    What should a MEP-002a / MEP-003a be worth?

    I regularly send Roadway, Saia, etc to GL locations for pickups. Make sure your item is palletized. If you have a good transportation broker you will not pay much for this freight.

    9.00x20 Tire Question

    Once the air is out the lock ring can't fly off anymore. Get a duckbill tire hammer and swing it as hard as you can between the ring and the tire. Then get a sledge hammer and beat on the tire hammer until the duck bill hits the rim. Then remove the duck bill hammer and move it a few inches...

    Issues of Owning a 5 ton wrecker

    Or a pneumatic tire forklift. My 4000 lb Cat V40B does everything, from pulling engines from D-7 dozers to setting S-280 shelters on cargo beds. With a easily fabricated fork boom, a lift truck can do 90% of the wrecker work and a lot faster.

    Sale 4991- EUCs stuck at GL?

    Am I the only poor slob who cannot determine if GL has actually sent the EUCs for this sale to Battle Creek or not? Web shows "submittal pending", going on over a week, nobody at GL HQ can or will help including the EUC coordinator assigned to the sale. I guess it was finally my turn to...

    That is a super clean M211. Looks like it spent many years out of the weather in a firehouse. Thanks for posting.

    Buckmaw's Fort Hood - M1009 Expedition

    The backwoods of Ft Hood used to be a treasure trove. The units would dump stuff out there that they were not supposed to have. Lots of pickin' goes on out there . . .

    what is this worth??? WWII genset

    If it has a Jeep WWII chain drive flathead engine, the engine is worth lots to the MB/GPW restoring crowd. Could be over $1K for a super low hour engine.

    g-506/g508 wheels.
