    Oshkosh M1070 HETT

    If you have the money for a toy like that why not? The only difference between Green Iron and crack is that when you wake up the next morning after a binge you have something in the driveway to show for your money.:wreckerman893:

    M923a2 part out value

    I recently parted out a M927A1 with the 250 Cummins. I knew in advance that it was a Marine Corp truck with Detroit Lockers and the 20 foot ISO bed (which I wanted badly). All that I have left now is the parts for installing a winch. I sold the lockers, scrapped most of the cab, frame and the...

    Red Footwell lights

    Truck drivers call these "Booger Lights".......they keep the Wangdoodles from running out from under the seats and biting your toes.

    Would you toss these 395 ' s and get new ones?

    You can put tubes in them and run them on the rears. I wouldn't bet my life on them for steering axle tires.

    M923 Brake Question

    If you are not used to air brakes they can be touchy. You have to develop a soft foot since there really isn't a lot of leeway in adjusting the amount of air that is sent to the brake chambers. If you are going to carry passengers make sure they are seated and restrained, especially if this is...

    Backhoe recovery with the M936A1

    Good job. It's always better to have a wrecker and not need it that to need it and not have it.[thumbzup] A while back a hired hand ran my tractor into a deep ditch. It stayed upright but the teeter factor was high. I couldn't get a straight line pull on it with either winch so I just slung...

    Hi all, some random questions...

    Bidding on a truck that won't start even with a jump.

    Scrap price is dependent on the scrap price on any given day. At ten dollars a hundred a 15,000 pound truck is worth 1500 bucks unless you have a good relationship with your scrapper. Deuces and 5 tons are made of good melting steel and sometimes they will bump you up a few cents a pound if the...

    M916A1 Hauler

    The 60 Series were just Cats painted green (to the point where Cat sued Detroit). I had a Freightliner with one in it and I've always regretted not buying it from the lease company when the company I worked for went teats up. I put every mile that truck showed on the clock on it. It would pull...

    M934 Expansible

    A lot of those vans had asbestos in them and were sent to be abated. When that happened they usually took the original units out since the ducts had the offending substance in them. The one I had still had the heater unit but the AC was long gone. Finding something that fits exactly might be a...

    M916A1 Hauler

    I drove the older version in the Army and they are fine for short haul. They ride like an oxcart and have a lack of creature comforts. Mine had the 16 speed Cat with the 400 Cummins. The newer ones with the Freightliner cabs may ride better and have AC. You should check CA emission laws before...

    M936A2 recovery Hattiesburg,Ms to N.E. Ohio

    I'll give you a real deal on three hayburners. Yep...to not have frost heave to contend with we seem to have a problem building concrete roads. It is written into the Interstate Highway Act that a certain amount of interstate mileage has to be concrete (ya think the concrete industry had a...

    Any tire shop that does skidder tires or other big ag type tires should have o-rings that will fit.
