I got the three lots that were not all new tires, I guess about 70% were newish looking, but I only spent on the average $75 for six tires, still way better than any other deal I have seen around here by a long shot! I was expecting the other lots to go for less but they went to over $200...

I am high bidder on three lots of 11X20 ndts down in Texarkana, anyone else driving down that way through Arkansas? Could split some gas money? Out of the 18 tires looks like 12-13 are near new, plenty to reshoe the 5 ton and for $20 and change a piece hard to pass up. They had several lots...

RE: Welcome Jess/Lloyd: I am originally from the Greenville, MS area you should take a ride around the backroads in the Mississippi delta for old tractors. I haven't been out looking for several years but you could find old tractors, combinds and cotton pickers as well as MVs in the tree...

Welcome Jess welcome aboard, I tried to buy a Burma Jeep last year but no luck! Any photos of yours? James G.

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: Convoy Lights I would like to put a ring mount on my M543A2 would I use a M49? What is a ball park price for a complete unit? James G.

All, thanks for all the help, the M543A2 made the 1/4 mile trip to the Storage Area like a champ! Photos will follow: James G.

We have rigged up a large deep funnel with a long piece of 3/4 clear tubing. Feed the gear lube in from the bed and let gravity do the work. I hope we can get some angle on the t-case opening. It seems they have drained everything on the wrecker so we are getting some speed training on...

Sorry about the second post must have been a double tap? James G.

Where do you fill the transfer case on a 543A2 wrecker??? I hope it is not on top since I don't have the crane working yet! James G.

The Tyson Chicken folks have been good enough to let me use one of their truck pads to unload the wrecker but now I need to move it today, don't want to abuse a good thing I may need in the future! From all the comments, I am thinking of using GL-5, 80W-90 in everything that has been drained...

Well I have been out checking on all the fluids I will need, this is going to cost me at least $700 to refill everything. I need to check the differentials since they drained the power steering, I don't normally run into such dilligent application with most government salvage folks. James G...

What type of fluid do I use to get my power steering to work? The manual says I need 8.5 quarts of fluid but what kind? And it also mentions the steering gear box so 90 weight in it? James G.

RE: Re: M543A2 Winner On GL Wrecker is here! Would not start on the step bed, batteries were low so I headed to Wal Mart for $120 worth of batteries, which is a whole lot better than the $450 for a wrecker the trucker was advocating! Took about three tries with the fresh batteries to get her...

I thought any of the oils with the API rating were yellow metal friendly? James G.

RE: Re: M543A2 Winner On GL I don't intend paying him any more than agreed to. The truck is stripped of every thing not bolted down except the batteries and motor oil, all other fluids have been drained, there is no way it can weigh 40,000 lbs. James G.

He is saying the extra weight is putting him over his legal limit of 57K. James G.

My truck driver call he has a problem with the 543! He said his truck was acting pretty sluggish with the wrecker so he ran by some friendly scales, he says the wrecker is topping the scales at 40,000 lbs. I told him no way but his reply was the weigh ticket was right there in his hand! How...

I may have some first hand experience on making ruts when the wrecker shows up. he has a step bed with a dove tail, I will have one and one half to two feet to ramp up to allow the wrecker to drive off the trailer. I have some 6X8s I am thinking about cutting up for steps or he suggested just...

Wrecker was loaded today and is on the way, should be here Wed. or Thrusday. Driver was not too happy with GL they had estimated an hour to load him, he got there at 7:30am he left loaded at 11:30. James G.
