Was there something special under that cargo bed cover?
I've got two that I'd sell for less than that.....
Finally found a M4K Case forklift - and it was just 10 miles from home.
Runs great. Hour meter indicates 217 but it looks like it was used more than that based on the wear and tires. Looks like most of the grease fittings were regularly greased - I greased everything I could find on it and...
Bought a 1987 Case military m1394 tractor yesterday at local auction. Great shape with only about 500 hours.
Also bought a military welding/air compressor trailer.
Need a manual for the tractor - if anyone has one please PM me.
Working the m108 light crane today. Replaced the condensor, emeried down the points to get the spark back. Ran great, then when I went to restart it again... Bang and a big cloud of smoke. Thought I caught the engine on fire so grabbed the extinguisher.
This is what I found...
Tri-Ex model AB-1309 portable radio tower
OK I actually bought two of them... both have two mep3 Gen sets each.
Anyone ever set one up?
Pics to follow.
Was at a auction today where a Navy Freightliner FLD120 was sold.
Cummins diesel, converted to all wheel drive.
Low miles -- only 19K.
Wet line.
Nice truck - didn't buy it! But did get a military trailer with 36' CONEX box.
Anyone know the top speed of a stock M818 with 1100x20 tires? Not winding it out, but a "comfortable" highway speed. I know the word "comfortable" probably shouldn't be used to describe their highway performance!
Also, what's the typical MPG on diesel fuel ?
Just got my truck back from JATONKA. I had him mount up a 4 way plow, convert it to a dump bed, and install his awesome spin on oil filters. That's JATONKA in the first picture, and me in the second.
He did a great job!!! The pictures tell the story. I don't have a picture of the bed all the...
I picked up some 1200R20 tires for my singled out deuce that are mounted on 8 lug combat rims. They also have a rubber run flat donut in them.
Anyone know what they were originally from?
Boy are they HEAVY !
Just getting the trucks ready for parades tomorrow.
I will end up towing the howitzer in the parade but the Long Tom will go behind a M4 High Speed tractor for the parade route.
Neither gun is mine but they sure are purdy!
We decended on the old M812 bridge truck like vultures on road kill.
Between my friends and I, we were able to get the cab, fenders, radiator, front wheel spacers, and a few other small parts. The PTO from the transmission was already gone.
I had bid on it at a local auction but the...
Just bought a M764 Earth boring machine and polesetter truck today.
Has Non-turbo multifuel engine, all the augers, and needs a new softtop.
Looking forward to getting it home and then having my good friend and deuce know-it-all JATONKA show me how to work it ( so I dont hurt the truck or...
Just got this email from GL:
Anyone know what's going on?
The approval that you received regarding Event 5132 Lot xxxx was given in error. This vehicle has not been cleared by the TSC and you will not be able to remove this property. Once an approval has been authorized by Trade Security...
Getting ready to send a XM689 dolly to the melting pot.
Anyone need any parts before it gets scrapped?
Might be able to get parts to Aberdeen event for pickup.
Was just working on one of my deuces and came across this label on the drivers door. Looks like this truck saw some sand overseas...

I cant quite read the name on the drivers door - I think it is SGT MOREN
I wonder if this truck is a...
Here's a video of some of their hardware.
