    Abandoned M135

    Most likely the GSA wrote it off or does not know it exists any more. Many items before computers were updated by the GSA in 1989 are not on their records any more.

    See I knew some one had a solution already. The KW part number for the kill Solenoid is 27119D410 from the 1975 parts manual. I have one on my M35 to provide an electric kill as my engine stop snapped and I did not have one.

    Photos Of XM211 Excavator

    These were photos of XM211 Excavator the first day I got it back in 2008 . It had been parked at a friends house for nearly 10 years. I was there when he bought it and it was sitting up to its axles in a farm field where it had been most likely for over 15 years. I liked the truck the first day...

    Abandoned M135

    Working with a state can get complicated. You might end up pulling a stunt we did ten years ago. We titled through a title company an abandoned truck that was on mining land. Once it was in our name we removed it, let them fight over a 50 year old vehicle. Its in your name and you posses it...

    M51A2 with LDT 465-1C engine

    The solvent he dumped in most likely ruined the injection head anyway. Swap out the section and hope for the best. Its a shame the TM section failed, it was a great resource.
