Well after ditching my 6TL batteries for a new set of regular commercial batteries I recovered
my two trailers from FT Bliss yesterday. It was roughly 300 miles round trip in the M915A1 in 102 degree heat. Had to rig up tow lights as the brake lights were not working (not hooked up).
The starter on one of my M915A1 's just went out too. Has anyone had any luck rebuilding one?
Does anyone have a good used one or a N.o.s.????? Thanks!
Trailer recovery is pending EUC clearance.
The "White WG-42 tractor" in the picture was sold and replaced with an M915A1 Tractor
so I didn't have to worry bout painting it OD. Lol
The other COE tractors in that photo were also sold to make way for more OD Iron!
What an addiction!:beer:
I have afew more pics to post. looks like you M275 owners are drooling alittle. Lol
I was at Ft Bliss picking up my second M931 tractor when I noticed this trailer. The GL
rep let me couple the M931 to the trailer to see if there would be any issues with it towing this trailer ( as it does...
Does anyone know what model this semi trailer is? I recently won it on GL
at Ft Bliss. And the listing said model/mfg/year unknown. I did preview the trailer, but had limited time, so I could'nt search the entire trailer for a data
or mfg plate. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
I just wanted to take a moment and thank CSM Davis for helping all of us
OD addicts with all those trucks out there at Camp Shelby! Thanks Jeff!

Hey Matt,
That truck turned out absolutely beautiful. The sand paint just does not do justice
to these trucks! If you need more practice , my second M915A1 is begging for
3 color camo! LOL
I have two M915A1's and Love them! I would'nt even Mind a third one (in 3 Color Camo).
The local Indian Reservation has 10 of them and they pull belly dumps and 3 axle lowboys hauling equipment around with them. I like the road speed, the power and the Jake brake, also the sliding 5th wheel...
Just curious, but you said the truck had a full tank of fuel when you got it. Did you actually
look in the tank to verify it was full or is the fuel gauge just reading full? Saw a M931 that was doing the same thing, run about 5 min and quit. the fuel filter housing was nearly empty, and the guy...
Yeah, the Mack was real nice. It had the Mack ENDT865 V-8 Mack engine w Dynatard engine brake, Mack 5 spd Trans, and Mack rear. It was built in Hayward Calif. Alot of Aluminum components for lighter weight. I really did'nt want to sell her, but my friend is going to do a complete restoration...
Here is some pics of my old White Road Commander II, and my old Mack F795 Cab overs.
Just sold them to a friend in California who plans on restoring them. Oh by the way I sold
them to feed the OD FEVER!!!
Old Lincoln County Iron (Brandon) Carrizozo, NM
Would like to get together sometime and shoot the bull with other like minded OD fever suffers from NM!:beer:
