I just use it to plow at my house for now. I am adding a electric/hydraulic crane to the bed of it soon though. It will get out to work getting firewood this year though!
Thanks for your service brother 👍🇺🇸 I almost snagged one at an auction for $400 ! I didn’t have the money dammit lol. Mama would have shit if I came wheeling up in one of these ol’ girls
I hope you found a way around the dreaded Hydrovac brake system. Every thing else about a duce n a half in outstanding/unstoppable. Nothing in the world sound quite as good as that turbo winding up.
That reminds me of my Great Uncle Bill KA7KMD who had 2 Army trucks Beauty & Beast, and he used to plow the roads around the cabins off Hwy 12 by Silver Cove. 73, Drew KG7SXF
I'd love to get an old M35 someday....prices have gone up a lot in the past few years though unfortunately putting them way out of my budget. Where I'm at we don't get enough snow to need a truck like that to plow with but I just want an M35 LOL. M35 with the multi-fuel engine would be great. Got to drive one a few times before they got replaced with the LMTV, and MTV...not even close in comparison to the old M35's. Did you get yours from Idaho Motor Pool in Fruitland?
That Deuce was not even breathing hard. They sure were made to last, weren't they. Can we say the same today for so many throw away items? Nice calming Video. I liked it !
I had a V plow that was about 5' tall. M favorite plow rig is a Michigan 280. That is a lot of snow, I didn't realize it was that deep. What state are you in?
Very cool video !! I have a refurbished 1985 AM General 931A2. 5 ton dump with 14:00/20 super singles.... but don't plow with it .use it for moving equipment with a 20 ton trailer and hauling logs and stumps from clearing jobs What year is the duece ?
Cool! I see you’re from Atlanta! I’m from NW MN and some friends from here moved there and own the Beaver Lodge! I’d bet you might know them. Cool video👍🏻.
Last drove one in Vietnam in 1971 - my favorite vehicle. I was curious what you were using for traction. The military tires on them weren't worth a shit. I stopped on the side of a road on that tan mud that cracks when it gets sun baked, and the deuce wouldn't move. I let the clutch out, climbed out on the running board, and watched all 10 tires slowly spinning.
Bald tires with chains on the front and the outer rears. I does go very well. If we don’t get some new snow soon I’m going to pull the plow off for a little bit and go play in the snow with it.
I don't see plows on a deuce and a half much. Could you do a video showing how that plow mount is mounted to the truck and how it works from the inside? I wouldn't mind fabbing something up if I had a good idea of a good mounting system. I know a few others looking to do the same. Also, great job on the plowing, the deuce made it look easy, lol
I see you have a tracked snowplow like the ones we use made by Bombardier to clear sidewalks. Can't tell the make for the one you have. The city I work for had a fleet of the old style newest one was a 1982. Everyone who used them ended up in an accident including me getting 9 stitches to the forehead from hitting a guard rail tiedown point at the ground. We called them surplus German tanks from WWII.
The tracked rig is a old snow cat. Little big for sidewalks. I posted a walk around video of it on my channel the other day. Going to get some videos of it in action soon.
@Greylock Adventures , you could probably turbo it , but not much , you would have to know the specks on the engine . To do a real boost turbo you would need to change the pistons , I know there are lots of guys out there on the web , who could help you out=
Looks like you can plow / roll snow either left or right that will be a great help , to push snow onto unwanted areas , I noticed a little spinning there in one area , so a little weight on the very back end would help .
Certainly 6x6 will have lots of traction for pushing . When I was the age of my son standing next to me I was 2nd member of a snow plow team , plowing county roads , as long as it was snowing we were rolling , one time worked 37 1/2 hrs non stop except for sandwich and coffee, usually not more than 1, 1/2 “ of snow , 14’ slusher & 11’ or was it 12’ wing , clearing about 18-20 ‘ of road , speed should be 15-25 mph to roll the snow & blow it away & 35-40 was better
Don’t have enough room around here to get her going that fast pushing snow! That would be more fun though. If you check out my RUclips channel I posted a video plowing with a Deere 544 loader the other day. That is fun to move snow with!
