    Who has M656, XM757 and XM791 Parts?

    Good Idea Gimp. And we would be willing to do the same for the PTO's we have and for all the braketry and such as installed. Anything we can do to help........Other than sell you one.;)

    Who has M656, XM757 and XM791 Parts?

    We have two XM 791's WW but we are saving every part we can at this point. Our biggest source for help has been Cranetruck here on SS..........We aspire to know half as much as Cranetruck knows about these trucks. [thumbzup]

    Any mil flatbed trailers to complement the deuce?

    I like my M1061. It has the same bolt pattern to the wheels as the deuce. Obviously low profile tires and lower deck than a deuce bed. The tires are not 40 inches tall. But how tall do you really want the flatbed and how much ground clearance do you need? I have taken the deuce a lot of...

    Qestioned GL as to source of their info.

    I'm still looking for the M-35 that runs on the Mr. Fusion unit myself. Cause with that I just KNOW I can hit 88 MPH. :beer: Dad and I were just looking at a generator that had been up for auction several times. The description was confusing because it had several pictures of "other"...

    Qestioned GL as to source of their info.

    Each GL location has operators. Those operators supply a description and photos of the item up for auction. Since each location has a different operator the descriptions and photos provided are somewhat subjective. This also means the pictures and description of condition are not standardized...

    GD 15 min rule?

    One of the problems we see with the alternative site is their description of items is somewhat lackluster, sometimes. It depends on what they are trying to sell and who's administering the auction. So I would recomend some heavy duty previewing. Most of the time on GL the descriptions are fairly...

    Planes, Buses, and In-n-Out: The 1000 Mile Recovery

    What an awesome adventure. I have always had good luck with Hundy. He and his son have bent over backards for me and really helped me out. Besides that they are great people in their own right without all the goodness they have done for my MV habit. Last time we recovered something from...

    MV Vandalism

    This just plain sucks......Sure the insurance company is going to pay something. But it will not make you whole. It never does. Your time and energy is never compensated in these situations. Your increased patrols. Enhanced security measures etc. RRRRRRRR. I do like the "Castle" rule in Texas...

    XM791 Recoveries

    I am less concerned with the electramatronical horn thingy and more concerned with getting the fuel system more together. I sprayed some WD-40 in the air cleaner BEFORE we tried to turn the engine over. There was some resitance to the whole works turning over but suddenly it cranked over like...

    Cry Baby Neighbors

    I would like to say the rules are impartial and the rule makers do so with a fair hand. And I think there are SOME good rules and laws made for the right reasons. However my experience tells me different. Our farm has gone from Territory to State to County and now City jurisdiction.......And...

    M211 - Too Slow

    I've got a 261 Chev stovebolt with 2 single Rochester BC carbs on a 216 manifold, Fenton Cast Iron dual exhaust and a 261 with 3 single BC carbs and Fentons. They were good except for the full flow oil system and the oil passage through the head bolt to the rocker arms. Good job with the GMC...

    Has anyone here had fuel stolen?

    Theft is on the rise. I've had scrap iron stolen out of the barrel we use to hold the mailbox out through the fence at the highway. Almost caught the guy on the second pass that morning. Had my .45 ACP S&W with me and the two dogs. Guy hightailed it out of there before I could have a...

    Turned up the Fuel today

    Good thread. Ha Ha[thumbzup] I was getting geared up for all kinds of technical questions. Comparison LDT to LDS turbo boost 14 psi to 25 psi? Obviously different turbos and many improvements to the LDS but..... Head bolt stretch under heavy boost numbers over 25 psi? Has anyone run the...

    Loud horns

    I am subscribed. Best thread I have seen in a long time. Seems in place of finding the awesome train type valve maybe one could use a standard ball valve. And I'm thinkin' prototypes in PVC, final build in metal. But maybe I can get some lumber from sch 80 PVC.......HMMMM I have always...

    M211 - Too Slow

    Oldfarts 220 runs 55 all day long with the empty M-105 behind it, on the flat. It sniffs a hill and it slows down. The truck runs really good. I have been impressed. Everyone we talked to said they are slow as molasses in January. But honestly it out performs all of the stock M-37's I've run...
