    Pickup in Doyle, CA (need a small item picked up?)

    No problem. I have no idea how to get an item for somebody else. Set it up and PM me I'll pick it up and UPS it to you when I get back.

    Pickup in Doyle, CA (need a small item picked up?)

    This has been on the list for awhile. The Tundra comes with a class 4 but the hitch I have won't go high enough. It's been an issue with a couple MQ gensets I have to tote around but I've just been dealing with it. The hitch I have has a few bolt hole adjustments I think I'll find a big plate...

    8V92 Coughs but Won't Start (SOLVED!)

    Beat me to it I was going to say check the shutdown damper as well. I worked with a bunch of 71's in the marine biz this got guys all the time.

    Pickup in Doyle, CA (need a small item picked up?)

    Well let me know. It looks like the best vehicle I have to tow an M1102 is the M936A2. Would use the Tundra but the hitch height is pretty different. I can pick it up and drop it in Reno or take it back to Felton. Put it on a pallet in the yard for awhile or drop it at your favorite shipper in...

    Pickup in Doyle, CA (need a small item picked up?)

    Hahaha joke's on me. I bought a trailer and totally spaced on the fact it's in Doyle. Maybe I'll be the one getting this stuff for YOU! I've got another item up there on auction and am going to try and put them off after that one closes on the 20th. I should be able to get up there first week...

    Pickup in Doyle, CA (need a small item picked up?)

    EDIT: I won a trailer. I'm going. So instead of needing an item picked up[ do YOU need something picked up? So I got a wrecker ring gear for a great price but have to get it now. This item is the bearing under the crane so it's about 30" in diameter and weighs maybe 200 pounds. It's a two...

    Cannon Plugs

    That link I posted above: go to that and open the "Technical Datasheet" link. This will open the catalog that governs the layout. Amphenol military is WEIRD in that their layout nomenclature is different than anybody else. For example if you told me you were looking for a XXXX-20-17P I would...

    5-ton Battery Kill Switch??

    Pretty much any of the heavy duty ones will work. I have one with a little key. I mounted mine at the dead space at the end of the battery box, like above, along with a 70A 24/12 voltage converter and a fuse box for 12V stuff. Probably do a little inverter and remote on/off at some point. Lots...

    Cannon Plugs

    I hear you. I made an "interrupter" harness for the M939A2 CTIS system so I could break it out and talk to it. Same type of stuff. You should be able to cross reference and find the proper nomenclature. It was a lark as I was typing the number there were "C" parts.... Some of this is NOT very...

    Which trailer to buy?

    Wow thanks. The M1082 is EXACTLY what I would be looking for! Height is about right, length isn't too long (I live in the mountains), drop side bed, air brakes. And.... there's ONE for sale in AZ that's 680 miles away from me. Dangit. It's like I live in a "dry state" for this stuff!

    Which trailer to buy?

    This is super helpful. Thanks. Doing a search for sold A3's only turns up 2 from GovPlanet in different parts of the country (in the last year). The A2's are much more accessible. Speaking of price I neglected to mention that is a big factor. As you pointed out they are going for rather stupid...

    Which trailer to buy?

    Well I used my truck the other day to go work on the M543A2 I'm retrieving and wound up using binder chains to strap 5 rims/tires to the boom to take home so I could paint the rims and change the tires. So there's a start. I also use the wrecker to hoist logs and whatnot. So there's another...

    Which trailer to buy?

    So I'm looking for a trailer. Why? Because my M936A2 wrecker has no space! Sure I can lift stuff but where the heck do I put it? I'm leaning towards the M105A2 due to price point and (apparently) fairly common parts. I'll also use it with an M35A2, an M817 or a M542A2. Any reasons to save up for...

    My first multifuel?

    Well I cleared all the loose parts and took them home. Just went and looked and there it is. Thanks for letting me know where it goes!

    My first multifuel?

    I'm going to guess it's an air actuated throttle raising device switched from the rear deck engagement lever. This lever at the cab side of the drag winch (on the crane deck) would also actuate the clutch pedal defeat cylinder. Upon engagement it would disengage the clutch pedal and throttle the...

    WA state cancelling MV titles

    [ They issue titles. It was a made up excuse to deny people. I think somebody finally sued them. I have an M936A2, M817, M542A2 and M35A2 all with titles. Three of them historical plated. The M817 actually has a VIN "USMCxxxxxx" on the title which is really cool. There are some other tricks...

    My first multifuel?

    That.... is a lot of work! Envious of your progress. Are you all going by hand or is this a combination of blasting, DA sander and hand? Would like to see pictures of your mess. I think my work area is similar and I have similar things on the long list so am curious to steal your methods. All...

    M936A2 Crane Removal

    Not yet. I need to replace the slew bearing on mine so if you beat me to it will be interested in how it goes. I suggest keeping it around for a re-install I'm finding mine pretty handy. Though a short boom you can get in some pretty tight spots with that truck. Also I've hung a snatch on the...
