    Beat me over the head enough times with the same information, and eventually it will get through. I will follow your and peakbagger's advice. I will try to get the shipper to roll it off the trailer rather than drive it. It is sound advice, and I know in my heart it is the right thing to do. The...

    After looking through several inspection reports there's no doubt that they are a little careless with the fork lift, and my exhaust pipe shows a mild example. Good advice on asking the driver to pick up stuff on the ground around the SEE. None of the pictures show the engine hatch cover on my...

    I was surprised at the generals post too, because the GP web page says under pickup terms "No Loading Dock, Ramps, or Forklift Available: Only RGN or trailers with ramps can be used to pick up this item at this location. Seller will not allow item to be loaded on a step-deck or flatbed trailer...

    Perfect timing, I was just putting together a NAPA order, and have been trying to sort out the belts based on NSN number and compatible part numbers. 2 of these are about 7mm longer, and all are solid rather than notched. All of them are currently availabe at my local NAPA so I am going with...

    Well it is in the Texarkana region, at the time of the sale it was at Hooks Texas, but the shipper said that it could be at any of the three locations in the area, New Boston, Hooks, and Texarkana.

    GP has released the my FLU419 to be shipped. I was out of town at the time I won the auction, and that meant I had only 1 day to wire the payment without paying a late payment penalty. I went to the bank Monday and told them it had to go out on Monday, and was told there was no problem. Sure...

    Welcome to SteelSoldiers. You are way ahead of me. I will be taking delivery of mine sometime next week. Yours looks really nice. Mine is running, but if it takes me less than a year to get all it's issues sorted out I will be pleased. The people on this forum have been very helpful and there...

    Thanks FLU farm, I would love for you to get a peek at it. It will be in the northern part of the San Luis Valley, so depending on where in the true Mid West you are it might not be too big of a jaunt to make a connection. It is funny I've always thought of everything East of the Mississippi as...

    Thanks Peakbagger, there is a lot to digest here. OK, so now the nervous waiting for delivery starts. Has anyone here had any experience with the IronClad Guaranty? From their website: "If the item you received is not in the condition described in our inspection report, please contact us...

    I will reply again without the link to GP, FLU farm, you are not taking the fun out of anything. I am having it delivered to my house in the city, so I will not be driving it anywhere except to the backyard. I will eventually make it street legal, but that is low priority. After I get it...

    Yep, I bought it yesterday and did not buy one in Guam, so that is not much of a leap. It was Item Number 864683

    I have replied with a link to the GP posting twice, but it has not made it onto the web page yet, it has not gotten Admin approval due to the link to a auction site. So if you want to find it, you can do a google search for "FLU419 864683"

    FLU farm, You are not taking the fun out of anything, where I live I don't think I will be driving it around until I take it out to the property I have. I just need to get it off the street so I will probably drive it less than 50 yards until I am ready to move it. Definitely changing the...

    General Hood, That sounds good to me. I should take delivery by the first of June, I will give you a shout after I find out what is going on with it. The GP inspection said that it started after they jumped the solenoid. Since the control panel seems to have issues it could just be from the...

    aHi Ahab Thanks for the welcome. This seems to be a pretty active community. I have been reading through the back posts. There is a lot to try and digest. I bought it through the GovPlanet Auction, and have not actually seen it yet. Maybe I am crazy to take the risk, but I believe that with...

    I just bought my 1987 FLU419 101 SEE yesterday. It looks like it needs a lot of work, but it runs at least. Ronald Trask Centennial Colorado USA I am not sure what the frame No. is yet.
