Just FYI,JUMBO is now owned by a collector in southern Virginia,and Dirt71 here has 1 or 2 M125 cargo trucks he is resotoring.

David,Mine are still for sale:mrgreen:,hurry up and snag em before I buy a trailer for it!!

Just a thought,but has anyone invited them to bring the truck to the GA rally after it's finished? Just a thought I was throwing out there.

I'm gonna stay away from this one,I'm still trying to sell the two I have here.

Hmmm,I guess I can chime in on this thread,having owned a 816 and now a M62A1. I use the heck outa mine,rarely a week goes by that it doesn't get used,granted the 816 got lots more "road time" vs "yard time". I did several recoveries with the 816(5000+ miles in 3 years) and have towed...

Captain, The axles are the same ratio in the M54 and the 816,it's a bolt in swap.If you don't wanna part out the M54 I have a couple 5 ton rears out back that I could pull the diff on.

Ok,been following this thread and figured I would post what I use and have had good luck with, I use Costal 80W90 GL-5 for the axles,winches and all other gear boxes on all of my trucks,except for the trans and transfer cases,I use Castrol C50 drivetrain lubricant for those on all my trucks...

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After the monthly meeting today,I decided to clean the junk outta the 135 and see if maybe it might fire up. Well,after 2 hrs of shoveling,washing and scraping dirt,rust and old seat parts up,I finally found the cab and bed floors(what was left of em),The...

Just when I thought the troubles were over with this recovery,Day 3!! Granted this was a small problem,but still aggrivating,I moved the 135 to it's resting place for a short while,I just decided to use the winch on the M35(being as I am working by myself) Rigged everything using a 10 ton...

Ok,i snapped a few pics of the trucks this morning while I was waiting on the tractor to warm up.

Well,I have found out that yes,you can tow a Deuce with Deuce,but it ain't fun. Kenneth(Lovebloodhounds) and I went to Burlington NC to pick up my "new" to me 1952 M135 with winch.We met Neil(neilhendrix) at Whitsett and after a quick lunch,made it to the truck about 1PM. Here's where the...

Chief 919,his name is Terry and he is part owner of The Old Grouch Military surplus in Clyde NC.

OK folks,I'm gonna put the meeting off till Sat Feb 20th to skip the St Valentines day weekend as some people may be out of town/have other plans. So mark your calendars for Sat Feb 20th at 9 AM!!

I'm in,no idea what i'll drive this year.

Hmmm,sure it's not a A3? I was also looking at the rather tall and different design of the exhaust stack heat shield. Just FYI,I really didn't notice the truck first either.

I'm there,and I can help plan/cook if need be. Dunno what i'll drive yet.

It's an M35A3 deuce,different style gauge panel.
