did you figure out it needs a grease gun with either a fixed tube end or hose and you push it onto the grease "zerk" on your support leg right? a bit of grease oozes out the various fittings once you start pumping the handle of the grease gun. eventually it starts oozing out of the landing leg...

recent sales thru GSA in Colorado A couple weeks ago the Forest service in Ft Collins Colorado auctioned off a couple G749's and a 12 or 15 deuces. They all were in rough shape but fairly complete. I talked to the forest service agent in charge of the site and he thought Boyce bought most of...

Looks a little more robust than your average farm equipment. More like a well equipped excavation contractor. Nice toys!

I received a reply from JWADE. He confirmed he is a GovPlanet guy and has no connection with Gov Liquidation. My misnake. With that being said, does anyone know if there is a steel soldier that has an inside track with GovLiquidation? Would be curious to know what the title issue is and if...

I sent a PM to JWADE. our resident GL person to see if he can provide any info on those operations.

Not sure about the title jumping thing. I know a lot of people that buy and flip vehicles for a living. They usually do some sort of work on them to get them roadworthy. my guess is that is what is happening.

I believe someone from GL at the Auburn site must be buying vehicles on the open market in Cali and then auctioning them under the GL umbrella. It says in the descriptions that they will be issued Cali titles in the new owners name. I have found some of the vehicles for sale under the previous...

I wonder if that includes the 3rd party vehicles they are selling out of Auburn Cal?

???? Perhaps it was my use of the word recovery? Generally, "recovery" means someone is going to pick up a new to them MV somewhere and take it home. Did not mean to suggest you might be going to have an issue enroute. A long drive to Alaska, for me anyways, has always been exciting and...

Sounds like a great recovery trip! Have a safe trip!

Yes, good photo sequence too. Thanks! Machine shop for the caster plates or hand grind?

Howdy and welcome from Colorado. I too like to tinker with small engines. Alas, no knowledge or suggestions on your flywheel situation. With dimensions and photos of the back of your engine(s) it might be possible to convert or build an adapter. Lots of remarkable minds and experience on...

Howdy and welcome from Colorado!

Boy Howdy Roy ain't that the truth!

Sounds like the few things that were wrong were not too big deal except for the driveshaft. Someone must have shuffled it around with a forklift at the yard. Were the seats and dashboard in bad shape?

Can you do recoveries from a military base in AZ and temp storage at your lot with someone else's long haul removal later?

I like the "Frenched" roller fairlead. Are you going with a military style chain lead on the end of the cable or make everything so it tucks up behind the bumper face when traveling?

I noticed that you rerouted the slobber tube from in front of the spring shackle to behind it. I presume to take the kink out of it. Looks like you ended up moving the kink farther up the tube though. Are you working on a solution or just leave it as good enough? I was thinking a 45 into the...

Howdy and welcome from Colorado! What vehicles are you interested in buying?

Thanks Special T. I was noticing the difference in pilots(cap nuts with pilots) and the reference for steel inners and aluminum outers. I suppose that is why the pilots are longer due to the thicker aluminum rims. I would imagine that is also the difference in longer studs shown. for steel...
