    939-809 parts interchange question

    Thanks for the info! I neglected to remember about the brakes .... good point. I'll check the P/N's on the internals, then. But I'm not a big fan of the 939 series and will prefer to keep my 817. In my humble, non-expert opinion, it's a matter for amiable debate as to which one is "the...

    939-809 parts interchange question

    Apologies if this has been addressed -- search didn't come up with anything for me. Anyway ... If I were to change out my NDT tires/wheels on my 809-series truck (817 to be exact), are the super singles I'm seeing on the 939-series trucks a form/fit replacement? From what I can tell from the...

    Ft Meade M817 Pickup 17 Aug -- Input?

    Danl -- It's all good! You were a worthy opponent and I'm happy to have met you this way -- hopefully someday we can enjoy a beer together! Besides, you really didn't run the bidding up that high -- the truck was well worth what I've paid for it in my mind. Even my wife is pleased. This...

    Ft Meade M817 Pickup 17 Aug -- Input?

    Oooops. In the flurry of activity ... But thanks for asking. The pickup went smooth as silk on a bee's butt. We left the farm about 0630 to get ahead of rushhour traffic, got to Ft Meade about 0900 and to the DRMO lot about 0930 which was a full hour ahead of our appointment. Jason (GL...

    817 Came Home Today!

    1st day on the farm and I ran about 8 loads of mulch and dragged a pretty good sized Beech tree to the burn pile (much easier than cutting it up and carrying pieces :) ) . My neighbors were running a drag line digging out their pond and I surprised them by driving up on the dirt pile next to...

    817 Came Home Today!

    Made the 80-mile trek up to Ft. Meade this morning and recovered my M-817 I recently purchased. 5 ton pictures by stovebltr - Photobucket -- Some shots from the day. The loadout went smooth and the ride home was fun. The 6-71 Detroit enjoyed having a little weight for a change! Turns out the...

    Yet another from (Southern) Maryland

    Thanks for the welcomes! The EUC cleared in exactly 7 days and we roll at 0730 tomorrow for the pickup. Wish us luck -- by my figuring, the outside rears will be hanging over the trailer edge 1 inch either side :) Wreckerman -- I'll get you those forms as soon as someone remembers who has...

    Ft Meade M817 Pickup 17 Aug -- Input?

    Thanks gents, and thanks for the PM, Danl -- That's the truck! The pictures don't even come close to showing the condition of the truck. I think I'll pass on watching for the next batch of 817's -- there's just some things I don't need to know at this point if you know what I mean :whistle...

    Ft Meade M817 Pickup 17 Aug -- Input?

    Hi All, 1st time through the GL drill. EUC came back today after almost exactly one week -- I guess that's fast for a 1st time EUC? Being new at this, I'm glad to get any advice and words of encouragement I'm going to try to arrange the pickup for this Friday (17 Aug) and do it myself. I...

    Hi Fred -- I'm another noob from MD, although a good bit south of you in Mechanicsville. I hope we meet up sometime. This seems like a quality web site! Semper Fi,:beer: John

    Yet another from (Southern) Maryland

    Howdy all! Another Marylander checking in. I'm sure I'll be around to all your shops to get my inprocessing papers signed off :) We just did the GovLiq drill on an M817 and just now submitted the EUC and other paperwork. I'm reading the threads in the 5-ton forum and learning a lot about...
