    First time poster/long time lurker Knoxville TN

    Welcome to the Green Iron Laughing Accademy.:cookoo: Whether you score an MV now or not bring your happy azz down the GA Rally in October. There is already a thread posted for it. If you can get up with my little buddy Tigger he will even show you the way down......there may even be a...

    Who Bought Those Oshkosh MK-48s???

    If Ron is willing to put up with my snoring again he should be with me on the next load out. I have enough clients to make the mission a go. Central Command is cutting orders to send us TDY back to FOB Holiday Inn Express. Other than being insufferably humid Jacksonville was actually...

    NEW FL. MK48s

    Once you get the two sections lined up you just back into the trailer....there are line up pins that get the two plates mated (bear in mind you cannot see if they are lining up from in the cab)......you then put the short bolts in (they thread into the back plate). Once the short bolts are...

    How much would you pay GL for the mars lander?

    Well............then......................what's the fun in that? If I adhered to that 90% of my backyard would be empty.

    How much would you pay GL for the mars lander?

    Ran when parked....GL not responsible for forklift damage. Buyer loads.

    NEW FL. MK48s

    We will be on the ground this coming Tuesday and Wednesday to continue loading out trucks from the previous sale. Unless we have a commitment from a buyer we will not be assembling any trucks that sold today. That is contingent on GL and Honeywell continuing to allow us to work in their AO.

    Daft question, but ...

    There is no such thing as a dumb question (but there are a lot of inquisitive idiots in the world). JKrofl

    M915/M916/M920 Door Lock Cylinder

    Getting parts from AM General is a non-starter......I tried to talk to them years ago and they consider the MV collector community to be a bastard step-child. My understanding is that the cab uses many of the same parts as the International Paystar. Try you local Cornbinder dealer or Fleetpride.

    Woody......you're on "hot standby" to pull the van again......I sold my M915 down the river and I may not have a tractor this year. Same compensation as before........all the possum you can eat and I buy the fuel.

    Model year on Reconditioned MK48's

    What ever date you put on the SF-97 application will be on the title you receive from GL. When you go register at the DMV they will issue you a title with that date on it. When ever I do this at my DMV they always go out and check the data plate. It would be a good idea if that date...

    Who Bought Those Oshkosh MK-48s???

    That was the first one of our three loaded.......I have driven plenty of HEMMT's but that was the first MK48 I had ever been in. Backing it onto the RGN was an experience not for the faint of heart. My pucker factor was close to 10. We have exfiltrated the objective returned to the Primary LZ...

    NJ seeks to ban MV's in state forests

    I guess that's one reason ZiggyO packed his rucksack full of MV's and moved to Nebraska. The short time I was there told me there was nothing worth going back for. As long as the common sense people in any state allow the people who work for them (state and local officials) to trample on...

    Help mounting 395 tires

    Not a good idea IMHO.......the rims are too narrow for those tires. They will wear out in the center fast.

    Gama Goat -yes or no???

    I agree that they have a cool factor. On my list of things to get the Goat is right behind crotch rot and a root canal. IMHO it was designed by an idiot after consulting with a moron.

    Newbie - MK48 Advice

    After having worked with these things all day today I can say that I would not own one on a bet. The steering is scary to say the least. I backed one up onto a RGN trailer this morning and it was eye opening experience. Driving them around the parking lots was interesting too.:roll: They do...

    Who Bought Those Oshkosh MK-48s???

    So far we seem to be lucky with the bolts.....they're usually stashed in the cab but I have no doubt that Mr. Murphy has been collecting them from the site.......sooner or later we won't be able to borrow from Peter to pay Paul. I'm going to look for a Fastenall around here to see if they have...

    Who Bought Those Oshkosh MK-48s???

    Welll today was an exercise in logistics as I predicted. We got one truck shipped today but thanks to the above situation and some issues with two of the inbound trucks it was the only one of the three original ones that shipped. One trucker is across the street from FOB Holiday Inn and...

    If there are leftovers from the previous night's meal we sometimes warm them up and let folks serve themselves......but watch out for those Chilimac chow hounds....they will trample you to get left over Chilemac. You know who you are.
