The Hog Truck is Alive Found time to work on the Hog Truck, pulled the pump, as everyone said the bottom of the pump housing had fallen off! Replaced the pump and had my brother in law help in the cab as I tried to stand by with a board to kill the air to the engine and bleed the filters as we...

Welcome Welcome aboard, being in OK city you are in a good location for MV collecting, you have Norman and Goldsby within 30 min. drive, should be no problem getting a machine! James

I have found the wrecker is versitle but is little help digging footings for the new shop, I need a backhoe and I found one about 45 min. away, it is a Ford 3400, what should I look for in a well used backhoe, I guess it is a 70's model, "but in real good shape. very tight" Any pointers are...

Count me in I will trailer the truck in if I have to this time. James G.

Short TIme line The shorter time line was because they had a reserve on the sale, and no one contacted me about it. When I called about it they told me that I could have it for my bid if I wanted it! They would just move the reserve down to my bid? I asked why a reserve if they were just...

Was a Larger Winch There was a much larger aluminum winch near this one but it must have been hauled away for scrap? It looked larger that the 45K drag winch on my wrecker, someone was much man to move that monster, it had to weigh 3-4 hundred pounds and in a really inaccessible location...

The Move GL got pretty pushy about me moving the Deuce(8 Day from end of Auction!) So I flat hauled it to my storage place. They are normally pretty picky about what they allow on the property, it is a pretty nice place. Turns out the guy running it was one of the officers in charge of...

Slow My 543 is slow and underpowered, I flat towed a Deuce yesterday and any hill was a real problem. They are fun to play with and they can go cross country(slowly) and I like mine alot! James G.

The tool layout is too large to scan, it folds out to be pretty large, and really stinks, it's printed on some kind of oil cloth. James G.

My deuce came with a tool layout diagram, it looks like a standard mechanics tool set, I will see if I can get a decent photo of it. Mine came with a decent set but not any where near what is on the the layout sheet. James G.

GSA is going to be on me this week, I need a fuel pump for a M35A2, used if available and a quick ship! James G.

Turns but Won't Start Well, preped the Deuce, new fuel, new filters, new batteries, turns over great, but no sound of a fuel pump and no fuel, check the fuse, no fuse, replaced the fuse, still no running sound and no fuel? I may have found why it was parked in the tree line, even though both...

$ Not counting my chicks before they hatch but, I have 38 gallons of really good looking diesel out of the truck and I already have someone asking about buying the tank! I have been checking around but still no idea of a price on the tank? I am guessing its about 3000 lbs so it worth a...

Home Grown The top is home made but done very well, I need to see how hard it will be to replace, doesn't look like a lot of welding to keep it on, it is anchored to the canvas top supports, very sturdy! I am hoping it will start, brake pedal goes all the way to the floor, so I will need the...

Clean Up The hog farm deuce is cleaning up real nice, no rust, pulled 30 gallons of good looking 5 year old diesel so far and maybe another 10-12 to go. really nice hydraulic system pump, tank and motor! Going to try and start it today, maybe. James G.

MikeOn I have some photos of the pto /pump setup at home I will post tomorrow, as for the tires it looks like a different one on every wheel! I have a full set of 11X20's for my wrecker, would 11X20's rub on the rear in a stock setup on the Deuce? James G.

The Tank The tank is in good shape and they did a good job of building a base and then bolting the base to the frame rails, so no welding to the frame! I intend pulling it off and hauling it down to the live stock auction barn to see if I can at least get what I paid for the truck out of it...

Got a new Deuce from GSA and the University of Arkansas Swine Farm! The truck was rebuilt in '88 and now has 6600 miles on it, down side is it has a big Honey Dew Tank on it so no bed and it has been sitting in a tree line for six years, up side it has a big hydraulic system driven by the stock...

All to no avail, outbid again, most went for over $600, of course it is hard to tell since GL no longer adds them to your bid history. James G.

I found out the level hitch weight is 250 lbs., downward angle would increase that a good bid I would think. My hitch will load level up to 800 lbs, but I think my Armada is lower than your pickup. James G.
