    diesel chainsaws?

    RE: chainsaw My dad had a saw much like that when I was a kid (late 60s). Had about a 30" bar. I'll bet it is still in the factory shipping box. I don't remember what brand was. He only used it a couple times a year and usually had to spend 2 days getting it to start each time. Long...

    Question RE: GL/DRMO "condition codes"

    Or cousin Floyd is a surplus dealer and anything that does not get reutilized thru DRMS goes to auction and the worse it sounds/looks the better deal Floyd will get. Most of the DRMOs will assist DRMO customers with additional info, photos, info from tech inspection records, turning unit...

    Leaning toward buying M885, a few questions from a rookie...

    There were 2x M880s listed at DRMS Ft McCoy in the last couple of weeks rated F7 (McCoy is pretty good on condition codes). I think expired without anyone taking them (reutiized). If so the will be showing up at govliq one of these days.

    diesel chainsaws?

    SEE has a hyraulic chain saw. Good question though. DOD is replacing EVERYTHING that uses MOGAS with equipment that can burn JP8.

    Question RE: GL/DRMO "condition codes"

    Condition codes are very nearly totally useless/meaningless. "Obsolete" equipment being turned in for replacement will frequently be coded H7. The AF in particular codes equipment they are tired of (have $ to replace with near new stuff) will code H7 or frequently HX. For example an AF 14yr...

    trailers that can be used with the M983 HEMTT tractor

    trailers that can be used with the M983 HEMTT tractor

    DOD uses std 2" kingpin on "normal" size trailers. Tactical tractors have a floating 5th wheel (pivots on axis parallel to the frame) to allow crosscountry operation. Large tractor/trailers have 3.5" kingpin. Such at the M911 and M1070 Oshkosh HET and the M920 Freightliner. I don't know...

    Weight of stock tires...

    It would have to be less expensive to freight 2 pallets than to drive a 1000mi. Even if you time has no value what the cost per mi? A trucker only has to cover it one way. Your have to justify deadheading there.

    most important military aircraft ?

    Only one? then would have to be the Wright Flyer two seater of 1907. Showed what was possible and the grandaddy of all that followed. For greatest impact C-47. All the other P- this and B- of WWII (and since) were/are marginally relevant fluff.

    When were M52 A2's built?

    By the mid 80s the production 5t was the M923A1 (super singles). The M923 (rear duals) was before that which was preceeded by the M809. DOD is still surplusing M52 series 5t though.
