On my last little business trip I managed to pass through Memphis so I arranged a stop at Memphis Equipment for some shear pins for the trucks. Since I was there I tried to get all I would need over the next few years since I don't get to Memphis too often, anyway I got pins for the 10K, 20K...

I got a pretty complete Winch setup for my Deuce this weekend, all but the cab linkage and pto. But the frame extensions have been slotted to fit a M715. I think it will bolt up fine I just wonder about the stability of the mount with the amount of material removed? James PS: I need a pto...

I was in Little Rock (Camp Robinson) today picking up a couple of M105s and asked about an M818 that was coming up for auction. The GL guy let me know it had been turned in as B or Q so he was going to have to watch it be crushed!!! This is a truck with less than 8k miles on it; it was never...

I can't just buy one M796, so is anyone interested in the other one, located in MO. PM me. James

Pick up my first Deuce with a box on the back, turns out it was cheaper to buy a truck with storage than put up a small shed to house my junk, so the truck was free! GL in Little Rock is great, Sherman is a pleasure to work with. We were picking up our Deuce when we met a another father and...

I had someone send me this link on a visit to the Littlefield Tank Collection. This may be the same guy the History Channel had a special on last year. Who ever owns it they must be made out of money! Enjoy http://home.comcast.net/~szee1a/tanks/tanks.html James G. .

While on my never ending quest I ran up on this M38A1 late model. It is in Russellville, Arkansas and he is asking $2500 for it. The trucks runs and has a pretty nice commercial steel hard top on it. It is a little rough, with the worst of the roughness being the front fenders have been...

Got a call yesterday asking if I would be interested in a tank? The guy heard I restored military vehicles and his neighbor wanted a stock trailer he owned and wanted to trade him a army tank for it! He has seen the tank before but knew nothing about it, other than it has tracks. He was...

Anyone else win a Deuce in Little Rock yesterday? I got the one with the box in the back. A little more than I wanted to pay but only 80 miles from home. James G

Went to Hooks to make my second recovery attempt on the 818, used all the good info given over the last attempt, while following the fuel line I found a fuel shutoff just before the primary fuel filter housing, opened it and checked the fuel shutoff on the IP and she started right up, rough but...

While out Junk Yard roaming I found a good size Vice for my wrecker, I own one now but it is in Tulsa and out of reach so for scrap value ($10) and a little Silikroil and some tapping I now have a pretty presentable working Vice for the M543A2! James G.

While I was looking at a M543 in a local junk yard I noticed a M35 Tractor there, it is the first one I have ever seen. It looks like like a really short wheel base' James G.

I have run up on a M543 (no Bed) in a junk yard. I am pretty sure it is still a gasser. Is the running gear the same on the 543 and the 543A2 the same, can I use the t case transmission, drive shafts, axles etc. on my 543A2? I have been worried that over time some of the more specialized...

Spent Friday in Hooks TX, picked up my compressor, medical chest and 5Ton Winch, had to wait an hour since someone came in early and got my appointment, no problem, I'm picking up my 5Ton! Traveled the 4 miles to Lone Star to pick up my long awaited M818 (6000 miles since rebuild), check all...

I tried one of those radio Dial-A-Trade shows where you call what you want to sale or buy, well I ended with I wanted to buy any old military vehicles available, and I got a call, It looks pretty rough but seem to have all the major part there, it is, from what I can tell, a 1941 MB, the guy...

Did anyone on the forum get one of the 818s down in Hooks this week? I may be going down next week to pick up my Lube Trailer and could give you an update on condition, I am going to try to look at what(818s) they have coming up for bid anyway. James G.

Who all won the 818s up for bid last week in Hooks and OK City? I think I would have except when I went to bid on lot 3500, I had about 5-6 people in my office looking for a lot of none MV related answers and I had just been outbid on all five of the 818 I had bid on, so I had to bid in a...

I have a couple of soft tops for my Deuce that I can't use due to the hard plastic ridge that fits into the rail across the top of the windshield is either broken or missing all together. I have tried several of the mil. parts places like Saturn with no luck. Has anyone tried some of the soft...

Does anyone know what lowboy trailer this is? Forestry has so I am pretty sure it was military. James G.

I won my Dolly M198A1, I had to bid on it three times but now it is All Mine! I am a little nervous about the two failures to pick up the dolly but it looks fine in the photos and the price was right! I just hope I can roll it home behind my Armada, tongue weight is showing 250lbs at 30...
