Joe,I was there on Wednesday the 15th. It looked as few as 20 trucks had been removed, and maybe not even that many. Joe did say 50 more are coming in.
Was telling me that he was betting the 50 or so FMS trucks that are there would get turned over to GL. Predicting the Phillippines would back out.
If that's the case, my M36A2's shorter twin will go high, as everyone will have to get past me for that one

Yes, almost all of the FMS freeze trucks had winches. But, you better not take a chance and go get a truck from PA or KY or something like that

If it makes you feel any better, my dad is still waiting on his SF-97, so he still can't drive it.

I was picking up 5665. Joe had all ready started it so I moved it out to where I could check it over. It only needed air in the two front tires for the 50 mile ride home. Although it will probably need batteries and work on the emergency brake.

Received my EUC
I had an email this morning from GL. This was my first EUC and it took about 50 days. I do not know if other first timers from Selfridge are receiving EUCs yet, but if not, take heart. Ol' brakeless and Ol' rusty are comin' home!

Safety first!
If your driving them out, check brake fluid level, check for wheel cyl leaks.
Check the lug nuts! Look for anything loose in the steering.
and hit the brakes hard while still in the lot, then check for leaks again.

The 5-Ton Tractor(M818?) is still sitting along M15 about one mile from my house.
Since it has been there a while now, perhaps the owner(uknown) would be a bit
flexible and bring down the asking price?? It is listed on the For Sale sign as
$3900
It is not in bad shape, decent hard-top cab, good tires and sheet metal. The
underside of the hood is nothing but rust, but it is sound. I have not seen it
run, but it seems it could be an decent addition to someone's motor pool if they
are looking for a 5-Ton.....
I would probably jump on it if it had a winch!
If anyone decides to buy it and needs assistance, I am only one minute away
and would gladly help. My cell is 989-233-7664
