had to pressure wash out the tanks I use also, they had a lot of sludge in them. Came out nice and clean inside.

    Flat towing a M817 for 600 miles

    to elaborate, Gimpy's talking about the axle shafts, that go to each wheel. Front is just hubs, rear is shafts. Might want to make up a cover on the rears to prevent gear oil from leaking. Only thing turning is the wheel bearings. Then you don't have to worry about the extra drag of the...

    Waste Oil Storage

    I use HHO tanks, mounted about 10 feet up, on a industrial pallet rack. Pump the oil in (in my case filtered) and then when I need it, open the valve on the bottom.

    Stretch's used oil centrifuge

    Don't know how many times the oil went through. Filtered oil is dumped in the top of a 55 drum, and siphoned out the bottom to be filtered again. Pump runs at .9 gpm, so one cycle thru should take just over a hour. Usually let it run overnight, about 8 hours. Thanks for some tech info...

    Loading it up

    I could tow the M108 to 50-55 on the flats. If the wind was blowing against me, only 45 in 4th(running 11.00 tires) Got the pump turned up some.

    Dang it!

    That would be a M422 mighty mite.... Not mine yet, just a down payment. I'll be picking it up in two weeks. Lots of pics and info when I do!

    Looked at an m38 today

    I'll take the civy stuff! I don't know, 6000 seems high, but restored M38's are much more.

    Stretch's used oil centrifuge

    The oil I get comes from a variety of sources, and is all mixed together for filtering. The water content/antifreeze content is not surprising, I've had to drain both from the bottom of some the oil. Fuel in the oil is a good thing for me! I had noticed the oil seemed thinner after...

    PTO Blew up

    Sounds like the pump dead-headed. Is there a pressure relief on the valve body or pump? On some systems if you partly engage the valve to raise or lower, if will block the pump. On a normal system, it's not a problem, the relief valve opens. If it doesn't open, instant locking of pump...

    What's bad about packing a torch? It has the caps on it, and is secured in the deuce bed. Umm, there's no OSHA when your not on working for someone. There is NO power. I will have a generator running, it's one of the new super quiet models. Like night and day compared to my old one...

    Stretch's Haspin road train

    See, I'm freaking safety dude compared to everyone else! Gotta love this hobby, were all a little nuts. O, the deuce was modified for this adventure. 12v prodigy brake controller for camper brakes, and reese hitch installed(done a while ago). Pretty neat on the controller, added a 24v relay...
