Today I headed over to Sodom South (Atlanta) to load out Andy1234's new prize a M1070 HETT. We got in after the morning rush and before a 20 mile backup on the eastbound side of I-20. Mr. Murphy was on his toes and we had to jump start the beast using slave cables and an additional 24 volt jump...

The Boss Lady has dictated that I make a foray to Hades South (near Miami) with her. I'm making the best of it by delivering some parts to Steve6x6x6 and picking up some rims he has been holding for me...

Today my youngest son Kyle and I made a pilgrimage to Tank Town USA located in NW Georgia. Tank Town is operated by Todd Liebross and is on the main Highway just north of Blue Ridge, GA. http://www.tanktownusa.com/ I had read about Tank Town in the local fish wrapper and knew Todd was someone...

Went on a mission today to bring back two semi-trailers from Redstone. I borrowed my buddy's M915 (actually the first M915 I ever bought) to do the recovery. Murphy put in an appearance early when I discovered that the brakes would not release on the first trailer I hooked to (bad air...

This morning while at the Alternative Fuel Fest my phone rang. Fellow SS Barricade (Mark) had buried his deuce nose down in a quagmire. As soon as the Fest was over I headed north to affect a rescue of the semi-submerged deuce. Murphy was hovering over the situation and the rain started about...

I still have two A3 deuce rims at Steve6x6x6's place in Winterhaven, FL to either my place in NE AL or TaylorTradingCo's place just off I75 in NW GA. Anybody heading this way from FL that can assist please PM me to work out details.

I posted this in the Upcoming Events section but thought I would add it here also. I’m organizing an Alternative Fuel Fest to be held March 29-30 that will showcase vehicles that are powered by anything other than straight gasoline. It will be held in Gadsden, Alabama, at the Tractor Supply...

They couldn't find a tow truck up to the job.

One of my customers has this 4 thousand pound rough terrain forklift at his place. It is a runner but needs the thin metal thingy between the engine and transmission replaced. It has a four banger Cummins in it and was made by Clark. I could not find a data plate on it but it has USMC...

Today Kirby1957 rolled into my LZ to "drop and hook". He dropped off a very nice M927 and hooked his Ford pickup to a trailer he was pulling behind the M927. The objective was to recover some air conditioner units and MRAP seats I had been holding for him. He was enroute from the "Land of...

Recently I went and visited a gentleman named Wayne Keith who has been working with woodgas generators for several years. He took my buddy and I for a ride in one of his wood powered Dodge pickup trucks and I was impressed. I've run deuces off serveral types of fuel and know they are pretty...

I have two A3 Deuce rims (no tires) in Winter Haven Fl that need a ride up this way. I can meet you in GA or anywhere fairly close to AL. Thanks.

Today I and my faithful sidekick, along with two possums, took the M927 up to Redstone to pick up the latest object of my affliction to whit an unidentified command trailer of questionable parentage. While there we met up with fellow member kdaniels and his buddy who were recovering his cherry...

A while back I picked up a set of tow lights that are used when towing a vehicle with a military wrecker. The end that plugs into the wrecker had some pins missing so I decided to splice another end onto it.....and therein lies a tale of wiring woe. As you can see by the photo the end that...

We have been clearing some land and doing a few construction projects around the LZ and one of our prime movers is a M817 dump truck. It belongs to fellow SS member Smothernu and he has been doing the honors as far as operating it. The damage so far has been to raise the level of a road that...

We are clearing 30 acres of land to make pasture out of and I am in need of a dump truck to haul stumps and debris with. I would consider buying one or renting if you trust me to take care of it or repair any damage. It needs to be close to 35904 and cheap if for sale. I need it yesterday...

When is the next get SS together in Northern Florida? I may ride down an pick up some stuff from a fellow member.

I won one tent out of Lockborn today. My intention was to get at least ten but the best laid plans of mice and men oft go astray. So I need someone to get that one and hold it for me or buy it for what I have in it (about 200 bucks). These tents were sold without frames (your DRMO goofs at...

Yesterday Elmo and I made a trip to Redstone to pick up a 5000 gallon tanker I had bought for a customer. I think it was brand new......there was a faint smell of diesel in the tank but all the TO&E equipment was still sealed in their container. It was Elmo's first road trip since his...
