In one of the pictures I looked at it had a drive shaft hanging in front of it. If they could be bought for a good price you could take the drive axles off put some 5 ton trailer axles under them. Make a pintle hook up or a goosneck style hitch with a power soarce mounted on it and have a very...
Hi guys.. I saw these and was looking hard at them.. This is way out of my knowledge base but they look very handy if you could make them work off of another style truck. Do you think this is possible? What drives the hydrolics? I see they have drive axles and a drive shaft hook up but dont see...

RE: m601 reply
Vintage Power Wagon sold a bunch of these a few years back. I bet if you call them they can answer most of your questions. I had some info on them and am still trying to locate it in my pile of stuff... I do remember finding that most if not all were shipped over seas. I see the...
Man Tactical! How do you make a plan when you dont know if you will win, neve know when the EUC will clear, and dont know if they run? Wing it man! wing it! Its all good !
Just have to roll with it after you win because I had lots of plans before buying many trucks.. Half dont work out...
Thank you for posting these.. I am sure my friend Dave P will enjoy them too. Its real cool to see the trucks being used for the roll they were designed for. Do you have any of your M819 pulling that long trailer made for it? I think it was a M270? Keep em coming we love them!
Oh and a big thank...
Well when I was there you could'nt get close to the onsite loading docks.. Two conjested... lol. Man now I want a M818.. Oooooh wifeyyyyy!!!! can I barrow some money my ODD is acting up again.. Insurance wont cover it..
Man! I eyed that one but could not bid.. I would drive up in a Honda with some gear lube, grease, filters, and some good batteries and drive that sucker home hooked to your M127 find the nearest loading dock and pull the Honda on the trailer and head South. I bet she would go 500 miles without...
Can I have the number for the wrecker service to pass on to this trucking company? If they dont get it next week I will try and find someone else to get it. The yard guy there is a good guy he is just overloaded with trucks and cant help everyone.. I understand so if I have to pay $150 extra to...
No I have been seriousely jerked around on this one. Holidays screwed it all up too trucker decided to take a long vacation. They were supposed to pick it up yesterday and deliver it today. I didnt want to badger them but heard nothing. I then called this morning and well not sure what happened...
Sorry for post hijack Pappa G.. BUT! Anyone available to meet a truck there next week and help them load a truck? Yard guy is backing out on helping do the loading and if not I will have to hire a wrecker service to load it and spend allot of money. The trucking company I had lined up is now...
How bad of shape is the M818 in? Hell you might be able to get it running put your car on the M127 and drive the whole thing home? Got pics of the one you won?..
I made this guy a offer.. He wants $5500 for it and would not budge so he can keep it. For that much I will buy a 5 ton tractor.. Oh well, but thanks for all the advice and info. I learned allot and will know more the next time I find a old jeep..
Welcome aboard! Yes pictures when you get your camera figured out.. I love them old CCKW's and the 1.5 ton Chevy and GMC's too.. Great group of OD heads here and if they dont know it they will either make it up or find someone that does. LOL.. Congrats..
I like the Canadian changes.. Makes me want one to go with my Canadian M37.. Wonder if any have been up for auction.. They made some nice changes to the M135 too. Sure would like a set of those rims to mount some Michelins on. Any of you Canadians watching/reading? Whats the story on getting one...
The PTO turns all the time when the engine is running but the shaft should only turn when ingaged for forward and reverse. Probably a broken shift fork in the PTO or maybe a linkage issue. These are just guesses. This could be real bad if the drum lock is engaged up front and you start the...
