Big truck, big stuck. There seems to be an epidemic of stuck trucks lately.
I was moving a big culvert (made out of a 1500 gallon propane tank) and almost got the M936 stuck. I quit while I was ahead.
Do you hear the in tank fuel pump running when you flip the battery switch? Most of the time deuces will start if the pump isn't working but not always.
I guess I missed the part about the wrecker aspect. Sell him that M105 trailer....should be able to get four tires in it.
And it's a no go on the goats.....the Boss Lady said no trading critters for green iron......dammit.
What is your route back?
I'm a few miles off of I-59 between Birmingham and Chattanooga if you go that route. PM for contact info if needed.
Jeff has some 5 ton tires for me if you want to deliver them.
I'm about 5 hours by car....prob a little more by 5 ton....from Jeff's. If you leave...

I love Splatterpiller engines. I once drove a cab over Freightliner with the 3406B in it and it was a pulling motor scooter. The only issue I have with Cats is they will keep you in the poorhouse for parts and repair, especially if you take them to the Cathouse (dealer) to get them repaired. If...
I ran 50/50 WVO/diesel in my M275 and in a diesel Ford Ranger I had. The WVO has to be filtered and de-watered for best results. As stated there are plenty of references on many sites to tell you how to do this.
When I was making my own "Deuce elixer" I used 30 gallons of waste motor oil, 30...
