Well Folks,Adam(Ferro) left here about 11:30 PM headed south with a somewhat complete wrecker kit(some assembly required) on board the M270. We had a few complications loading the wrecker bed after dark,all of which were overcome with some creative M62A1 wrecker use,( I think that multi...

No problem CSM,I didn't take it that way,I was just putting forth what I was told about the trailer and what was on the website about it.

They are definetly not Dexters,I've never heard of this particular axle manufacturer myself,it escapes me at the moment. The outriggers on every M series wrecker are mechanical screw down outriggers(unfortunately) so no danger of them leaking off our moving overnight.Ferro will be here early...

I did crawl under the trailer today after unloading it,it does have 2 ea 7000 lb axles. I visually inspected every weld and bolt,spring and mount as well as both axle tubes for distortion,none noted at all. I noted that after unloading the trailer only raised up about 2 inches,I also noted...

Link to the spec page for the exact trailer I have,I did get the dual jacks as an option for stability. 24Ft, 18,000 lb. Standard Duty Deluxe Gooseneck

Well,I am gonna finally add my expierence to this thread as well,it's true I expected the bed to weigh about 12,200 to 12,400 lbs,and that would have been well within the rated load capacity of this particular trailer,which I purchased new in June of 2011 from Kaufman. It is not a typical...

Well,It's official,I'm out,after shelling out $3600 for new injectors and $1200 for several other repairs to the Dodge,I'm out of all my "extra" cash,so I will be absent from this years GA rally.

Folks, I may be bidding on a M345 trailer in Mt Pleasant florida,is there anyone that is coming to the GA rally that could swing by and tow it to the rally? It is not overwidth,and is designed to be towed behind a 5 ton truck,it weighs 11,000 lbs empty. PM me and let me know.

Ron,you and swiss are gonna let me run each one at least once right? I will be bringing mtnrebel along with me,I think this will be his first official SS rally attendance.

It could be one of many different problems,here are a couple threads that may help you out. By the way,I hope your expierence with the Hydramatic trans is easier than mine was. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/early-deuce/17023-hydramatic-heaven.html...

Hmmmm,how much for each one Adam?

The 800 series is definetly different,that pre cleaner is specific to the M39 series trucks,it will probably have to come off of a parts truck. It is NOT a necessary item,you can operate the truck without it,just remove the bottom support "feet" off of the lid,and turn the lid 90 degrees...

Dunno,a fellow came and looked at it,I have not heard back from him yet. If I go to the trouble of fixing the front brakes,repacking all the wheel bearings and replacing all the worn tires,the price is gonna skyrocket!! Heck,If I go to that much trouble,i'll keep it and paint it 24087,then...

Well folks,since I am waiting on parts or electrical part rebuilds on the other 2 trucks/trailers,I decided to work on the GMC a bit more this weekend,so I installed the winch kit!!!! Now I have a running,driving titled 1952 GMC XM211 with winch!!! Somebody better buy this thing...

Here is a short list of what I have to trade/sell... 9 ea M34/M135 rims with 1100X20 tires on them,all the tires are pretty much junk,but the wheels are in decent shape,$60 ea or $500 for the lot of 9. GMC body parts,front fenders,hoods,cab parts, steering gears,2 spare radiators with...

My 1965 M52A2 tractor I picked up from GL at Ft Jackson earlier this year.The one for sale in the classifieds.

Actually Jeff,there wasn't any play like loose wheel bearings,but you could definetly tell when the studs made contact with one of the tapped holes in the back of the hub,it sounded and acted like a detent ball.

Folks, With the masses of 5 tons and deuces of all series out there as well as the ones being surplussed,when you are checking/repacking you front wheel bearings take an extra 10 minutes to check/retorque those 20 odd spindle studs that are the main thing holding your wheel,hub and drum,brake...

Well,I am definetly out,too broke to make the trip.

Tim,I think that's vinnys for sale list
