Anyone bidding on this WC-53 in Kansas, if not I will post the info. James G.

Since I was in Kansas anyway(interview) I stopped by Ft. Riley to make sure GL was not going to list me as abandoning my four auction wins there, as I wait on my EUC to clean on my M105A2. He told me since I was waiting on the EUC he would mark everything as such, so no problem. I had a look...

I just picked up a Zwick wheel barrow type compressor, it was just for parts but I was hoping for "more parts", does anyone have a carburator for one of these they would like to sale??? James G.

Can someone tell me the size of the bolts holding the jerry can holder on the hydraulic pump and tank on the 5 ton wrecker(543/816)? I don't have one on my truck so I am going to fab up the bracket unless someone has one they are willing to part with. The TM has a diagram of the bracket but...

While out driving around I saw these truck for sale, here are a couple of shots of the M813A1 and an M37 for sale. Not a lot of restoration done on either except new tops and a coat of paint(as far as I can tell). I am going to check on the 5 ton price Monday, they want $9500 for the M37...

I am I just overlooking the M105A2 manual in the Tech. Manuals area??? I see one of a A3, but not one just for a plain old A2??? James G.

On a interview trip to TN I stopped in at a junk yard too grown over to pass up and found three Unimogs?, they were about the size of an M37 and in poor shape but there were three of them and the guy said he had never sold a part off of them, though when I asked about a price he "would have to...

I was looking through some of the paperwork that came with my M543A2 and found a "Diagram Stowage Location tools & Equipment". It has a line diagram of the truck from above with locations of all tools and equipment. The back of the laminated sheet has a list of all the issue tools and...

I finally had some luck on getting a medium towbar for the wrecker! I guess bidding was low because there was only one of them in the lot, I expected to pay a good bit more than $220 but I am not complaining. Now if my EUC was approved I could pick up my M105A2 and have a load to bring home in...

I need manual number TO-35C2-3-499-1 for a 3kw diesel genset. I need the manual to see what I am doing wrong trying to start this little beast. Any help is appreciated. James G. PS: The one below is Paul P.'s but the same model without wheels.

I just "won" a M105A2 at Ft. Riley, I got a email that I have 7 days to apply for an EUC for it, when did this start, I have picked up a half dozen trailers from there in the last two years and this is the first time for a EUC, I didn't even have one on my wrecker! James G.

I need a meter to do some electrical testing on some gen sets, my 5 ton and also my house wiring(new Mig Welder want a dedicated circuit for it.) So I need a meter to test 12 volt to 240 volts systems will most of them do this??? I have done some house wiring but I always used one of those...

I changed oil and fuel filters on the 5 ton, fuel filters were in terrible shape, especially the secondary ones(hard to reach to change). Oil filters looked pretty good, I let the truck sit for about two weeks to drain the filters. Only had to add a quart or so of oil. Issue is prior to filter...

I am in the process of changing the filters on the M543A2, I pulled the primary fuel filter and found the filter looks nothing like the one that should be in there! My question is am I missing parts to the filter unit? The photos below show what I have, the filter bowl, two small washers, a...

This Memorial Day weekend the Natioanl Cemetery in Fayetteville would like to have a MV display for their flag day event, this is when local organizations place flags on all the veterans' graves(Sat. May 26th). If you are in the area and would like to participate PM me I would like to get back...

I was on my way from NW Arkansas to Dallas via the backroads when I ran up on this piece of artillery on display in a very small town. It is in great shape for just being on the side of the road, not even a broken light! Had to share. James G.

If you are interested in adding a crane to you MV here is your chance, one new-in-the-box is up for bid in Oklahoma. James G. http://cgi.govliquidation.com/auction/view?id=1206817&convertTo=USD

Anyone recoginze a starter for my 5 ton. I am going to have a look at mine tomorrow to see if one of these is a match. I was looking at a diesel gen set this guy has and saw the starters, don't know a price yet but I bet they go pretty cheap. James G.

Drove about 6-8 miles in the wrecker today, just a tour around town, like being in a parade, a very loud parade! Once I got out on the road my fuel gage went crazy and has not been sane since, I guess it has a short, it now jumps everywhere or just shows a full tank? Anyway it was a great...

For those looking there are six wrecker coming up for sale in Mississippi in a few days, some of them are pretty scavenged but one or two look ok. Anyone near by who can have a look? James G...
