No problem. The moderators can move it for you, since it has nothing to do with a deuce. That 10 ton was on ebay recently. I have checked it out in person. Not a bad deal if you want a big truck.

Thanks for the correction on the M984. Did the M983 have the 3" king pin?

The more that turn their backs on the A3 the better. They are ugly, underperforming POS trucks. If everyone would just pass on these, I might get a few bought right!

RE: Re: RE: overloaded?? What trailers have the big pin? I know the M747 and M172 (reversible) have it, but does the M872? How do you pull a M872 trailer (assuming small pin) with the big pin trucks (M123, M911, M916, M984, etc.)?

Prices are coming down. I feel a tad sorry for the guy who paid $50K for one last year or so.

Re: RE: overloaded?? I love the pic and I'm not surprised at all with the load. I think the HEMTT has the same engine/powertrain as the HET. In a pinch, it might even be able to pull 500,000#. Air brakes on the towed load would help stop it. Notice that in the pic, the rig is a 54-wheeler!

Re: RE: overloaded?? I thought the M123 was setup for to pull trailers with the large kingpin. Can it handle the smaller/regular king pin or is some sort of adapter required?

2 sold yesterday for $10K+

This is not a closeup, but it is from the rear and you can see the light on.

Bidder 8500 sure does get a lot of stuff from GL. :lol:

I have been looking for M872 photos and can't seem to find too many on the internet. Anyone have a few they can share?

Thanks, David. I am now sold on the M872. I guess I better buy one and then maybe a M915 to go with it!

David- Are the sideboards wood or aluminum? Do you know if those removable container locks are a commercially available item or something specific to this trailer? How the heck did you get the M816 on/off the trailer?

Ace, I guess I know who to call if ever need a radiator! Thanks for posting.

I am looking into getting one of the M872 trailers. Does anyone have one? They are basically a 40 foot, 34 ton flatbed trailer with triple axles. Very stout, but what else would you expect from the military? There have been several sold on GL recently and I can't remember what they have been...

I use the standard chain that came with the 5 tons. I can't verify that my setup is "appropriate" or correct, but I believe it to be adequate and safe.

RE: Can someone please help me. You might find some answers in an old thread I started. Search for M816 vs M819 wrecker. That should answer your questions.

I called and ordered a cover from them this summer. No problems getting them on the phone, and the cover arrived in short order. It is was a smooth transaction.

I popped those outer tires off to be within legal 102" limit. I don't worry about that now and just run with the duals.

You could always use a M911 to tow the deuce as well. Here is what a deuce with 11R20 duals looks like behind one.
