OK guys, I have found the problem with our M813 and now runs like a champ. For the last couple of years it has sat around and was really hard to crank. It was a fuel leak on a little 1/4" plastic line all this time. Fixed that and it can sit for days and fire right up with a few seconds of...
Kenny, have you taken care of this truck? I am busy Monday but if a brothers in need, I will try to help. Is the truck at the Foresty service or the GSA yard in West Columbia near the air port? I can move it on my truck if I can work out the time. I'm about 25 miles from either location. If...
RE: Saturday afternoon Trail Ride
Well I'll add a few photo's. I think the only minor there was my daughter so she ended up in most of my pictures. She really liked the radio's in the M37. I would also like to thank all you guys that put up with her dancing, singing and playing duck, duck...
I suppose I will be the last to post a departure. I am leaving a wet Blythewood. I am happy to see the rain. It means I am not missing any work. I hope the old ford can pull the load. See you guys this afternoon.
Oh where did the time go. I am unprepared as usual. I did notice the forcast is for some wet stuff on Friday and Saturday. Therefore I have pretty much decided to set up a GP small to put my "store" under and to have somewhere to entertain the little one. Which brings up the next question...
Ok, someone has asked so I will post a few links to the colemans surplus pages with the items I have for sale:
Kitchen tent:

Attention:
I am packing up the trailer and I am not bringing anything that people don't want to buy. So if you want any of the stuff I listed earlier you better let me know.
Stuff I want to get rid of that no one has expressed interest in are:
Tents. GP small with no pole, new, vinyl. One...
Gentleman,

GP small vinyl tents new, no poles: $125
Army kitchen tent with all poles and stakes, new, canvas:$135...
RE: Re: RE: Convoy from the West
Gentlemen, I hope to meet up with you guys as you leave Ridgeway. I will be in my civilian pickup with my CBC in tow. I will have a 4 year old girl with me so you all will have to behave. I hope I will be good with my work so taking Friday off will not be a...
Well it's official, I will attending with my 4 year old girl. The main purpose is a little daddy daughter camp out, so will be staying at the "base camp". I will be driving my F-150 with my CBC in tow. I will also be bringing as much stuff to sell and give away as possible. I will post some...
RE: Re: RE: Trailering a deuce
Well my last comment on the matter is for you guys that don't haul much.
If you have been following this thread know this, if you want to have a safe and successful trip, keep the load with in proper limits. Sure you can put 10 pounds of crap in a 5 pound bag...
I have no idea what it weighs but it is made by "Load-Max" and the sticker says it will gross 11,000 each axle. It is marketed as a 9 ton. I will be posting some stuff about an Internation truck I have when I get back in a few days and one picture of this truck shows the ramp down. I'll try...
Well here's a few things to think about.
First off I don't know what kind of tires dude has on his rig. He might have some high dollar 40 ply space shuttle tires. But the one's on my 9 ton trailer I drive every day are rated at 2800 each. The tires on my 2008 F-350 are rated at 2900 pounds...
Unless the Dodge is rated at twice what our Fords are, this load would exceed the max gross manufacturer limit for the truck. Two things to think about, what the factory says and what it's registered for. I got a ticket with my F-350 the other day when I was stopped by a weigh station. My...
Here we go;
Half track:
I am keeping the frame for now. I am removing the cab, or what's left of it and puting that and the front axle on eBay, one day :roll:
Dollys:
I have one big one but the cylinders are missing. I have a complete small one but no wheels. Some one talked me out of...
Oh crap, I haven't been spending too much time on here lately and didn't notice the request. I will read over everything tonight and post more info. I hope to attend the Georgia rally and if I do it will only be because I will have a truck load of stuff for sale. With gas jumping $0.90 in the...
Well, here's some good news I hope. If you are passing through SC on the way to the rally I will keep an eye on fuel prices and post the best one's here that week. I saw diesel for $3.95 cash today in Columbia. Never thought I would be pleased to see that. We'll see what they are in two...
"And so it begins"
It would appear it's what you want. It's a trailer just like you have in the picture. It's actually my favorite trailer because of those little wheels. I just like the way they look. Let me know where you want it cut off from.
The best thing to do for this stuff is email...
Front springs and hangers, yes. I will be cutting them off when we get rain (this time of the year that grass dries quick and burns quicker)
The PTO's will probably go on ebay. They are one of the few things I have that there is some demand for. Stuff like transfer cases will be available and...
