    7 trucks from Indianapolis to Montrose, MI. Help!

    I'll know more when the EUC clears, probably in 1-4 weeks. The EUC clears pretty fast when you have purchased items recently. And I just bought an M105 in Lansing. I'll post as soon as I know anything. Thanks, Bill Michigan

    7 trucks from Indianapolis to Montrose, MI. Help!

    That sounds like an idea! And thanks for the offer to loan the towbar. They are all stated in the description to run. I only bid on trucks with nice new paint jobs too. My insurance agent said he can write a temporary coverage binder for them so it would be nice and legal. My brother in-law...

    mounting a knuckleboom crane

    Bjorn, funny how we both started out with an M49 Fuel truck. Looks like your crane is a bit larger than the one on my truck. I ended up building an extension for mine to get some more reach. I have been eying the small log grapples on eBay, but that is another project. I was also looking at...

    mounting a knuckleboom crane

    The crane capacity close up is ~ 7000lbs and all the way out ~13ft is about 3000LBS. The cylinder operating pressure is 3000lbs I would like to get a jeep, mule, or mighty mite to carry around in the back. I wonder what a Jeep weighs? Bill Michigan

    Thanks Mike, I just got it running again with an engine swap, I also finally built a set of dump bed side racks and installed a canvas top on the rear. I am now working on the front side rack for the dump bed and thinking about end curtains. I'll probably have to have some custom made. I'll...

    Stupid Zone inspector

    You may or may not have a good resolution to the zoning issue. I had a similar experience in my small town. In Birch Run, MI. I live next to one of the village council members. She and her brother are two of the five council members in our town. I store my M342 truck in my garage but she still...
