    M127 Deck Repair/Care

    So anyone using anything other than a diesel and motor oil mix to treat their decking? I am thinking about pressure washing mine first and them hosing it down with the diesel/oil mix. Some one once told me if you saturate the wood with water then heated it while applying pressure you could...

    I can feel them move? How do you grease it up with the trailer is on it? Would Kroil oil work or does it have to be something heavy like grease? I have even thought of setting up my farm jack on the platform and lifting the trailer up some so I can use the jacks to reduce weight on the fifth...

    Arkansas MV Registration

    I just got antique tags for my 813 so I know she is wrong or else my girl was. You also don't need a title if the vehicle is over 25 years old a bill of sale is enough and if it is under $3200 i think it is sales tax free too!

    M543A2 finally home from drum. Thanks Doghead.

    I am amazed their are any still in inventory, mine had a stent with Home Land Security after active duty ended and prior to going on the auction block, and mine was completely drained of fluids including the crane reservoir! It's a fun truck, now you have to start the quest of all of the kit.

    M543A2 finally home from drum. Thanks Doghead.

    Welcome to the world of the M543, compared to the 816s out there we are a kinda select group. Was it a GL auction win or GSA?

    M813 WW for $1640

    I now wish I had spent the $1600 for the M51A1 with winch as well, both looks completed and I really need a parts truck for my M543! Maybe next auction?
