Got this at a recent GSA auction. I have downloaded two of the TM's but if anyone has an original copy I would sure appreciate it. Not sure what kind of work it will need - will be bringing it home next week. One question for the group: It has air brakes. Do you have to put air in the...

I had a SEE tractor until last year when I sold it. It was a nice machine, but with the weight of the attachments and the engine not having a great deal of power I got it stuck a few times when I figured I shouldn't have. The loader was a schmidt FL4 and was good for light work, but not the...

Wideload, That is a very cool M746. Can you past some more pictures of it! Thane

emr - If you end up sending your cable to him I would like a copy or send me a PM. I have been able to source the connectors but not the wire or a wiring diagram. Regards, Thane

Finally found the one at the recent GL auction. Not in great shape, but once I get it home I hope it won't need too much to fix it up. Here is a picture. I think it is a FW35, but no markings, so I will have to look at it once it is here. If there is anyone near Camp Lejune that could help...

I finally won a fifth wheel wrecker I had been looking for to complete my truck. I was wondering if anyone was headed to Camp Lejeune, NC in the next week or so, or was close that could pick this up for a few $? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Thane

Those are axle tow bar straps. They fix to the front axle and allow attachment of the tow bar.

Ron, Haven't touched it. We've been dealing with snow and ice here (6 inches today). Maybe in the spring! Thane

Ron - either style would look good on the 8x8. Have you started to restore it yet? would love to see a few photos of the progress. Thane

Ok - well. no picture. Lets try that again!

I ran across this thread recently. I have been looking for a Holmes FW-35 for awhile to complete my wrecker restoration. The fifth wheeler in the previous posts are significantly different than the the Holmes units I was familiar with. Can anyone give a little history of the design...

rboltz - sent you a PM. Let me know if you are able to help. Thane

Is there anyone that lives near or that is going to the Mechanicsburg GL site in the next few weeks that could pick up and keep an item for me if I win it. Weight is about 4000lbs on palate. Email me and I can send details - load times etc.. Appreciate any help.

The truck is rear drive and seems to be in fairly good condition. Here are a few more photos of the M876 - I will post some better ones once I have it back at the shop.

Well - thought I would post a pic of the newest MV in my collection. Hope to have it home in a week or two. Needs engine work so if anyone has a IH DV-550 motor around let me know.

The Rocky mountain Moggers web site has a a links page that lists many sites that have Unimogs for sale. http://www.rockymountainmoggers.com/links.html He should start his search there. You guys are correct that he is likely talking about a 406. While a realistic price for a good one with...

Thanks Ron - good luck with your project too!

Well I am finally getting around to prepare to get the M.A.N truck fixed up. There must have been a s..t load of parts for these trucks that were dumped when the trucks were. If anyone has anything for the M.A.N collecting dust I sure would appreciate it! Regards

Thanks everyone for the advice. The truck is a 10 ton! Any other thoughts about shops to consider please let me know. Regards

Does anyone have comments about who does good work with a MV restoration. Looking for shop with a good reputation, good work and honest job. Also would like to know who to avoid.
