It will be coming home next week if I can get the shipper to call me back, good prices but their customer contact stinks! If Friday wasn't a holiday for US government workers it would be here now! While at Ft.Bragg I hit up a couple of truckers about back hauling through Arkansas, $1000 cash...

It was a fast trip, 17 hours to get there Wed., got there two hours later than I had hoped, spent two hours draining water from the fuel and air system. Spent another two hours finding and replacing oil and antifreeze, the truck had been drained. The GL guys were great easy access and helpful...

I am back. 34 hours of driving for 4.5 hours of working on the truck, but well worth it. Truck started up on the second try of the button, all main fluids were drained so I spent two hours collecting and filling. I will post photos Sat. James G.

At least it has a tail gate! James G.

Starting the drive to Ft. Bragg this morning, hopefully 15-16 hours from now I will be at the gate. Just reallized yesterday, Friday is a national holiday! Since it falls on Sat. they are pulling it forward for those who get it off. Of couse all federal employees do so Ft. Bragg will be...

I am planning on putting this one back to it's original condition if I can find out what that was, I have a 3kW generator for it already. James G. PS: Are you going to be able to make it to Bragg Thursday or Friday???

Can anyone ID this trailer it is set up for a gen set along with Pole mounts in the corner of the trailer as well as two long racks down the length of the trailer, I was thinking radios but maybe not????? James G. http://new.photos.yahoo.com/jtmmjaymeg@sbcglobal.net/album/576460762320389312

I have seen that in some publication, I think it was mainly for the benefit of the fuel truck , anyway I plan on trying it out! James G.

I think you have a couple of pieces missing, mine has gas can top with a two piece pickup tube that screws together then screws into the bottom of the cap, the cap has a right angle fitting coming out of it to attach the gas line to the genset. James G.

It has bow pockets, and I was going to fab up some long verticals for the bows, it should work for over head cover at least. James G.

I measured by cover it is for a Deuce, it's the new rubberized cover in three color camo, in great condition, anyone want to swap, I need the long one for my 543a2 I think? James G.

AM sorry to hear that, I was hoping to meet you in the flesh! I appreciate all your advice and I will take a lot of pictures! I hope all I need is a couple of good batteries to get her started. After all the headlights are still there and from what I have found if a vehicle has been used...

Just keep looking for someone hauling through your area, it took me about two weeks but I am down to $1.63 on a guy deadheading back from the East coast. James G.

Jason: Which ones should I replace immediately? I know I should inspect then replace, but this truck has been sitting for at least a year. I am going to take an airtank to blow the fuel lines out, what about the fuel tank, I know they don't want you to drain anything, I may take an extra gas...

I am heading over to Ft. Bragg this Wed. taking a load of tools, I intend buying my fluids when I get there vs. carring the weight across the county. Filters, where is the best place to buy filters for a Multifuel, where do I find the part numbers,are they off the shelf parts or should I order...

I am off tomorrow I will call around to see what I can find. Jason next time you ship give me a call, these guys have a ton of truck traveling back to Little Rock on a regular basis. James G.

Well it looks like I have found my shipper. I finally got in touch with the shipping company in Little Rock that only runs flatbed trucks, and a lot of them are returning from the East coast. Anyway $1700 looks like the final cost. But now I need a dock to unload on, Jason do you know of a...

I think I can find a dock around town that I can unload the truck as long as it is running. I don't know if my 7500lb. winch can unload a 34000lb. wrecker, even though I would only need to overcome rolling resistance to get it off the trailer as long as everything is level. The $850 and...

Jon: I wish I had known you were looking for a wrecker with no engine, an 816 just sold at an Arkansas Forestry auction for $1100 in Little Rock, it was rough but restorable. James G.

The guy at the GL has been super helpfull, he says he has the equipment to load the wrecker, but how do I get it off the trailer when it gets home? I am driving over there next Wed. to see about getting it started. A couple of forum members have volunteered to help, if time allows. I already...
