What a bunch of CRAP! GL better not pull that on me when I go to pick up my M871 trailer at RRAD very soon. Anyway at least you more or less ended up with a nice trailer.

Well, if you neglect to do wheel bearing service after this deep fording, don't be surprised if a wheel comes off going down the freeway in about a year from now. Ask me how I know. I only do water rescues in life or death situations due to the days of maintenance required that noone is...

Where are the rebuilds taking place, depot like RRAD or back to BMY or AMGeneral?

Where is the "none of the above" option? Call me a party pooper but I just can't get excited about either of these trailers. Difficult to hitch up (early 105's), a pain to back up, can't get turned around on a trail, etc . . .

Take the top off, that will make entering a lot easier. They say you don't get into a Goat, you put it on . . .

Wallace Wade Tires in Dallas has 9:00-16 NDT tires all day long for $168 brand new, made by Specialty Tires of America (STA).

Gotta love the blackout drive lamp perched up there like a bird . . . That truck already has the bed baptised, we won't even notice that dent after DRMO and GL get a hold of it . . .

Thanks for posting that Clinto, I needed the hoist pics/info as well. How did you end up with that one? CMS auction?

Sam Werner in Tracy City TN might sell you one of his rusty ones.

I've got one for sale at $1500. Figured that was fair. 66,000 miles.

Is that the one that was at Sam Winer Motors? I don't remember the a-frame on the front bumper on that one. If so, you have no. 2 to come out of the woods . . . Congrats, a super rare truck.

Those are very hard to make look good. The various panels are available from MD Juan dealers. You can replace the front and rear panel easier than beating it straight, heating and shrinking out the dents, and bondoing your existing ones.

Agreed, a container "top handler"

I would greatly appreciate it.

Jeff, do you know who the displays belong to then? I wonder if they could be adopted by a military musuem somewhere that is on good terms with the CMH (Center for Military History).

Ya like that huh? That is the M34 set up. Old school singles before the days of Hemmtt rims and Michelin XZLs . . .

Thanks for posting! Sorry, but that has to be the worst maintained display I have ever seen. I know the Army has other priorities, but the displays at other bases are night and day from that.

Very impressive vehicles and turnout!! Where was the location, I do not recognize it? Thanks for posting!

You will need to find a Cat D7 of the appropriate Viet Nam era, and go from there. Military tractors are out there, but are not always easy to find. I would recommend a D7E 48A or 47A series. They were hauled on M172 trailers by M123 ten tons. To up-armor, 1/4 plate could be welded to the...

Really excellent work. What have you done with the steering column?
