I would like to thank jward1 for PMing me his contact info!!! I've noticed that this forum seems to be a tight knit group of people wanting to help each other in support of the hobby of Green Stuff which is great for me being new to the hobby. I've loved and driven the Green Stuff for a while...
Any members located around the Dale, Alabama / Ft. Rucker area. I'm recovering a m35A2 on Wednesday and may need a possible breakdown point / recovery drop off. Of course, I'm hoping for a smooth recovery as the truck is in decent shape but you never know what might happen 10 feet out the...
EUC from 4737 Lot 6362 approved and paid in full invoice received today!!!!!! GEICO Insurance purchased and ready for Wednesday the 23rd to pick up from Ft. Rucker. This truck fell in the group on hold.
Good find and I'm happy to know there's another Tanker on here. Were you a 19 Kilo or a Marine??? I took M1's to Iraq twice, once driving and loading during the invasion and a second tour as a gunner and later TC. Tanker's lead the Way!!!
Well, our old Deuces must go pretty soon. This drill weekend, we PMCS'd all 14 or our M35's and 109's and ran them on a 20 mile loop through the country. All worked pretty good except for A4 (bumper number) which never left the yard as it had no brakes. Some were a little hesitant to start...
Just wanting a rough quote of transporting a M35A2 from Fort Rucker, Al to Albany, GA. The truck is a runner with a jump but I have concerns recovering a truck that I've only done a -10 PMCS on before buying. I figure that for the cost of having it transported would be made up by letting it...
I almost put a bid in on the Warner Robins deuce but it went over $1000 pretty quick. I was thinking if I had 2 EUC's waiting, I'd get my 4737 6362 a little quicker. EUC sent to BC on 22 October and still playing the waiting / my truck is on hold game. I was surprised by the prices...
Also, I forgot to mention, Not saying Murphy was the one provided with all he should have needed tightening those bolts. He lives amongst this community.
As a manager over rebuilds at MCLB Albany, I can honestly say, torque wrench's are calibrated to a schedule, bolts are of the highest quality and trend analysis of failure's are tracked extensively. If there is a problem, we notice it quickly and I know of a few rebuilt trucks that slipped out...
M725,
Nicely put. I thought I'd start a frenzy on here but had every intention of coming clean with it in a day. MCLB Albany does have 3 of them left but they are in outside storage and the plan is to take the best parts of the 3 and restore one to donate to a museum. They are all poly...
Just to satisfy the Jeeps in a crate comments. There are 3 Jeeps in crates at MCLB Albany in the corner of a warehouse. Fine examples of Govt. efficiency, they were receipted for in the 50's, "sent to units" in the 60's, DRMO'd and crushed according to all of their paperwork yet still sit in...
To have my fellow Marine Base employees ask me "What are you going to do with it?" and to see the look on their face when I say "Drive it to work." Then be challenged with "Will they let you register it on base and get a decal?" I've already had plenty of offers for a truck that sits in Ft...
First off, he's doing a favor, albeit, surely temporarily. Scrap prices are down and alot of people on this forum are used to getting running deuces for less than you could scrap the truck out on GL. The economy is down and scrap is getting less and less. It won't always be like that and when...
While we're on the topic of batteries, I've gotten a set of Hawker Armasafe batteries for my truck. Has anyone had experience with them? They are said to be very good and last roughly 8 years in extreme conditions however since my truck sits in Ft. Rucker, I could not say. The batteries have...
Preview in person. I had a friend buy a 6.2L from Warner Robins. Pics online looked fantastic, and had plastic caps on every opening. Turns out, it was from and Air Force HMMWV and had many miles and a piston with a hole burned through it. He paid $600 and probably still will come out ahead...
gimpyrobb,
The man who owns the deuce is actually a mechanic who was doing some work for his friend who bought the truck from a dealer in Atlanta. The man who bought from the dealer paid $4500 and brought it down south. It's axle seals were leaking so my buddy worked on it and had it parked...
I went to a birthday party for a 1 year old for one of my wife's friends. What does her husband have but low and behold a M35A2 Winch truck in the backyard. He say's he got it off of a friend with leaking axle seals for $1400 bucks?????? It had Toole rebuild tags from 84' and ran perfectly...
Just seeing if anyone on here won anything today? Seems like alot of stuff went pretty high today including the A3 Winch truck that nearly broke $10,000. Anyone know what the wrecker in Warner Robins went for? Last I saw, it was $3,600 which I felt like was the only iron off the mark. Even...
