    What's high mileage for a M915A1

    The M915A1 I won in Topeka has 137,9xx miles on her. Some of the other trucks that sold there had a little over 200,000 showing. I looked at one that sold on GL recently that only had 258 miles showing (it had been reconditioned in mid 2007) that was a sharp truck!

    Topeka KS to Carrizozo NM, M915A1 Truck Tractor

    Hello, I am considering my options of having my M915A1 Truck Tractor hauled to me rather than picking it up. It is already off the the installation at a towing company, and storage fees are adding up. If I could possibly have it trucked in reasonably, I would prefer to go that route rather...

    Well, I cant get off from work to recover the M915A1, so I have a friend trying to see if he can find someone to recover the truck and store it for me until I can get out there to pick it up. It looks like I wont be able to go until the first part of January :-( Thank You to the members that...

    Lacrosse Semi Trailer Model DF 6T-33F?

    Well, I was thinking more along the lines of the 3 color camo paint scheme. It would then match my M915A1 Tractor. But it would look nice just in OD!

    M172A1 wood deck restoration...?

    Glad to hear that the trailer deal worked out good for you! Where I am at it seems these trailers are pretty scarce. I am actually talking to a fellow SS member about an M871 trailer and its over 500 miles from me!

    M172A1 wood deck restoration...?

    Was that the trailer that was on Ebay? I considered it if it was but I rather find one closer to me, and I like the M871 more.. I have heard that diesel or even used diesel oil works very well, but I haven't tried it myself.

    Added 12 volt lights to my M105

    Nice set up! Its kinda like some of the semi trailers having two lights systems for military or civilian tractors. Versatility! I'll probably do that with the two M101A1's I just won.

    2.5 ton wrecker?

    There is one here in New Mexico about 40 miles from me. Its still powered by the gas engine. Its painted white with a blue hard top if I remeber correctly I haven't seen it up close but it looks kinda rough. The owner wants 8500.00 for it, last time I talked to him anyway. He says everything...

    Photos of m915A1 hooked to an M871 Trailer???

    Is the one in the second photo you posted for sale? How much is it if it is? Does it have the side board kit? Are the tires radial or Bias and do they have good tread depth? Thanks!

    What are you asking for on your M871 And M872 trailers? What overall condition are they in? Thanks!

    Photos of m915A1 hooked to an M871 Trailer???

    Thanks for the pics! They all look great! I don't know if I really need to go on up to an M872. I think the M871 would do fine for my needs. How many M871's do you have? Do you have one for sale? Again Thanks! Brandon

    Photos of m915A1 hooked to an M871 Trailer???

    Gentlemen , Does anyone have a photo(s) of an M915A1 coupled to an M871 Flatbed trailer? The reason I ask is I am trying to convince my wife on how bad I need an M871 to pull behind My M915A1 Tractor. So far she just says you don't need that! I was in hopes a good photo(s) of the set up would...

    M52A2 and M871 trailer

    Thanks for the info! I probably would not even of thought about that! Does anyone have an extra TM for the M871 Trailers? I am looking to get an M871 variant to pull behind my M915A1 Tractor.

    m818 mack

    I missed a pair of M52A1 Tractors in New Mexico afew years back. They were used by loggers to pull chip trailers out of the forest so they didn't tear up their Peterbilt road tractors. They were in rough but restorable state. Also they had an M52A2. I was trying to work a deal on all three but...

    Headed to the store in afew minutes to do just that! Maybe I'll get just as lucky and win the jackpot. Then I'd have so much OD iron sitting around that I'd have my own motor pool! WOW!

    915A1 and M172A1 earning their keep

    I dont even remember what model of Cat it was for sure. I just happened to see it and photographed it. But I do believe that a JD 710 is bigger/heavier than the Cat in the photo.

    wow I got one (M915A1)

    Yea, I'm surprised they cleared so fast! The only thing I can figure is I already pass the Federal back ground check for my Haz-mat endorsment on my CDL, (I have heard that that don't make any difference, but maybe it did in my case). I dont know maybe I just got Lucky? Maybe I should go but...
