I have had the "deuce" (the main one, I have 9) for 28 years and have driven it myself over 50,000 ,iles since I bought it.

 

The Jeep was just in a movie (maybe if they didn't cut it out) called "Ashecliffe") based upon the book Shutter Island.

 

I have a crane deuce on the road but not in the picture on the website. I have been looking for some Bailey Bridge sections for display purposes though I don't take it out too often as it is difficult to drive with the boom 12 feet out in front of you. You have to be careful you don't hook a tree or telephone on a lefthand turn....

 

The next "deuce" that I will be restoring is an Engineers Compressor truck. This has a big LeRoi air compressor on the whole back of the truck. I have most of the tools that go with it and the compressor runs great. The tools include: a 2ft 2-man chain saw, a 12 inch circulat saw, 2 different jackhammers and a V4 cylinder (air) wood drill. I have all but the big jackhammer and all the tools work except the wood drill.

 

I hang around with a small bunch of guys and we do WW2 Living History Displays etc. We may eventually get into reinacting.
