Can you use that as a tax write-off?
When I ran an alternative energy business I never made a dime....but I bought a ton of vehicles and tools for it....even built a 24x72 shop and depreciated it over a 5 year period.
The last yaller engines that sold out of Redstone (they looked new and were listed as being for the MRAPS) went for about 13k each.
There are several on line diesel engine sales sites......type in "Caterpiller 3116 for sale" and see what pops up.
Welcome to the Green Iron Laughing Accademy.:cookoo:
You have fallen in with a bad lot that will lead you further down the path of the dreaded Green Iron Affliction.
I too am a soldier of the 70's.....I remember the hostility of some people.....I re-entered the Active Army in 1984 and...
I had a problem with a dealer when tring to get parts for my slant eyed tractor....the hydrolic lines have an odd ball thread pattern and the dealer thought he was in the catbird seat.
The last time I tried to buy hoses for the power steering he wanted to bend me over the stump......I found a...
I know a GL location (close to me) that has so many small forklifts that they are selling them as surplus government property.rofl
If I had a nice shop and a concrete driveway I'd be on one of them like a hobo on a ham sandwich.

With all the hungry trial...
The prob with giving this POS a good old fashioned (and well deserved) arse kicking is that he can have you arrested and then (with a bastage trial lawyer) sue you for damages.
If, on the other hand, someone else gave him said arse kicking (with you having plausible deniability) justice would...

These boxes were used to ship computers and some come with handles and locks.
They are in pretty good shape but some have slight water damage.
The big boxes were a real...
If you are not licensed on the vehicle, have no tags or insurance and are not familiar with the vehicle you are 100% better off to have it shipped (even a short distance).
I have quit flat towing vehicles from Redstone due to liability issues....I now have a buddy of mine pick it up with his...
That looks like the 4000 pound rough terrain forklifts we used when I was in an Ordnance unit at Fort Benning.
In the main ammo dump they used the civy type warehouse type forklifts....when we went out in the field and set up a simulated ammo dump they used 4000, 6000 and 10,000 pound rough...
