Rusty crusty wrecker recovery

[doghead]

Be sure your up to date on your tetanus shots.

Glad you got it!

Thats what PB is for!

I'm working on getting a flying landoll and pilots licenses for Troy and Tony so they can rescue Ron while he is still in flight

I thought that wrecker looked familiar......the last time I saw it it was on a hook headed for the scrap yard...how it got from AL to up there I don't know.

If you really want an M36 there are some near me that were hand picked from another location and will be for sale soon.

Since I pimped off the M915 I may have to get one for myself.

Hey adam you still planning on buying the 816 in columbia?

 

[Ferroequinologist]

JW, I might, then I can have two equally crappy wreckers! lol Seriously, I've been thinking about it, but for what Peck wants for it, I could throw at one of the M936's coming out of MS and possibly get one.

I might have a deal worked out for either a complete set of body panels, or a whole m62 to put the wrecker bed on. Details to follow when I get back in touch with the owner.

ok well john is kinda planning on you buying it so if your not going to go thru with the deal then you need to call him and let him know.

I guess you have already resigned yourself into being called up for duty eh John?

He is going to have to repay Adam someday for dragging him all the way up here to my place in NJ.

First viewed the pics from my phone and it did not do the wrecker any justice. I am glad I waited to get home and use the computer.opcorn:

 

[Ferroequinologist]

JW, will do. I suppose I will have to make up my mind this weekend then.

What does the M62 you are talking about look condition wise and where would it be located might have to get another.

Yes. I am sorta responsable for Ferro buying the crusty wrecker, as I called him and told him about it(It's fun to spend other peoples money). ALso, he up and went 800 miles one way to help me with my M814, so .... wait, didn't I just trot off 1200 miles to recover his new flatbed trl? Maybe we are even?

Plus I like watching Adam get torqued working on stuff- it's scary when he starts to throw wrenches.....

 

[EMD567]

Plus I nothing else better to do that weekend.

A lot of those wreckers have serious issues and have been sitting a long time.....unless you go down and preview I would be very careful about jumping on one of them.

Scrap value is around 3600 but I have intell that some of them sold for a lot less on the last closed bid sale.

 

[woodywood]

im still interested in the m62 plate either way you go

A trick I have learned when dealing with the recoveries for stuff that has been sitting a long time is to take a boat gas tank with a 12v electric pump hooked to it.

That way you can bypass all the stock fuel system up to the injection pump or carburetor. No worries about dirty fuel or such.

That would've been a great trick to have in the bag. The fuel lines are in bad shape, (where's all that diesel coming from?). Would've saved us some time and aggravation for sure. When they go back to load the truck up Ferro is taking a Jerry can with a generator feed attachment, that should work also.

Well,the lowboy is checked out and the air compressor is loaded,awating Adam's arrival with the 915.

Take a note from PA's book, "So I eventually had diesel dripping from the passenger windsheild wiper." That fuel tank trick would be great!
