I stumbled upon a local MV graveyard today. Some of the stuff is for sale, but not all. Deuces, M715, M37, and maybe a couple of jeeps. What is for sale is headed to the scrapman immediately.
Guys, sorry for the short notice, but I just found this today. I just made it before it got dark and snapped a few pictures. Then I wandered around with a flashlight for a while.
It looks like most of it has been neglected for some time. What a shame. From what I could tell in the short time, most of the stuff is picked over somewhat and what is left is rusty. However, I thought there might be something of interest to someone.. He did say that all of the 2.5 ton front axles were already sold. Oh yea, . . . sorry, I didn’t see any towbars
.
The guy I managed to get in contact with is the scrap dealer who is hauling the stuff away. He is friendly, but he knows absolutely nothing about MVs, he just sees big chunks of “iron”. I asked him if there were any bridge plates, air paks, or pioneer tool racks, and I just got a blank stare. He is willing to cut stuff off with the torch, or let you pull it yourself. I don’t believe he is interested in shipping anything. You pretty much have to be there.
He insists that he doesn’t have much time, the stuff that he is contracted to haul will be gone in a few days. PM me, and I can get you some contact info.
Prices? As I said, it just looks like iron to him, so I think he will take an offer. He did say that deuce tires on wheels are $50 (imho – not such a great deal). Although, he also said fuel tanks were $20 ( with guage sending unit, and pump included, and maybe even a half-a-tank of rotten fuel)
I am going to try to get there early on Saturday morning to see if there is anything left.
Like I said previously, the concensus may be that it all junk, but I figured I’d post this just in case.
This is in Northern Kentucky – Near Cincinnati, OH.
Todd Haley ! are you out there? – you and I are probably the closest of any Steel Soldiers members I know. Would you like to go with me on Saturday to check it out?
