    M275 A2 tractor value

    Sermis, If you don't buy it I will. Let me know if you are going to get it or not. I would put the price at $2k max. Not a high demand for them.

    Radiator cap drain tube - check it

    Probably mineral deposits from the coolant and not corrosion. Use distilled water instead of tap water and you won't have this problem.

    2.5ton vs 5ton axles

    RE: I wasn The 2.5 ton deuce rating is offroad. On-road rating is 5 ton (or thereabouts), consistent with the axle rating. I wouldn't hesitate to put 2 tons on a bobbed duece. Just make sure the tires are up to the load and not cracked and dry-rotted.

    Foamy differential oil v. bubble-less

    Where to get Michelin XL and XML family tires?
