Ft. McCoy recovery 101A1 1963 Jeta mfg

[hendersond]

Going to recover a 1963 101A1 with cover made by Jeta mfg for my brother. He says it has new radial tires. Load out appointment is at 0900. Paperwork is signed, insurance, registration and ID are in the recovery vehicle. Have new HF magnetic taillights, Pintle hitch in receiver, an air tank and some tools just in case. Fortunately Ft McCoy is an hour from my home.
Will post pics when I see it.

Recovery went well. Pulled like a dream. Brand new tires and close to perfect top. All went well overall. Only has one minor bump on the corner.

Note the light surface rustwhere the paint chipped, I didn't do it Jim

I would suggest anyone who uses the cheep lights from Harbor Freight test them first. The 4 wire connector required a minor rework in the parking lot.

Now that it is home, I'm going to pack it full of leftovers for the trip to Wyoming!

Looks good. Thanks for picking it up. Guess it was worth $265. Now I can haul my towbar back home in it.

Swap out that axle for a 6 bolt hub and I will give you a good deal a set of GM rims to match the BURB.

If I did that it would look pretty bad being towed behind my M37 wouldn't it?

 

[hendersond]

The towbar is loaded. I gave ya 9 deuce rims off my M211, a M37 pto, and some misc stuff. I'm looking for more.

Oh yea, there is my ammo can grill in there for you too. I used it sunday!

 

[hendersond]

You will need 12v taillights for the pull home.

I'll bring lights. Is a steak included with the grill.

Nice A1 Jim!

"Is a steak included with the grill."

If you enlarge the picture you'll notice the right half is covered in dirt and grass clippings. It slid off my screwdriver when I was turning it. Remember the "Black Magic" coal slag I was sandblasting with? You are looking at it.
You are welcome to the right half, It is by the corner of the garage.
