Welcome welcome from another newbe.

I found a xm211 in a local junk yard two days ago. It's missing engine, trans, and outside rims in the duels, He wants $600 for it. Trying to get an idea what a ball park idea what the weight might be missing those parts so I can compare it to the price a scrap. I'm just thinking of this one...

Ya, they'd be fun all the way around

Has anyone looked into these, and has bought one??

Is there a waste gate on your engine??

Pull your air cleaner element out and then start it and see what it sounds like. If the filter is dirty or you have one that is a real fine micron the air flow is restricted. Turbo's need all the air you can put to them.

Thanks much, I'll take you up on that. :)

Before the computerized diesel's came along we always use to mix our drain oil from the oil change in our tractors and trucks. Think of it as a #3 diesel, thicker than #2, and yes, you will get more power doing that. I've also knows folks that pull into a station and acdiently put gas in their...

When watching a GL auction, do you refresh the page like you would ebay or gunbroker to keep track of an auction? Camp

Welcome from the UP. I have a neighbor that has a reese pintle I borrow when hauling trailers, and it seems to work regardless the size of the trailer. It has the 2 5/8" ball with the pintle clamp over the top. I have a dodge 3500 that I pull with. Now if you were hauling a loaded trailer

I'll put that on our calender. Hopefully 1st cutting hay will be done and we will be able to getaway. :)

Ya, I'll watch Sparta, thanks. Trucking isn't a problem either. I use to own trucks and drop decks up until about 6 years ago. We use to haul hay down to KY to the horse farms, and I still know of a coupla great guys that have drops or double drops I can call.

I have a real good friend of mine who farms just out side of Mayville, and I get to his place from time to time when getting seed or other supplies. We'd all love to get to a show some day, we'll have to check out the dates and put it on the calender.

Nope, but my wife is. Were both 4th generation Yoopers, but I'm french and irish.

Thanks much for the links. I was wondering about being able to pick up something from the guard bases up here. How often are they made available for auction? My brother in law is a command sargent major up here, and I asked him a while back about the MV's. He said that everything goes through...

Thanks much, appreciate that. I've been trying to read the posts that apply to the questions I have about buying through the auctions, so I don't repeat posts, but I've noticed that there are a lot of repeats and haven't seen anyone getting raked over for doing that. :D Camp

Nope, we don't own one yet. We farm for a living and our three boys, 12,15, and 17 have been collecting old military things. They love it and we've had some great projects that we've worked on. The older the better, they've learned so much of the history and its gave them a very positive...

Ya, winter settles in pretty early up here. I live on the Garden Peninsula, between Escanaba and Manistique Were what's know as the banna belt of the UP :)

The Garden Peninsula

Hello from a Yooper in Michigan. Looks like this site is a gold mine of information. Looking forward to learning from all the older posts on the site. Also going to try to do some buying on the GL auctions. Camp
