If I had my way, I'd keep the thing. But at the end of the day, its my grandpa's pan and he told me that if I can't get scrap price for it, he will. After cutting it up. His health is failing and he's trying to liquidate as much of what he sees as otherwise worthless stuff as he can while he...

Monday is the deadline. My grandpa was going to cut it up this afternoon but I talked him into a short reprieve. If nobody steps forward by the first of the week its going to the scrapyard. And I was just told that the going price is 13.5c/lb. Hey, if nothing else, it has one 14.00/20 NDT...

With the right tractor you could definitely move a lot of dirt, but like you said, the trick would be finding a D6 or D7 with a double drum winch. The data plate says it has a 9 yd capacity. A little background on it: my grandpa originally bought (horse-traded, more likely) it to build a lake...

My grandpa is getting ready to scrap out an old Corps of Engineers earthmover / pan and I thought I'd see if anybody might be interested in it before we light up the torch. I don't really think it'd be worth the trouble to try to actually use it to move dirt, but it might be an interesting...

Oooo... nice! How much are those things going for,if you don't mind my asking? I've got a '56 REO dump truck thats going to need a motor if I ever get around to getting it operational again. Well, I do have two original Gold Comet V8s to make one good one, but that Detroit puts out about...

Its just an auxiliary transmission. The name is like "kleenex" or "bandaid"; its not necessarily made by Spicer. I'm not sure where the 'brownie' part comes from, though. In practice, they work kinda like a transfer case without the front output. Having one multiplies the main transmission's...

Great minds think alike. I've been daydreaming about swapping in a deuce t-case and axles under my grandpa's '68 F-600 he's giving me. Maybe even run the whole tandem set up after seeing that brochure with the Tulsa T-800s. :shock:

A T H311. Sandy Springs to be exact. I intend to get out within the year, though. Looking to move to either Idaho or Michigan. I went to the UP for a couple of days back in May and fell in lust with it. Its really beautiful up there and very sparsely populated, but not much in the way of...

Can I come, too? My trucks green, but it ain't quite mil spec. I could pull my M101, though. Its green. Well, green and rust. :D

Well, if anybody else wants to check it out, here's the craigslist ad: http://atlanta.craigslist.org/grd/415309733.html

You know, the more I think about it, the less I think I ought to buy that other trailer. The only thing I have to pull it with that would make use of its capacity is a '67 F600. And it needs a clutch. The M101 seems to be a good fit with my current truck. Now if anyone has a serviceable...

I've finally registered after anonymously reading the forums here for a while and would like to say "hi". My name's Tom and I recently bought my own little bit of OD steel, an M101A1. Its a little beat up but gets the job done, and that's what counts. I've only really used it a couple of times...
