RE: Dolly Convertor Saga Continues This chassis is how I got it and is the most rust free vehicle I have gotten from DRMO. It has new composite lights and almost brand new tires all for $250 not including the fifth wheel but I plan on cleaning up the bottom of the fifth wheel frame and them...

RE: Update on the M 200A1 Dolly Converter The one you see on my tailgate is a manual slider and I paid $200 for it cash including tax from a good truck salvage yard. It had some rust underneath but is in good shape and is going on my M 200A1. I plan on finishing this soon and will continue to...

RE: fried coil I had a dodge dart with a 170 Slant six that stopped dead it had me foxed for a few hours till I checked there ground inside the distributor and it was not good. Fixed that with a new screw and some WD 40 and it ran for the rest of the time I drove it

I did not want any problems with this so we rented a skid steer loader and now have a driveway that is 8" thick with rebar and fiber re-enforced concrete. My only problem with it is that it was poured on the hottest day of the year and I needed one more hand for the bull float but other than a...

Updated Photos of the little crane that could These pictures were taken yesterday while loading a #1200 pound sliding fifth wheel onto my M 200A1 dolly convertor project

I tried to post these in a follow on update and could only get one photo in the post so here are the rest up to the present. We will be cleaning up the rust on the fifth wheel frame and adding some I beam support to the chassis along with some additional angle steel that will hold the fifth...

Update on the M 200A1 Dolly Converter This is an update on the Dolly that I am making from a commercial fifth wheel and an M 200A1 chassis I have tried to load other update pictures to this post and it is not allowing me to do this I will try to make a new post following this and see if they...

RE: Great deal on a back saver for your duece I am quite confident that the lifting ability and the hight would be able to lift a barrel if you use the combination of a come along or chain hoist as I have pictured. I have a drum and will test that and get a picture tomorrow. I am sorry that...

I paid a lot less for my great runner with tarp bows seats and heater and it was right down the road in St Julians. I fear this is a sign that money heavy folks are buying these to get axles for kids with rock crawlers. Keep you old iron it is going up in value. Have a blessed and Merry Christmas

OK I missed out on the M 818 due to one guy with very deep pockets. Do you think he will be trying to get trailers too? I am looking at going for one to tow with my duece using my yet to be built dolly converter. Do any of you plan on bidding on one of these? I usually bid a low bid on all...

RE: Google Ad Mike: I would have found Steel Soldiers long ago if there were Google adds back then so I say go for it almost everyone has Google as a favorite.

I recently picked up a pallet of tents and they were coded H7 but the turn in document from the unit is clearly marked code B by the inspector. The tents look almost new. I have also found brand new items in the lot that were not listed in the description and these I call bonus babies since I...

This is great news that so many of the members are inbound for Aberdeen unless the Army sends me away again I am countin on being there. I do wonder how you already know your spots since the sticky on Aberdeen is showing that spots are not available till January is that correct or can I nail...

I hate to sound careless but the shear pin on the duece shears way before the limits of the cable or winch are reached. I have confidence in the stain being shown on the rig when the operation is being conducted. I consider it a real danger to have the pin shear when I am winching since it...

I am up for a weekend of the trails and fellowship. We had a great time and it was the first time my sons girlfriend ever went off road and she was impressed. I will bring my duece if it is for a weekend I just need to find out a way to waterproof my commercial batteries. I was thinking about...

RE: Great deal on a back saver for your duece When I get home from work on Friday I will be using it to lift a sliding commercial fifth wheel up on to my M 200 A1 and I will take pictures of it and post them here. That fifth wheel is way more than my son and I can pick up and it will give it a...

The serviablility code is a DOD assigned code that shows it to be in economicly repairable condition and still used in the system F7 or not repairable for use in the system H7 I have seen this system assigned catagory vary considerably by inspector some H7 stuff will work right away some F7...

RE: Great deal on a back saver for your duece The questions are great and I will try to answer them as I know. It does not come with a come along although I have used cheap ones the chain hoist in the pictures cost a lot more than the crane. Whithout a come along or chain hoist the crane will...

RE: Great deal on a back saver for your duece I looked hard at that one too since Mike said he had one and liked it but I wanted a small out of the way one and the lift is fine when the boom is extended. A cheaper come along will work just as well as my chain hoist pictured above and the crane...

I have been looking for a lifting buddy since my boys are out more than home any more and I am over the hill of the half century mark so I have been considering a crane for some time. I saw this at Harbor Freight and when they were $99 I was hesitant in getting one. Their Christmas flyer came...
