Has anyone used one of these. Looking into using to one like it if GL sells one close enough to me. Couple months ago some sold at Meade for about $200. I am just gathering supplies now for my waste oil setup.
I have done a few recoveries of trailers out of Meade and New Castle so far with a bill of sale from GL. The most important things to do is:
1- Working lights
2- Load secure (aurthorties like nothing moving)
2- Safety chains ( I hook a 4foot piece of chain with hooks on each end looped over and...
Inspecting is the best but sometimes not an option. Bought two 923s one inspected one not. The one we didn't inspect we bought at a price we could live with by what the pictures showed. I also live by the theroy to always to "Get" two just for the fact of parts. I realize that this is not an...
Great looking truck. Looks to be very little rust if any. I also noted the star on the door. Was it a Red River reset? Also just a question has anyone out there added a turbo set up on a A1. Is it possible? I have a 1990 Ford (civilian) 7.3 and a turbo helped it out a lot.
Great score. I have been looking at the kitchens. I currenlty have a shell (avatar) Im going to be using for my alternative fuel processing shelter. Looking at the MKTs that the surplus market is getting its very tempting.
Hey Beyond Biodiesel or others
I have been filtering and blending different oils for a while now. Is there any oil a person should stay away from. I have found that thinner oils act just like diesel but is there an oil that should be avoided completely? One that I have access to is some used...
All right now I want one. Not sure if I want a 4 door but a bobbed would be nice. Like your choice of paint. Can you tell where you bought it and what shade it is?
I also bought one of these year unknown. Sent the paperwork in for a 1990. What was the year range for the 923? Maryland needs to be 25 to put on historic plates. Our plan is to get it prepped mechanically now and tag it Jan 2 (or when the road salt leaves).\
Just a question do you typically...
Does anyone know if the military is planning on selling a lot of Mkt's? Seen GL sell some lately been thinking about another one that is more equipped. The one I got is empty.
Just curious, what price does a "cannibalized" condition" Mep go for? This could be a way for me also to get spare parts. It would appear that once the government gets rid of all the gensets parts will be hard to get at a reasonable price.
Hey all
Looking for the surge brake shock for a M101a2 trailer. Any one got any? Or know where to get them. Looking for 4 (not for the one trailer). Found them on the net for around $70.00. but thought the show would be better.
Thanks Robert
I would recommend to pour in the gasoline first and then pour in the WVO or WMO (never both could jell). This way it will be mixed the best, other wise it could separate again in the barrel or be rich with gas in the top of the barrel. Or you could pump mix once blended.
I am also looking. I currently have two M923A2 BMY. One is a reset with the 1/2 numbers stamped about center of axle on left side of the frame. The non reset are un found so far.
I'm also new to the 5 tons. Recently scored 2 at GL with my two sons. Does anyone know what the max (or safe) speed of the 3 different tires are. I would prefer not to loose all my air at once in any tire while driving. Has anyone experienced a blowout? Does it give any warning (sound or bounce)?
My son converted his 101 into a dump trailer. It worked but like others said it is not designed to dump constantly. It will fail eventually. Since trying this a couple times my son has discontinued the dump practice and we bought a Bri-Mar dump trailer. I did read here or someone told me that it...
I'll be improving my set up compared to the small scale process using 5 gallon buckets. My avatiar will be my filter blending mobile trailer. When ever I get started I will post some pictures.
Remember blend settle filter. Time settling is your friend.
Planning on a recovery of a Gen trailer Wednesday 3 12 2014. Does anyone need me to look at anything while Im there? Dont give me a list of all trucks but I can look over a couple if that would help.
