    Air dryer replacement for sure.

    My original round one still works & the air tanks are dry, so for now, the old one will stay. Next year, I 'll get the new one from Suprman when I get the rest of the gremlins sorted out!

    LMTV Gunners Platform Install Start

    Well, we can add a name to the list of folks to avoid @ all costs. It is too bad that you had to go to this length to let him make it good, only to come up empty handed. This guy tried to sell me a HEMMT tractor, but I had no use for a parts tractor @ any price. What comes around, goes around...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I'm taking Betsy, my M35a2c Deuce, to work again this week instead of last week. The Boss & others nixed the last week run due to the alphabet agency's inspections of the plant; anybody that knows me understands the plight. If I posted what was up, only a few would even believe me; anyway we...

    If I understand you correctly, GP may have multiples of one item & if you contact them (or they contact you) you can buy the item @ the starting list price. The only places I have seen this is on electrical equipment usually, but never on trucks or other rolling stock. Pile on guys if I am...

    Confused & Frustrated with Govplanet Customer Care

    I had the cash, but when checking with Western Union for wiring the full amount, the fee for wiring the money was over several hundred $$$. After getting the bright idea of checking with my credit union, the fee for wiring the remainder of the money was $25.00 total. That was a no brainer to say...

    Yes, replace the Tractor Protection Diaphram first, which you will find above the rear axel bolted on the frame cross over. While you are at it, you might want to check the diaphrams in the shuttle vales to see if they are blasted thru due to age. We still want to see pictures............

    Confused & Frustrated with Govplanet Customer Care

    Back in April when I bought my LMTV, I called CS @ GovPlanet to ask about payment methods. The rep told me I could pay $5000.00 of the total on my CC and wire the remainder in. I had him run the amount on the card & wired the rest in that afternoon. Payment confirmation showed up the next day on...

    Field stove 18in. x 24in. x 12in. Newark, OH to Central IL

    Do you mean the entire stove or just the burner unit? Being gasoline or diesel is of no matter about size as they are the same. Just the burner is not a heavy item.
