    Who won what on 12 NOV?

    The 817s are located at the National Guard yard a few miles from Hooks, If you run one over to the Hooks location they may piggyback them for you? If either one of you decide it is too much of a hassle let me know, I missed out on the sale due to sniping so I need one, and I have an 818 ready...

    Hooks M871s

    If anyone got one too many of the 871s at Hooks, I would be interested in buying it, since the four I was bidding on to get maybe one were sniped in the last few minutes. pushing them past the auction end, and driving the price out of my reach!!!!!. James G.

    Last Trailer.....

    This is one of the four they sold in Little Rock a month or so ago. He has received the last of the Deuces that were in Arkansas, he does have some 5 tons coming up, they have been on the lot for at least three years. Now that the fire departments are only taking trucks with auto...

    818 Why so hard to start!!!!!

    It may be a fuel problem, because it can have a rise and fall to the idle as well. New lines are in the future, I like the truck but it is a monster to start. James

    818 Why so hard to start!!!!!

    I have only had experience with three M818s and all are hard to start! I see why they have the four batteries, but why are they soooo hard to start? Yesterday it took thirty min. of trying and a Deuce for battery backup to start mine. Or is it just the ones I have come in contact with? James

    M105 Big Wheel Vs Small Wheel landing gear

    I have always heard of the twin wheel landing gears being the "new type"? I don't think mine do have the crank on them, which may be the issue. I keep a farm jack in the truck since the trailer hitch always seems to low for the Deuce anyway, must be where I park them, not a lot of level...

    M105 Big Wheel Vs Small Wheel landing gear

    Any one know why the landing gear on the M105 was changed from the single big wheel to the two small wheels. I just picked up a couple of old style 105s with the big wheel gear, the old style weighs a quarter of what the new style gear weighs! I could pull the big wheel gear up with one hand...

    26 FT. of M105s on 16FT of Trailer!

    You can get two thirteen foot long M105s on a 16 foot long trailer with a little leverage! Picked up two today at Hooks, the GL folks were super helpful loading and reloading until we had it right! Last two Thursday. James G.
