Going up to Coleman's yard again on Friday with ShieldWolf37. I plan on picking up the following:

any towbars or towbar-related items (feet, pins, etc.)
any boarding ladders
winch I saw sinking into the ground in the back
wrecker spade bars - saw a pair back there last time

items I know people asked for:

M101 trailer legs for CGarbee
wrecker hook block for AMGeneral
control housing for MEP-002/003 genset for mangus580
spring seats, cushions, and 818 parts for dm22630

Items I know they have that I will pick up if someone requests them (immediate payment required after pickup)

M37 rims (tires are on the rims, but they are shot)
deuce rims (with tires, some are good)
winch chains/hooks for the deuce winch
winch snatch blocks
HUGE lifting chains and hooks, up to 60-ton capacity
anything else that is in their catalog or on their website - prefer YOU pay for this over the phone and I'll pick up for you

FREE delivery to Aberdeen, Haspin, VA rally, or Gilbert. Well, kinda free, buy me a beer or something, or say wonderful things about me to your single female friends.

Hey Bud!

Could you pick me up a pack of the fiberglass camo net support poles they sell? They come in a canvas bag with 12 sections (I believe) and a couple of spreaders. Catalog price is $19.95.

I can come pick them up from you on Saturday, if that's convenient.

Thanks!

Whats a cable adapter? If it's the clevis, they are kind of a "one time install" only thing.. I've never been able to get one apart after a load has been applied to it. I think thats by design for safety....

I've reused the clevis, and it is designed to do so. Forget what it's called, there is a wedge inside that may need replaced if it's of a soft metal.

My cable has a woven loop in it right now, it will work, but i need the proper way of hooking up the cain to the cable

I ordered a chain and hook from a guy on the board, but an extra might be nice.....

Mike:

I'm going to place an order for pick up. I need the camo support poles (the complete set with the bag), and a couple of NATO Gerry cans. They'll be paid for, just need to be picked up. Will that work for you?

Tanks!

Okay, I'm back. Will post details when I get some sleep, I'm exhausted. Sorry, no pics this time of the yard (pretty much everything that is there I showed pictures of in previous threads). I'll take a picture or two of my haul tomorrow.

Okay, here's the pics of what I towed home. Took a long time loading it up, lots of little stuff, but I'm glad to save some stuff from the scrapper.

Weather was perfect when I went - just warm enough to make pulling parts comfortable, but not buggy and the brambles haven't grown yet.

Total haul from the trip:

1 M37 rim
4 wrecker spades
1 wrecker hook snatch block (VERY heavy)
1 heavy towbar
4 short heavy towbars
1 -416 trailer axle
4 M151 rims
pile of VRC-12 cables and H-250 handsets (parts only)
2 sugar scoop antenna mounts
2 junker VIC-1 intercom amps
1 plastic battery box for deuce
misc deuce parts
2 exhaust stacks, complete, for M35A2
1 west coast mirror
2 axle straps, 1 with foot
62 small military fire extinguishers
3 "firing control boxes", whatever they are
1 corner antenna bracket for CUCV
1 new deuce grille
1 deuce spring seat
pile of unknown object - see last pic and let me know what they are
