    M1101 and F150 successful recovery

    I have recovered three M1102's to date this summer with a Toyota Tacoma 4x4 & a pocket full of gas money. The one way distances were 200 to 320 miles home each time with no brake or axle problems that stopped the recovery process. The last one with the bows & cover had to come off to stop the...

    How many ways does government liquidation suck let me count the ways!

    Being a new guy on the block to buying from GL was a different animal than other auction sites, mostly because of being Government affilated. A few dozen pallets & three trailers, doesn't make me anything but a newbie, but all the GL folks I have had to deal with in Florida, Georgia & Oklahoma...

    M1102 tagged and on the road

    The license plate idea is great, I'll give it a try. You have as many M1101/2's in your yard as I do, do your neighbors give you any grief over looking like an army base parking lot?

    TM and Wiring question for MEP701A/16B

    That might explain why I burned up my Direct TV system when I hooked the MEP-016B genset to my home during a hurricane outage years ago. I may have to revisit the old genset & use it as a 110v only power source, instead of trying to let the breaker panel split the load! Good luck with your system!

    M35a2 dilemma

    I'm in agreement with the guys who say not to part it out, do the PM's on the fluids & filters, plus anything else & sell her to another new SS member or someone who has no truck as a running truck. If there were thousands of these trucks left on the bases, it might be a different story, but...

    M1102 Recovery From Atlanta

    Had abit of spare time today, so I replaced the center plates on top of the hoops & used larger SS self tapping screws to hold everything together a bit tighter. Since the new screws were hex headed, five layers of duct tape protected the vinyl cover from the rounded 5/16" hex heads. The...

    M1102 Recovery From Atlanta

    I picked up a M1102 trailer from Atlanta today on a 650 mile recovery trip from Florida. Trailer was primo, as was the tarp. No dents or damage anywhere. Removed the tarp, left the center plates & checked the wheels for binding. Wheels were fine, even after several checks @ 10...25...75 & 100...

    Covered M1102

    You should enter that engineered design to the original manufacturer for an upgrade to their canvas/vinyl covered design. Very nice work all around!

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    M1061a1 5 ton trailer - air hydraulic brakes broken by GL forklift. Repairs help need

    I watched an operator on base, load two of these trailers on a flatbed for deliver to its new owner. He was careful not to damage anything, not even the paint when he had to push the trailers straight on the semi flatbed. He did have a very large forklift to work with & seemed to care about the...

    Tips for inspecting a generator before purchase

    I had a chance to get two 88' MEP-002s locally with a trailer, but they looked to be not in great shape. One had the battery box removed & the battery cables cut off @ the starter, plus the power cables were cut off out side of the switch box. The other unit was not much better & both of them...
