I havent driven it far yet but in my test drive around the section I was amazed how it accelerated. On the flip side it was basically stuck in 1 inch mud ontop of frozen ground. I locked the rear differentials and it still wouldnt go. I still want to buy a good parts truck and put the...
The last pic is the 3/4 drive ratchet(used to expand the body) with a 1 inch socket roll pinned on. I wonder what that cost the mil.gov when new.
In the body one of the lights has been taken out and it looks like it maybe shorted out a little. The pin in the rear door is to unbolt the...
I think of him a lot especially when reading from searches here. He had some much advice and always a good word for so many.
I cant wait to do a recovery with it.
Well it was a long recovery with a few bumps but my m915 is finally home.
It was dragged out of a snow pile at fort drum and as usual someone with forklifts and no regard for old trucks did some damage. The maxibrakes were bent up a little and air lines,tailights and wires smashed. I ended...
roger that, the m447 that I still have to get down to pick up had all new michelin 11/20 radials including spare. The only bad thing about picking up 3 m818s is it takes a looooong time to air up 33 tires using the truck air and no clamp on chucks, I have since converted all my truck hoses so...
I just got back from my trip to get my new M313 from FT Riley. On the way down I got passed by a cool 8x8 mv. I wasnt able to get much of a pic but I got the back of it accelerating away from me. I was pushing 56mph and they flew past with no probs. The trailer is nice with no real probs...
I bought 3 m818 5ton tractors in OCT or NOV in texarkana gl auction for $1200 per truck. They all run and I pulled two of them with one of them to denton, put two of them on a gl m872a3 and pulled it with the first one all the way to Nebraska. If you want one from gl, wait until a auction...
5k if complete??

I have a loading dock but couldnt get to the side of the trailer without driving into the ditch. Im going to cut the side of the ditch out square so I can acess it for future unloads.
Couldnt buy them if I didnt have a good use for them. Im thankful to have them. The 6x6 addiction started with me getting stuck about a year ago. I was putting our 6x2 grain truck away and got stuck in the driveway. The driveway was just a little muddy and I about floated the valves trying...
I went to KS last wednesday with my m818 and m872a3 to recover my new m1009 and two container chassis trailers. Got to meet MWMULES(Dave) and another mv enthusiast. GL just put up a loading dock so I was able to drive my m1009 right onto the m872. The gl guy used a forklift to put one of the...
Ill keep it in mind Reo. I am planning on going down there Wednesday to pick up my m1009 and the trailers. I think I will take a m818 and m872a3 and bring the container trailers, then go back and get the m313.
Im always amazed how much time it takes to get stuff checked over, I was there a couple weeks ago and actually looked at some of the stuff but not all of it.
