The engine is available when needed. If we are going to do it at the rally I'll try to get it there. If it is needed sooner just come and get it.

I have two engines out back that have been stored in a trailer for a few years. They have been stripped of various external parts but they were good running engines when I parted out the deuces from around them. Internals should be good. PM for details.

Just jump starting the truck won't necessarily solve your problem. The alternator is made to maintain a charge, not to charge a very dead battery(s). You can set a battery charger up in the cab and charge one at a time. To do a slow charge on all four batteries will take a couple of...
I found a spare tire for a bolster trailer that I thought I had gotten rid of. I think it has the same bolt pattern as some of the other trailers now being surplussed out now. I'll prob throw it on the circus wagon and haul it along.
I also have two HUMVEE tires. They are new recaps and don't...

I was stationed at Fort McClellan, AL in the early 90's when several units on post were deactivated. Our Sgt. Major predicted that the base would be closed and eventually it was BRAC'ed.
While there was economic impact, Anniston is still a large, thriving city. Part of the post was...

On the plus side Ron now holds the world's record for the wrecker high jump and the most seat cushion ever sucked into an anal orifice.:mrgreen:

I'll prob pull the starter and take it to the local old school starter and alternator guy in town. He has a rep for being good and reasonably priced. If he can't repair it I'll buy one. I looked under the dash and didn't see that plate in the picture but I didn't look real hard...
Right now it's sitting out in the driveway biding it's time before our next battle. I detected a evil glint off it's windshield today but I prob won't work on it for a few days.
I'll call NAPA tomorrow and see if they have the part in stock and then check with Advance Auto to see if they have...

Very few do make it out. One of the requirements of turn is is that the bumper numbers and other specific unit ID numbers be painted over or ground off.
That being said I have owned two M915's that escaped with numbers intact. In the case of my M927 a little brake cleaner and the...

Be aware that putting bumper numbers from an active duty unit on a surplus military vehicle MIGHT get you in dutch with the powers that be.
That being said my M927A2 still has the bumper numbers from the unit it was surplussed out of and I have taken it on several military...

A few reasons:
(1) The Boss Lady is working me like a rented mule on a farm project we have to have finished by the 15th to get our gooberment charity money.
(2) It's Summertime in Alabama and I have to work outdoors where it's hotter than two rats f**king in a wool sock. It's also...

You'll prob never look back.
I like to drive my M927A2 and give it lots of love. Also take it to car shows and other events.
I even haul a 34 foot electronics van using a tow dolly with it when I go to the GA Rally.

Be very, very careful when getting fuel into oil pan. If you get too much in there you can end up with a runaway engine.
Ask me how I know.auaauaaua

My resident wrecker will not start if it has been setting more than a few hours after being shut off. I have to bleed through the above mentioned screw to get it to start. Once I figured that out (with a lot of help from the peanut gallery here) I can crank it every time. Still can't...

Replacing one battery is a bad idea. Assuming it has the four original batteries I would pick two that have equal voltage and lose the other two. Being that you are in Florida you don't need the extra amperage that four batteries has. If you want to have four batteries then someone...

If there is a "Pull a Part" junkyard in your area check them out. The seats out of a full sized pick up will fit in a deuce (may be tight depending on make) and some of them have the folding option like you describe.
I had bucket seats out of a Dodge Neon in my M109 and there was...
