These trucks (M923, M1009) were the ones I operated while stationed in Belgium, arguably the best year of my entire career. By owing these, I get to share with my two sons that feeling that comes from driving such a basic well engineered piece of equipment, as well as a piece of my youth. Not...
My wife has a hard time, we were debating a pull out step like on a motorhome. Paint it ODG and attach to the bottom on each side. Almost invisible when not in use. I have to put one on both sides because she drives sometimes too. At least thats my excuse.
Go with the G177s. They are everywhere for sale relatively inexpensive from people moving up to 395s and such. Nice easy upgrade and great tire. I have them on my 923 and love 'em.

Three 24v fired relays, a 12V source and hook up a whip from the truck to the box. Install a Civi "vehicle" side plug in the box, and plug the trailer into it. Works perfect. I made one. I actually ran the 12V right out through the truck plug on the aux power line so it feeds right to the...
I am relocating this year to North Carolina. I want to move my running 923 and skid steer by truck if the price is OK. My schedule is VERY flexible, and the move could be accomplished any time after April, up til July 2013. So if you are contemplating a load and might end up with an empty...
