Just finished a test drive with xengineguy and his M1078. Told him I would post my review in a day or two but I can't wait. First part of the drive was through the field and up a 35 to 40 degree embankment. We went into mode, down into 1st gear and basically idled up without much more than a tap...
If you end up scrapping these I would be interested in the "hardware components". The "H" bracket pieces and more importantly the rubber cord and hooks. Also whatever else might be considered hardware. My seats are complete but some extra "hardware" may come in handy someday. Let me know if you...
I went through basically the same scenario with my truck. EUC came back in a fraction of the time I was planning. My truck was at a private lot, not even a Richie Bros. yard. The people at that lot were more than accommodating to hold it for a while as long as I communicated with them. Check...
Getting ready to register my new to me M1078 in Illinois. Anyone know if Mr McGath is still at the IL Sec. of State? Any other helpful tips on dealing with IL would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I will post pictures and get as many NSN's as I can. Probably won't be until this Saturday. I think I should start a new post, looking guidance from the admins on this.
It is a winch truck. It was cold and still on the trailer when I opened the toolbox, and I didn't take the time to take everything out and inspect it. I am very anxious to check it all out.
My M1078 arrived last Friday while was out of town, and I finally got to see it yesterday. It was frozen in the ice when the driver arrived to get it, but it was at a towing company lot, and they used a wheel loader to break it free. Winched it on the Landoll and got it home. Checked it out on...
Bought this unit for the genset included with it and it came with nothing in the manual holder inside the unit. Thought I would just scrap everything but the genset, but if I can get any paperwork that would help me to understand the operation of the unit I might reconsider. Let me know if you...
I'm new also and looking for them same. From what I can tell the 3126 would need the same brackets. Anyone know if any of the A/C kits I have seen in the recent past on GP coming out of Yermo would contain any useful parts for LMTV? Also, I see a similar looking unit in a RedDot catalog to the...
Keith,
Waiting on EUC and starting to get ideas. Found this post and new idea is "Hey I can transport my M1078 myself if Keith can do it". I am in Chicago and picking up around Dayton, Ohio. I have a 9 ton Eager Beaver trailer and a F450. Going back to your first post on this thread can you give...
Anyone run a lower profile tire on a LMTV? My desire is to lower the overall height of the vehicle to make it more feasible to pull a 5th wheel toy hauler, even a couple of inches will help. I know it will slow down an already slow vehicle but with high speed gears I think I will get what I...
Going to pick this up next week and drag it from New Jersey to Chicago. Wish me luck. I would like to take a couple of spare tires along to put on once I assess the tire condition. Our fleet has several trucks with 8 bolt patterns, and I was going to take some of the spares we have around the...
First post, looking for direction. Starting to plan for retirement and the plan is travel the states with a toy hauler. Last night I conjured up this idea of getting LMTV, putting a fifth wheel plate in/on the bed and using it as a tow vehicle. Looking at a GVWR on the toy hauler of 20,000 lbs...
