Hmmm - you have a point - we will find out soon enough :) I do know it tows just fine behind the Jetta ;)

Well, I've done it again... purchased a M1022 mobilizer for my tactical shelter. It's (hopefully!!) on its way from Oregon to Cleburne, Texas, where I will be working on it. Wish me luck :) Franko

I have a 2011 MEP-806B with 515 hours on it. It hadn't been started in a few months & it started surging on the first start. I shut it down & restarted the computer & that appeared to solve the problem on that first day. I've been using it most afternoons when the wholesale electric rates go...

Thanks Peter, I have a fully operational 806B. I'm sure you've considered this approach, but just in case... I think that the option to remotely control this machine from a PC, tablet or phone would be useful to All owners. If your device could be configured while connected to a PC, then it...

Heads Up, there's another one for sale on GP in Lake Worth, TX (a few miles from my house.) It's pretty rough looking, but it might be worth a look-see. Search GP for "Tiernay" & it comes right up. I've purchased a lot of stuff lately from GP & I found a logistics company that makes...

Makes sense. BUT!! Now we have a (good enough...) excuse to buy the M989A1 HEAVY EXPANDED MOBILITY AMMUNITION TRAILER: PERFORMANCE FEATURESMISSION PAYLOAD Primary: four Multiple Launch Rocket System pods Secondary: rockets, missiles and ammunition, palletized/unpalletizedcargo Fuel transport...

Actually, I wouldn't call my transaction "outside of the auction process." I re-read my original post, which definitely made it sound like he is, but I should add the following info for clarity: He contacted me because I saved a tank listing on a previous auction. He invited me to make an...

I started reading the TM & this really is a handy piece of kit. It has adapter assemblies at Both ends, so you can connect a group of tanks in series. It also has a swivel plate at both ends, which effectively becomes the "non-rotating" hub of the wheel, if it needs to be towed.

I found this photo online - this beastie (3,500 lbs, loaded) really Can be portable. It definitely looks like a "don't try this at home" setup, but it's nice to know that it IS possible, if not entirely Advisable...

I've read the forum rules & I'm about 99.5% certain that I'm abiding by them, but please let me know if I'm not. I received an email today from one of the auction houses that I've done business with, letting me know they have a "very large quantity" of these fuel drums for sale. I purchased 4...

As others have mentioned, you can get 208 across two legs & most equipment will run on 208. Here is the spec plate from my home A/C compressor: I spoke with an engineer with L3 (the folks who built this beastie) & he suggested I connect single phase loads to legs 1 & 3, as the voltage...

I will definitely post pics when I get all of the blinkies blinking, the workmanship on this thing is Amazing. Here are the crappy GP photos: http://www.govliquidation.com/auction/view?auctionId=12477932

Thanks Guyfang, but I don't think they exist any more. I called them when I first got the shop & no reply.

Hello!! I hope this is the right spot for this question. I purchased a rare bird, a 1988 "Shop Set, Maintenance, Electro-Optics, National Stock Number (NSN) 4931-01-273-2389, Table of Authorized Material Control Number (TAMCN) E1713, Identification Number (ID No.) 09129A." It's a 20'...
