I repainted the outside bed only on all 4 sides with Rapco 686 tan replacement. It only took 4 cans. If you go with an off color, you would have to do the undercarriage though, and that is what would take the time and paint. Cost of paint was about $30. Time was about 45 minutes. Most of...

Fuel would be more expensive and you have more useage if you pull it on a trailer. You'd be lucky to get anything over 11mpg when towing a trailer. Then you have to go both ways. Most truckers want $3 per mile. You might want to be more specific on how you wanted to get it there. Driving is the...

If I remember correctly, it is 14'X8' It would fit on a M1061 trailer perfectly.

The GM wheels will make it easier to load and unload as well, but the cheapest and easiest way to handle it is to just buy this with a pintle/ball hitch for all your trailers... Ultra-Tow Pintle Receiver Adapter — 12in.L x 2in. Square Shank | Hitch Adapters | Northern Tool + Equipment

Dang Porky. You're right on with this one. This may mark the first time a second owner sale, after all the owner did to it, all the love he put in it, all the money, may make him a small profit, yet, be a better deal financially as well as mechanically for a new owner on a MV sale. Retailers...

From what I've seen in the southeast, outside of some Jacksonville super auctions with lots of inventory, About the cheapest you can get a deuce for anymore is $3K. Almost $5K with a winch. Going on $6K for a M35A3 now. Prices have really gone up in the last 2-3 months. Not so sure I would...

All those portable kitchens are just so cool! I wish I still had my farm. It would be great for a catfish cookout, or cutting up a Black Angus.

If I would have known yesterday, I could have gone today. Can't go tomorrow or Saturday. Regrets, but good luck. In any case, I would delay the payment, after contacting the seller and working it out with him, and make sure it is properly screened by a trusted individual, including paperwork...

You definitely want to elevate it with the hitch adjustment, at least a 10". A 2" ball pintle works fine. Xiongy, I have 3 M1101s and found the movement varies as far as force goes. On two, it is smoothe and fine, on a third, it is kinda like yours, stiff and sometimes, I need to jerk it with...

I'm anxious to see what you have. I've always thought how nice it would be to have an emergency air line from the back of my pickup with a controller for emergency stops. I imagine just about everyone here has pulled a M-105 at one point in time or another with a pickup, even though there are no...

Just so happened I measured the width of the M105 and M1101 about 30 minutes ago. The M105 was about 80" wide and the M1101 was 85". Not accounting for error in side misses. Anyway, the reason why is I have no cover for one of my M1101s, and two torn rear flaps off the M105 covers, that...

I am a self proclaimed MV trailer addict. I love them all. I've debated this same question with myself for quite a while now. Turns out, they are both my favorite trailer. There is nothing I would do to modify either, outside of adding 12vdc led lights for dual carrier capability. I can't...

I tried for them too at Robins. I just don't want to pay $600 after fees for a 3kw 30-40 years old, even if refurbished, and rusty tanks. I would love to have one though.

Probably one of the better and clearer ideas I've heard recently. It will always be a matter of interest to the community, and some consistancy in format and posting is a great idea. I love reading about others new treasures.

Yeah, I just noticed an increase and it can be annoying especially when overwriting others who are competing against them and topping them. It has not been a personal problem with any of my classifieds, but I see it as being a problem and might need addressing. Ron is new at this and has had...

Thanks Ron. By the same token, I have noticed an increase in self and friendly bumps to bring ads up to the top when only advertised for a week or two. This unnecessarily throws it back in the forums where we don't need to be reading the same ad over and over every week and would be considered...

Stuart, Just curious as to what size tires those are on the M989A1. Looks like a fine haul. Congratulations.

That's a good reason to use the CCA colume in lieu of the cranking amp column. It is usually rated at 0degrees F for cold cranking amps. I find the spec sheets on the 6TLs and 6TNs to be different for their respective battery set. I find datasheets on the 6TLs that say anywhere from 650CCA to...

Red tops are names used for a series of batteries with different capabilities and different design. People use the name interchangeably for all. For instance, there is a 6vdc optima red top and a 12vdc optima red top. They run from 600 cold cranking amps to 800 and 1000 cranking amps normal...
