    Unidentified carcass

    The green thing in ther back looks to be a 5 ton wrecker, you can make out the bed shape and the side mounted hydraulic tank. But what else is hiding in that woods is the real question????:???:

    Bought A Tank

    Hey guts and gals, its a nice day out, (at least here, overcast, but 50 degrees) the snow is melting, I just spent several nice hours in the barn with some of my collections trying to decide which to start first. Cleaned up some stuff and called it a day, everybody else must have stayed in...

    Vietnam vehicles

    You might be surprised at what was actually left behind. There was a report out from a retired General who served as part of the delegation to Viet Nam when we "normalized" relations with them. The general and delegation was met by younger Vietnamese, and the general interoduce to his Viet...

    to destroy a m342 or not?

    The fact that I and several others on here would gladly take thsat truck off your hands would help make up your mind I'm sure. And securing another dump isn't that hard to do, depending on what you need for your line of work. There are plenty of civie dumps out there as well as military 5...

    New Guy From Stow, Ohio

    Its good to see another Ohio resident in this, not that there is a shortage of us. They're from across the state, Perrysburg to Ashtabula, and Cleveland to Cincinnati, I happen to be from the Sandusky area. I think I've seen the truck you're looking at on one of the many 'expeditions' my...

    M816 on ice?

    NOT without tire chains..... That would be a wild ride if it gets loose. I know what my M-62 does on ice without them, and THAT is why it stays home on days like that. Too big to allow to get loose.

    Possible purchase

    Good luck with your quest, looks like there are plenty of potential candidates if you have the time. Parts shouldn't be an issue from the looks of it. The manuals you can access online here will help alot, and there are always guys here willing to help, wreckerman, gimpyrob, and the various...

    M123E2 recovery trip

    One of our "Group" members just brought an M-920 home Friday, its still sitting on the lowboy they hauled it on. Makes the Ford L9000 that hauled it look small, THIS would be even better. Not that I'm playing that game, "mine's bigger than Yours".... But he always wanted a truck bigger than...

    American armor on the streets of Egypt

    PPAPA BEAR has the right idea, you want it, we have it, a barrel of grain for a barrel of oil, but arming and defending people who really don't want to be free (except in THEIR definition of it) which is I'll tell you, you do it MY way. That isn't cool. Its trouble in the making. Its been...

    New from Ohio

    Welcome to the site from Sandusky, I was going to say "the disease", but its obvious you have it far worse than some, myself included... Have to bring your DUKW to Sandusky and play with us in the bay, we get quite a bit of time in with the LCM-8 landing crafts (3) each, and our LARC-V is...

    My 1st trip to Memphis Equipment

    I was in Memphis for training back in the spring, and thought about visiting but thought well, its just a store front from the view in the ads, what did I miss. Maybe its time to go back for another training program for a week.

    M 123's going to the scrap yard

    All I can say is ****ed shame. Its too far for me to do anything to save any of them. Really need one somewhere EAST of the Missippi that needs a home. (preferrably in the Northeast) But as I've said before and Wreckerman stated again here, the fewer there are, the more they cost.....

    Honey, look at this...

    You really are a welcome addition, My "better-half" shares this hobby but not the site as of yet. She does share some of the other half units on here's attitudes about my hobby. Controlling my "radical impulses" and insuring I don't get into REAL trouble. (on the other hand, her hobby is taking...

    Does this look safe to you ?

    If its a competition vehicle or going to be used in the extreme, it could cause an issue, but the design of the axle should hold it well. I've a WWII 5 tonner that has the u-bolts on it the same way. But it didn't catch much "air" i'm willing to bet.2cents

    THIS makes me..SO..sad

    One serious looking machine, and for a complete roll over it isn't all that bad really. But I'll bet the owner never drives anything like THAT again... Usually we only get one warning. Unless he's part cat, he got his. That 'beastie' rolling over me, I'd take up walking....;)

    problems with interstate batteries

    I've been replacing mine with all NAPA batteries and have NO issues with them. Had a NAPA go bad in the M-890 Dodge, and they handled it with no crap at all. Like they told me everybody has a bad day. Interstate seems to have a bad year or two though, so its NAPA/EXIDE for my stuff for the...

    Mid Ohio January Generator Rally!! (or 400 Hz to 60 Hz conversion)
