Welcome! I haven't had to purchase a replacement wire rope for my XM813 yet, but I did replace the (smaller) ones on my M37 and XM708 a few years back. Best deal for me at the time was to purchase a spool from McMaster Carr and have it shipped to me. Agri-Supply carries wire rope. Your local...

Tow my MKT85 behind my XM813 all the time. Heck, I took it from Raleigh, NC, to Haspin, IN, just last month without any problem. Pointed down a bit on the way out (pintle on the five ton is lower than on a duece), was straight and level on the trip back (finally got around to flipping the...

Shame that I am running up to the farm this weekend... otherwise, I'd go next weekend, do some work on the trails, join you folks for lunch, and head back for some more work... :) May still try to do this, just depends on how things work out this week at the farm, and next week at work...

Hmmm, I always wonder a bit about adds where the photos include those taken from on-line sources... Not saying the add isn't on the up and up, but I would want to take a good gander at it in person before I got excited... That said, since he says that he is not planning on selling it with a...

Welcome to the site. Good to see another person with a truck not that far away from me... :) Since you been mentioning off-roading, we're having a trailride/rally this Labor Day weekend at the other end of the VA mountains from you place (in Syria, VA). Info on that is located at...

The mailman was pretty fast this time... :) Got the form and the check sitting on the desk right now. Your's was the first form to arrive. Looking forward to seeing you, and the rest of the gang, in about a month... I'll be at the farm this weekend doing some trail maintenance...

I'm not in New England... but, I do have a M37 for sale that has a really nice body, runs, needs brakes, a new wiring harness, and seat cushions. Comes with a factory hard top (oval window CCKW style that has had the round window cut out and replaced by a big rectangular one by the previous...

The info page for the rally is located at: http://www.garbee.net/~cabell/gravesmountaintrailridesweb.html Included on the page is a link to allow for downloading a text version so that everyone can download and print a copy (for registration and/or reference). I still have to scan in some maps...

Great deal!!! You really did score... :) Make sure that you keep at least TWO of the fueling hoses. You can hook them up to each other and two is just the right length to get from the far burner to the fuel tank on a XM813 parked a few feet in front of the MKT... Sorry that I will...

I heard through the grapevine that he thinks that his MKT will make me jealous...BUT, mine has a beer powered peeler... :)

Ferro, I know that I can stuff the M274A5 (mule) with the wide tires, fenders, and electric start (and 4ws conversion) into the XM813 along with the food and other gear, but if you can fab up that MKTST for us to use, I could manage to stuff the M38 in... That way, we could have a little run...

I met up with Ferro at the junction of Interstates 74 and 77 near Mt. Airy, NC. We then rode up I-77 to Beckley, WV, where we met up with Maddawg... Maddawg drove down I-81 from his place and cut over on I-64... Thought about stopping by on the return trip when we passed the Hillsville...

Bjorn, I have a tire for you from Joe Trapp, just need to figure out when I can swing by your place to deliver it... Also, we are getting things ready for that 8x8 at the farm... Can't wait to see it running down the trials. :) Next year, you could just fall into the convoy to Haspin...

It's the rated cargo capacity off road... Generally speaking, the entire size is referred to by the capacity of the truck although the actual capacities of the cargo, dumps, shop vans, wreckers, etc. may vary a tad bit...

Welcome aboard! I have spent money in the shop you work in... :) Also within riding distance of you will be the VA trailrides/rally on Labor Day Weekend (Sept 3-8, 2009 in Syria, VA (thread is on here under the Steelsoldiers Rally section). Plenty of guys out your way with grean iron to talk...

Hey Nick: Send me (by PM), your shipping address so that I can send you my rusted out mule battery box for a pattern... I almost tripped over it the other day and thought of you... :) Great looking new project...

Mike, Ferro and I were starting with the LONG laundry list of stuff that we thought would be nice, and plan to whittle it down to size... :) We've also talked about mounting everything on my spare M1016 tag trailer... It looks like all three of us will be at the VA trailrides/rally, so we...

I had a truck recently in the yard (M109) that had velcro alongside the bed and fenders located (and sized) just right for placing the rectangular red/white reflectors specified by the FMVCSA for commercial trucks these days... I figured that somebody wanted to make the rig more visible when...

Mike, Ferro and I got to talking (a lot) while cooking at Haspin... He has an ice machine, and a 275gal tote for water. Add in some freezers, fridges, water heater, deep sinks, dry goods racks, etc... You know, everything that we wanted (including the sink) to go alongside the MKT when...

Got home at 10:45PM.... Smooth journey home for me (thanks to Maddawg308 and Ferroequinologist for convoying with me) except that I lost the taillights on both the truck and the MKT about thirty miles from home... Good thing that the convoy lights were on, nobody came near me on the...
