My New M35 tractor and trailer

[yetti96]

Ok 2.5 dumb questions, 1a) Why are so many guys infatuated with tractors? 1b) I see the trailer towing appeal, but what goes on that trailer, looks like a container of some sorts?
2) Is that a leaking brake in the 8th pic, or was it recently washed and there was still water dripping?

Sweet! Did you make that tractor? I want to create something similiar, converting a standard M35A2 cargo to a tractor and I have a M818 fifth wheel plate lined up from pctrans. I just need to figure out how to mount that fifth wheel on the frame of the deuce.

My only worry is you have the spare tire rack backwards. Is there a reason you did that? Swapping tires to fix a flat may put you in harm's way with it like that.

That explains the reason later tractors had them on the passenger side.

Great Job! I was going to do this some time ago to a deuce but now that I have a m818 it's kind of redundent.

After you trick out your tractor you should make a custom lowboy to haul the now famous bobbed Deuce around on. That way you don't have to choose which one to take on a ride. You can just take them both .

I was always told you want to face the ring of a spare tire mounted behind the cab facing towards the trailer, just in case something bad happens. Will the spare fit in the mount this direction?

EDIT: Nevermind - I looked at the picture and saw that the tire is mounted in the correct direction.

I was going to make them but buying some is the way to go thanks

I got the ones that came off my 818 you can have them.

To answer yetti95's question. I use my tractor as a jeep in the mountains all the time. With the top off the visibility is fantastic. We go to the sub shop and grab some items and off we go. Strap a couple of lawn chairs to the deck and you are all set for a nice ride. Oh! ya Make sure you add a spring ride seat on the passengers side as it makes the real boss a lot better rider. In the pics the top is up because rain was forecast for the afternoon.

lol Maccus I cant get my wife to take a ride in my bobbed Deuce and it has air ride seats and carpet there is noway I will ever get her to ride in this truck

it already has a generator look at the picture of the front the 2 stacks coming out are for the generator

 

[brianrbull]

Please correct me if I am wrong, But I believe the 2 stacks you are reffering to are for the Fuel Burning Heaters in that expansible trailer. Or have you already modified it and installed a Genset?

 

[srodocker]

AHH hehe nice...

yes you would be correct they were for the Fuel Burning heaters but they were missing so the guy I got it from modded it for the Genset
