I ended up buying a NOS 18" one from Memphis Eq on Ebay for $150 and free shipping. The old one come off rather easy and the new one when on without a problem. Thank you all for your input.

The sun has got to mine and has broken to a thousand pieces. Any good leads to find a new/like new one?

You are on it Adrian. Same thing I had going on with an M936. Pulled the linkage pin form the foot pedal and worked it back and forth with copious amounts of panther piss (penetrating oil). No more high idle/sticking pedal. Good luck.

I should have been a little more clear that what I was referring to is the battery switch on the dash and not a separate battery disconnect.

I'm a proud new owner of M936A2 wrecker that has an electrical issue. The battery cutoff switch doesn't always cut off the battery. Sometimes you can start it in the off position. I'm assuming this is a faulty switch, but before I go after it I wanted to see if anyone has had a similar...

I just recently acquired an M1000 that is in transit to my yard. I did view the photos you posted with your M1000 "loaded". Very impressive.

Has anyone actually been charged storage fees? Having the same issues at Fort Hood and the site manager has been pretty accommodating for my shipper and even offered to allow pick up on "off" days.

Does anyone happen to know anything about changing out the 3.5" kingpin of the trailer to a 2"? I have noticed a few references on some of the equipment information, but can not find any specific reference in the TM. Any info would be appreciated.

I took out the M1070 for a cruise and my speedometer crapped out. I have the dual gauge dash cluster and have noticed that utilizes an electronic speedo. Does anyone have any experience with these or know where I can get my hands on a wire diagram so that I can check the connections? Any help...
