Deuce in the wild...

[mangus580]

Since I know how everyone loves pics.... heres a few of yestardays adventures. I will link in a couple vids when they upload too.

I had to go to my uncles cabin about 1.25 hours away. My TD6 Bulldozer is down there, and it needed its starter put back in, and some minor maintenance. The dozer has lived there for the past 2 years. We took it down in the bed of the deuce.... and not really sure we want to bring it home like that!

I figured I might as well take the deuce, and the woodsplitter, to make the trip worth my time I arrived about noon, and managed to get the starter in, track back on, radiator topped off on teh dozer.... and cut/split the load of wood in the pics before it got dark. I will say... I need to put a hitch on the back of the deuce that can tow the splitter... unloading it out of the back sux. All in all, it was a fun trip, albeit a little chilly... As you can see the copilot even had a blanket to keep him warm.

BTW, it was opening day of deer season. By the time I got there, 3 had already been shot. Dad got his within the first 'minute' of the season.

Thanks for the great post I miss America but Korea is pretty too, just the MV's all belong to Uncle or the ROK.

Does the dozer run Like to see some pictures of it pushing gravel or dirt.

Nice to have an abundant supply of firewood too and seeing it in the duece makes me homesick

Love the car seat, I do the same thing with mine and use ratchet binders to hold the seat in.

Thanks for the pics. That little crawler needs some shelter out there. Your splitter and conveyor system are pretty nifty. How did you get the dozer in and out of the bed?

Here is a pic of my little precious

I found the right bank to back up to....

The boy has been riding in the deuce since he was like 6 months old. My next challenge is going to be adding a 3rd seatbelt and putting two kid seats in!!

Hi Mike, looks great! Does dad have a doe permit for the rest of the season? Your boy is getting big.

Great pics ... love the grin on your sons face... bet he loves riding in the truck with dad. you are building some great memories with your boy ... still fondly remember all the adventures my dad took me along on when he was restoring his Model A (60's) and we would go parts hunting. Well done

 

[mangus580]

Started him WAY early....

This pic he is 2 months old, a few days after I got the deuce home (was actually Xmas day...)
