    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I have the misfortune to own one of those monster towbars complete with all the chains, air lines, feet & electrical connectors. When it was put into the container for storage, that was the last time it was moved & I can't move it anymore unless I do it with a truck or a small crane. Thought it...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    I put a sheet of building insulating foam panel of 1/2" or 3/4" thickness between the bows & the cover & that helps to shed the water quite well.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Auction ends lately with stupid high prices due to two or more guys that think that the item they are bidding on is the last one available & since the wife is not looking, they bid away till one gets cold feet; hence the insane pricing aftermath we see. Add instant financing from GP & you have...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    If you research the auctions, you will see that the latest lot of trailers come with a mix of wood, fiberglass & metal cover supports. The cover colors also are either tan or solid green & mostly new. To find kits or parts with out a trailer, have to go to the classifieds or a distributer who is...

    Hello everyone! New owner here!

    No, not asphalt grinding machines, but high quality metal milling machines. Cincinnati Milicron comes to mind IIFC. I have two Deuces & am putting the second one together to get her on the road after changing out the cab top & hydraulic button in the pump. Enjoy your truck as it will provide...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    There are about 70 units left to clear off the lot & they are all in good to excellent rebuild condition. Good luck to those who need one or more while they last.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    The towbar kits are not lightweight as they have an 84 k rating if I remember correctly. The weight of a single kit is 525 lbs on average, so shipping one is not going to be cheap. I bought half a dozen of these babies when they were offered & they work well. Moving them around is a different...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    That is part of a tow bar kit for the MTVR that I picked up a few years ago. Here is a picture of it.

    Post your H45 heater setups

    Mine are all still in the shipping boxes that they were put in when they were manufactured. Seems nobody wants these things anymore.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I picked up a complete hardtop for a Deuce @ the Bellview show this past weekend in great shape for $200.00 & a complete camo vinyl cover, bows & staves used a bit (unmatched), in a trade deal, for the same truck. Now the last Deuce is that much closer to getting on the road. The old top was...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    I picked up another M-105a2 for the herd with bows & cover in excellent rebuild condition only 15 miles from home. Will get to pick it up Monday after the rally in Bellview this weekend. After assembly of everything but the cover.

    MV of the Month nominations October 2018

    PB I will throw this one in the mix as it has never been submitted till this morning. 1996 M-1081 A matching M-1082 with a 5 ton cover.

    My 30 Cal 1919 Replica

    I liked it when you could get the 1919A4kits @ Knob Creek, Kentucky for $250.00 years ago & build you own as a dummy or as a live item. Those days are long gone. I have a fellow SS member around these parts who owns a M38a1 & he put a replica M-60 in his truck for display. The 1919a4 suits it...

    Proper trailer for 802A

    I have the 802A & 803A for it, so it is spoken for now as my hurricane backup.

    Start up after long time advice

    You are most likely closer to running than my Deuce due to a probable button that might have fallen off the hydraulic head before I got it; I still have to pull it to see. Good luck with your truck.

    Proper trailer for 802A

    A M-103A3 will hold two M-802A's & is lighter than a M-105A2.

    Start up after long time advice

    Watching this thread to get hints on getting my 2nd Deuce started. As the weather starts to cool down & no more hurricanes show up, one of us will get our trucks running first.

    Another ill conceived trip - 1500 miles in a HMMWV. KS to the FL/GA line

    GL Lost Surplus Contract

    I had an issue today with Gov Planet today during the morning auction that was almost a disaster for me. I will not put it out there as they fixed the issue as promised, so it is now not a problem; I did lose the auction that I so sorely wanted to get, but that is just my loss & another will...

    Just a simple camping trip

    Great use of an ex military piece of equipment. You have done a great job of making yours work. I am trying to get an electrical equipment unit like a 250 to go in a M-1102 trailer for camping during the military shows down here in Florida, they are tuff to find for a fair price. Post some more...
