What is the lift capacity of the electric ram that dumps the bed of a M-Gator? I want to attach one to a 3/4 GI trailer. Many thanks!

Are you the guy that has the DUKW?

I'll wave at you when you pass Perryville Marina, TN River Mile 135. Near the Hwy. 412 bridge, Alvin York Bridge. Nice boat ! Smooth sailing!

Anyone know of a source for good used 10 inch helicopter tires, like used on Blackhawk? Thanks

Game wardens all over the US call these "sneak lights." If you're going to use one of these, it's nice to have a big winch on the front of your truck. Because it's a matter of time when you lose a little concentration and wind up in a ditch. We were forbidden to use these on public roads for...

Welcome Baloo! I live about 100 miles from you. Grew up in Stewart County, 2 miles from the Ft. Campbell reservation. Dad worked there for over 40 years. I went to school at APSU.

I have a stupid question too. After removing the DOT 5, could you use DOT 3 in a Gamagoat? DOT 5 was used in them because they were, allegedly, amphibious. Thanks

The tracks look decent!

Yes indeed, you're right! BUT, usually those are civilian commercial trucks. Most of those I've seen have the same chassis as a off road dump truck. This truck was a military vehicle, with all the stuff a military vehicle would have, blackout markers, 24 volt with slave receptacles, pindle...

Several years ago I had a friend that was in the logging business. He had one truck that I had never seen before, or since. It was at least a 5 ton, 6x6, with a detachable bed. The only data plate I can remember was one that indicated it was a "dust control unit". I could not remember any model...

This is very interesting about the use of blackout lights and markers. I worked almost 35 years as a Tennessee game warden, and eight years as a sheriff. Don't know about other states. but it was common to see BO headlights on patrol vehicles. A few of us had NVGs and IR headlights on the front...

I appreciate your knowledge and input. I would love to have a Case MB-94, and so would one of my grandsons, he is a diesel mechanic at a Case IH dealership. That vehicle is wayyy before his time, but I bet some if the older mechanics might remember it. I promised him everything on the place with...

THAT"S IT! The Case mog is the one I remember. Of course it was painted with the Asplundh company colors and logo on the doors. So you say the 406 is the same vehicle as the SEE and HMMH vehicles, I didn't know that. As Sheriff I had one of each. Great vehicles! The only problem I could see...

My dad was a artillery mechanic for 101ABN. They referred to these as a SPAT, self propelled anti tank. I remember dad talking about they demilled a bunch of those for a surplus sale, don't remember the year. They were bought by a logging company somewhere up Wisconsin way, or at least in that...

I recently found one in a town near me. What would one be worth? I realize it depends on how original it is. I can't remember if the lunette hitch is intact. Otherwise it appears to be quite original.
