I put the fifthwheel off of my M915 on my M920. The pins on the m920 were 1.5 inches so I had to use bushings to make the pins from the 915 work. I hauled 845 bushels by loading the back hopper of my 43 foot trailer almost full and the front hopper a little less. 86940 total lbs, I had 67400...
My 915a1 with big cam 3 400hp cummins that I just picked up in topeka started missing/stumbling today. It sat for 3 yrs in topeka and has just 38k miles on it. It drove home the two hundred miles with no problems and Ive hauled a couple 80k loads with it but today it had a little miss on the...
I hauled a JD401b tractor(in the back of the Deuce) to my brother in Kansas City yesterday spent the night as his place. Picked up my mep003a from brother and then drove to Topeka to get my new 915a1. Its the national guard base and you enter through a gate on the east side of the base. The...
If anybody is going to gl indianapolis I have a M916 there that Id appreciate a condition inspection on. I dont know if I will fly in or drive there to get it.

Im not sure of the kingpin size difference between the m920 and conventional fithwheels. I was wondering if there is enough size difference to make a split, bolt on shell that would bolt over a standard kingpin to make it the right size for the m920 fithwheel? I thought it would be nice to...
I seem to have burned up the alternator when a battery cable rubbed thru the insulation and shorted out. The transformer-rectifier was smoking. Does anybody know if it can be rebuilt or where I can find another one? Its a Leece-Neville model a001090555 14-28volt, 100amp and a big bolt on...
My neighbor just picked up a Deuce from Ft Leonard wood Mo and the front driveshaft that was pictured in the sale photos(in the cab) is gone. I figured maybe the sprag was not adjusted properly so they removed the shaft. Anyway does he have any recourse with GL for something that was taken...
Ok it looks like I finally got a m920 on todays Pineville LA gl sale. Im thinking that I will fly in when my euc clears and Im wondering if there is anybody local who could drive me out to the base. I thought I could bring a few tools with me on the plane but will probably need to bring a...

Been using the 915a1 to haul corn to ADM for ethanol. The auto trans is sure nice in town. Ive been stopped at stoplights with several other semi trucks hauling corn and I can blow them away from a stop. Shifting a manual trans cost them a couple truck lengths before they are running the same...
I got a 5000g tanker in Columbus OH GL . The euc hasnt cleared yet but I may need it towed from the gl lot. I am bringing a m35a3 (using a converter dolly) from Wright Pat and dont know if they will let me on the base "in transit" . If somebody could pull the trailer off the base when it...
I bought 11 snatch blocks from Fort Carson GL and was going to have my uncle from Denver pick them up but hes having some medical issues. Could somebody here pick them up and store them for a few weeks? They would easily fit into a pickup. They need to be picked up this week. Thanks...
I have a ROPS for my JD450C crawler loader in Okahumpka, FL that needs to be picked up and either stored or shipped to me in Nebraska. It is roughly 50"x50" and probably weighs a few hundred pounds. It is the roll bar on this crawler loader. The owner can load it.
I had to go to the bottom of a huge draw behind my house with my m818 to pull out my m313 so I could pull the like new radial michelin 11x20s to single out my 2.5ton. There is about 15 inches of snow and I couldnt make it up the steep hill so I hooked the winch up to a tree at the top of the...
