How about wheels & tires off the M116's Glen, did you keep some?

Pulling the good ones now, not many good tires in that batch. They had been on the tarmac for too many years.

 

[OverSizeHeavyHauler]

Hey Glen, yall have any Deuces there or is it all 5T's and up?

 

[davesgmc]

mwmules,,,when you going? seems i am open daytime now, would ride along if you needed company

 

[91W350]

I had a bunch of 116 trailers sorted out to pull tires and wheels....too slow. They were fed to the crusher today. I think an ocean of nice 105 trailers will die tomorrow, along with about 40 five and 7.5 ton flatbeds. All of the semi vans were crushed today... so were the remaining exspansible boxes. He backed into a really nice M923 and then proceded to push it aside. Not so nice now, I fired it up and parked it outside of the yard. Hopefully somebody can score a new engine, transmission and transfer case. There is an unopened set of bows in the bed. Discouraging to say the least.

 

[KsM715]

Throw those bows in my goodie pile. (I'll be on the lookout for a set of troop seats and cover to go with them also.

 

[91W350]

A ratty old 105 with a rough bed cover went to the crusher yesterday while I was tied up in the office, running the desk.....along with about 20 really nice 105 bed covers and a 900 series hardtop I had stored inside. This is pretty frustrating for me. I sure waste a lot of what little free time I have in my life in vain.....

It's a shame I'm not closer, I'd be there with a socket set and a torch cutting off all the good parts for sale later. I'd be happy to pay scrap prices for parts that are sought after! But KS is a long way from VA.

 

[Karl kostman]

Glen I DO have an idea of your frustration, when I was working on the last bacth of parts I got from you and saw the way they were removed from the donor truck it was baffling to say the least! I sure hope the truck they came off was junk because it sure was when they got done removing the parts for me! Hang in there my friend remember your working at a scrap yard, its all in the material NOT in the product! Do you think your going to be able to make it up to the MV show in Fargo next month? Let me know Glen and talk soon!

How about 105/deuce wheels with tires, did you manage to set some aside?

 

[MWMULES]

Glen A big thanks to you for helping with my 6 Trailer recovery today . I had won some out there and KsM715 wanted 2 and trailer could only carry 4 so went to the Gl site got 2 loaded up, hauled them over to Glens. He had to drop what he was doing and came back with a monster loader, unloaded the 2 and then we took of to get the other 4. Came back by for a short visit, wanted to check the MV yard but last nights rain had turned it into a quagmire so no joy at pick and pull!
Anybody know what the reel trailer was used for, bed and boxes are all aluminum.
All the trailers turned out to be former Marines, Oorah!

monster rolls of field phone wire? We need wire, not a trialer to put it on...but might be intresing though.

 

[91W350]

That was a cool trailer, I wanted to make a trade..... I noticed he did not stick around for me to unload that one!

 

[jasonjc]

Glen were you able to save any of the crank out windows for the 820 or 129's befor they were crushed?

 

[Tascabe]

Could actually use one of those empty reels

Have to get all the Russian field wire off the Russian reels I have so I can refill them with US wire

 

[212sparky]

I have a power rereeler we use to wind up power cable. If you were close I would take it off your hands for you

I parked Jeff's trailers north of the white house at the end of the military yard. Looks like I will be moving in next to all my treasures the house is vacant and I am trying to buy it.... I have some windows in one of my 105 trailers. I also bought two M820s yesterday. The yard looks pretty barren right now, good thing I have a few trucks and trailers coming in!

 

[davesgmc]
