The price is reasonable but be looking for rust in the cab areas and around windshield. Make sure it runs good and the transmission is doing what its supposed to. Make sure that your drive the truck for a bit to at least bring everything up to operating temp and you should hear the air purge...

If you have already tried all the movements in the shift lever and still nothing I would then get under neath and start looking at linkages looing all all the contact points for rust or zero lubrication. I would then have someone in the cab moving the shift lever again looing for any binding in...

You have and interesting plan and one that is shared by many! I have a couple comments concerning your request for thoughts. First if your going to be doing some traveling with this rig I would seriously consider a 5 ton 939 series over a Deuce, there is nothing wrong with a Deuce but they are...

I have not owned and MTV yet so I cannot help with the questions but when the day comes a 1083 is certainly on the list, great looking truck congrats on your purchase!

I live in ND and we still have REAL diesel fuel here, thankfully! I live on the border of ND and MN and you can sure tell the semis that came out of MN and likely fueled up with bio-diesel from MN, they are the ones parked along the interstate with gelled fuel systems. This really starts to...

Sounds like a good trip and congrats on the new truck! Recoveries are always interesting some more than others yours sounds about average, good looking truck and it appears that you have a very solid base to start building on, you will have fun in making the YOURS! And Andy is a very nice guy...

Wiggall there are TMs on this site free to use by all of us I would suggest you give them a look it will cover everything you are asking!

When iver I have to move tires like this I always cheat and use the tractor, Hydraulics over brawn wins everytime!

Obviously you know the 925 is not an LMTV, The big difference between the two is the number of years of their age. The 939 series trucks (925) run diesel engines the early ones all ran 855 series Cummins very easy to work on and extremely reliable and parts are generally very easy to get. One...

Well lets see on My 925A1 I changed the oil and greased the chassis ordered and am installing a new O-Ring in my spare will get that remounted tomorrow Grease the leads on the winch and brought all the tires up to 75 PSI. Next week the truck will make it yearly trip to the lake house to pull...

The gauges on these trucks can be pretty inaccurate at times, remember how old things are. I would invest in a electronic thermometer where you just point the red laser at what you want to know the temp and pull the trigger and you get a digital readout they will work good for you to verify the...

I store my Deuce every year and sometimes 2 years at a time the only thing I do is put a trickle charger on the batteries, make sure your coolant is up to stand whatever the temp gets down to without freezing and keep the critters out. Dont start the truck till your ready to get it out for the...

If nobody has this information you may need to just tear the gearbox down and document all the bearing/race numbers and all the seal numbers and order them all before reassembly time. If I had the transmission that far apart I would opt for a fulle rebuild at that time and replace all the...

I live in ND and yes its VERY cold and we get lots of snow ans Ice almost every year. I will tell you my thoughts. If you look at the A2 and the A3 they are just about the same truck with a few different ways in which they get the job done. The biggest and number one BAD thing for ice and...

Gardy the metal shell connectors though very effective for their day there are much better ways to do it today! There are some folks who want everything as it was in the time the truck was built, I am not one of them! The quality of the wiring products today is so much better than even 10...

I had a good line on a 206 a number of years ago and didnt commit to it soon enough and it was sold, have always wanted and admired them! I live in ND and as you might expect we get lots of snow in the winter and it has been known to get chilly at times -20 to -30 for a few weeks at a time...

I owned a 123 for about a month and a buddy who was restoring another wanted mine for parts and he offered twice what I paid so it was gone. There is just something about the BIG MACs that is hard to say no to!

The rules in ND state that farm fuel/red dye offroad fuel can be run in any tractors , swathers or any off road farm equipment and this does NOT include farm trucks that haul the crops from the field, they are on road vehicles and are required to use fuel that has the road tax.

Hello Tailwheel I bought a U1300L from the Unimog Center in NH from George Bull he owns the company and GREAT guy very honest and delivered exactly what he said he had! In talking with George importation can be a tricky deal and you have to have someone on the originating side that knows what...

I sure dont want to rain on your parade here and the Deuce is a great truck WITH KNOWN LIMITATIONS! Speed, increase tire size will hurt the trucks already limited ability to climb hill at any kind of highway speed, and its already very limited with stock tires. You are going to have a LOT of...
