Uses for Deuces

[M37M35]

Same place that had the Mayflower trailer had this truck box. They said I could have it if I could haul it off. Sold! Used the boom on the deuce to drag it onto the trailer.

With some extra time on my hands, I've been compiling some of the pictures off my phone. How many more do y'all want to see? I don't want to take over the thread!

Another semi trailer. It had been pulled in next to a building years ago. Had to maneuver around a very tight corner to hook on to it! I'm seriously thinking about adding power steering after that 17 point turn, cause my arms were sore for a week! Finally got hooked on to it and moved it out in the open.

Good Job !

That big box makes the Deuce look kida tiny.

Keep 'em comin' ! So long as there s Deuce being USED it's not a hijacking of the thread, just adding content.

Builds character!

That's why it's called ARMSTRONG STEERING.....

Builds character!

And chiropractor bills!

Another one of those 'you can have it if you haul it off'.

A big boat strapped to the back of a deuce gets some interesting looks...





They used to be nice Kubota tractors before the barn burned down. One was near new.

M37M35 - You have one heck of a nice truck. I’m enjoying the pictures!

M37M35 - Nice truck!
I see that you have a 5th wheel in some of the pics and a flatbed in others, did you change it at some point?

The knuckle boom/ 5th wheel is the other combo I'm wanting in the future.

These last few pages are really driving home how useful a crane truck can be!

That last shot, it's a pretty good "stretch":

- Did you make that pick without needing any outriggers, or am I just not seeing them ?

Thanks! I love the truck and get tons of use out of it!. Another member on here built it years ago, and later sold it. It got passed around to a couple other members before I bought it.

It had the flatbed on it when I bought it, but I needed to be able to move semi trailers around. I found the 5th wheel plate and drilled the holes for it, so I can just swap whichever one I need with the crane. It's just a matter of unbolting one and bolting the other on. Takes less than an hour to switch back and forth.

The passenger side outrigger is down, hidden by the wall.

Haha, yeah she gets a break now and then! She's actually down for maintenance right now, since this virus has given me some extra time to work on projects, and post pictures!
