M1022 Gichner Mobilizers

I have been looking for a bottom set for 2 years now, they are hard to find. Hell, I'd been happy with just borrowing one that I could make a design drawing from to have new ones machines. If you come across any, keep me in mind.

I rebuilt the hydraulic cylinders too.

I have a chance to purchase one of these sets local to me, and before i found this forum i went to check it out today. I looked in the toolbox and it was empty. No bolts or anything.

Anyone make up a list of what should be in the box, and what to make sure you get for a complete setup?

It did have the long connecting cords and the Dolly wheels. I wasn’t sure what i was looking for though. Not sure about the bar to move it into position. I appreciate everyone who have posted information. I have high cube containers to move, and i was thinking just a large chain and ratchet binder to keep the top together, but I’m not sure that’s even a good idea, too much give. Given that these don’t fit even standard size containers, not sure it’s worth the price he’s asking. He does have 2 units, so if he has all the large bolts, i may try to get a complete unit out of 2. I don’t need a scrap project. Tires are new, these haven’t been used at all.

Fyy, gsa is selling tons of these at auction for really cheap in California outside north of Reno. Just have to transport them. Spare parts galore for those wanting to take a chance.
