I was rummaging through the storage and came up on this slave cable, I don't remember what truck it came out of but it looks pretty usefull in the right situation. It is a pretty slick field modification.
I found this trailer on the side of a country road in the Mississippi delta, it is in pretty bad shape and it looks like the dove tail on it broke off and they just threw it up on the trailer. I noticed it has a couple of guide rollers up front , it seems like a pretty stout trailer. Worth saving?
I have started cleaning up one of the shorter Pioneer Tool Trailers I 'won' at Camp Shelby last month. Other than one of the clam shell doors missing a hold up the little trailer is in pretty good shape even with it being a third full of water for a year, the landing leg pin has a long stroke...
I am going to look at an M813 with 12K showing on the odometer, I am going to take a couple of batteries to see if it will turnover, it has been out of service at least two years so anything in particular I should look out for? On my 818 fuel leaks are a big problem is it the same with the...
I found the two Winch Propeller shafts at a local junk yard, he had dozens of shafts but these were the only two that were OD and look usable to me. The smaller one I am pretty sure fits my M37 I am hoping the larger one(57 inches Long) will work in my Deuce, can anyone ID it?

I was over at my favorite forestry compound picking up a trailer and watching the guys load a couple of deuce on a low boy. He had to move a 5 ton tractor(multi-fuel) about a foot to access the last deuce maybe less than a foot, he picked it up by the front axle and rolled it forward, it...
I may soon have the chance to purchase a M543. with bed removed. my question is this is a gasser my A2 is diesel in the conversion was the engine and transmission the only change between the two models?

Last week I won two Pioneer Tool trailers(the short type) located at Camp Shelby, MS. When I bid on them I assumed they had to have an EUC, like everything else, nope! Now I may be in a fix, I am on vacation next week if I can't get them to extend the pickup window is there anyone near Camp...
Ran up on a Military 250 CFM compressor trailer, the compressor is gone but a lot of the goodies are still in the trailer tool boxes. My question is how many cfm's does it take to run say the circular saw, chain saw or fluid pump off one of these units, any ideas?

I am trying to use my new power bleeder on the Hog truck, it's master cylinder vent is completely different from those I have seen in all the threads in the search results. They show the same type vent I have on my differentials. Mine has a L in the top of the MC filler cap and a brake line...
Found time to work on the VFD monster bumper that was added to the M715/6217 I won in the Oklahoma Forestry Commission auction a few months ago. The firemen who built the bumper were at the compound when I loaded the truck. They wished me well on getting it off, the guy said they welded on...
I need a source for the manuals for the GTB Burma Jeep. The only numbers I have come up with are below, I have already checked the resource tab with no luck. I plan on picking mine up this week or next and I would like to at least look through the manuals first.

FORD BURMA JEEP GTB...
I made my weekly call to the local Dial-A-Trade radio show and had a hit! Guy said he had a Burma Ford truck. He has no idea on the price, I am thinking $500.

My recovery of my beat M105 trailer and large towbar could have gone better! I got the Trailer and twobar for $191, I really just wanted the towbar for my wrecker. Called ahead and found out one trailer tire was toast. The GL folks were very helpful with the recovery( I take back "some" of...
Turned in my EUC on Friday and on Wednesday it has cleared so in the last six months my EUC record is 4 months for the longest to three business day for the shortest!
