I just bought a pintle hitch on a GSA sale and don't know what it fits. Its new, still in the crate and very heavy, probably over 100 pounds. Can anyone tell from the NSN what it is supposed to fit?? NSN 2540-00-877-7157. I did a search and all it will tell me is pintle hitch.
My buddy won one just like these from GL and brought it home yesterday. It shows ten hours on the meter but has no smoke stains or heat marks. Its new and been stored inside untill recently. It is missing the fuel tank. Price sticker is still on it. The Government paid just under $6000.00...
I just bought a 95 s-10 pick-up from GL with no SF97. I called my local tag office to inquire about getting a title. They gave me the number to the state DMV help line. The lady there said it was illegal to sell a vehicle newer than 86 without a title and someone should take legal action...
Hey Andy. sorry I did'nt get to answer your questions yesterday. I have not checked the milage on the 813. I don't drive it much. I've put more miles on it hauling melons this year than the whole two years i have had it. It has the cummins motor and will do 55 mph at 2100 RPM. The trans...
I bought a high priced one last time thinking it would be better. It may have some adjustment but it is set up to apply presure according to how hard the truck is breaking. If i brake the truck hard it displays higher numbers on the screen. If I apply the brakes gradually it shows lower...
GSA just sold a real nice M105 with new cover in Swainsboro lask week. Last time I checked which was close to closing time the bid was $325. Thats where I got mine for $365.00.
I don't like the brake controller I have now because it apllies the brakes gradually. At slow speeds the brakes are strong but at higher speeds you have to wait for them to apply. You really have to watch what is coming or you could get in a bind real quick.
This doesen't really fit here but since we are showing pictures of Dueces on trailers here goes. This is the Duece I sold RDixieMiller all loaded and ready to go. Notice all the antique tractor goodies loaded in, under and around the Duece that are going to a sale In Roberts hometown. Its on...
I just won a Chev S10 from GL today with no title and no SF97. I called my county tax office before hand and they had no answers for me but gave me the number of the Ga. State DMV help office. I explained the situation to her and she stated someone needed to take legal action against GL...
I think you did good. I paid $2500.00 for an older dump that did not run and thought I got a good deal. It was a simple fix and did not cost anything to get it going. Your engine should not have seized in five years unless it had other problems. Check all electrical componets first and if no...
I have the troop racks as well as bows and cover. I had them off and was sanding the truck to paint it. Its easier loading though with the low height so they don't have to throw them so high. Most melon field trucks have low sides like this. This load averaged 25.9 pounds per melon. I had a...
Its watermelon time in Ga!!!!! Got some pictures of the 813 being loaded for a 25 mile run to deliver 400 watermelons. Its two o'clock in the afternoon and 95 degrees HOT!!!!!. I had promised delivery by Three and my guys are working hard. One picture shows the driver, my foremans wife. The...
As I have mentioned one time before we had this happen on the farm. The cable broke and propeled the hook through front and back windshields on tractor and landed forty feet away. Missed my drivers head by six inches off to the side. One week ago I had a good fried injured in a winching...
While checking out my 543 wrecker and the 813 cargo to see if a PTO on ebay would fit I made a shocking discovery. The 813 is under a shelter where we are slowly sanding it for a paint job. When ckecking out the transfer case to see if the PTO would fit I noticed that the speedometer drive...
I am going to bid on it. Checked out my 543 wrecker today and compared it to my 813 cargo. I think it will fit. Might want to make it a dump one day. While laying on my back under the 813 I made a dicovery that I will tell about in another post in the 5 ton section.
