Go to the GL website to the drop down menue under Event Calender.
It will have all the sales listed and when they start/stop.
You can watch that and sometimes you will see items before they show up on the Locations page.
Other than that, making friends with GL lot personel is the other...
While there were some army trailers that had reversable king pins I don't think the M747 did. Unless you get a M916 or larger you will have to put a bigger fifth wheel on the prime mover.
Using one of these trucks to make money is a hard row to hoe. They are spartan at best in the way of creature comforts. You can add air ride seats and AC and improve the ride some.
I drove a M916 from Fort Benning, GA, to Fort Chaffee, AR, and back hauling a D8 dozer one time. By the time I...
I have pulled them off an engine that was already out of a truck......it looks pretty tight in there....maybe someone else can chime in a give you the path of least resistance.

If you want the ultimate MV experience jump on board with some of the FL crew and come to the SS GA Rally in Oct. Go back and check some of the old threads and see how we live out in the woods like wildmen (and women).

grimlin unique to the series I guess.
In your case the leak is on the bottom so filling it with liquid is prob a non-starter....my old welding teacher told us several ways to purge a fuel tank so you could weld/braze on it. One method is to start a small engine and direct the exhaust into the tank to get the oxygen out.....you have...
When I had my M816 wrecker I put farm tags on it and got a farm insurance policy. My (Progressive) insurance agent told me when she sold
me the policy that if I towed anything with it on a public road (my stuff or anyone elses) that my policy would not cover it.
Tow insurance is very...
Make sure the fuel shutoff is not sticking.....just to be sure take the cable off where it goes into the injector pump and hit the mechinism with some WD-40 or Liquid Wrench while working it back and forth.
There is an in tank fuel pump on this truck (drivers side tank)....when you flip the...
