It is still a good time to send emails to your Senator. Let them pile up over the weekend. I have copied and pasted Zout's comment and link to find your Senator quickly so you don't have to go back and read 10 pages of stuff to find it. The email addresses are listed on this page with another...
Ross Tolleson is a committee member of the Transportation committee. You said they already had a 100%, or unanimous vote at committee.
Do I still need to call him? If I had a copy of the latest proposal, I would knock on his door this weekend if necessary. I sold him and his brother some...
Steven, thanks for the email and heads up. I have not been receiving emails with updates to many of the threads I have been subscribed to. I don't understand it, but it has been difficult to keep up with all the threads I have been interested in, and I certainly have NOT had any clue as to the...
It's all good. The job is done. May I recommend this thread be closed with a "job well done!"
Thanks for all the good work guys.
We are so very, very, fortunate, to have such a fine hard working team man this site.
I know it's gotta be a tough job.
Ron, if you drive one down, send me a PM with your schedule and cell.
I am having my first Granddaughter soon, and will be down in Debary. I might be in a position to give you a ride back, depending. Baby is due on the 17th, but you never know, sooner or later maybe.
We would love to see pictures of that one, hooked up to a civy truck, before and after, and with a one ton load loaded on the back, a close up of the springs, before and after.
That would be the kind of thing well worth documenting and sharing. I wish I had pictures of that fella's M105 from...
I have tried three different size military wheels and tires, lowering the M105 substantially, and added an elevated pintle hitch lift to the back of my Silverado on 18" tires.
It still sits to high. I don't really think there is anything to do to get it level with a civilian truck with that...
I have not, but I have put M1061 tires on them. They are also 6 bold rims. I keep forgetting the name of the other trailer, but it is like a munition trailer or something that has the same wheels that will lower it some.
I have heard of some people putting the springs under the axle, in lieu of...
The front leg I referred to, made by bulldog, is a form, fit, and function replacement.
The only difference is it is silver and needs be painted ODGreen or Desert Tan, whichever is appropriate.
Yes, the M101A2 8 lug wheels will fit on there perfect and lower it.
On the hitch, you can just order the Reese 74280 from Lowes or any auto parts store for between $20-30 and it will fit on there perfect replacing the hydraulic operated reservoir and pintle. You can then sell your pintle and...
Well, I have to go with the special toy build by Jerseyhick for creativity, ingenuity, and skill sets and bring back a well deserved machine for another well deserved vote. The amount of time, money, and effort put into this fabulous machine deserves the recognition.
I have seen a lot of...
I would have thought that any head gasket, on any type of machine, would require torqueing and balancing, whether gas or diesel, motor vehicle, boat, or plane.
Prices are definitely going up on the wreckers from what people paid 2-3 years ago, and maybe even a year ago. Those who bought them made some really good deals back then, and some can double their money if they have them 100%.
I would love to have one, but don't expect it to happen. To much...
I need your landing leg. Also, I would like to see a picture of your mounted dual wheel landing leg, cost, and location to purchase.
Please give us some pictures. I will PM you my address and you can give me a quote on your landing leg you took off if you want to sell it.
Pictures, pictures...
I think my M105A3 has the 22.5 steel rims and truck tires on it. They are higher then the regular 9X20s, but I can also load up the 9X20s in the same place on the trailer, and if I wanted lowboys, I can go with the M1061 wheels and tires.
Just buy a M105A3 and take off the wheels. For what you...
How do you troubleshoot this to see where the specific location of the failure is? Is it a trial and error type of thing?
Gary, please report back your findings when you get on it. Any technical help is appreciated for the rest of us, in both identifying and troubleshooting and any issues you...
We cannot list specific active auctions, however, for general purpose work I can say,
Most of the deuces are sold on these two government approved websites;
Govliquidation.com
or
http://gsaauctions.gov/gsaauctions/gsaauctions/
Finding a specific deuce or auction listing is up to you, but...
