Here is a five ton I could have gotten for free along with a couple of M211s and a low boy or two if I had asked about them three months earlier! The county decided not to auction them since no one would want old (running) military trucks so they had a guy cut them up for the steel, 164 tons...
I ran up on a guy who has a GL salvage contract, he currently has three or four pretty complete M1009 and 1008s. He is located about 30 miles north of Little Rock, AR and I am sure he would ship about anything you need. I hate to post his number out here so if you are interested pm me and I...
Glad to see you were able to get it home in one piece, I lusted after it for a year or so sitting at GSA, but just couldn't justify getting it, I am kind of sorry I didn't try now! Great buy!
These were in one of the trucks I have gotten, they look like welding ground clips, very heavy duty, I may strip the electrical tape off the cables to see what kind of connection he used, the tape needs replacing anyway.
I was rummaging through the storage and came up on this slave cable, I don't remember what truck it came out of but it looks pretty usefull in the right situation. It is a pretty slick field modification.
I have a 16 in the tool shed, I will get some measurements this morning, I hope Chief is right, but it sure looks small. I also have a 3kw diesel gen set I am going to see about fitting as well.
I found this trailer on the side of a country road in the Mississippi delta, it is in pretty bad shape and it looks like the dove tail on it broke off and they just threw it up on the trailer. I noticed it has a couple of guide rollers up front , it seems like a pretty stout trailer. Worth saving?
The rails are too close together to get a gen set in there, my full size trailer is 130 miles away but I am sure a gen set can't fit between those two rails!
I have started cleaning up one of the shorter Pioneer Tool Trailers I 'won' at Camp Shelby last month. Other than one of the clam shell doors missing a hold up the little trailer is in pretty good shape even with it being a third full of water for a year, the landing leg pin has a long stroke...
Pick up one yesterday at the local Junktique shop, five dollars and faded to a light tan, but it's one of the old style, the clips on each end must weigh a half pound each!
Looks like one of these new ones I saw at FT. Sill, I would rather have one of the self propelled kind, you wouldn't be looking for a lift all the time.
The last Deuce I got from the ARNG had antifreeze in the front tires, and I have used antifreeze in tractor tires for years, even when I worked for the USDA in college we used straight antifreeze in everything for weight and balance.
I bought eight of the 24 volt units from Ted's, all were in good shape and have been running great, it's been over a year since I got mine so, I don't know if he still has them, but they were good folks to work with.
