standard procedure is to go through the drms.anyone can purchase,all combat vehicles must be demilled of course.Several depots all around the world where excess equipment is sold.Do a search on net.Ive bought several things in years past,but make sure you check descritions and understand the rules before you bid.its nearly all done on computer now.Normal procedure is to put equipment up for reuse to other gov agencies,if not needed its sold as excess to the general public.This is feds of course( thats a small part of what i do here) state govs and agencies generally have their own auctions advertised locally.Once you buy you have so long to remove stuff,at your own expense.theoretically every nut and bolt is accounted for..theoretically...you can make a lot of money off this stuff,but you better have a way of moving it once you purchase.Make sure pay attention to where it is also.a cheap whaleboat,airplane ,tractor,or truck may not be such a bargain if your in utah and its in guam!!!True story,young lady here was in charge of our vehicles,all products are assigned in the gov a nsn so she wrote down the number of new truck we needed but got one number wrong.A young army supply officer in egypt just happened to call,to say a russian t-34 tank was being loaded on a ship and give us a delivery date,but he was curious as to why we needed one!needless to say she cancelled that order...one other thing ,,make sure you check QUANTITY!!! (the issue amount).lots of things can be priced each,and you buy 10 and get 10 cases. In other words check carefully and know what your doing.if you have a question call the poc BEFORE hand.you can make a LOT of money doing this,but make SURE you understand it first,pay special attention to place,poc,amounts of issue ,and study the condition codes for sure if your buying for re-sale,and not scrap.

The discussion started out with the following post: "Winter is fast approaching..for a gas tractor should the gas tank be drained and run the engine til the carb is dry or do the gas stabilizer products I've heard of work?
