    2600 miles, an m1009, an M35A2C, and an M989A1....

    I just arrived home from my latest ill conceived trip... I left out of Tucson last week in a tan M1009 loaded to the gills with everything from slave cables to an MRAP bumper. I made my way across I 10 to Baton Rouge uneventfully, leaving a trail of MV related items in my wake and putting...

    How to move mk48/16 RBU

    As new mk16. Here's what I'll have to work with: M923A2 M989A1 Worst case, I'll have the scrapper come with a flatbed and I'll pull the winch and whatever else presents itself as desirable parts and wave bye at the rest of it. Ideally I'd like a way to safely transport it, either whole or...

    Question about installing rear winch on 925

    Different pumps and PTOs on the wreckers... and there may be a reason they did it that way instead of just running a T on the lines. Perhaps obtaining some parts off a scrapped wrecker might be an optimal solution instead of reinventing the wheel. An added benefit would be the increased...

    M939 intermittent no-start?

    I've had NH250 that would lose prime and require considerable cranking after sitting. If it hadn't sat it would start within half a second. Is your IP leaking right around the accelerator pivot?

    Michigan Titling M923A2

    Postulating that your assertions are accurate, and i have no evidence to the contrary... Pay the fees and get the class A, issue resolved. Or cherry pick trucks that meet the antique requirements. Or do what Swiss did and push hard enough for long enough and get the laws changed. Or move...

    Michigan Titling M923A2

    Sounds like sour grapes.... My experience in AZ - title received from GL (not SF97), nothing at all sketchy about it. There were multiple insurance companies willing to insure it. Tagged noncommercial for $82 per year. I drive it to the steel store, I drive it to dinner at Olive Garden, I...

    Metal for patching an M101 tub?

    Cut a chunk out of one of the bad areas and measure the thickness. My best guess says it's going to be pretty close to 11ga.
