Deuce Hoist Units on GL

[rdixiemiller]

All
There are 6 "bomb hoists" on GL for mid November. 3 are at Rock Island Ill. They are complete, even to the medium towbar!
There are 3 of the frames as 1 lot at Anniston Al.

I want one really badly! I would like the complete unit, but I imagine it will bring more than I can afford, and it would be a long drive from Carrollton, Ga.
I will try really hard to get the lot from Anniston, even though I will have to scrounge a chain hoist and trolley set.
If I get the Anniston lot, I will have 2 extra units that will be for sale for 1/3 of the total lot price (SS Members only). If you are interested, let me know, and how much you are willing to go up to. That way I'll know how to bid.
If I can afford one of the Rock Island lots, is there anyone in the area who could pick it up for me and store it for a while?

Kenny, what have these things been selling for on GL? I saw one on E-bay a while back, complete, that went for less than $200.

i want one. i may have a connection in il.

 

[mcinfantry]

those are M715 tow bar ends!

 

[rdixiemiller]

Yeah. Imagine, a brand new hoist unit, with a brand new, complete, medium towbar.
Be still my beating heart.
Let's try not to bid against each other on these, there will probably be enough competition as there is.

Robert, call me when you can. Busier here than a 1 legged man in an A@# kicking contest. I know where one is not too far from ya!

This might work for somebody

That looks similar to the winch Rattlehead was trying to identify.

Anniston hoist

HI RD:
If you buy the lot in Anniston, I will take one. Up to $100.00 per unit work for you? Also only fair to pitch in on your trip expenses...

Anniston is only 65 miles for me, so, short trip. I just don't know what the lot will bring.

 

[JohnnyReb]

I am in there for one if you decide to bid.

BYW, I was going to get with you on the troop seats from the trucks I bought in Camilla. We were going to meet during my return trip. I made the trip while the forum was down, we couldn't hook up. However, it didn't make much difference because someone had "helped themselves" to the troop seats before I pick them up.(actually only one truck had the seats). I still have a beat up set off my dump if that is any help...

 

[rdixiemiller]

JR, I got a set already, when the forum went down I lost all my contacts! But thanks anyway!
I have you down for one if I get them I am willing to pay up to $200 for a good frame. I would like a complete unit, but I think the RI units will go higher than I can afford, with a 900 mile distance and all.

I'm not to far from Rock Island and I already have my neighbors thinking the army's moving. Funny thing is, there's an old Nike base right behind my sub-division.

Ugg, if I win one of those, I may get you to pick it up for me, if you can.

Ammunition hoist actually. Used by towed arty units. I looked at the units a couple months ago when I was at Rock Island to pickup a Dolly from DRMS. Unopened new crates at that time.

 

[OD_Coyote]

I would be interested in one as well if there is an economical way to ship it to Washington State.

 

[rdixiemiller]

Whew! Washington state is as far away as you can go and still be in CONUS!
We are all definately going to have to come up with a "coast to coast" network to get big stuff across country.

 

[FSBruva]

I concur... that should be it's own section.....

[OD_Coyote]

I like your idea of a coast to coast network. It seems like all the deuce items I want weigh over 300lbs and are east of the Rockies!

Guys.... what do you think the 'Transportation Needs' section is for???????????????

 

[rdixiemiller]

" Transportation needs" is a good section. This, however is a little different. What we need is a map showing all members, along with their vehicles. This way we could route things from one member to the other across country. If we all lived within 100 miles of another member, it would be a snap! As it is, I'll bet there are some 500 mile gaps out there. This would not be the quickest way to move things, but in the case of engines, ammo hoists, cabs, etc. It could be a good thing.
It would definately be a fun thing to do!
