    2011 GA Rally Buy/Sell/Trade Thread

    I have the adjustable bucket from the driver side of an M1010 ambulance. I thought I had the passenger one too but haven't spotted it up on a shelf or pallet rack. I won't be coming but I think doghead would bring it. Pm me if you are interested. Lance

    wrecker need to know

    Look in the back of the -10 TM and you will find the loooong list of BII items. Darn few of them ever surface at MV shows and you could spend a long time hunting down the whiffletrees, boom braces, snatch blocks etc. Inspect, inspect, inspect... You can drop a lot of dollars, time and...

    Hobart 17-G-2045 help wanted

    Contact Hobart. About 10 years ago we were working on a 1942 Navy generator set and after calling them they photocopied and mailed me a manual for the electrical end. Mine has a Hercules engine. I would start with these guys: ITW Hobart Ground Power 1177 Trade Sq E, Troy, OH 45373-2479...

    Hello from the Great White North

    Welcome to the site. Does it have a gas or diesel engine? I'm guessing something gas like a 350? Lance

    S-250 or S280 shelter

    Carnac, if you ever find the conversion kit and don't need it yourself I'm looking for one. Lance

    5 ton wrecker

    Considering that a patient person can buy a running M813 for around $3K a rough, low on power chopped up cab and chassis with funky paint is going to be a hard sell at $2K. Especially if there is no title or transferable registration with the truck. If one were to scrap it at today's prices...

    M35a2c, s-280 & m105=9.45 mpg...

    On the way back from the Gilbert show on Sunday AM I decided to see what mileage the M35A2C w/w was getting with the S-280 camper in it and towing an M105 trailer at around 4,000 pounds. The S-280 likely weighs about 2,600 pounds. I was interested in how much the taller profile of the shelter...

    OMG, since you were coming from Akron the least you could have done was detour past Camp Perry and bring me a few M1 rifles... Lance

    Gilbert PA Military Vehicle Rally Sept 21-24th, 2006

    Duane, it could well have been Ed and I that had the original M715 cargo cover. The only M715 canvas we have left, unless something is hiding in the pallet racks or in the loft, is a cab cover and a cargo cover. Shoot me a PM and I'll give you Ed's contact info. If you guys work out a deal be...

    Bringing/looking for at Gilbert 2011 thread

    We will be in A38-41 about 50 yards to the right as you come in the main gate. We aren't bringing the camper but will have an M1008 and an M35A2C with an S-280 camper in it. I'm looking for: 11.00R20 tubes and flaps. 4 tubes and 5 flaps. M915 and M809 (M813) air filters. Silicone brake fluid...

    FNG from Long Island

    If a vehicle is at least 25 years old you can tag it as a historical vehicle . That would get around the commercial vehicle bit. You couldn't use it for any commercial purpose, though, and your town may have an axle count or some other issue to deal with. It is likely better to check before...

    Fall 2011 Rausch Creek MV Rally

    No, I don't but a good part of Long Island is still cleaning up from Irene and the major rain last week from Lee didn't help matters. They could very well be dealing with that still. Lance

    Tires backwards??

    If they are xls, xmls etc Michelin states that they are not directional tires and it doesn't matter which way the tread pattern rotates. Lance

    Fall 2011 Rausch Creek rally

    Well, I just fund out that I won't be able to make it this time. Nancy and I are heading to North Carolina that week to look at some possible retirement properties and to visit some family. I'll have to wait and see what spring brings. Lance
