    GL and SF97 issues

    Ask the DMV what is the procedure to title a vehicle for which there is no title. Pretty sure all states have a process. Fires and divorces happen. Titles get lost. Vehicles resting on the back 40 since Truman was President get resurrected. If the first answer you get seems overly...

    Who is handling the general surplus now that GL is out?

    The odd thing about the high starting bid prices is according to the wiki entry for Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers, they are really big into no reserve auctions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ritchie_Bros._Auctioneers Wonder if they spent too much buying Iron Planet and are trying to recover the...

    Fuel tank crud..

    One of the reasons for the crud is that for many decades, diesel was the crap left over after the refiners made gas, Jet-A, lubricating oil, naptha and all the other light stuff. The next stuff after diesel came out was ship bunker fuel and asphalt. That is why it used to be a cheap fuel...

    TMs in print

    Download the TMs from here and have them printed local. I did that with a manual for an old tractor. From the mfg, the printed manual was $30 + shipping. The pdf was $30 no tax/shipping. Kinkos charged $15 to do a double side print and spiral bind. This way if the manual gets lost or...

    Can anyone back up a M101?

    Not that hard, just have to go slow. The 101 and even more so the 1101 are a bit twitchy. You almost have to undo the turn before you see the trailer start to turn. Get a couple of cones or lightly set a couple of t-posts and practice in an open field. That way, you have no worries about...

    Anyone ever stripped the finish off an 1101/2?

    Might experiment with 1/16" plate and 3/4 or 1" angle. Weld the angle to the plate to form a triangle.

    Who is handling the general surplus now that GL is out?

    Depends. IP/GP probably had the big iron construction & farm stuff figured out. They knew about what it was going to sell for before they agreed to list it. And they could always tell a prospective seller that they didn't want that particular item. I doubt their govt. surplus contract allows...

    Way Ahead for Kansans to on road title MV stamped Off Road Use

    If you are willing to pay the KS sales tax, you probably could skip the 'different form' and get your trailer title. Most states honor tax paid in another state as part of a vehicle purchase-titling process. But they want proof you paid the tax in the other state and will still charge you the...

    Trailer Tongue Decal M116A3 USMC

    If you can't find the decal, maybe get a custom data plate that is a close match?

    Oklahoma Bill Introduced to Create Titling for HUMVEES

    Last committee vote was a FAIL recommendation. 18-18. Don't know for sure if that kills it or there is some process to move it to a full Senate vote. Or perhaps re-amend it and try again.

    M101A3 trailer, 5,000 lbs loaded. how much has anyone put on the trailler

    The only difference between the M1101 and M1102 is a data plate. The 1101 is plated as 3400lbs and the 1102 is plated as 4200. The plate received depended on the tow rating of the vehicle the trailer was ordered for. I know the axle on my 1101 is marked as a 4200lb axle. Don't know if the...

    Oklahoma Bill Introduced to Create Titling for HUMVEES

    This bill may have been filed to solve a problem that didn't exist. Without a specific ban on HMMWVs in statute, the Tax Commission was probably treating them like any other oddball vehicle. The Tax Commission wants to bring in revenue. Not issuing a tag/title doesn't fulfill that goal. On...

    Oklahoma Bill Introduced to Create Titling for HUMVEES

    No clue on Time of Manf vs Time of Titling. Quite possible the Senator making the amendment and those voting to pass it didn't know there would be a difference. Don't know why but this was in the Appropriations Sub Committee. Also unknown is if the "Certificate of Conversion" is an...

    Oklahoma Bill Introduced to Create Titling for HUMVEES

    Generator in a shipping container

    If you don't mind old school, find a old style mercury house thermostat and set it for the trip temp desired. Might have to tilt it a bit to shift the trip temp depending on trip point desired. Use it to switch on a buzzer either in your house or a loud one on the outside of the container. Of...

    M101A1 Floor Replacement

    Might check out 98G's ad in the Parts for Sale forum. For less then your $450 sandblasting quote, you could have a near new bed for a 105A2. Don't think is is a direct bolt up but much easier to mod something that has fresh metal.

    Oklahoma Bill Introduced to Create Titling for HUMVEES

    If I am reading the status of this correctly, it was amended to remove the no turnpikes restriction, passed the House and was sent to the Senate. Also heard on the TV news that there is a bill to raise the speed limit on some turnpikes to 80mph.

    M35 Batteries

    Do you have anything by the front battery that would cause a temp difference in the battery while parked? Block heater, heat lamp etc? Lead Acid batteries are fairly sensitive to temp differences from one part to another. If the top is warmer then the bottom, you can get internal self...

    What trailer is this? Generator?

    Found a possible sibling to yours. Did a search on M98400. Found this thread on a different forum. http://www.g503.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=83831&highlight= 4th pic has M98400 chalked on the tub. Not sure if related by type or who had it.
