    M932 Recovery?

    Arrived at the forestry compound late as usual, hooked up the towbar and light set, caged(?) the rear axle brakes couldn't on the middle axle, looks like commercial air cylinders there, made sure everything is in neutral, then gave it a tug, both axles are locked, all eight tires are dragging...

    Won a M932 on GSA Last Night

    Talked to the GSA guys today about the tractor which is no longer a tractor, everything behind the cab and above the rails is gone, but he said he thought the truck was complete otherwise! He believes it was turned in to make way for one of the military Freight Liners they are now receiving...

    Won a M932 on GSA Last Night

    That single front shot of the item is to force you to come look at the truck, or so the GSA guy told me. I think they are just lazy, at least a front and rear shot, the last 813 I got had no doors, no way to tell with out a visit! I am looking forward to the recovery but I need to go and prep...

    Won a M932 on GSA Last Night

    Some of the fire departments are good on equipment but some are really terrible, this one has a good paint job, and it looks like they have other 900 series trucks since the hard top is missing. Hopefully the only other things missing are the head lights? But I am an optimist!

    Won a M932 on GSA Last Night

    I try to check GSA pretty often but work gets in the way so it had been a couple of weeks since the last check and surprise 55 mins. left on a pretty nice looking M932 just 80 miles away. So do I spend 5-7k on a 925 or less than 2k on a 932 tractor I may actually use now that I have two 40 foot...

    M543A2 Vs M813 Intake Air Units?

    I hope this is not an 800 series housing, the guy I got it from was not sure what it came off of, I need to measure!

    2012 Petit Jean Rally Sept. 20-22

    I got there just as the trail ride was starting, I think I held it up for a few minutes as I backed the 818 into a parking slot, I was feeling bad and had almost no sleep so after a walk around I headed back to the cabin. Sorry I missed everyone! Some photos are attached, the last one is my...

    M543A2 Vs M813 Intake Air Units?

    I have an extra Air filter unit(M813 Fender Mounted?), the unit on my M543A2 is in poor shape(Rust) are they interchangeable? Are they the same size, they look to be but I don't have it here with me. Filter are different I think but size and bolt arrangement is the question!

    Mine is hard starting too, I am planning on changing out the switch and filter to see if that fixes the problem.
