Had a weird one today. I've had this M929A2 dump truck for a few years now. It's had a set of Hawker 6TL military batteries dated '05. They finally quit holding a charge long term about a year ago, but with how much the truck sits I couldn't justify new batteries. After being gone out of...

The 939s are arguably more comfortable and easier to drive, but the 809s are just pure vintage truck! The cab is arguably a phone booth.

M1070s?

Glad to hear you're making progress!

Rescue her!

I'll nominate my M929A2

This thing popped onto my radar again a couple weeks ago. I will keep you all posted.

Funny, having lived 30 minutes from Green Valley I know exactly how far of a drive it is from that area to MME!

I've got Hawker AGM 6TLs in my M929A2 dump truck that appear to have been in there since 2005. At almost 20 years old, they are finally beginning to show their age.

I have partial residency in Central IL, so it'd be almost-local to me.

Any Alaskan members interested in a meet and greet (or full on rally) somewhere in this massive state? 19Kilo and I have been muttering about this for only half a decade now. Maybe in Denali National Park- once the fires are out of course? That would be an easy day trip for people in both...

Any good ones in Pennsylvania?

I usually drive there from Illinois, but I'm working in Alaska this summer/fall. Any Intel on flying into Washington, DC?

Dawned on me I've had this thing a year as of yesterday. Wrecker ownership is, objectively speaking, a major life milestone.

Following... The slightly longer wheel base of the 923/925 could potentially yield itself to somewhat more yardage than the 929, which might work well for lightweight yet bulky materials (think: wood chips)...

Guess I forgot to keep this updated. Got the rear PTO going awhile back. Started greasing things with the (probably original issue to the truck, dated 1991!) tubes of nasty GAA animal fat grease. That was fun at 40* in the dark between second-shift tow truck dispatches. One blazing hot day...

Made a quick day trip of it this year.

Fired up my M929A2 tonight after she had been sitting for a month. The 19 year old batteries are finally about done for.
