I think this tm file is to large to upload here do you have any suggestions?

Do you have the cord for your tow lights?

Occasionally I've noticed that govdeals has po stuff on their site, toolboxes, cars, wrecker, box trucks etc. I've not seen any LLV yet but who knows the vehicles all seem to have sf97 forms with them

I need pricing for moving the M274A5 that's for sale in vehicles from the museum in southern California with assistance loading to farmland Indiana 47340 with assistance unloading. Thank you

My 816 made sounds like that when I had a bad ground to the frame battery cable. It finally showed it's face with some sparks is how I located it

Thank you for your support guys,makes all the hard work pay off

Recently purchased this great shape M-998 and got it home. Curious to it's beginnings

Count me in please and thank you

Thank you to all who voted and thank you to all who've participated. You all deserve a pat on the back for keeping our steel soldiers rolling along.

When that 900 series hits 70+ years old and has sat neglected in a field for a couple decades, gets dragged out ,fired up, rust fixed, new tires, new paint it too will deserve to be looked at as a survivor and not beat around like a day to day hauler. Just my opinion

Sorry it's been a pretty busy week, haven't really had much time to play with the Tonka trucks. Here's a few more pictures of my M-51 today. They're all parked in the stable 4 5 tons and a 2.5 ton GMC in this row

This M-51 is serial number 543 produced January 1951 R6602 engine. These pictures are as well found it near Kokomo Indiana last had ran in the 90s. New coil and some TLC and a Jerry can of gas on the fender had it running in about 2 hours. Record the radiator, some new fuel tanks, tons of paint...

Man you guys have had a challenge with this truck but it's a beautiful wrecker, I love my M-62 including every gremlin it has lol

Managed to build this truck this year along with our pioneer trailer and M-56B1 for the Findlay show. Had it less than a year, lots of welding can rockers, fenders, new drivers door, newer tires, new fuel tanks, 6 gallons of primer and 9 gallons of paint, tarp troop seats kit

Good eye my friend, yes data tags says wo/w I'm assuming that possibly the county highway department that had it installed the winch, frame extensions and linkage on it.
