    Need to trade my M817 for a small, working dozer/crawler

    I really, really, really hate to do this, but I need a small, working dozer/crawler much more than I need the dump truck right now. I just got several hundred yards of dirt put on my property, and I found out today that I wasn't supposed to bring in the dirt because I'm technically in the flood...

    My auction deal just got a whole lot better!!!

    Guys, You may remember my recent story of my M817 ("newbie got her home"). One item in that story was that the truck was advertised as a 1989. Not knowing anything about these vehicles, I assumed that to be correct. I purchased the truck in an online auction for $2,130, which most of you...

    Interesting Trailer and Dolly on eBay

    Not sure this is the right forum, but I couldn't determine which one would be right. Here's a 1959 5 ton 5th wheel trailer with a dolly in NW Arizona. Guy will even take payments. Less than 24 hours left. Too far away for me...

    M62 Wrecker on eBay

    Guys, I saw this on eBay. Seems like a pretty good deal to me. I'm fresh out of toy money though, but maybe one of you are ready for another project :D http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=270003608547

    Signature

    I've read the FAQ, and I can't get a signature on my posts. I have one in my profile, and I check the 'attach signature' check box when creating a post, but my signature does not show up. Any ideas or am I missing something?

    Heavy equipment trailer for my 5 ton

    I've been looking around for a heavy equipment trailer so I can move around my 20K lb backhoe with my M817 when I get them both fixed up (two unfinished projects). An M817 can tow 30K right (on the road)? Thought the following was interesting (but I don't think it would be street legal). It's...

    can old diesel be saved?

    The M817 I just bought came completely full of fuel (100+ gallons). I have no way of knowing how long the fuel has been there, but I would guess several years. I know that diesel attracts water. Is there any way of draining/straining/additive that will save it. Given today's fuel prices...

    newbie got her home!

    Hey Guys, I got her home today. I was definitely mislead on a few items by the auction company, but overall I think I'm happy. The not so good first: For one, they said it was a 1989 which seems too new to me. Turns out that it's a 1972. They also told me it was running when they took...

    Please help a newbie!

    I just bought the dump truck below from a city fleet auction, but I'm having trouble identifying it. It sure looks a lot like the vehicles on this site. Can anyone help with identification? It's supposed to be 1989, but I'm not sure. Thanks for any help?
