I spent $250 for the M 200A1 and $200 for the fifth wheel, the two sons in the photos cost more than I can say and the steel was the tail end of a 27 foot trailer I built in Texas to move north at my wifes bidding. All in all it will be about $600 for the whole deal since I scavanged two double...
Kenny:
That is why when I take down a tree I leave a ten foot stump and hook onto the top of it. I have had my Cherokee chief in mid air between the back two tree brace and the stump but they come over quite nicely leaving a root ball exposed and a big hole
my guess on this is a bruise caused by hitting a rock or curb with a little speed. All it takes is a cord to be sheared to let air leak into the outer rubber of the tire. The good thing about a duece is the bud style wheel lets you single out that rear to keep the flat from burning up your...
RE: Tractors 5 ton plusssss
In reference to the M 915 with an air shift CAT transmission, expect much higher speeds than 75 since I once spent an entire day chasing my M 915's in North Dakota and Minnisota in my M 1009 doing 85 and not catching them until they reached a traffic jam. When the...
This is what the dolly will be towing Hoo Ahh
I won my bid for an M 127 A2C and the dolly will be going to pick it up in a couple of weeks I am blessed that 77008500 gave up and settled for the rest of the lots and I got this one.
Have a wonderful and blessed New Year
When I was a kid in the Midwest I owned a 1959 CJ3B and went four wheeling almost everyday many times driving to the Indiana dunes that were owned at the time by US steel and had evidence of dumping and other things taht would not be tollerated today but made it one of the best places to go in...
Thats a great price I will not be surprized it the GL 8500 guy snags it up cause he paid lots more for one on GL recently. If I was closer and not trying to buy property right now I would snag it
Wreckerman:
I may have been an M 354 two axle dolly convertor. If it was sand colored it was one we had in the First Cav in Desert Storm.
Jeli:
Thanks for the comment, The M200A1 is a good chassis as you said and if you get one as cheap as I did ( $250) you might be temped to make a custom...
RE: Finally got the dolly done except for paint
I wanted a 5 ton tractor like I had in the Army when I was a brand new lieutenant but the 8500 guy way out bid me on all of them. This is a suragate since I am also looking at a current M 127 that I hope to win today and pick up in January. The...
RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Interesting boom, M108?
At least he does have a make an offer button on the page. Chris, if you are looking for one and he sells it cheap enough for you let me know if you need help getting it home. I am not too far away just north of Baltimore with a duece that runs great.
RE: Finally got the dolly done except for paint
Thanks for the complement, I am going to tee the line on the dolly and also make up a double gladhand line to go from the duece to the semi and bypass the dolly brakes since I do not want them braking harder and jacknifing the rig. I will most...
Finally got the dolly done except for paint
My Son Noah and I took advantage of a nice day and my day off to finish the convertor and I am currently hoping to win a trailer that I will be hauling with this. It was fun to build and I think the longer trailer will acually be a better convertor...
RE: Update on the M 200A1 Dolly Converter
It is in fact an old manual slider I nearly fainted when I found it since I used to work as a truck mechanic on the B3 connector of the New York Thru way and had to fix several of them for drivers that came into the shop. I did some welding on the...
Clint:
I think you can use a standard electic crip strip pliers to crimp the ones I sent you. I do and just solder the joint after crimping and have never had a problem
With the likes of Pelosi coming to power we will have a problem getting even a fuel tank let alone an armored one. I think it would be great to have an armor section it just means having the land and friendly government along with your deep pockets to own one. That is one reason I stayed so...
If you consider the capabilities of your deuce and the fact that it is likely in an emergency or serious off roading that the location you are considering will be under water. See the pictures in the NJ trailride tread. When we first started putting APU's on the M 1 tanks they hung them off of...
RE: Updated Photos of the little crane that could
You will notice that the heavy pick warped the bed of the duece even with additional backing plates below the bed. I am going to straighten the bed and instal a bigger base plate on the crane. It was my fault for overloading it but I had to...
