We've got to get "portugal's" posting back on track.....I'm niot sure what happen to him and his updating, with words/pictures of his 200 MUTTS.....Several have asked questions about sales, what various types vehicles he acquired, etc, but I have not seen additional postings answering these questions. There are some questions that need answering prior to any exchange of funds, but as you all know, the gears of government grind slowly....and getting a response from them may take months.....time will tell I guess. So, my message to "portugal" is post a few more pictures and let us across the big pond know what your plans for the MUTTS might be.....!!

I'm sure Portugal is aware of what's going on. With the purchase and then movement of all those vehicles he's probably very busy right now. This thread went off track when everyone started making plans to buy mutts that were never declared for sale :roll: . Let Portugal decide how to dispose of his "new found treasure."

Now...back to the subject of hmmwvs......Only kidding :P

If you use a fork lift to move them you will bend both drive shafts for sure......

... and dent the sh*t out of the rockers. Many were moved this way in DRMO but that certainly doesn't make it a good practice. When DRMO was moving them this way it was because they were on death row :cry:

Portugal
So if you have had time to look over your "haul", which is the most common M151 variant in your fleet? In other words, which one do you have the most of?

M825?
M151A1C?
M151A2?
M151A1
Other*

* I remember you posted that there were no ambulance variants but in case I missed a particular model.

The drive shafts are up between the rails and should not get hit by the forks, unlike the CUCV's. Mine was bent real bad on my CUCV.

I have seen and replaced several driveshafts that were bent by a fork lift....if anyone intends to lift their mutt with one beware! HTN
