Hey everyone,
I'm going to be hauling a M750 to just about the AL state line, and bobtailing home to Hopkins, SC. If anyone needs anything moved along the I-20 corridor to Columbia, SC or farther, let me know.
Leaving out at 2am, will be at exit 19 in GA on I-20 around 0730-0800.
Thanks,
Adam
I just wanted to share this with everyone, as the member map says no edit button. Well, I found one!
Just double click on your icon twice, and it will open up a page, where you can change your info, description, contact info, etc.
Just wanted to put that out there, Drew, might want to explain...
Well, I got my NOS wrecker light cable in the other day, and it is beautiful!
So tonight, I pulled out my wrecker light bar and tried to hook it up.
Hmmm, seems I have a problem. Not only are the pins not lined up the same, the connection on the bar has 3 round tabs to catch, while the cable...
Well, I got a M750, decided I needed to centralize all my spare parts and MV tools. Got it for $1300. In pretty good shape. Came with some extras! lol.
Behind the front storage shelving, I found 4 cans of Bud, an ancient hot plate, (still works!) an old paper plate, and a frying pan.
One row...
Broke down in TN side of i-40. Need 235/85r16 load range E or better. We already blew the a tire and used the spare earlier. Brandons dodge is making oil as well. Anyone nearby can help please call me 803-467-1220
I know it is a long shot, but I found a truck I really need, in Fairfield NC.
the auction closes today, and I'm wondering if anyone close might be able to hope over and look at it. I will gladly pay for your time and fuel.
I'm 6hrs away and it closes today, so that won't work.
Hate to bid...
I would like to bid on something, but I need to know if someone can pick it up first. It is just a triwall, with not much in it, 6 items. They can be moved easily by hand.
Need to know by 5pm.
Thanks!
Well...
It works, sort of. Runs great! wrecker part not so much... boom up and down works great, crowd in and out works great too! The hoist motor makes some noise, but doesn't turn. (watched the jackshaft on the back of the motor.) the swing motor works great! but doesn't turn the boom...

Hey Guys and Gals,
I came into work this morning, and couldn't get onto the site! It was blocked! Went over to my good buddy who is also the IT guy, and we found out why.

I'm up in VA at fort Eustis for my 36 month locomotive engineer recertification. Got to play with some big MV's. Thisd year instead of empty flatcars or boring boxcars.
Hey everyone,
Anyone in the south east or along the way want to convoy up to Haspin? So far it looks like it will just be me and JP (EMD567)
Hoping to gather up others. I will have deuce fuel available for $3.00 a gallon if that helps anyone.
If you want to go, but don't have a truck, take...
Well, my phone rings at about 0430 this morning. It is Phil (stonepicker1) at my gate with my A/C kits. We get him in and unloaded (GOT to get the wrecker working!)
So I go to work. From the second I'm on the road to work to when I email the boss saying I'm taking the afternoon off, I'm...
All parts are going to be kept, so please don't ask for any. Had some time today, started to torch the rusty crusty wrecker.
Here are the starting pics
Hey All!
Went down to take a look at my M62 wrecker today, with BigUgh20 and a friend of mine. I got her cheap, and you will see why!
First off, she isn't a M62. After seeing several distinguishing features, she is a M543, just as others have suspected. Also is an early truck, as she was...
Just wanted to share me and JP (EMD567's) epic warpspeed m270 recovery from Texarkana, TX to Hopkins, SC (or in reality, Winnsboro, SC to the RR museum.) We were also supposed to pick up a forklift for the museum in MS, so I figured buying a trailer out west would kill two birds...
We were...
Too Bad they didn't put these babies in service! :drool:
I wonder where the prototypes are?:twisted:

I've got a m270a1 that I might have to ask someone to pick up and hold for a week or so, it is on radials and they all look like they hold air. EUC just cleared, so I need to get it off base by the 23rd.
Anyone able to do that for me if I wind up needing it?
Thanks!
Adam
Not for good I hope.
Yesterday, my driver was returning from Charleston, SC to Winnsboro, SC (approx 120miles) with the empty M967 tanker. At mile post 176, he noticed the oil pressure had dropped a little from its normal running warm place (around 60psi) and the temp had gone up. He also...
