Great for parts

Loads of good spares (expensive ones!) on that "543"!..You should get it. If you do, show us the "got it home" trip with pics. Good luck.

 

[joeM62]

Yes show pics please, by chance what is he asking for the old
girl if you don't mind telling us.

He is taking offers and will let the high offeror know Friday. No way to know what range to offer...

 

[EMD567]

I spoke with Ferro, and he needs contact info to make an offer.

In its current state it may be worth saving. May never drive again but you could plant it as is for a yard crane.

 

[Ferroequinologist]

It is mine, and it will be restored.

Clint, you're going to be the last Steel Soldier to get a wrecker....

It will be one **** of a recovery, when the guy says, "You'll need to bring a chainsaw"

 

[gimpyrobb]

Its not weather its an M62 or 542 or 816, its the fact that it was saved, good job O.P.!


If there were an argument, it would be Austin/western(m62) bed or Garwood(others) bed. Those are your choices.


Too bad Clinto, maybe you'll get a model wrecker for Christmas.

 

[patracy]

Why would you need a chainsaw? My 543 has pushed over a few trees around here...

 

[fuzzytoaster]

Huzza! Congrats Ferro.

 

[dmetalmiki]

If ferro has it

well done as said, post pics of the recovery of the (5!)...looking 4ward 2 seeing your progress...

Ferro's next thread title:

"How big of a tire can I put on a wrecker?"

 

[patracy]

16.00's, but I couldn't imagine a M543 any slower than they already are.

 

[Ferroequinologist]

I'm going down Tuesday to attempt to get it running. I will also plan my recovery from there.

More like "I just bought a wrecker, how do I check the brake fluid?"

lol

Don't worry, there will be tons of pictures and video uploaded, I promise. anyone in the area that wants to ride along or meet me there, shoot me a PM.

 

[doghead]

Just drive it home!

 

[Ferroequinologist]

Luckily there aren't any government warehouses around- I would make a much bigger hole with a wrecker....

 

[gimpyrobb]

I vote to flat tow with the M37.

 

[Ferroequinologist]

Haha! Maybe flat tow with the wrangler? I love being part of the problem, lol!

Clinto, can I borrow your Mule?

 

[gimpyrobb]

I thought Clinto removed the pintle hitch cause it wasn't "OEM"?
