The MK17 knuckle boom WORKS!!!

[M920]

I think I'm guna name it T-Rex....It certainly looks like a ancient reptile, when in use.....

I'm talking about the Mk17 PLS RBU, that I recently aquired for my Mini LVSR project.

I just optained a couple of quick connect hydraulic couplers from Parker hydraulic, to fit the ends already present on the RBU and some hydraulic hoses. I hooked it all up to the auxillary hydraulic ports on the back of my M916 and what excitment....IT ALL WORKS AWESOME....
Here are some pics from the pick-up of the Mk17, the trip home with some "loot"....and the crane in action....

Thanks Justin and Mark for all the help....

Soni, it sure looks like it found a good home. One thing I'm not understanding, with all the cool shat you have at your compound, you pick-up the drive shaft It was a real pleasure meeting and doing biz with you, look forward to our next path crossing!!

Did that 1 come with a Pintal hitch ?? Wow would love 1 for the m920 ! Last time I saw any for sale on the east was in FL.

 

[A/C Cages]

Where in FL? I have been looking forever for one.

There were at least 4 of them back in Nov. It was to far of a ride for a recovery at the time for me . they all looked pretty new but didn't have the pintal hitch. they had the a bolt-on flange instead.
