Is there a reason we keep these classifieds? Can't see what good they are and frankly they confuse folks who think they're still active but broken. Whatdya think Mike? Worth losing?
Well, the nightmare is underway. Wednesday went out to lift the boom of the wrecker and the hose that provides oil to the valve bank burst. After my oil shower I found the problem and tried to remove the hose. No wrenches bigger than 1 1/4" so the day was done. On the way to work stopped by...
OK so not really the transfer case but the steel container. I've only seen a few of these and passed one up at DSCC a few months back. If anyone gets one of these transfer case containers and wants to move it, let me know.
Wouldn't mind finding an engine can either...
OK gang, way back in the 90s GM produced a CUCV II. Never really seen any of them in service but they did exist. Now heres the big question. I've got a 1994 K3500 crew cab dually. Its getting worn and not quite what it used to be. Has bad paint and both dually flares are damaged (not by me)...
Lance aka Hookin1 was nice enough to sell me this M715. Short of finding another cab, its going to be sitting a while. If I get backed into a corner, it might become an MJ-715. Pics should explain everything. Since I took these this morning, the wrecker boom ( poor excuse) has been removed and...
Does anyone have hands on experience using the welder/genset on the contact maintenance truck? I'm seriously considering needing one of these. So serious that the tractor might be on the way out to get one. Just wondering if the welder genset is user friendly and able to work consistently in the...
I ordered some Packard connectors from Saturn earlier in the week. Yesterday I decided to try my recent acquirement of the Daniels AF8 crimper on a new harness. The trailer plug on the back of the M108 is mounted to a bracket welded to the 1/4" plate steel above the stiff leg mounts. The...
For all you guys toting the kids around in the deuce, I bought these Peltor Jrs many years ago for my kid, he was 2 at the time. They work great! I know magnus580 uses them for his little one too...
Gang, just wanted to say thanks for hosting me in abstentia via Jerry Warren aka JW4x4. Jerry said he had a good time and I'm glad you guys made him feel welcome. He posts infrequently but I know he'll read this. We spoke today and are trying to work out the details of my driving up a deuce...
Well gang, I can officially do wiring now. Just bought a Daniels AF8 crimper on Ebay.

Now with this I can do all my milspec wiring mods in a factory fashion. I'm psyched!
Well, today my rear wiring harness came in. I now have a complete wiring harness for my crane. Don't know when I'll install it but hopefully soon. This thing is getting really close to roadtrip ready. I need almost nothing to get it ready. Just time now! Woo-hoo! If anyone needs a rear harness...
Today I took the M108 over to help a young fella swap engines in his deuce tractor. Spent a few hours there, skinned up a few knuckles. On my last hoorah, I was draining the oil out of the removed engine so he could remove the oil pan. When I stood up, I caught my head on the freshly sawn off...
