The MEP-002A was called into duty during and after a Historic wind and wildfire breakout in Oklahoma a few days ago. Towns evacuated, Hundreds of homes burned, tens of thousands of acres burned and thousands without power. Over 150 wildfires. (Edit: 4 killed ---I found out this morning watching...

Picked up two diesel engines today. One was a HMMWV 6.5NA and a rather large and heavy Mercedes-Benz M906LA diesel engine. Both are in their military shipping containers. Question is…….What in the world did the military use this Mercedes engine for? I have struck out using the NSN. I think it’s...

Picked these up last Friday. They were almost given away. Been wanting one of these for a while. Perfect for Ranch work Two are 100% complete, minus one bearing cap, and one MC-2A is missing the fuel solenoid and one air dryer plus the reel air hose. The 7MC-2A will be brought back to life as...

Picked up a 1990 MEP-002A this past week from GSA. It’s mounted on a M116A2 trailer. No clue yet if it runs or makes power but should know by next week. Fuel system is a disaster but fixable. Still have to check the IP. Generator will stay mounted on trailer Plan is to fabricate a solid...

Since these stencil machines are used at all military repair facilities, I think this probably qualifies being in this forum. Picked up locally a Marsh “Model R” 1” Stencil Machine. Deal included a 50lb case of Marsh oil board for stencil use. Been wanting one of these for years but I refused...

Last month I picked up an almost brand new M17A3 Decontamination Kit. 2.6 hours on meter. Kit is complete and includes a big collapsible fabric water tank and also a diesel powered water pump. Accessories locker was still banded and locked from factory. I bought it to flip but are these worth...

I picked up two Chevy rims for a M101A2 trailer. They’re white in the front and looks like coated steel in the back. The coating almost seems like a porcelain finish and is very hard. Definitely not powder coated. Seems to chip rather than scratch. Question is, How do I get paint to stick to it...

Won a M101A2 last week from GP. Picked it up Wednesday in Texas and trailered it the 3+ hours home. Was even considering just driving down and pulling trailer home. Glad I didn’t Bearings were quite dry. GAA grease on one side, Red grease on the other. You can plainly see the rollers on both...

I have hit a search wall. I am replacing the seals and bearings on the O2 trailer I recently recovered. Have found all the parts: Bearings/Races, new nut, caps, etc EXCEPT the grease seal!! This generic wheel is used on everything from hydraulic test stand to air compressors to warehouse...

Picked up this potable water pump this week. Brand new and looks to only have been started for acceptance. They didn’t even paint Unit numbers on this. Just a pump number tape that easily came off. The 1 1/2” galvanized pipe is included in the shipping crate from factory and was installed and...

Just over a week ago, Western and Central Oklahoma had a historic early season ice storm that crippled parts of the state. Some areas received 4” of ice. Hundreds of thousands of people without power and at or below freezing temperatures for days. Most of foliage still on trees was biggest...

I was originally going to turn this into a fuel tank trailer but since most of it is aluminum, I would have to almost destroy it to do that The frame is partially aluminum also and it’s impossible to simply remove a few bolts and lift off the top portion. The aluminum fabrication is extremely...

Recovered the water buffalo yesterday. The chassis plate shows it started life as an M149, then later updated to the A1 version. Still researching the differences. At some point, the A2 stainless steel tank was installed and that tag says 1987. Unknown if it’s a manufactured date or installed...

So unless your close to Nevada, Pennsylvania or Georgia for the main supply of auction items, your simply out of luck. ......Unless you want to drive for hours and hours or pay very expensive shipping/transportation prices. I know that items are sometimes in other states, but the bulk is at...

I was recently given a 24V aircraft battery charger. It’s an older one but in excellent condition. A switch can change it from just powering the aircraft to 50A battery charging mode. It is an automatic charging system and not just a straight charger. Is 50A too much for a stock NATO system...

It seems like, to me, I drive my M1008A1 a lot. In it everyday when I’m not flying. Ranch work, errands, occasionally driving to work, etc. But I’m only averaging just over 5300 miles per year. Have had truck just over 3 years now. Truck is great and wife and I take it for an occasional...

Have S-280 Shelter and cannot receive either cellular or radio signals once inside and door closed. There are several devices available commercially that are advertised to bring the signals inside, but have read most are so so at best. A friend spent over $500 on one model and he said it...

Had storms roll through last night. Nasty gust front with winds up to 90mph Overturned Semis on Interstate, trees down, power lines down etc. Fired up the Unicor NF2D Light tower. The Kubota engine and Kohler 7k Generator performed flawlessly. Fairly quiet too. Ran like a champ in the...

Looks like this M1009 CUCV is still being actively used.
