Welcome fellow Mountaineer!! My green pile rests at Walton, WV above Charleston. A deuce, 5 ton and various trailers are here so far. I watch the Ohio GL sales as across the mountains East is not a happy trip. Mark

Welcome from West Virginia . My toy is a M925a2 a 1984 Sandy the tan 5 ton with winch . Have fun. I suggest an oil analysis sample sent to a heavy equipment dealer Caterpillar ect, to check on engine status. Mark

I found a snake between two ten foot 1" boards and had a 8 pound sledge hammer. I took a full swing and split the top board end to end and made the snake mad. I would not recommend killing a snake with a sledge hammer but it can be done. Snake was kind of flat after treatment. Mark (i leave...

One idea would be to get a Summit Racing catalog and check out what is available. You would not believe how much difference a header muffler only 6 inches long open centered makes on a header dirt tract car. I have had good luck on trucks with straight through mufflers open centered which...

Your beef may be with your trucker who acted as your agent and let the Bozo load the truck that way. I picked up a m105 type trailer recently that was parked in by a GMC type mechanic truck that was locked up with no keys...... No problem Bozo the fork lift operator said as he picked...

Welcome to the site, watch the green disease as I have a deuce and a 5 ton setting on the farm with a generator and MKT field kitchen trailer to play with. You need to scrounge for a bed , check out adds in local trader papers, ask around with local truckers, school bus drivers in a rural area...

I was just giving a general HEADS UP that LMC may not be a good deal for standard parts when in my experience the were charging double the OEM price for a stock item. Just do not assume LMC is doing you a big favor without comparison shopping on the same item available elsewhere. On this...

Great idea and info........ But you should double check LMC REGULAR PARTS VS GENERAL MOTORS DEALER SOURCES as I checked some weatherstripping for a Chevy pick up door and the dealer price was 1/2 that of LMC. I know this relay set is a specialty part, but you can save money sometimes by...

Street legal would be a mechanical steering setup that survives a power steering failure. Driving a C-30 Chevy with hydro brakes and steering can make you grey headed real quick when the engine dies and you are fighting both the brake pedal and steering wheel at the same time. I am real fond of...

Your driver delivered the truck to the wrong address........ should have come to West Virginia HA HA. Our VFD had a M37 for years with winch which was as handy as pockets in bib overalls. Only problem you had to start toward the fire before it started to get there after the fire was put out...

Look at it the way I do when I share a gas engine or grist mill, old tractor or truck that I saved from the crusher and passed on to a new owner. REMEMBER YOUR OLD ITEM STARTS A BRAND NEW LIFE TO BE ENJOYED BY THE NEW OWNER WHO STARTS HIS MEMORIES WHEN HE PULLS OUT OF YOUR DRIVEWAY!!!! My son...

You seem to get MKT in three shapes BRAND NEW i have seen for $3500-4500 each sold to as high as $7,500.......BATTLE VETERANS SO SO CANVAS AND SOME STUFF $850-2000 each and then BARE BONES no usable canvas and missing lots of stuff $600-900. Most Gov Liquidation equipment is the best to...

The WWII Army deuce ducks aired down for sand conditions and they ran 20" rubber. I cannot recall the PSI exactly but 10-15 PSI rings a bell. They had a chart painted on the dash with the PSI for different conditions.

Bad condenser or dirty points will kill a magneto deader than a door nail. Get a points file, a sandpaper finger nail buffer stick or non silicon carbide sandpaper (black or grey silicon carbide paper leaves a film on electrical contacts) 220 or 300 grit and clean and shine up points and then...

I had almost the same load when I picked up my MKT trailer from a private lot. I towed the MKT trailer and saw in the weeds a 1 ton army trailer which I bought. I had a cab protector on my 10 foot flat bed and with the help of a forklift we loaded the extra trailer in the bed and chained it...

Looks like you have most of the equipment that comes with the trailers. The MBU burners burn diesel fuel and the electrical runs off the cables and the transformer box. The burners goes into the ovens for baking and the other units act as stove burners. The water cooler are for mixed drinks not...

Get a big size lens automatic hood and get a mig welder with the gas shielding. Get a good clean ground spot for the ground clamp and learn to watch the molten puddle form and move the stinger as needed. Get your head close enough to see what is going on but keep out of the fumes. On body metal...

You have me stumped as what you are up to? I built a SAR truck (some assembly required) 1946 International KB-5 chassis, body built from 2" pipe, dog kennel tubing, bed frame angle iron, garage door track and sheet metal from local auto body stamping plant. Flat head 6, 4 speed and 2 speed...

Looks like you MKT trailer is like a big Christmas package that you have partially unwrapped. My trailer was almost bare to start with but I have slowly gathered equipment from Ebay and GL purchases. I lucked out and got two range units brand new in boxes with all pots and hand tools in place...

Nice looking truck. It will be lots of fun to play with. I have a 1968 Deuce and a 1984 M925a2 5 ton . Two times the fun. Mark
