Buying my first Deuce

[minidude0]

Well, I registered after seeing all these people with awesome war machines. And after looking at some many, I am looking to pick up my own. Being a noob, I don't know nearly anything about the Deuce, so I am hoping you guys/gals can give me some information. These are some of the things I'm looking for...

-5 Grand or under
-Near Ohio (United States)
-Something that is a project but doesn't require years to work.

From you guys I'd like
-Some information on what it should include
-Just some stuff that might go wrong...
-Information that every Deuce owner should know.
Thanks in advance
~Mini

I have been hanging around here for a few months now and am also looking forward to getting a deuce. The biggest reccomendation i see given around here is the SEARCH function. That should answer a lot of questions. Failing that just go the the deuce forum section and start reading, in a few hours time you will have a much better grasp of the truck, if it happens to a deuce i'm sure it's in there. In reading TONS of posts i can say that your list looks entirely realistic, IMO you ought be able to find something in pretty nice shape for that kind of money.

 

[minidude0]

Any recommended threads or posts that give alot of information?

I'd go to the deuce forum and read all the stickys. Then I'd go to the TM section and download TM 9-2320-361-10 and TM 9-2320-361-20 for starters. That will give you lots to read and get started.

Where in Ohio? Are you looking for an m35 series only? I know where an xm211 is at for a decent price.

At the top of the deuce forum, there are some stickies..read them. Download at least the TM 9-2320-361-10 operators manual and read that. Shop around and, if possible, have someone who has a bit of knowledge on what you wanna get go with you to check it out. Use the member locator map and see if someone is close. Ask questions..no question is dumb, you learn new things daily. Don't be afraid to ask for help.
BTW, welcome!

my reaction: WTF are you talkin bout?

I live in Ashland county, Northern Ohio.

And where can I download this manual?

I have a very clean deuce for sale in Ohio, right gimp!

 

[gimpyrobb]

Well thats why I was asking. Some people want a slant nose and some want an M35. Kip's deuce is very nice. Why he doesn't post a link to his classified add is beyond me.

 

[gimpyrobb]

An M35 deuce looks like WillWangner's avitar.

It's not like I have been on this site all that long but gimpyrobb asked a simple question.
kipman, oifvet, gimpyrobb and myself are all in Ohio and are willing to help.

Ashland is close to Adelman's but like kipman says, he has a clean one for sale.

Because I am all thumbs.

 

[minidude0]

I'm looking for something like this... http://cgi.govliquidation.com/auction/view?auctionId=1639140

Except they don't sell to individuals.

 

[gimpyrobb]

That is an m35a3. Yes they DO sell to individuals.

 

[kipman]

Not for 5 grand your not, these go for much more.

 

[gimpyrobb]

If you click on "Forum" in the grey bar at the top of the page, then scroll down, you will find the gov liquidation section. There is lots for you to read there.

 

[oifvet]

kipman's deuce will be a whole lot cheaper than that A3 will go for! A WHOLE lot! Get with him. I've seen the truck. It's nice!

 

[minidude0]

Hmm, I'll try, with work and school, it is hard for me to make time.

 

[gimpyrobb]

Yeah, missed that 5k part.

 

[minidude0]

Yeah, missed that 5k part.

Do you want 5k+ for yours?
