    M871 trailer with S280 shelter, anyone have pics?

    Easiest thing would be to get an Dolly (4whl) of capacity to handle your ISO or 280 shelter. The 20ft single fold ISO shelter sitting in my yard has dolly fittings. None of the 280 (5ea) do. The dolly fittings for 280 shelters are an accessory kit. I have yet to learn of anyone that has come...

    Opinions on MEP-831A

    Stop in and ask them if they need help with getting it in service. Vol FD operate on VOLUNTEER time and you have at least as much of that as they do. They may have not realized a 004 is 3ph. They may not have 3ph in the station. You help then out and might find you're at the front of the...

    5 ton 6x6

    Any hundreds of M931A1 and A2 coming thru the system. CTIS of the A2 would be ideal for farmer dragging trailer into the field (which is typical). If can keep the CTIS working.

    Trouble in Iowa with titles

    We finally received title. A PITA. Titled as a 1997 RedRiver M925. If you need plates you have to advise the state goons when you send the title for transfer to you FD. Apparently such is not obvious.

    HET M1070 Stuck

    And back in the days of old an M123 couldn't legally haul an M48 on the hiway. And today you can't legally drive a 100ft platform (aerial fire truck) on an interstate. So what?

    M925 alternator

    Is alternator on M925 a dual voltage 12/24v? City has a 2007 Redstone rebuild. Dose rebuild use same alternator as originally manufactured or upgrade/modify? We need 12V to power an electric over hyd snowplow pump and to operate the motors on a sander.

    M944A1 Mobile Shop Civilian Conversion

    Replace the screws with square or torx drive. Or if think can get away with it install screws with one way head (anti tamper as you see on restroom stalls).

    Bad day at work

    It's not about lazy. Its about filling the force with girl soldiers and now letting flocks of pixies in. Give them something more that a minor job and they might break a nail or drop something on their foot. The few men left have to pickup the slack.
