If John has the parts, you are better off buying from him because they will be cheaper. However, if there are parts you can't find, a place like Memphis Equipment has everything you might need to completely rebuild a transmission. I rebuilt a tranny some years ago and had to buy a lot of the...

I am not sure what you are looking at or when it will be available for pick-up, but consider the weather if the item won't be available for pickup soon. There were some 5 tons that came out of ME some years back it cost more to get trucks up to pick them up because of the snow.

Chris, there is a guy on this list who can produce the Seabeas stencil in paint mask. If you don't know who I am referring to, I will find out. I may even have the paint mask stencils for the doors and the below the tailgate if you can't find them.

Hey WAAYFAST, was your screen name originally WAYFASTCRACKPIPE or something like that? No offense intended if it was not, but I remember a guy with that screen name and I have not seen him around here recently. If you did change it, what prompted the change?

RDUKW (camo) or CLINTOGF (tan) are probably the cheapest. Check GMA Cover Corp. for comparison prices to see how much you are saving. If you want solid green, GMA is probably your best bet.

Brandon, I had no idea that parts were that scarce...and that expensive!

James, that is an M129A2C, right? I thought the M127s were flat bed trailers. If your trailer is indeed an M127, I guess I just learned something new! :-D

Lance, I have wondered the same thing...and especially on deuces where it looks like there might be an inch or two between the tire and the fender! Most guys who have them have commented on how they perform off-road, but their trucks are mainly empty.

Chris, you are doing a great job. I am sure the project often looks and feels intimidating. Keep your head up. You are restoring a truck like few of us in the hobby have!

Bob, do you need any help getting your field back in order? I would think some type of roller might be necessary to flatten the ruts. I would not worry much about the grass as field grass will come back, but the ruts need to be flatted or else you will have rumble strips there permanently...

Here are two potential drawbacks: First, are you concerned with accuracy (i.e., accurate in so far as the military used the rims on this truck)? If so, that would be a drawback as the HEMTT rims, as the name states, were made for the HEMTT. If historical accuracy is not important, and you are...

By the way, you need to update your signature to include your new prize!

Great save DEUCEMAN51! I am shocked at how clean it looks! I was expecting the worst when I read your description. Good luck!

I realize you were not TRYING to be offensive. I don't believe I took offense to your post as much as I felt a need to respond because you quoted me and suggested that people (I took that to mean me) who did not agree with paying this price really had no clue (I believe you said that we did...

You sound like you are the wise one and you are talking to a bunch of green hobbyists that just started out who try to cobble together pennies to afford that rusted out deuce. Trust me when I say I understand what you are saying about the GL auctions...and the DRMO auctions before them. I have...

It might have been the nicest tractor you have personally seen...assuming you inspected it. However, CUCVFAN is right...there have been nicer trucks. I suppose we are splitting hairs as all of the rebuilt tractors are nice. The price is what shocked me. Daniel, as you said, he paid a lot of...

The M818, while nice, went way too high. The same truck has been bringing between $3000 and $4800 for over a year now. Agreed...too rich for me, too. It would have been a nice get for like $4K.

Will Williams sell to civilians? I suppose I can find out by calling. Thanks!

Peter, you can get these off of any residue M809 series truck as they appear to have been standard on those trucks (at least every truck I have seen had them on it). Contact John Winslow in Halifax, NC (252-883-2509). He probably has a residue M809 sitting around from which you could pull...

Thanks, Wayne. Anyone know where you could find such a kit to upgrade the landing leg? Please PM me with any info if you know.
