    Just tripped over this in south Alabama while buying some M-Series part's for my 10 ton's and 5 ton.... Autocar M15A1 converted to an M16A1 in 1952 but over the year's the previous owner wanted the look of an M3, it's crazy that when your not looking you end up finding something you have to...

    I've known about these 2 10 ton's for over 10 yrs which was the last time I spoke to the owner about them so I was happy to learn after contacting him recently that he still had them on his property.

    What have you done to your 10 ton this week?

    Thought I might start a thread like this to see if there are any other 10 ton owner's out there other than the few that I know of who might need some motivation to get to doing some wrenching on there truck's. Pictured are the first M125 and M123 that I owned.

    M125-A1 Cargo Truck Cummins V8 300 Powered

    Hello... look's like I'm back in the 10 Ton hobby. Back in January while surfing around on ebay I came across an M125 10 ton and as I was looking at the picture's I realized it had the Cummins V8 300 in it and I immediately recalled an article that was written by David Doyle back in 2006 in Army...

    Diamond T M20 Prime Mover

    Had the opportunity to buy this Diamond T from the Kevin Kronlund Collection. I spent a week at Kevin's place about 3yrs ago, a time I will never forget. He treated me as if he had known me for year's. We went out to what he called the shed which was a 90x190 building on his property which...

    Dirt 71's Alfa Heaven M1008

    I've wanted one of Tom's trucks for a while. So I finally took the plunge and got one. It's a real nice one, only 25k miles on it. It seems to run and drive as good as it looks. Tom is a hoot to deal with.

    M15A1 Restoration

    Thought I would start a thread on my trailer. I'm really not ready to do a complete restoration just yet, but I wanted to get all the moving part's moving again. The last time I had it hooked to a truck I applied the brake's and it took about 20 minute's for them to release. So I'm going through...

    Just doing a little top end maintenance on Ol'Rusty. It had been running like a top, and I couldn't leave well enough alone and decided to put some Lucas Fuel Treatment in the tank and it started running like crap.

    10 ton gets home sick!

    I bought back one of my tractor's I sold to a logger in Panama City a couple of months ago. They broke something in the engine and then let it get away from them towing it out of the woods and it rolled down a hill into a bolldozer. That's why the front end is bent up. So I got a donor truck...

    It showed up Friday morning. It's going to be hard but I need to stay busy on the 125 before I rip into this truck. As rare as this truck is it really deserves a complete frame up restroation like I'm doing on the cargo. Also thank you Kevin a.k.a. Mack123 for your help in the purchasing of your...
