Ok, so the ASK housing does help reduce the noise to a more "tolerable" level then. Well that's good to know when looking at the auctions. But if nothing else, maybe I can build a "box" around it and do the similar thing. Just have to make it breathable enough to keep it cool though. I don't...

They seriously were stealing fuel from gas station tanks? How were they not seen? I know you said they were inside a trailer, but it seems that someone sitting off a bit could see under the trailer. I assume they did get caught, otherwise no one would have known how they were doing it right? I...

Kind of like how an non-submersible well pump works right? Hummm something to think about. Does that mean a pump that would normally not be able to lift from that depth, with the addition of a foot valve, it would then be capable of this? I'm guessing it would just take a while to prime right...

I wonder if there is anything to prevent a person from building a sound deadening box around one of these generators? If they weigh 300+ lbs, I would just have to mount it in the truck anyway. So I would think building a box around it, but of course having cutouts for access to the controls...

Well, I don't want a trickle, so I guess I need a flood. I would like to be able to do 250 Gallons in an Hour at least. Don't want to spend all day just filling up tanks. I figured from the GPM/H ratings I had seen on lower suctions lift pumps (like the 15ft lift), I thought if a pump was...

Well, I thought the MEP 016E was the one with the ASK sound deading case? But I guess it is MEP-016B?

Yes Exactly! It is a matter of physics, and yes its all to do with the suction lift. I can find a diesel pump pretty cheap, but to find one that can lift fuel from that distance has been the problem. I know I said 30ft, that is pretty much the maximum distance that I can see it being. But if I...

Hey Beerslayer! Thanks for the info [thumbzup] I'll pm Doc Farmall and ask him about the pumps. I'll look for the Yanmar generators too. That gives me a direction. I think I had seen one or two on there already, but wasn't too sure about them. Thanks!

Hey Tim! Thanks for the help offer and the new pics! Another Good Design I see! Self Contained too! Would that one, in it's "storage mode", still stack like a regular ammo can? In any case Good Job [thumbzup] Got one question: Is there an ammo can that is some where around 24" L x 12-16"W x...

Does This Exist? Trying to Find Diesel Fuel Transfer/Lift Pump & a Portable Generator Hi All! I've been looking on GL a while for a Diesel Fuel Transfer/Lift Pump and a portable generator. But they don't ever seem to list to much info about these items in the description. I have tried to take...

An Ingenious design! That is exactly the idea that I needed! I had been thinking about building a small wood burning stove. Taking flat steel, bending into box shape, closing of the ends, door, etc. But doing this way, with starting off with an Ammo Can, cuts most of the fabrication work down to...

Thanks for the info ColdWarrior! [thumbzup] I'll check it out now.

This may be answered already somewhere, I searched but didn't find anything. Anyway, I noticed today that most of the MV/Deuce auctions all ended at the same time today, no matter what location they were at. Does GL also post the new MV auctions on a specific day of the week as well? Or is it...

A lot of things to keep in mind when thinking about making a bid on any MV. Good Post [thumbzup]

Thanks Everyone for the quick replies! Didn't win the auction in Sparta WI... but I'm going to continue looking over the next few weeks. Also considering GL auction locations in KY and OH... if they turn up with anything of interest at least. Going to have to contact GL I guess and see if these...

Thanks for the Reply [thumbzup]!

GL in WI, KY, and OH - Do they allow you to drive off the lot? Hi All, Does anyone know if the GL location in Sparta Wisconsin allows you to drive a vehicle off the lot if you already have insurance? Or will they only allow you to load it up to take it out? If they won't allow me to drive it...

Hey all, I saw a truck the other day that I didn't know existed. It was the M36A3, this is the LWB (Long Wheel Base) version of the M35A3. Instead of a 12ft bed like on the M35, from what I have read the M36 has an 18ft bed. Does anyone know if the M36A3 is a rare variant? If so... How rare...

I have thought about buying private too. As a matter of fact, I just went and met a guy yesterday who has several that I was interested in. However, after considering the price, I'm still thinking about just trying to find a good one at the auction. I am mechanically inclined, so some...

Hey thanks for the info! [thumbzup] If I do decide to go ahead and bid on this one, I'll check with him first about what the shipping is going to cost. Yeah I know its not cheap to ship an MV, especially a deuce or something, due to their size. And just as you mentioned also, most shipping...
