    Help out a new guy!

    My roof is stomped in the middle too, cant even tell from the front. I actually didn't notice 'till I got it home. There are boot prints on the headliner & someone drew a "Kilroy" on it in chalk-must have been trying to push the top back up. I think it wil straighten out pretty good. I saw...

    Post auction deuce inspection Camp dodge

    Yes, Sgt. Birkenholz was great to talk to. When I was in his office he had a dozen padlocks on his desk for the fresh drop-offs. He was cruising around in a just turned in 113CAV deuce W/W, turret ring & whistler.

    Post auction deuce inspection Camp dodge

    I saw your machine,rat, sitting across the lot from me today as I winched mine up on the trailer, pretty easy to spot with the tan! I got lucky with tool box contents too, as I posted in my intro thread. Didn't even notice 'till I got home. Good news- There were several more Deuces being...

    Been lurking long enough....HI!

    Deuce is home! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v242/gastrap/Picture039.jpg Called this morning & went down at noon to pick her up. My jump packs wouldn't crank it, so we just dropped the tail & winched it up. Got the batteries topped off & charging slow overnight so hopefully it will come...

    Help out a new guy!

    Congrats! I got mine Saturday afternoon too, wasn't expecting that! I think you need to send a copy of your invoice with the signed pickup authorization statement with your driver. Not sure about pickup days/times, I have to call yet myself. The contact on base is 515 252 4353. I'm going to...

    Stanadyne / Roosa Master Inj. Pump problems

    Thats correct. There's a rubber ring that holds the governor basket onto its drive plate. It disintigrates and contaminates the pump. If it runs this way too long it will destroy the pins on the 2 steel parts. The replacement ring is of a better material & lasts longer. Make sure you put a...

    Deuce oil.

    You must mean 15W40 plus 50? The plus 50 indicates the additive package is supposed to run you 50% past a normal service interval. This is what I will use (no deuce till tomorrow), I work at a Deere dealership so Im a little biased.;-)...

    Genset

    Kind of what I was thinking. Ive got a lot of old "gee thats cheap" stuff in the shop that I do nothing with and some isnt worth what I paid for. Just wanted a few opinions, I didn't want to hear that GL just sold pallets of them for $5:wink: Think I'll probably get it, but it will be a...

    Genset

    Sorry to drag up an ancient thread but, this was the only discussion I could find on these. I have no idea what these may be worth. I have the opportunity to buy one like new, in case with sealed spare parts in canvas roll for $60. Deal or no deal? It seems though virtually useless, it would...

    Been lurking long enough....HI!

    Yeah, he told me there were not many empty spots in the NE lot when they started. There were about 80 trucks in the NW lot & maybe 55 in the NE lot when I was there on the 5th, my estimates could be off. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v242/gastrap/Picture033.jpg...

    Been lurking long enough....HI!

    Yes, I'm addicted to Garands & Carbines in a bad way:-D Well, I finally got my paid invoice today! Wasn't expecting it on a Saturday but that's fine with me. A total of 10 business days at Battle Creek for this first one. I'll try to call someone Monday & pick it up that morning. I was...

    Help out a new guy!

    Get your EUC today Biggles? I think yours & mine went to BC the same day & I didn't get mine yet. Hopefully by noon Friday so I can still go get it.:| Ive had the same phone # & address for 17 years, should be pretty easy for them.

    EUC sent to Battle Creek

    Recovering at Camp Dodge.

    I started a few on the north lot, wouldn't say all the "junk" went there. The majority of the VERY rusty ones were on the west lot backed up to the berm.

    Recovering at Camp Dodge.

    I know the displayed closing prices are not accurate, but the non-runner showed something around $816 at the end.

    Probably one of the 3 trucks that used the same pic on the auctions.

    Help out a new guy!

    Looks like a great day! Can't wait to get my invoice. Kind of hard to see Scotts chains in the pic, but looks like only two. IIRC DOT requires 4 chains & 4 binders on any load over 10K#. Hope he doesn't get a high $$ ticket. BTW,Nice rig:-D
