If it can be palletized, I would suggest Old Dominion Freight Lines or R&L Carriers over Yellow. Call them and let them know your budget, and they'll work with you. Emphasize that it is class 50 (scrap), and non-perishable :-D. Andy

According to the TM, an M915 weighs 19,630 lbs. The top speed is 66-1/2 mph, and fuel mileage is approx 5 mpg. Andy

David, If you do part it out, I would like to buy the davit from you. Thanks, Andy

As Will said, it's taking air somewhere in the system. A good place to start is w/ the tank selector valve on the floor. Afterwards, trace the line to the injector pump and check for leaks. Andy

It's time for me to go and get my M920 from GA. Hairba11 and I will be heading down to GA on Monday, and then driving back on Tuesday and Wednesday. Anybody along the route available for help if it breaks? We'll be filling the trunk of hairba11's car to the brim w/ tools and fluids, so we'll...

Yup, If hairba11's in for one, then I'm in for one. Andy

I couldn't see why not. The trailer weighs 15K lbs (total). Look at the data plate, see what the rear tandem axle weight is (both axles, empty), divide by 4, and see if that is under the load rating of the tires. Andy

It was an electrical repair trailer, where they rebuilt starters and alternators (the're were several of each in the drawers, as well as a small comm lathe and several (leaky) gallons of armature shellac). They we're used as equipment repair trailers, or as clerical trailers. Andy

Today, Hairba11 and I removed the old and broken 3 phase electric panel, and installed a new 1 phase electric panel. The plan is to have a 6 ga extension cord that can be plugged into the back of the trailer and power all the outlets and the lights (and the beer fridge, laptop, humidor...

Nice! Andy

Can you give an idea of what they did, why they did it, and approximate cost? Thanks, Andy

I'm in St Louis if you need a hand. Andy

Wow! Thanks, Soni! You read my mind as to the next set of questions that I had! When you start out, do you use 1st, or is it ok to start in a higher gear, like 4th or 6th? Thanks, Andy

Found it! Thanks! I have it saved as a .pdf file now, so if anyone else needs it I can email it. Andy

Title sez it all, I bought an M920, and I intend to drive it home. An idea of the differences between it and an M818 would be helpful :-D. I believe the TM # is 9-2320-273-10. Thanks, Andy

Relax, it's all in good fun. This is supposed to be fun, remember?rofl Andy

I can't help w/ any of the planetary questions, but here is what I know of the 10 ton axles: (This info is for the axles off of an M123 series truck.) Only the front (steering) axle is a planetary (portal?) design, the 2 rear axles are scaled up 5 ton axles. The gear ratio is approx 9:1...

From Left to Right: M818 M816 #1 (front winch & vise removed and added to the M818 on the left) M816 #2 M35A2 (former fire truck) M123E2 M109 M36 (another former fire truck) Andy
