    fuel additive for long term storage

    Green iron is mine, which usually means I burn it before it goes bad.

    Difference between M923A2 and M939A2

    Yeah I got that, and not to pick on a newb but if they missed the stickies, I'm sure they didn't look right and find search. Didn't the forum used to have a feature before you posted that listed similar threads? O well...If it's one thing this forum tends to have a lot of over the years it's...

    "How to get a HET in life..." - M1070 Acquisition thread

    30 some lots, low was $6900 high was $14000 give or take...$10k or so I don't have exact figures I bid higher on 6 lots than the two that went under 7, wish I had put them on the list...they were 01' runners.

    I tried and kept getting outbid. Hopefully there will be a next time.

    "How to get a HET in life..." - M1070 Acquisition thread

    If you took the wheels off and sat it on the deck it would be 13' 5". Anything double drop will work.

    "How to get a HET in life..." - M1070 Acquisition thread

    I would anticipate it. However a double drop RGN should handle a single HET and stay under permit for most haulers.

    M871 Rebuild

    It's about time I did some PMCS on the fleet. Being that temps are above freezing and ice is off the roads its not a bad time to start. I had some big personal events take place last year and in the wake the trucks and equipment have to find a new home. Not a new owner but a new home. So in...

    Re-decking M871, what material?

    Well I found treated southern yellow pine. So I'm getting some. Plan is to coat each milled board with asphalt fence paint and secure with claw style deck cleats. I'll post results when i get done, maybe some along the way. Contemplating POR-15 coating the rails, and painting the overall...

    How much can a 5 ton tow?

    I'm going to have to agree. I realize we all do dumb stuff or get away with something unsafe and live. However posting something like that is supporting the wrong behavior that potentially could get someone killed or the hobby under fire. In the future please refrain from posting successful...

    All m939a2 filters that you will need

    It should be noted that some of these cross to all M939 not just the A2.

    Anybody ever won 2 auctions by accident??

    Sell the one further away. For what you have into it and walk away with one and less stress. Personally if you can swing the financial loss, recovering the truck and selling it with title and known condition will probably yield a better sale.

    Bottle Jack for M923A2, M925A2, ect.

    I use the 20 ton bottle jack from TSC, although you need dunnage. At $50 its worth throwing one in the tool kit. I think I have one with each although I'm not sure the trailer has one.

    Re-decking M871, what material?

    I am actually use reclaimed pallets for my kids fort and I've found most here to be pine. I read on another forum that asphalt paint fence is a good coating for the deck boards and acts as a resistant barrier between the treated lumber and the metal frame.

    923 ground pressure on 1400's

    Like I said there is no one equation for all situations and tires. However the report identifies on average the vertical PSI of the tire to ground is equal to the PSI. That should be good enough for the intent of the OP. Any other equation is used to develop the tire itself. Given DOT...

    923 ground pressure on 1400's

    The front tires of my M925 are 4" in the ground. They were fine till I rolled 2' forward, spring thaw... I get maybe 1/2" of indentation on compacted ND soil, but our fertile soil does some weird things when wet. After reading this article...

    Re-decking M871, what material?

    That's what it is for me to. I called the trailer places in the state they all order it in on a case by case basis. Apitong or Oak. White oak is $4.50 a ft Apitong is $8.86, treated pine is $1.20...guess which I'll be using. And I can't get Yellow Pine unless I drive south again. White...

    Re-decking M871, what material?

    Alright I have my M871 in for Mx, lets call it an annual. Anyways while I have it in the drive for PMCS, I am considering re-decking it. The deck is in horrible shape so it's not a bad idea. Only problem is I can't get white oak at least not without breaking the bank. So I'm considering...
