Alright then, from the glorious New River Valley! Welcome.

You can probably fin someone to tow it for 4-6 dollars a mile.

Try Amazon, my mechanic was trying to sell me one for 1,500, when I saw them on Amazon for 215. I don't know if they are made in China. I had one feller try to get me to change to a 12v starter, he was spouting out all sorts of nonsense. At the end of the day the 250 is a common truck motor...

Salute from God's glorious New River Valley, fellow Virginian!

I'm curious if anyone had seen an Onan 2 cylinder engine put on a motorcycle? What do you think? PS....sold my 5 ton.

I just spray a ether in the intake while cranking. Works great.

Hooah, 1LT Vaughn, VaARNG. Go 5 Ton brother.....welcome to the forum and the addiction. 20 minutes ago I was beasting the 5 ton through town.

Shoot some of that good stuff in the intake. If Sam wanted a block heater he would have issued one. jk....I've been thinking about the magnetic type, but I doubt the effectiveness.

I was talking to a Vietnam vet and he said they used to brush the paint on. Does Lowes do the federal colors? Anyone ever clear coat?

That's not bad in Virginia they'd really screw you.

My wife collects shoes....you collect Military Vehicles. Wow...nice collection. I try to get my wife to throw one pair of shoes away when she buys another pair. You have your own motor pool!

How much does the GOV pay for HETs? What was the original price? ***Just saw the pic for $256,700. WOW...nice buy. What is the KBB value? Just kidding.

How much do you pay for registration? In Virginia, cost is determined by GVWR. And a 5 ton, 33,000 pounds costs about $500/year. So 240,000 GWVR would be about $4,000 per year? I'm so jealous....a HET makes 5 tons look tiny.

I am a 1LT in the Virginia Guard. Welcome!

All I know is I've wasted a lot of time staring at my computer and over the past year I have seen fewer and fewer 5 tons coming up for auction. But I was hoping that you guys with more experience could calm my troubled soul. I still want a m932 tractor. But only one in the next four weeks in CA...
