    IronPlanet.com Selling Military Rolling Stock SOON!

    Unless the price is worded into the fed statute describing the issue of sf-97 forms then the gov probably does not get paid for the forms. Whatever fee GL gets it keeps. I dont see them making enough money charging 60 bucks a form to really make any profit after paying employees and overhead to...

    I have seen on the sf-97 and supporting docs what GL gives the gov and it's not much. A 5 ton cargo cuts the gov around 70k. If I paid 4000 the gov got a few hundred.

    Rear brakes locked up on my 931a2 while driving in traffic.

    The mil shutterstat is set for 205 I believe. The gage temp sender is at a different location from the shutterstat there can be a small temp difference and the gage is not always right anyways. I went with a 195 degree replacement my temp gage still says 205 when it comes on though. You can...

    IronPlanet.com Selling Military Rolling Stock SOON!

    Iron Planet offers their "Ironclad assurance" on certain items. They stand behind their inspection/evaluation of the items. Other items are sold as-is. I dont think they would offer anything on the gov surplus. I had to pay via bank wire when I purchased thru them they did not have a credit card...

    The gov contract may require them to run the gov auctions differently though. I have to believe everything is pretty much spelled out in the contract. Only time will tell.

    No I have won auctions at the 25 dollars starting bid. Plus fees of course. Most of the auction sites that sell municipal and gov property have low starting bids.

    I always wondered if the 25 dollar start price was part of the gov contract. I have bought from Iron Planet before they usually start stuff at a reasonable price but not giving anything away.

    I am curious what locations they will use. GL owns the Truckcenters so Iron Planet will either need to find another dump area or sell only from on base.

    No Title for Truck - What Am I missing?

    Look at your states title requirements. Many don't require a title for a vehicle 20 years or older. If this is the case you should be able to walk into dmv with just a bill of sale. If the seller has the sf97 then the truck has never been registered and never in the nationwide dmv system. It...

    New to me M923A2 - A couple of questions

    Tm says to drain air tank petcocks every day, after use, to keep water out of the air system.

    New to me M923A2 - A couple of questions

    You are loosing prime somewhere there is probably a small air leak. It has an injection pump. The fan comes on around 200 degrees there is a shutterstat control on the upper radiator hose. Get an ir thermometer and measure if you think something is not right. Did you check the coolant level...

    M931A2 Starting trouble

    An A2 should reset itself when the control is pushed back in. Sometimes the emergency stop cable is slightly bent and does not allow the solenoid to move into the run position. Its something that can be hand adjusted. I ran across this firsthand I had a truck that started intermittently I was...

    I cant edit the titles of my classified ad posts just the content. Is it possible to make a change for that also? Will

    M923A2 CTIS Problem

    The system sends 12psi to hold the wheel valves open to air down the tires. If you have a fill side leak somewhere it can trick the wheel valves. Even though the valve body is sending full pressure the leak is venting out somewhere and around 12psi makes it to the wheel valve and you dump air...

    M923A2 CTIS Problem

    Does the system do an initial pressure check and then attempt to fill air? You will hear air moving thru the cab valve body in spurts usually.

    Trying M813s and M939s at Tractor pulls

    I had mine in low range and put the shifter in 1st and left it there. I had done a bunch of pulls the vid is of the final one. No one else there could pull it at all. I was very surprised since there were real full sized road semi trucks. I figured those things would have some power. My tractor...

    M923A2 CTIS Problem

    If it sounds like a groaning siren it's a bad hub seal. A bad hub seal can truck the wheel valves into thinking they are seeing dump pressure and your tires will deflate. If you think there is a leak around one of the wheel valves find an assistant with some windex and spray the valve lines and...
