    M105a2 pickup story (long)

    :) It is good when things work out. :shock: A big pipe wrench works on the lunette also. I used an axe as a sledge hammer to knock it loose after backing off the castle nut. BTW if you do not have the socket to fit the lug nuts a pipewrench and cheater bar works there also--FYI the left lug...

    Loading your trailer on your hauling trailer

    Unloading can be "fun" also. A 8000lb come-along from harbor freight is less than $30. I loaded my M105 backward onto the tow trailer. Made unloading easier... I think:roll:

    Spare tire for M105A2 recorvery

    Another option is to rent an equipment trailer to haul the 105 back to Tucson. It cost me $73 with tax, damage waiver, and insurance to rent a heavy duty trailer for 24 hours. Call the GL site and ask if they will forklift the 105 onto your tailer. Inspite of the "No assistance provided"...

Maybe that is why no EUC and only one other bidder. The data plate says M105A2 and aside from a tool box mounted to the rear of the...
