All those are still sitting there. Sounds like the GP guy is so overworked that he can't even get them lotted.

Looks like it's sitting on a single axle 5x8 trailer like you carry a lawn tractor with. Does that tell you anything?

A2, that's got the direct 5th gear 754 transmission right? Gonna be a long ride at the double nickel.

The yard on the I-30 feeder road in New Boston is Red River Parts and Equipment, unaffiliated with GP. GP has a new yard on US 82 near the main entrance of RRAD.

Welcome and great rescue! I would pour plenty of mystery oil into all the cylinders and let things soak before attempting to run the engine. Valves can tend to stick open. When you do your oil change, stick your pinky in the pan and see if you have deep sludge, if so I would pull the pan and...

The 7155 behaves like any manual transmission, except that clutch operation and movement of gears is done pneumatically, not with your feet and hands. The problem with other engines is finding the special flywheel.

Read the FLU thread as to the frustrations people go through to fix these. If you need a machine to move dirt and not have to sink weeks of wrenching into, get a Case 580.

There are dozens of these waiting to be sold by Govplanet at Red River. They are all pitiful having been parked in the woods for years. That's before the GP people start handling them with a forklift, then the real damage begins.

The van for the M791 looks like the same M4 expansible van that is mounted on the super common M313 6 ton trailer.

We should export 6TLs to all unfriendly nations.

Wegolook does this. But honestly unless the inspector was an Army wheeled vehicle mechanic or a specific Steelsoldiers member, he/she will not know where to start.

Whoa. Moves in HL but not H is blown CV joint.

I bought one on ebay a long time ago and no black suburbans at my house yet.

If your hubs are quiet, just put it all back like it was. It is very easy to mark how much the bearing nut was tightened and re- tighten it to the same clocking. You can do this with your fingers believe it or not.

Auctionaddict reported 8 hrs on front and 4 on rear. Something like that anyway. For the entire job.

Not saying that. Looking at the auction results, GP has sold 23 M1079s and 2 M1079A1s as of this date. That plus a few that GL sold is it other than a handful sold on GSA. That is all that is out there to pick from. Uncle probably bought 1000's of these and all will eventually be sold.

Welcome. I would do a search on past auction results for M1079 and M1079A1 on Govplanet. They have sold 90% of the FMTVs and you will get an idea what is out there and the astronomical prices the vans bring.

I would call Feltz tire in New Boston TX, they have the Red River scrap tire contract and might have some of these at a good price close.

The engine and powertrain are easy to find parts for. The problem with the old wreckers is that every single cylinder packing and hose needs replacement.
