Hey everyone,

I just signed up on this site. I live on a dairy farm in upstate ny and we have a 1970 Deuce and Half. It is such a practical and fun vehicle and is worth its weight in gold. I cant wait to learn more about it and share my pictures and experiences with everyone here.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Nate

Nate, where in upstate NY are you located? My parents own about 100 acres in Cherry Valley, about 45 minutes from Cooperstown.

We live in Franklin, which is near Oneonta.

Hello Nate. Good to have you here. Are you ashamed of where you live or are you worried about the guys with the black helicopters finding you?

I hope to see you around.

Lance

welcome nate. Holstein cows I presume or something less common? Sorry next to MV's and airplanes, agriculture is my next favorite interest. we use wore out dairy cows as nurse cows.

We have jerseys and jersey crosses. Its a small farm, we milk around 30. But thats more than enough reasons to "justify" a Deuce I will try to have pics up this weekend. Where did my fellow New Yorkers get their deuces. Ours came from brackney, PA.

Jerseys are my wifes favorite cow. and around here there is no reason to "justify" owning a deuce.

Thanks everyone. Hope you all had a good Thanksgiving. I will try to get some pictures up soon. We are trying to get the Deuce ready for winter, so I will snap some pics while we are working on it.

Welcome, nnero. I'm almost in Syracuse. We should have a NY gathering sometime. All I need is a Deuce (or a 5 ton)!

 

[CSX90]

Hmm.. a upstate NY gather sounds neat.. Tug hill?

Welcome to the site CSX90. Saw your truck up at JT's today - we just ran up to Watertown today to pick up my two m35a3's.

Sorry to hear that DMV jerked you around - that tends to be the status quo for NY and it is completely dependent upon which DMV location you go to (and which clerk you get). It takes about three trucks to completely get the DMV process down (and to know which clerk to get). ( Dont worry, the next two trucks usually follow the first in quick succession!!!!! )

If you're ever over towards Albany come on by and see my small motor pool of deuces - I only have about 1/10 of what JATONKA has!!!

 

[CSX90]

Should have the DMV situtation down... was JT pretty run down from my truck.. he is REALLY taking care of me.

We had no problems with the DMV, we transferred the commercial plates from my dads F-250. The insurance was a PITA. Since there was no truck like the deuce in their computer we were there for 2 hours and the people there were clueless. They gave a commercial insurance policy which is expensive. We have to switch sometime.
