Added another Deuce to the stable

[shannondeese]

On Saturday the 19th of January I hooked my old trailer to my trusty Bobbed A2 and headed to St. Augustine Fl to pick up another M35A3. This one was used to haul broccoli around one of the farms out there. There were two of them and I picked what I think was the best of the two. I might go get the other one later if its still there. As for now 4 deuces in the yard is enough I think. The pictures are of my two A'3s parked next to each other. The new A3 needs a little work but it fires right up and pulls strong. The Dog Bones for the rear suspension are all dry rotted and cracked so those are the first things to get changed along with all the fluids. Just another project to keep me busy.

Nice score! I like having new projects to work on... gets me out of bed in the morning

What did you have to give for the A3?

Broccoli farms, Onion farms.
These autos will never be let to die!

Nicely done, A good acquisition, The only problem I see...., Is..."Roofing over that space" to protect your collection.

I guess Deuces are like Potato Chips you cant just have one.......

My first A3 I paid $2126.00 for after taxes.. This one was way cheaper than that.

Nice Buy. I honestly miss my A2 but when the M923 showed up my better half made it clear something had to go.

I would love to get a 5 ton but in all reality the Deuce just fits me. I like the way they drive and sound. All the little things that a lot of people don’t like about them I love. The smell and feel of them going down the road be it paved or dirt just feels right. So for now I’ll stick with the Deuces. As for roofing the space for them That pole barn is 22 ft by 40 ft. I’m about to add another 14 ft to the front of it, so it’ll be 36 ft by 40 ft. The eves are 14 ft high. Perfect for deuces to lay around in the shade under.
