Do you guys care if a Northern Michigan hillbilly stopped in?

As luck would have it my ride for these bit the dust. Westy was going to bring these back with him on his move back to Wisconsin and then drop them off at Stretches place. The EUC screwed me and he had to ship out.. So I have two 6.2 engines in containers that need a ride east off of Ft Riley...

Did you have to use tubes and flaps with them? I have a set and they say tube type tire on the sidewall.. They look like the perfect snow tire to me..

I think I can! I think I can! I am! I am! now leave me alone you big mean lead footed nut job!

That pivot point is not for dumping but some use it that way. It will bend very easy or twist when dumping something heavy. Most I have seen were bent when they pick it up with a fork truck and cantilever the trailer off it.. GL ding, dings.. Later versions are a heavier frame rail probably for...

Yep and the older ones are not so you cant get the tailgate closed. This was a change made to the A2..

Man Kenny! Now I want a A3! That narrow fender well thing bugs me too.. They did extend the A2 so you can close the tailgate with 8' stock and you cant on a A1.. Just another difference.

Hmmm. Well some might disagree with me but I prefer the M101A1 with the eye flipped for hauling wood. Better spring pack and more ground clearance. The serge brakes can be a pain when loaded.. The military style serge brakes have no release so if you have to back up and your pushing a load the...

M101 and M101A1 have the 5 lug axle that matches the M37 using the 16" bud rim.. M101A2 has a 8 bolt axle matching the M1008 with a 16" one piece rim and a serge brake unit to help stop. I have found upgraded A1's with the old style box and I also have seen newer ones that are re-enforced on the...

To add to that.. I prefer using my M1009 and M101 when gathering fire wood.. The short wheelbase and 4 low are allot easier to get back in the woods on goat trails and two tracks. The little blazer has all the grunt she needs pulling it out of the brush loaded 4' high. But you know I cant find...

If I remember right the pintle hitch on a M1009 is only rated for 1200lbs.. With that said, I pull M101A1's and M101A2's all the time with mine and have no problems. They are 1280lbs empty. It might struggle a bit because of high gears and loaded heavy up a hill but seems to do just fine. You...

Well I knew they were big but not that big! Maybe a spreader for picking up CUCV's? :-D Regardless they will be made into something useful because I dont see a M60 tank in my future but you never know. So you guys scrapped out that dumper of Kenny's? Did he at least get the parts he needed for...

You the man Stretch! Your a blessing to the Steel Soldiers community! So did those hoists work for anything or did I waste my time? They might end up a multifuel engine stand when I am done with them. Any more pictures?

I considered the machining option and would have done it but I had to dismount and mount the tires to have it done. So I opted to not do that. I dont know if they say GM on them or not I will check but they came off a M1008 CUCV..

So Eric is en route home? Looks like a cool setup for the trip home.. Hey did he find that 250 on the side of the road in NJ? :-D

Yep I knew the ford rims would work. Maybe because the GM corp rear on the M1008,1028 they had to make them a touch bigger than the civi stuff?? I don't know, but they sure look nice and opened the door to a wide range of tire selection. Now a plow set up for the old beast... And maybe a Detroit...

Playing around a little today after pricing out some STA 9.50/16.5 tires for the M887 and they cost more than the truck did!:shock: Sooooo... Back some time ago I tried some civi rims off my GMC and they would not fit over the Dana 60 rear axle.. The center hole was a light 4 1/2 and the M880...

Chrysler silver from the factory.. Usually painted OD after a motorpool rebuild. If yours has Strata Blue on it it was probably a air force truck at one point.

For some reason I can not get that map to load? Anyone else have this issue?

Aha.. funny, funny.. Just picking up stuff... I would tell you but then I have to kill you.. And I need my motors so it will have to wait. :-D
