I was high bidder at 13 minutes on another MEP-003A 10kW generator. It had only 7 running hour and was trailer mounted... The it went over $3K in the next five minutes...

I wanted to buy a set of two 600 gallon tanks and the pump section. They went for over 2K! I thought about bidding on a M1008 or M1031 they went cheap! $1500-2K Should've.
It went at $3030.00... guess I could have gone there, but had set a limit of $2500 with premium.
All military trailers are pindle hitch. Many people refer to them as "military hitch"...
Concern? It's an auction, you take your chances. Most things if you are a little careful can be rebuilt / fixed if not running...
Now I'm looking at a SEE:
It is a Unimog, by Dailmer-Benz, converted by Freightliner for the US Military. SEE = Small Emplacement Excavator. The Army bought about 2500 of them back around 1986 to 1990... The truck is Mercedez, the backhoe is by Case Equipment and the loader is by another US company.
Yea, fine sand is a problem, but the worst is new bearings and rings thoughout...
Never saw one go... I've only followed the auction site for a couple of three years or so...
I'm guessing up to about $10K... don't know how high I'll go...
Mercedes engine, diesel, engine driven air compressor and hydraulic pump. If the standard impliments are on board it will have an air driven chain saw, air drive concrete buster and air drive rock/concrete drill. You can see the hoses in the pictures on a reel.
Normally on a hydraulic system the main wear parts are hoses and cylinder seals. Cylinder kits run $25 to $40 per cylinder, maybe a little more for really big cylinders, and last up to ten years under normal use. Hoses are build to order or repaired by a hydraulic shop.
The expensive part is rebuilding or replacing the hydraulic pump. My little terramite (24hp) backhoe is all hydraulic, wheel drives and all, so it is engine connected to pump with no transmition. A new pump for it is $600. A buddy replaced the hydraulic pump on a big Cat 235 excavator (track hoe with big V-8 Cat diesel) and it was nearly $10K.
They pulled the auction on the three Unimogs at Fort Polk...
