    Wreckerman's wrecker a wreck no more

    Well, I finally got the 816 to fire off today (after several days of rain and mechanical SNAFU's).:mrgreen: It still sounds like it is mixing concrete due to the valve it dropped when the engine ran away. :shock: Tomorrow I will take it on a leisurely ride to the diesel doctor who...

    California Police Vehicle Weight Limit

    What rocket scientist wrote the specs for that POS. How hard is it to find some truck fabrication specialist in the Fruit and Nut State that can add a tag axle to that overpriced boondoggle. This is why government (all all levels) is going broke. Since they are spending the taxpayers money...

    One Piece Windshield Wanted

    One issue you are overlooking is the cooling effect having the front windows open can achieve. With the front windows open and the side windows closed the air is forced down through floorboards and most of the hot air (that normally comes up through the floor) is kept out. Just my 2 coppers worth.

    Questions on M796 Bolster Trailer

    I have one and I love it...hauled some long metal on it the other day and it did very well. This fall I plan to try it out with a few loads of popular logs I will be cutting down. You need to locate a Technical Manual (TM) for it. That will give you all the info you need and help put you...

    What should I do with my old bed.

    The bolster trailer that "Offy" liberated from me had a deuce bed mounted on it. It looked great and was a great hauler if you had more than a deuce would carry. With the cargo cover on it it really looked good going down the road.

    20x32x14 Maintenance Tent

    I am in the course of working out a trade for one of those frames. My plan is to cover it with metal siding turned longways. Kind of like the old Quonset huts of days gone by. That will hold me over until I can get the new shop built.

    Georgia MVPA Fall Rally 2009

    I get out of school around noon on Thursday...I may shoot on over and set up camp if I have all my ducks in a row by then. At the present it looks like I will be bringing the M109 with some sort of trailer....may hooch up in the 109 or maybe bring the inflatable shelter. Clinto....I'll give you...

    WTH, Found a tank today.

    Frodo......good job on giving closure to the "mystery tank". At least we know it is not going into the furnace or sit there till it rots away. Maybe we could organize a SS rally around moving the tank.....since it is so blasted hot in that infernal region you live in I'm thinking November would...

    Is there any room M915 Tractors

    My DA Form 348 (Military Driving Record) was three pages long. I was a Master Driver and Drivers License Examiner...I had to be licensed on everything I had to test people on. Since I did 2 1/2 years in Korea I was licensed on the Korean busses (Kimchee Coaches) and I even had a licence for the...

    WTH, Found a tank today.

    OK.....we know the owner is prob not a member of SS. The question is....what is/are/was his plans for this (big arsed) piece of military history. We can only hope that he is not a member of the "one of these days I'm gonna restore it" club. If he is it will prob rust in place until he croaks...

    WTH, Found a tank today.

    If the paperwork is legit and the owner is motivated to sell I suggest we set up a syndicate to buy and manage it. Not counting the purchase price you are talking a serious amount of money to restore and operate it......that being said I am generously volunteering to allow it to be parked up...

    Is there any room M915 Tractors

    I just purchased one last month from GL Redstone in AL, there were two more that sold on the same sale, one was a parts truck. Same buyer got both. I am chomping at the bit to get it but my EUC has not cleared yet. Mine has the 5 speed tranny vs the 15 Speed Cat that I drove in the Army...

    Roll bar

    Unless you are carrying a very top heavy load or attempting to negotiage a very steep angle sideways you are not in danger of rolling a deuce. I was in the Army over thirty years and never had a roll over in any unit I was in. The ones we did read or hear about were almost always driver...
