Surely he had the basic tools...:-P

On the missing whiffle pins- I talked to a guy that ran a wrecker at Ft Leonard Wood back in the day. He said they did a lot of lifted towing and never used the whiffletrees. They just ran chain between the two bumper shackles and hooked to that. I tend to believe this was a common practice...

No bobbed 915 here! She is almost perfect the way she is... Pic 2 is the spare off the truck. Is there a description for the correct 915 wheel?

I have a well worn rear outer tire, and a brand new spare- so I think - easy to change them out. And they sure are easy to get off- the problem came about when I tried to mount the spare- the holes are too small. Here is a pic- I think you can see the smaller holes. They just fit over the budd...

Nope. 14.5's But 1400's are common on bobbers

Not to be negative to the OP but you guys need to think thru these recoveries better. Better luck next time:deadhorse:

Stuck brakes- better part it out!

Guffer was having a good recovery- talked to him Thursday shortly after he picked it up. Hope to hear that he made it home ok. I was recovering a 915 at the same time in Nellis and made it home that same day.

Take a look at all the used parts places for big trucks. I just googled 'used semi truck parts' and got back 87 trillion links. You can buy about anything off these trucks. sample pic

Tell them to call you when the executor of the estate has finalized the title issue and has it in their hand. Are you in a big hurry? This isn't a medical emergency (HA- most of us here have mental illness when it comes to military vehicles...)

Hold on- I'm typing this is in the dark on a manual typewriter- because Edison didn't invent the light bulb and Steve Jobs dropped the Apple PC idea- due to liability worries. NOT! There have been naysayers for every good idea I've ever had. If I listened to them I would still be milking...

Hmmm--- so all the 1000's of M939A1'a and A2's with 1400 tires, as issued by US, are what?

Hookers 'R' Us Great photo. Needs no caption!

I'm packed and ready to head out- but wait- I don't know where to go?:?: Does sound like fun.

Great project and report. Keep the pictures coming. The 936 crowd has some new guys stepping in.

I have to laugh- 4 threads on this subject! Some would ask- what IS the subject. Simple- GL drops EUC requirements (on 939 series anyway). Easy button...

I love passing thru the Fillmore Beaver area...

Great recovery story and pictures. I hope to see both those trucks in person before too long. Glad to hear you got both trucks safely home!

Great news on the truck. That was sure a nice batch of trucks- glad so many SS got their hands on them. Now let us know how the crane works!

I'v heard the govt is looking into nitrogen for their new series of auto inflators. Would love to have that contract... refilling low tires with bottled nitrogen.
