Glad to hear someone bought that deuce. I was the second bidder on a earlier auction, the top bidder never showed. It was too far for me to go get, and too much time. Found one locally. Sounds like it is in good hands, have fun!

Running like a champ. Had some issues with fuel starvation, primary filter was acting funny. Got all filters changed, winch is ready to go. Just installed the tarp and bows today. Still need to replace the drive boots, they have a little cut in the one side. Have a new emergency cable to...

Saw this one on ebay yesterday, was at 50.00 Was wondering if you got your truck running. Roger didn't have a pump? Dennis ebay pump

Got to love left hand threads. Looked at my truck and saw them, but did I think of that when I tried to change a tire? No..... I had some REALLY tight lugnuts when I realized I was going the wrong direction. Managed to break a 3/4 breaker bar getting them back loose. I have swapped hubs on...

I had some problems with my deuce, I recently pulled tank and cleaned, changed all filters, cleaned pump, and changed oil. When I got it back together, it would run, then once it was warmed up, it ran great, then died. I opened the bleeder on the fuel filters and no fuel. So I started to...

Thanks for the warning on the cable break, I do a lot of rigging at work, and have witnessed broken chains, straps, and slipped parts. It is always a good idea to stay out of the way when putting a load on anything. I got the cable seated, took a while to figure out exactly what I was...

Thanks for the info guys, I will take it into work and use our big hand press to press it out then. I was trying to pry out the plug, and no go. Dennis

When I got my deuce, it had a cable on the winch, but no end on it, just a bare cable. I have the clevis that goes on the end of the cable, I cut it off another winch. When I took the clevis apart, I found a brass plug that the cable wraps around, but can't seem to figure out a way to get the...

Looked at the web site, looks like a nice place. I will already be off work, about a 6 hour drive, so I am going to try and make it. I will proably tow the camper, anywhere I can get a 24v to 12v transformer for the lights?.... Hmmmm....Maybe use the camper's battery, and get some 24v relays...

He told me he only sells parts to people that have bought trucks from him. Dennis

Went to london, ohio, and bought a deuce from Roger. I orginally went there yesterday to look at a tool of his, and ended up buying a truck. Drove it home today, was putting out some black smoke for about 25 miles, and then the turbo kicked in and away we went! About 100 mile drive, and not...

Thanks for the info guys. He had a overwidth 5 tonner, and some standard ones, they were too big for me. I go today to pick up a 2.5 from roger in london, ohio. When I get time I will list some pics and prices of what I found in Cincinatti(bad speller :confused: ) in the for sale forum. Dennis

Here is an idea that might work for shop van owners. In ohio, if you install a bed, table, stove, and icebox, you can get your title coverted to an RV title. Plates are about 45 a year, and insurance was about 150 a year for liability only. I put a small folding table, turned a couple of...

Well, I always wanted a CDL! The one on ebay I may still get, but this guy is closer, and cheaper, need to get down there and take a look at them. Sounds like I will end up with a 2.5, the 5 ton weighs too much for me. If and when I look at the trucks I will tell you what he has, says he has...

I am supposed to go look at some deuces over the weekend, some are 2.5 and some are 5 ton trucks. If the money is not that different, any reason to get a 2.5 when I can get a 5 ton? Thanks Dennis

I think I see how to plumb the towed deuce. For metered air from the tow vechicle, in this case my bus, would I just tee into a brake line? I might have a unused port on the brake valve that is metered.

Hey Bomar 76, I did see you were pretty close, if I do get my deuce, I will stop by. Thinking of crazy ideas for getting home, will more than likely attach a tow bar to the front of my truck and use the duece to take it home. If I could figure out how to hook the air brakes on my bus to the...

Dang... profile shows modifed sig, maybe takes a while to update? I am in Mansfield Ohio, pretty close to some of you guys.

I modifed my sig, should show location now. Thanks for the info on reselling. I will let every know if or when I get it, and how the 600 mile trip home goes. Any know the number of pins on a military trailer plug, and what each pin is for? Dennis

If I remember right, you can't sell a deuce out of country. I am hoping it is true... I bidded on a deuce on ebay, and was outbidded by a guy from italy! The seller says I most likely won, he doesn't expect to ship a truck to italy. Here is a link to the auction, not sure if I can post it...