@@greylockadventures7025 , not enough room , yes I realized that , for most of your snow plowing in the vid was close quarters, but I did not think that that was all of it . It looks like your plow can turn to push left or right & I like that , so you can cause the snow to roll down the hill , no matter which side the down hill is on . Most of the vids show plows that discharge only to the right , which often results in trying to push the snow up the hill , or on the windward side , making huge snow bank on the one side & none on the other. I used to wish our slusher could have been turned to push to the left , for these very reasons . I looked at you Deere 544 , yes it looks like fun. I used to punch back turn around areas, with a Champion grader , with a bull blade on front , 4’ high & width of grader & also cut the banks down to about 16-18” with a 14’ wing , driving at 10-12 mph if possible & close to the bank & one time not thinking of where I was at , where the bank was 2-3’ past the edge of the road , the right front wheel broke through the thin ice cover & I ended up with that side in the swamp , & the grader canted over to about 35-40* , but I got a fellow with a log skidded to pull me out
That reminds me of my father. He was an operator on the snow plow at the airport. There was no team on the first years and he had to do all the work by himself. Push the snow, remove it around the lights with a shovel, and finally blow it away. He had to blow the snow with the blower and widen the landing strip
Plowed for 30 years municipal work. Nothing like hitting the manhole at 30 miles an hour. But you're right momentum is your friend. Got to take a little bit smaller bite and roll it off that plow. Back in the seventies early 80s we used to pull 40-hour shifts. You could never get away with that nowadays. Since I retired I plowed for another 20 years residential. Now it starts to snow and the wife says I have PTSD. Post-traumatic snow disorder. Can't wait till the day and all I have to worry about is myself.
@@charlesfredrick4789 yes I can imagine hitting a man hole cover at 30 mph wow thank goodness we did not have any of those ! Rural County roads only . Are you telling me that you regularly pulled strait 40 hr shift , no thanks . Mine was in 72 -73 mostly less than 30 hrs . PTSD I like that ! Sometimes when it snows I get that , but , Most of my ptsd is , I want to hit the woods with my Savage 99 ,308 with tip-off scope 1.5-4.5 , so I can use scope or open sight & bring home the venison, but anymore I would need help to do that .
Probably a lot easier and dosnt risk losing momentum hitting a bad spot in the road. All vehicles out there are 4wd I assume so and inch or 2 of snow is nothing
A little snow left is fine. Better then diggin the blade in all the time and catching. The blade only sits a couple inches off the ground when the skid feet are on the ground.
@Greylock Adventures ,when I worked for the township we put 1/2” plywood under the blade & dropped the shoes / skid plates on the floor , so the plow cutting edge was 1/2” of the road , but sometimes we did catch some gravel
I have owned Dueces for years and it good to see one actually working for a living, with chains on it does a heck of a nice job!
I just use it to plow at my house for now. I am adding a electric/hydraulic crane to the bed of it soon though. It will get out to work getting firewood this year though!
Brought back great memories hearing the sound of the deuce and a half. I drove them in the Army, being Vietnam era Veteran
Thanks for your service brother 👍🇺🇸 I almost snagged one at an auction for $400 ! I didn’t have the money dammit lol. Mama would have shit if I came wheeling up in one of these ol’ girls
The pairing of the old deuce and good steady driver is obvious here. Great work , thanks for sharing
Those tire chains... AWESOME. :)
Thumbs Up!
Bravo you drive that ol gal like a gentleman 👏
Boy, it looks and sounds great!!
Man what a beast, so sweet!
Love it !!!!👍👍
Chains! Looks unstoppable until it digs a deep hole! That snow looked heavy. Enjoyed watching the video.
Awesome!
Nice and easy gets the job done .. looks like fun
Nice plow truck!
Nice. I think I need one of these.
Needed a longer video nice job cool truck 😎👍👍
If we ever get anymore snow I will make another. About to pull the plow off and just take it snow wheeling.
Man, I miss my deuce. Had it singled out. I plow with a C60 now, and it's obvious to me that the 6wd Deuce would be so much better...
A great truck doing a great job. Yes what a beast. It helped with the snow being dry like that. Not slushy or too dry either.
Fortunately the snow is usually pretty dry here. I alternate between the deuce and my skid steer for moving snow. The deuce is not fun though!
@@greylockadventures7025 Where are you located?
sweet machine
Great looking and sounding mil surplus you got there.
You ain't going to stop that Beast
Sick!
Awesome show of strength
No stopping that bad boy.
Like a boss!
Looking good

