After reading this thread I am compelled to throw my2cents in the ring. I have been in the MV /military
surplus arena since I was a 16 year old pup (53 year ole dog now.....hehehehee!!!!) and I used to buy from DRMO sales all the time. From time to time there were items that had EUC's, but...
I know what those winches came on and I would think if they would suffice on an MRAP they would do OK on the Deuce. I am thinking about selling a few in the future if they work out. I could see a lot of adaptability in these kits. I.E front/rear units ,on vehicles such as CUCV's etc...
Also try looking in South Eastern KY in the log woods as a lot of the ones Howard Hammonds had
went to the loggers around Greenville KY and the mines. He said they used them on pumps and such
in the mines, and the loggers put them on their log skidders. Also remember the 3-53 used in the...

Well worst case scenario we can possibly get the Govt. to sell them as scrap with "US" performing the Demill, as I said I demilled about 50 or so when they released the bulk of them. So I know the requirements WELL!!!. It would take some effort to get it in the works but we would have to be...
All us Goat Heads need to POOL some bucks and do a negotiated sale with the Govt. To do the demill. we can make money on the scrap side and save a HEEEPP!!!! of hard to find parts in the
process. I used to work for one of the largest Military Surplus dealers in the State o KY> and he proved...

cultivate some prior sales interest ,so anyone that might need anything Big Jim could bring ,give him a yell and I think he will be a return vendor in the future if we can get him there this...
I ran into a guy many years ago that ran an M-37 as a mud truck,he said he was always breaking axles. So he talked with a friend that was into metallurgy and he said he knew a way to solve his
problems. He told him to take his axles ,find a wooden crate they would fit in ,pack it with dry ice...
