    Government Liquidation pre sale inspections

    Westech all has changed out at Riley since you left. The DRMO guys put the GL guys on a short leash. You have to have an escort with you in the yard now and DRMO won't let them use their big fork truck and the GL fork can't go in the back (east) lot. I used to bring my own batteries and a slave...

    Your thoughts on this M211 please?

    I paid almost that much to get a hard top for my M135, go for it. It's not military but I am pretty it is the aftermarket one that was sold by Memphis Equipment .

    M101 Electrical Harness Differences

    :ditto:To the above I have a 57 and a 59 M101 they both have the early style parking brake handles but neither have the box in the middle. They both have the later style on the side rail. The early M100 also had the double ended cable and a box to store it in.

    M211 mess truck

    My M35A2 a NDNG that I got this year at Ft Riley was set up that way. The screen wire had been pulled, had a extended top, plywood rear door and troop seat mounted to the outside. They also used them to dry the pots and pans.

    I haven't signed up yet but I retire in April 2012 and was born in Alaska in a WWII surplus Quonset Hut. My dad was transferred to Luke AFB when I was 6mos old and have always wanted to go back. I was planning on a M109/rv but after doing the math I am going with M890 and M101A2 trailer. Dodge...

    820's at Fort Riley---- SO CHEAP

    From what I could find out most of those trucks were sent to reset over 5 years ago, so have been sitting for a long time. Like others have said the peeling paint made them look rough and several had major drive line,engine, body things wrong that did not show up in the GL pictures. I had one...

    School me on Surge Brakes

    When you pick up your trailer from GL makes sure the break away paw is all the way down, no notches showing. I had a newbie buddy get one and it was just one notch up, it took about 40 miles on the interstate before it locked it up and burnt one of the shoes.

    Did you know....

    :ditto:The DRMO fork truck guy broke the air tank off my otherwise mint M105A2 trailer I got out there 3 weeks ago, moving it post auction. When I was waiting for my M1009 EUC out there to clear, I was picking up another lot and saw a DRMO guy using my truck to pull and jump other trucks out...

    Day 2 of the Saga.... Got the rest of the frame up today and a couple of times nearly got knocked of the ladder by wind gusts. In my past life I was a Tanker and having to self recover and replace a thrown track in blowing sleet/snow with just your crew is one of the hardest things I have...

    32X24 Maintance tent, tale of woes

    My 38X30 wood frame shop is in need of a demo and rebuild as a steel sheeted pole barn. So to have a place to store tools and a few MV's for the winter I went after a maintenance frame tent that was in 2 separate GL auctions weeks apart at Ft Riley. 1st auction was supposed to be 3 of the new...
