The 12x6 fish plate will do little to prevent the stress from doing what it wants, it is NOT the load but simple rail movement, load does not help, there is a tremendous amount of stress/strain on the rails just going down the road let a lone off road, add any kind of load, things get worst...

From someone who done MANY frame repairs and mods, I would fish plate both the inside/outside of the rails, the longer the better, 6' with 3' on each side of the weld, if you can not get to the inside, go thicker on the outside, at least 1/2", the ends of the fish plate must be at a 45 deg. NOT...

In service well into the 50s, maybe even early 60s, the m123 replaced it and the prime mover m20, as a straight truck m20, when a m20 was pulling the 45t three axle full pull trailer, the combo was considered a m19 tank recovery unit.

The PCB is a military toy, I have operated MANY cranes that use the 855 block as well as other engines, NONE of these cranes had anything like the PCB, all they had was a master switch and a start button, very simple and about fool proof, now I must say that the NEW generation cranes have gone...

I CAN be if someone is a OBNOXIOUS DRUNK A$$ who thinks that they want everybody to KNOW that they ARE the LIFE OF the PARTY. other than that my EGO does NOT require a life of the party boost. PS, Since I do NOT or WANT to text, I do NOT know the text talk code, nor the proper text talk PC...

In reality, the 80,000 lbs was a guess working weight, in fact NOBODY KNOWS the MAX weight it can handle. The m26a1 came about because the m26 armored cab was so heavy on the front axle that it was breaking it do to the road bounce, SO someone realized that the m26 WAS NOT a front line tank...

YES, That is my issue.

That is ALL I use, never a problem , been used on a lot of tire removels/installs

Once I got mine, can not figure out how I EVER got by without it.

Anybody happen to have a extra not pretty one of these laying around, think of me your lovable KGR

From the title I thought you needed a wrecker to turn it over so you could lube the underside like the GIMP DOES.

Doubles/triples are actually different then straight semi trailer, when I took the test, the air brake/straight semi trailer parts were added to the test as per the lady behind the counter, all I can say is that right or wrong, this is the test I took. I asked about the semi trailer/AB thing...

Depends, FUEL for sure, then depends on mission, distance, time spent on mission, AND who it is, and a few other things, I never have made extra money on wrecker recoveries, It ALL goes in to the care and feeding of the 819, as far as driving recoveries, yes I make a bit of extra $, but driving...

Well as I read it I did, the lady behind the counter agreed, the air brake thing as well as the semi trailer, if I never get asked about either great, but if asked, I am covered, plus in some states, there is no question on needing or not, don't have = ticket, being I drive mostly big trucks...

I got my class E with the endorsement code to pull a semi trailer do to my fifth wheel, in GA. this endorsement is needed for any truck that has a 5th wheel because it is assumed that if you have a 5th wheel, you are going to use it, does not matter if you do or not, also got the air brake...

The ISSUE is not the instant heat but the lingering heat, as the center heats, the heat has NO WHERE to go but out, which will heat the air contracting the rim, with the volume of air in the tire, and the tire NOT in ground moving contract to suck the heat away, the air just keeps expanding...

NOT a GOOD IDEA, you could get yourself DEAD.

Lower the truck till just before ground contact, place a long enough 6x6 to go across the rim, lay it on the ground up against the rim, if to low, build up under the 6x6, then use your BFH, I mean BFH, a couple of good hits shall set her free.

If putting a hyd. winch on a 39/809 series 5t, I do NOT believe that there is room for the hyd. motor and the adapter to clear the front cross member.
