    900 series 5 ton cabover

    I know a place that has so much OD green paint that they sell it.:mrgreen:

    Steel Topper KY to FL

    If nothing else get it to my LZ and as soon as we get something going that way we'll ship it. I'm not sure what they're driving up in but I assume it will be a big pickup truck. It needs to be down here before the end of Thanksgiving weekend. If all else fails I can bring it to the GA...

    900 series 5 ton cabover

    Having a lot of stick time in a HEMMT I can tell you that while that cab has a cool factor it is a poor way to make a living. They are cramped, have sucky visibility, no mechanical linkage to the steering box (all hydrolic) and are actually a "cab foreward" design". In a sleeper cabover you...

    Steel Topper KY to FL

    I have a tractor with forks if that's what it takes to get it unloaded.

    900 series 5 ton cabover

    This is for all you guys out there with far more practical fabrication experience than I have but since I have a wild imagination and too much time on my hands I'll throw this out there. The 900 series 5 tons are coming out in large numbers which means they are going to get pretty cheap (as...

    Has GL grown a funny bone?

    One of the most famous quotes of the Vietnam War was a statement attributed to an unnamed U.S. Public Affairs Officer by AP correspondent Peter Arnett. Writing about the provincial capital, Bến Tre, on February 7, 1968, Arnett said: "'It became necessary to destroy the town to save it,' a United...

    Load Out Assistance Needed at Redstone, Huntsville AL

    Well...the game plan is to roll three pickups into one tomorrow......my new flatbed, the item for EI and some stuff purchased by another member who is going with me to pick it all up. I'm going to try to remember to take the camera and Elmo.

    Has GL grown a funny bone?

    Darn Grimlins. Grimlin: A gremlin is an imaginary creature commonly depicted as mischievous and mechanically oriented, with a specific interest in aircraft. Gremlins' mischievous natures are similar to those of English folkloric imps, while their inclination to damage or dismantle machinery...

    Trailer value

    They are worth what folks are willing to pay for something they think they need. Your discription does not tell us much. Do you have 8 trailers with 2 gennys each or do you have 4 trailers with 2 gennys each? Are they the M105 type trailer with two gasser gennys or are they M101 style...

    another truck

    Cool in theory. I bet they ain't cheap and are prob a bear to work on. I'm sure Oshkosh is standing by to be the service contractor to maintain them during their life cycle. I hope they dumped that V-8 driptroit that they foisted off on the military in the early versions of the HEMMT, PLS...

    Cheap ac

    I do not do well in the heat due to some meds I take. That being said the thought of AC in a deuce (or other tactical vehicle) never appealed to me. I have suffered miserably in deuces (and in M915's) but that is the nature of the beast. If you want comfort and lousy fuel milage buy a Ford...

    Commercial use of M915's, 916's, 920's etc...

    The van is great for rallys since I have made a hooch in the front complete with queen sized bed and power. A small electric heater keeps it toasty at night when the temps get low. Future plans call for more of a RV interior with plenty of storage space. I might add a small window or two since...

    Commercial use of M915's, 916's, 920's etc...

    There are several members on here using M915's and larger for all kinds of hauling. Reb87 up in Nebraska has several of them to haul corn and soybeans with. There have been several pics posted over the last few months. I love my M915 but making a living in it would be a tough row to hoe...

    flipping hubs, are these all the seals I need?

    You will need a big press to get the lug studs out unless you intend to pound them out with a BFH.

    Recovery from Redstone

    The EUC on my new trailer cleared today and I will be headed to Redstone Friday to pick it up (assuming I can sweet talk Teresa into an appointment). The trailer is a standard highth 32 foot flatbed. They have a dock that I can load a vehicle onto the trailer and I have a place at my LZ that...
