Helped my brother get the 5 ton bed on his stretched m105a2 frames this past weekend. Fit is pretty good. Rear axle tire placement is just a trial. Don't think he is going that route.
These are located in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. Zip code 47025 for those who wish to know how far away. Good access for vehicles/trailers and can accommodate large trucks if need be.
Ok, I have several huge modular milsurp tents I would like to sell. I bought as an auction lot with thoughts of...
Well I didn't expect this to happen, but I now own an M54a2. I had to sell my personal 931 a few years back for various reasons and have been looking for a replacement for last year or so. I like the big cabs and big tires on the M939 series trucks as well as the cummins motors and allison...
Hello everyone. I am back. It's been a long dry spell, but I am finally back in the military vehicle nut house. After a knee replacement several years back I was no longer able to enjoy the M931a2 tractor anymore. I made the pragmatic but still painful decision to sell it instead of watching...
I sold my lmtv trailer to a young fella from Alaska who is working the oilfields in North Dakota.
He asked me to post and ask about tranport possibilites for the trailer. It is completely road worthy for towing. I can also easily load onto any type trailer from gooseneck to semi flatbed.
If...
Finally able to get the new tires/rims and soft top on my brothers deuce last week during the warm up. Aluminum MRAP rims with XZ tires. New insulated soft top also. Look for a for sale ad for the hard top in the classifieds forum soon. he isn't keeping it.
Southeast Indiana to Nashville with empty gooseneck. Nov. 8 or Nov. 10
I am heading to Nashville next week to pick up a shelter dolly set up. 25 foot gooseneck flatbed. Plenty of room both ways.
Trip planned for Wednesday 8 November or Friday 10 November and will depend on whether or not I...
Nashville area pick up and hold for a few days.
I have a tow dolly just south of Nashville I need to recover, but only day rep is there is Wednesday 8am to 2pm. Would like to see if someone local could get it off post for me. I would be able to pick up same weekend, so should only be a few days...
I found a buyer for the deuce tractor and sent it on it's way this morning. Kind of bittersweet, but I couldn't find time to dedicate to it and I was not going to let it sit in a field and rust away. The sheetmetal is too good of shape to do that. Anyway, the new owner is happy. I am happy...
Perusing the local craigslist a few weeks ago and this popped up not too far away. I have been wanting to sell my m101a1 to get an a2 or a3, but when I found this I
Figured I would make my own a3 out of the existing one.
The guy I got it from said it originally had a generator and a...
So I did a bit of spray can spruce up for Monday's Memorial day parade. Haven't had time to get the new hood installed and didn't want all the crustiness showing. Rustoleum camo spray paint from walmart to the rescue.
Also bypassed the shutterstat to check fan clutch operation as it hasn't come...
Well it was a chore but I got the m1082 and the two m1101s picked up and brought home last Monday. This thing is a beast. I knew it was big as I had researched prior to purchasing, but man. It's hard to believe how large until standing next to it. They are a bish to load as well. A shout out to...
We replaced the rim on the rear of my brothers Kubota today. When we got back from the local tire shop we rolled one of his mrap rim with tire in place just to see what it would look like.
This just might be a future upgrade for the little Kubota!
Ok, I am driving the 5 ton home tomorrow.
M931a2 out of Columbus, Ohio to southeast Indiana just west of Cincinnati, Ohio. I wasn't able to procure transportation for a reasonable cost and have no choice but to self recover. I am posting this to alert anybody along the way if I run into any...
Ok, I am going to check out an m35a3 and was hoping to garner some quick pointers from the A3 gurus prior. I did several searches and my head is hurting from reading through everything on my phone. Don't have pics or any knowledge of the truck other than it runs and has a title.
Thanks in...
Got an email notice about an auction for a deuce the other day, that was ending shortly. I don't have any place to store it, I haven't done much to the deuce I bought New Years eve day yet, and I am a bit low on cash and it is 3 hours away from here, so of course I threw up a low ball, last...
Ok, I have tried searching for the answers and haven't come up with much so I apologize if this has been covered or beaten into the ground. I have found a few threads about trials and tribulations or lack thereof from other states, but not much that applies to or will help me here in Indiana...
Picked up the 5 ton and got it home through the monsoon this evening. Had to drive it off post then sit in a walmart parking lot for 3.5 hours until hauler got there. Drives really well and fires on first hit.
Got to see a tremendous sunset on the way home also.
I am picking up my 2 pallets in Groveport on Friday. Will have room for several more as I am taking my 18 foot flatbed trailer. Willing to pickup and drop off along the way or pickup and hold for a while. I will be picking up at noon.
Thanks
Mike
