I just want to be able to ID the right PTO for the truck, I have seen three so far and they are all different. The 818 is the only none multifuel I have so I have nothing for comparison on converting it to a winch truck.

I am going down on the 29th to pick up my flatbed and a compressor, another 350lbs should be manageable if needed. I can haul it back to Russellville and store it until you can have it picked up.

From what I am told things tend to grow in the old fuel as well and may continue to mess up your filters, I usually dump my old fuel into the used oil tank for cleaning later and use fresh fuel, I know it is expensive but I have had fewer problems over time doing it this way.

I have found filling the tank with water and adding muric acid (Lowe's) works great, just remove any brass or aluminum fixtures first, all the rust and acid is great for tomatoes.

This was not my first EUC, and I think you are right on the work load, I won a M105 down at Little Rock, completed the EUC that night sent it in the next morning and within 24 hours was on it's way to Battle Creek, just luck of the draw.

It's sale 4600 in Hooks end of last month, five days from it being sent to Battle Creek it was approved, but it took GL eleven days to send it on, no revisions just slow! I have been reading how some are having a long wait on their EUC's I was getting resigned to a long wait as well! Now I...
I hope you guys are right, that would be a real catch for me, I have a couple of the small wheel barrow type compressors but this one would give me some serious portable volume!

I won a compressor at Hooks this week, it is one of the standard military shop type compressors, 15cfm at 175 psi but this one had the standard military engine replaced with what i hope is one of the small two cylinder diesel motors, the red fuel tank and bright steel motor body talked me...
This compressor weighs around 600 lbs. if I load it on the rear, thats not going to be make it fishtail worse on me is it? Also this trailer has the boxes and "rack" still on it anyone know how far back the rack extends on the bed?
James
Not yet, it took over a week for GL to send my EUC on to Battle Creek, no changes just slow sending on their end! I hope to get an appointment this Thursday morning. I also won a compressor I planing on strapping to the trailer, so it will earn it's keep from day one.
James G.
I wondered if anyone here one that one the bidding got too rich for me, that is the one with the doors only going to the top of the tail gate down at Hooks?
James G.
Sale 4600 may be the problem, I am in the same boat, I sent in my EUC on a Flatbed trailer and it is still showing I am pending? I emailed today no answer yet.

Towing
The Armada has surprised me on how well it tows, the flatbed is in Hooks TX so about a three hours drive for me. I have a raised pintal hitch for the truck and it has a towing package that works pretty well. I towed my lub. trailer a couple of months ago from hooks with no problem...
I finally got me one of the military flat bed trailer down at hooks this week, and for under $400! I've been watching for a while and I just couldn't pay $11-1200 for one! Anyway I am planning on hauling it the 250 miles home with my Armada, the lunnette looks pretty high on the trailer, i...
