I bought a battery charger and they want over 500 dollars to ship it, anybody headed there or in the area willing to help out a poor boy from Kansas? Says it weighs 70 pounds.

We unloaded a 934A2 this week, started it up and backed it off of the trailer. It runs good and sounds good..... The air tank drains were left open and do not seal, so the truck does not build air pressure. The brakes are caged however, so it rolls freely. When we backed it off of the trailer...

We picked up a nice M925 a couple of rounds ago and when it came in, in white letters it had/has motor painted on the driver's windshield. The oil was/is clean, the coolant nice and green with nothing floating in it or signs of oil. It fires right off and seems to run great, carries a little...

We have seen over 200 900 series trucks roll in and out of our yard now. Some were really rough, some were unusually nice. This one has brown in the paint and needs some attention, I unloaded it a few weeks ago and parked it among the deuces along the fence to keep it separate from the junkers...

We have a Cummins 400 that starts right up and makes no power. When the pedal is floored, the engine does not respond. After warming up for 15 to 20 minutes, it will accelerate, but very, very slowly. The truck will run 55, but it takes two or three miles to get there. I drove it about 100...

I had a couple of customers here a few days ago and I fired up the 57 via slave cable after checking the oil and coolant levels. It fired right up and started racing right away. I had a hard time getting it to shut down. Today it would not start, I pulled the cover off of the side of the...

This week's business had me making a short road trip yesterday. When the temperatures approached 110, I quit pulling parts and went to check on these trucks I heard about this week. The report of a deuce with winch had me rolling... I was hoping for a M35, but found a M135 and..... a.... I am...

I have purchased a 6bt in a 90 Dodge tug with attached 727 transmission. I originally planned to run the original 400 behind the Cummins. There is nothing wrong with the 727 and last week a fairly nice 86 Dodge half ton, V8 727 241 came to the yard as scrap. Now I am thinking it may be easier on...

Okay, the title says most of it. We had a huge surplus of G177s and I had some tired tires on a deuce. Now the surplus is eleven less and the deuce has new shoes. Those center pivot bolts are close! It drives and steers great, I thought I would notice a big power loss, but not as bad as I...

After work yesterday I swapped out batteries in a M923 and took it for a spin. Today I got a Michelin 1100 X 20 off of the M923 and replaced it with a Goodyear. That truck now has all Goodyears in great shape. I took the Michelin and mounted it on a deuce wheel, then put it on the truck's...

This week we had some nice M923 trucks come in. Today Builderboy stopped by for some goodies and spotted a wood crate in a nice sand truck. He obtained the proper tools from his pickup and we had a tailgate party! We also found a crate with a few troop seats in it...... I did not realize the...

I will get some photos, I had the truck placed in the south yard away from the loaders. It has some kind of one piece aftermarket front end that looks like an International grill. It is definitely military and weighs right at 23,000. I will look for data plates tomorrow. It has a tanker bed, the...

I should have shot video of the other side of the drive as well, we have iron, lots of iron, lots of classic iron. The price has been up and the weather nice. The area farmers have been harvesting a different crop. Seems like we got an unusually large number of Internationals. There is a load of...

The boys and I went out early this morning to drink tea with the liar's club. I left the boys in the pickup while I went in for tea. The rest of the club drinks coffee. We left there in the M1008 and went to the yard for the boys to burn off some energy. I was looking at the five tons that came...

As I was pulling into the lot this morning, there was a tractor stuck, trying to get up on the roadway. A few minutes later, he was on the way. The deuce never sweated a bit getting him moving. Then one of the guys buried a Manitou Forklift, it was a helpless critter in the loose sand and...

I may be in the wrong part of the forum. Here is the problem, I have about 30 trucks with fuel in them and am looking for a faster and cleaner way to recover the fuel without siphoning or pulling the plug. I would like to pump it up to a tote in the bed of my M1008 or one of my deuces. From...

I started my 1968 this morning, not much light to work with, 18 degrees, fired right off! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mT0PK-OD7fk

My old 1972 would fire easily in cold weather. When I sold it to another member and bought a different one, I just hoped it would do the same. While it never fires as fast as my 72 did, it is good about starting. It was slower this morning than it has been. I think part of it was the fuel being...

I stopped at the store for some groceries and a young man that appeared to be mid 70's approached me as I was loading groceries into the deuce. He wanted to know if I would start it for him before he left. Of course, I was glad to, he was obviously emotionally attached. I let him reflect in...

The title pretty much tells the story, headed out to grab some windshields and frames out of the five tons and an instrument cluster, some small parts and maybe siphon off some more fuel. Unlock the gates, pull inside and there was a flat hood and round green cab... are you kidding me? Somebody...
