Wrecker is a "beaut", and so is the Beechcraft, nice!it has been a while since I have posted but my M816 wrecker is still being used in the cold weather at the end of the world. the Green Toy was handy in unloading the recovered beech 18 that we finally brought back tot he Kingdom after 4 years since we salvaged it.

yes 1100x20 are on the Green Ty but just no room for the tire chain between the tire and spring. it hard to say the bushing on the rearend might be worn out causing the rearend to be moving. or I have too big of tire chains. thanskI noticed you posted about changing the tires to fit chains on them.
FWIW, it should have 11.00-20 tires originally. And chains should fit them.
the beech 18 will be only for google earth to take pictures of as it flys over the Kingdom. the plane is in rough shape because it did a wheels up landing with a right engine fire. this cause the cock pit to burn. they stripped it and dragged it out on to the ice only to have it land beside the beech 18 I was looking for. I just salvaged the wrong one but this summer we will get the correct plane. the Green Toy might be going on a road trip. thanskWrecker is a "beaut", and so is the Beechcraft, nice!
Are you planning on making the Beechcraft airworthy again?!
I used to work with an air reservist (F4-Phantoms, Kansas Air National Guard).the beech 18 will be only for google earth to take pictures of as it flys over the Kingdom. the plane is in rough shape because it did a wheels up landing with a right engine fire. this cause the cock pit to burn. they stripped it and dragged it out on to the ice only to have it land beside the beech 18 I was looking for.

yes very true and can be compared to a married too if you can walk away after the DIEvorce, lol thanskI used to work with an air reservist (F4-Phantoms, Kansas Air National Guard).
I remember him tellimg me once that ANY landing you can walk away from is a good landing.
i see i have missed this posting due to being locked down at the end of the world.Do you still have your M816? I have almost the whole compliment of TOE in NOS. Do you need anything?
