Interesting question. Always hard to tell someone else what is best for them. Most MV's are relatively slow when you look at the speeds most people travel on the interstate. On the other hand it would probably be hard to find an MV that could not easily tow most travel trailers. Not sure...

What a nightmare. At least it was remedied. Of course the dain bramage from sorting this out won't be compensated for. I will bet this cost the insurance company more than what you paid for shipping. Best wishes here on out with that wonderful piece of MV iron!

Looks like it might have been set up for logging. I would start at the circuit breakers and fuses. Can you tell if the crane is powered by a PTO? If you have not done so already, the Technical Manuals (TM) are located on this site and elsewhere for free. They are gold when it comes to...

I like it. Looks beautiful. It looks as if the boxing only went as far as the angle brace. Not needed beyond that I suppose. I wonder what it would be rated at? 2000?

Best wishes for a safe and fun trip. I am up near Laramie just South of 80. 970 484 2877 if you need something. Sounds like you crossed all the T's and dotted the I's.

Nice looking Navy Deuce. Were you all in the Navy at some time? SeaBees?

Nice trailer. Are you going to try and place the genny on the tongue?

That was Goldfinger's Laser rifle version. Very limited production.

Welcome from Colorado. Quite possible. Some had special communications equipment or even

I was wondering if a change in mass helps them develop a little more horse power than the LDT versions? The rings look like they are arranged a bit differently as well. Very good to follow your work.

Man, just think of all the cool broken stuff you could fix with a fully equipped one of those. Start the genny, open the clamshell and your open for business. Not as needed with today's ethos of replace rather than repair. But for our stuff that's something else again. Maybe you would not use...

Pretty scary deal. Hard to say what caused it. Something defective in the battery would be high on my suspect list. Probably want to check the battery wires very thoroughly. That much heat and energy being dissipated rapidly could cause some hidden damage. I would start at the connection to...

That is a sharp looking MV. Best of luck getting it home. I presume you don't want to try driving it home.

That is awesome--and welcome to the forums from Colorado!

Sorry to hear about the engine damage but it sounds like you have a good plan to get running again. Love the M275. Sure wish I could find the 6 ton flatbed trailer.

Welcome from Colorado and good luck on your negotiations!

This is good thread, good pictures and explanations. Thanks for posting up. Hope your looming deadline still works for your travel plans. will be rooting for a safe and trouble free trip. Keep up the good work!

Very nice fab work. can you get mil spec powder coating nowadays? or just pick something similar?

Nice. Long drive? Reno to Vegas does not seem that far. Good recovery anyway. Looks brand new except for the tie downs.

Nice find. You can never have too many. Especially in that condition! Congratulations on the recovery.