Man, I gotta get me one of these.
nice rig
Beautiful property
Thank you.
There were tracks for the back wheels like you see on skid steers, make them kind of a half track.
I'd love to get an old M35 someday....prices have gone up a lot in the past few years though unfortunately putting them way out of my budget.

Nuttin is gonna stop that.nice video
Can’t sleep at night not owning a deuce and a half. Bidding on one in an upcoming GSA auction!
That Deuce was not even breathing hard. They sure were made to last, weren't they. Can we say the same today for so many throw away items? Nice calming Video. I liked it !
Hell yeah.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Barely broke a sweat
Cmon man. Save some snow for the rest of us, you beast.
Nice rig. I am jealous. I think with a taller plow you could push more. I am in Minnesota and have some plows I would like to get rid of.
That plow is 3 ft tall. It is good for it. It’s not my main plowing rig, but definitely my favorite.
I had a V plow that was about 5' tall. M favorite plow rig is a Michigan 280. That is a lot of snow, I didn't realize it was that deep. What state are you in?

It’s a 64
Looks like the snow cat ain’t cutting it ! But the old trusty M35 is unstoppable
The snow cat is too slow for plowing. The blade on it is only good for filling in ditches and creek crossings. Plus the deuce is cooler!
nice
Cool! I see you’re from Atlanta! I’m from NW MN and some friends from here moved there and own the Beaver Lodge! I’d bet you might know them. Cool video👍🏻.
They own the only bar in town, of course I know them well!! That is pretty cool.
John Howard wanted to know who this is.

Closest I came to dying in Nam was in the back of a Deuce outside Saigon! "69"

I will be mounting the plow up for the winter soon. i will do a video of it when i do.
@@greylockadventures7025
Cool thanks!
I wish this was longer!
Don’t worry, it’s early this winter. I will make some more, probably with the drone following it.
Now that is a real plow! & what do You do with that track mobile ? Thanks for the video & that is a nice Deuce & 1/2 😉.
The snow cat is just for cruising around where we live.
I think that's my old truck .If it has alot of parts missing it probably is 😆

michael atoz-Back in 60's and 70's a lot of New England towns used the Bombardiers.I remember seeing them.
What engine are in those, sounds like a Cummins. Awesome piece of equipment for sure.
Old multi fuel. I believe it is a whites multi fuel
A 12 pack later the road is clear lol. This would be a perfect morning/afternoon. Morning eh no beer. Afternoon probably so.
That looks like our old ski lodge near Austria ?Winklermoose I think .
Not Austria, middle of nowhere Idaho. About as remote as you can get in the lower 48 though.
That house is sick. Nice location. Where abouts is this?
Atlanta Idaho, middle of nowhere. 60 miles of dirt road to get here.
Holy shit. I thought I was watching perma pasture. I thought he done lost his garden.
This is the way to go! Not playin around with dinkytoys and small westen tinfoil plow lookalikes!!!
Those things have PTO's or just running a pump off the engine with a belt?
Mine is using a electric over hydraulic pump to run the plow.
Why she not whistling ??? Does she not have one ? Very powerful piece of kit !!! 👍👍👍👍👍
Non turbo unfortunately

I really enjoyed !!! May I ask where do you live ? Absolutely Gorgeous !!! Thank You
Atlanta idaho, middle of nowhere.
@@greylockadventures7025 Thank you
Could you share some details about the snow plow?
What would ya like to know?
@@greylockadventures7025 Did you buy and install the plow, or did you buy the truck already fitted out with it?
In the beginning sounded like she could have pulled another gear with what little she was pushing around.
It that Mr. Plow from the Simpsons ? LOL
What type or name of plow do you have
I will have to look at it and get the name for you. It was a set up for a dump truck before. A lot of fab work to put it on the deuce

It's hard to guage size, 10' blade??
I will have to measure tomorrow, but I think it is a 10’ blade.
@@greylockadventures7025 👍 Thank You! The truck sure handles it well!
Very nice place to live. Look quiet and peaceful. The plow seems too high though. Leaving a lot of snow under the blade. How come?
Probably a lot easier and dosnt risk losing momentum hitting a bad spot in the road. All vehicles out there are 4wd I assume so and inch or 2 of snow is nothing
Odds are so you don't take too much gravel with it.
