That is an A1R battery box. Your M1081A1R was likely rebuild from an existing M1081(A0) and kept the original box. Only the new production late models got that battery box.

New to me M1079A1R came in and am going through it. Weak point in the harness/loose connection in terminal caused some funky issues and I assume that's why the unit was removed from service. I bundled the harness up and the issue went away so simple temporary electrical fix for now.

Anyone else seen one of these? I've only been able to find 3 so far and all are missing data plates.

Nice! ..also nice wheel guards! I can't find any.

Would someone who owns an A1 (not A1R) please post a photo of their battery cable layout. I recently acquired an A1 that was overhauled into an A1R and S&S seemed to have blended the two designs together making a mess. No batteries in the truck currently (get it..current) and no labels.

The rear PTO engagement lever broke so I extracted it, it was in the hardest to reach spot of course. The cable works fine but rust just seized up the pivot joint. Now to get the remains of the joint threaded off the PTO cable. aua

Yeah. I remember flat towing from Woodworth, LA to College Station, TX twice flat towing a deuce with a deuce, each an auction VFD truck in the dark with tropical storms rolling through. Sketchy AF. I still rank that recovery in my top 5 memories of "I should have died but Murphy was busy".

HAHAHAHA! I just had mine hauled from there to Dallas, TX on Wednesday. The truck was listed at Kessler AFB and they decided to ship it to Saraland for who knows why. Anyway, if you want to have it hauled I know a transporter and you can pick it up at my lot here in Dallas. That should save you...

I can take this one. Usual auction prices for running A0's range from 6,500-10,000 before fees. A1's will range from 8,500-14,500 (runners bring over 10K usually). Define "nice", nicer looking units will bring 20% more so it seems. 100% functional is hard to say as well but drivable safely will...

Could a 1 ton pull a M939 with the brakes caged on an improved level surface with plenty of room to stop? Probably. Could it do it on an unimproved surface (dirt, gravel, etc)? Doubtful. Could a 1 ton stop a M939 with the brakes caged on an improved level surface? Yes, but with how much room...

I had to get the full screening since my 3 year renewal came due. Still not bad, 30 days for a full screening. 3/6/19 EUC Approved 4/9/19

Allenday78, Send me a PM and I'll give you a call. I've gone through the hoops a few times now.

I'll be rolling in late Friday with the M1078. It will be her maiden voyage and break-in run so I've been prepping all week for the "just-in-cases". I do hope the rain keeps at bay for the weekend but at least it will be cool outside. Maybe we can play in the mud a little at BVORR. :driver:

Roughly 12,000 built but they wont come across the auction block until the units get new equipment so it will be a rolling phase I'm sure. I wouldn't count on all 12,000 coming out of course since a lot of them got armored overseas. At this point it's anyone's guess as to domestic quantity but...

Super dirty from cobwebs and cotton gin fluff but kept indoors. They came off a RRAD "overhauled" M101A2 I got back in 2014. I'd do $100 and bring them to the rally if wanted.

Haha, I would if the ground I have would stay solid. Time is ticking for the TX Rally next month.

Does anyone know or do gear swaps for the FMTV/LMTVs here in Dallas, Tx? I can get the gears if need be but a one stop shop would be nice. Uhh..asking for a friend.

I'm over here in Dallas/Irving area driving LMTVs, 5 tons, and maybe a firetruck. See you around. :beer:
