For those reading this, Ed was inspecting his hook up when we pulled into Norman. He left me with a lug wrench and bar and began his trip home. THANKS ED! I left you the message asking for advice about ½ hr after you left. When we got the truck working I went to call you again, but the...

I'm going to let bushman5000 tell the story, since it was his trip and he has the camera, but there is one item I would like to relate, well 2. Norman, OK is the 4th site I have picked up equipment at and once again I can say that the folks at the site are great!! It is a National Guard...

Re: RE: Ft. Sill Pickup; Need Help ' Can't disagree, but someone else's wallet was more in tune with the force than mine. I went into overtime bidding as the high bidder on both lots, but the M2's were the only ones I could hold on to. This was my 8th attempt. It worked out well, though...

i picked up an MKT-85 at Hill AFB a few weeks ago and it was complete, except for the heaters. Tomorrow morning I will be picking those up at Ft. Sill, OK. My canvas is rotten, though. Just handling it causes it to rip. There were 2 shovels, 2 rakes and 2 swing blades on the floor as well a...

A followup: We have it all worked out. The folks at Ft. Sill are Great! They tweaked their schedule to make it work for me. We'll pick them up in the morning on the way to Norman. I really like the face-to-face folks at the GL sites!

Interesting story for 2 reasons. First I will be picking up an M109A3 deuce at Norman tomorrow and second I am a former Grand Jct resident. I went through the 10th grade there, Emerson Elementry on Ute ave, Appleton Elementry on H Rd (I think), Grand Jct Jr. High, Orchard Mesa Jr High and...

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Can anyone help me with the history of m Arkansassoldier, Thank you for serving. A part of me really hurts when I read about casualties in Iraq. I think in many respects you guys have it worse than we did in Nam. When I was in the 1/11th Field Artillery a lot of our...

I won't say that this is just a game because I have a decent amount of $$ tied up in OD iron and its storage, but there are rules and I guarantee you that the guy who broke the rules will get whacked for it. GL has the authority of the Federal Govt. behind them. I've been beat out on equipment...

Re: Short TIme line The M715 had an overhead cam inline 6 that you couldn't keep on the road. When Uncle Sam geared up for Viet Nam they rebuilt a lot of M37s instead of sending over M715s. The problem with that idea was that they didn't support the M37 with parts and it has a nasty habit of...

RE: Re: RE: Hmmm,something fishy here My next-to-last EUC flew through (in relative terms). It included a scanned and blown up picture of my driver's license. I have moved since it was issued, so my address is different. I scanned and faxed them a copy of one of my utility bills. I also...

Re: The Move I thought they always gave you 14 days; maybe they made an exception because of the honey dew tank. If I was responsible for the government buying the M715 series with an engine that AM admitted was a mistake, I wouldn't advertise it.

My deuce did the same thing on the 500 mi. trip from Ft. Riley, KS to Denver, CO., including the clultch slipping. The next day after it cooled down (KS was 115 degrees!!) the clutch worked fine and I don't notice any more leaking, but I haven't been putting any serious miles on it, either. I...

How big is the bed on that? My wife said I will have to sleep in the next thing I buy.

Re: RE: Hmmm,something fishy here Do you suppose they want to drive them home? There's residue truck at Ft. Dix, NJ that I know was around once before: http://cgi.govliquidation.com/auction/view?auctionId=1835476&convertTo=USD I was watching vans about 8 months ago and saw it. Do you suppose...

Right now it's hung up in storage waiting on $$. I got the SF97 last week, but can't even afford the filing fee to get the title, much less insurance to get the registeration. The only noticable problems with the truck are related to its being 42 years old, such as rotten rubber around the...

RE: Re: How do you investigate this??? The "15 minute rule" says that bidding will be extended to 15 minutes after the last bid. I have seen bidding go more than an hour into overtime. That prevents someone from 'blind-siding' other bidders by counting down to the last few seconds and...

This is probably after the fact if I read your dates correctly, but here is the account of my adventures from Ft. Riley to Denver: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&p=139523&highlight=#139523 I took the back driveshaft out of the Bronco and it towed great, so...

Re: $ I know what you mean. On June 25, '07 I won the bid on my deuce; June 26 my job went to India! That's why I drove it home instead of having it shipped.

I guess I don't have to worry about that, then. I will be pulling my kitchen trailer and I'll keep all that in the back.

What is the yellow bottle on the firewall next to the steering column? I have seen it on numerous deuces on the GL auction site.
