. Tom, I don't think you have the "corner market" on that group of younger people. Our youngest is my son at 37 and he is the baby of the workforce here. Third generation. We are in the printing business, so it is skilled labor. Just like repairing machines where you are it isn't magic...

Hi Toby, Yessir, it is amazing for what it is. Chances are there are cheap chinese knock-offs and the better versions too. One or two pickup truck loads unloaded is pretty good - but what you have in mind is a LOT more than that! I almost wonder if the dumper with the gate chained short...

Toby, Going in on the cheap, what about using something like I have for my pickup truck? It is a tarp that rolls onto a pole that is strapped to the tailgate. I bought it a long time ago but it has unloaded mulch and gravel. Adding another tarp under the "rollup tarp" gives is something to...

. Wow! Neat place to go for a spin around the desert for sure. A couple of those pictures would be nice to hang on your wall. .

. Somehow we as a country need to stand up for ourselves. We just need to say NO to buying chinese junk. I am not a rich man by any means, but I will spend a few dollars more for Made Here in America. If all of us did that, there would be more work for people who work here. I am somewhat...

. Agreed! Stupidity isn't restricted to one country or another. Same here in North Carolina. I have had experiences in one location that made me want to strangle somebody. Get in the vehicle, ride a few miles to another county - and suddenly the problem is NOT a problem. Definitely go try...

. You could order a sample bottle from a company and have your motor oil analysed. There are companies that do that sort of thing for a living. They should be able to tell you what is in there besides oil. Search here for " Blackstone Laboratories" as one possible option. (No, I don't work...

Remember that an EXPERT is defined as: "Ex" is a has been and a (s)"pert" is a drip under pressure. I definitely don't claim expert status, but if you need information there are several wrecker guys here that are pretty sharp. As I have fumbled along through learning about mine, I have made...

Wow! You have the newer version with oil bath for the bearings - Maybe the A2? Mine has grease with a metal pan that covers be bearings.

This is the two axle trailer with side boards and also with container locks. Twenty Two and One Half ton variety. TM-9-2330-386-14-and-P is attached Brief Trailer Spec is also attached

. Absolutely! Every tool box needs two things... Duct Tape: Makes things that move stay still WD-40: Makes things that won't move will move. Gotta have some of each. Just in case!

. Wow! That is nice. Should make it nice to crawl back for a nap if you wanted to :)

Looks to me like some of those should have my name on them... Don't ever think there are to many shackles and clevises. Thanks for digging around in your stash! Be sure to let me know what I bought :cool: Tim

. Welcome from North Carolina! Congratulations on your new truck!! I would definitely spend a bit of time thumbing through the -10 (Operators Guide) Technical Manual. That helps get your head around the levers and switches. Simple things like wondering why you don't have brake lights...

. Neat!! That is pretty cool - and lifting it off and on is a really good way to be able to use your truck for other things. Yeah, sometimes girls are that-a-way. They want to have their nice stuff even in the woods. Heck, at least she wants to go out there with you so if all you had to do...

Pay special attention to cattlerepairman's mention of Have 2x6 or 2x8 board handy to block air intake "just in case". The goal there is for you to have a way to turn the motor off it starts to run away. Any time you have a newly minted motor, having a way to make it stop NOW is really...

. There is at least one of two of our members that have complete sets of vinyl decals for our assorted vehicles. I was certain I would find my link to one of their sites - but my brain gave up remembering. I did find a thread about HUMMER stickers. Several vendors have what you need :cool...

. Wow! Really nice setup. It would be cool to see how you have the interior fitted too if you have a few pix of that too. .

Just because... Welcome to the group! Hate to hear that you had trouble with your M936. Definitely isn't cheap if you can't move yourself toward home :-( Seems strange that everything was fine and it just "quit". There is a PCB box on the firewall that might have rolled over and died...

. There is a safety switch. Link below: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/1986-m923-intermittent-no-start-condition.197350/post-2302514
