    South Ms, La, Al, Christmas and New Years party

    Actually, Maggie the Mule is for sale cheap to a good home, but I also still have some new-old-stock (NOS) medium towbars in the crate with all the attachments for $550. Also have 5-ton winch single and double snatch blocks. Let me know if I need to bring them.

    Had some problems with my tractor today :(

    When you flipped the battery switch, did any of the gauge needles move (usually fuel and battery needles will move)? If not, the issue is somewhere between or including the batteries and the battery switch. If the needles moved, but nothing happened when you turned start switch, the issue may...

    Govplanet HMMWV initial bid set to 5000

    The problem with a high starting bid is that, unless you have the time or ability to sit through the entire GP auction to wait for an unsold item to run through again, you can't put in what I feel would be a reasonable bid. At least GL would run an unsold item through at a lower price at a...

    South Ms, La, Al, Christmas and New Years party

    I should be able to come those days. Did someone mention horse trading? How about a mule trade? And, NO, it's not a selfie!

    FINALLY! I'm a 5 ton member

    Uh-Oh, now you're really hooked. Bet you can't stop with one. Now you need a M105, M1061 or one of those big ammo trailers. Really nice looking truck.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Good Show (pun) - I bet that made the other rig owners envious! My only broken bone came from being thrown from a bucking horse. I've got 13 of those pasture ornaments vying for space in the pasture with my motor pool. Wife "your trucks are taking up pasture from my horses." Me "your horses...

    GL has raised Buyer's Premium to 12.5!

    When you want to bid on an item, of course you take all the costs including buyers premium, taxes, transportation costs to determine your top bid price. With a higher buyers premium, you would bid to a lower max to compensate. GL has to give a percentage of the bid to the Gov't for the item...

    All set for GP pickup at Fort Riley M925a2 in the morning

    Nice looking 5-ton. Be safe on those highways - looks nasty out there.

    Just picked up two MEP 002a's with trailer

    You won't get much of a load from the convenience outlets, you'll have to use the main lugs and try to balance both legs if using 120v. Some have made load banks using water heater elements in a steel drum full of water. I wired up a 4-gang outlet (that I can use for tools) with one leg each...

    Don't ya wish ya coulda been there!

    Darwin's principle at work? Suicide by tank? "I didn't see it because it was camouflaged" "A really important text came in just as I was pulling out"

    Bought a M818

    My M818 gets 7mpg empty and 6-6.5 mpg pulling a 27000lb loaded trailer. Still much less than the 8.3.

    2006 Iraq Harley Davidson used by British

    I really like the carbine scabbard. I've never seen one of those before.

    Ndcc tires

    I have a XM818 I bought in 2009 with 147 miles and new NDCCs. It now has over 4800 miles and I had to replace the front tires around 4000 miles due to wear and cupping. The rear tires still have about 2/3-3/4 of the tread left. All of the miles are highway, and most are with a load. I...

    M101 tires?

    I think you may be confused as the OP didn't note the version of the M101. Since he mentioned NDT tires, it's probably a M101 (some call it the M101A1) with the 5-lug split rim wheels. The M101A2 will have the Chevy/GM 8-lug wheels and often commercially available tires that may match...
