I hate to say this but all 5t wreckers REQUIRE that the main boom with extension be REMOVED from the truck according to the -20s and 34s, then proper blocking, also proper slinging and a helper is required, all of this is to prevent the bending of the extension piston, the LAST thing you want...

If I am counting right, you NOW have MORE vehicles then BEFORE you cut down your number of vehicles .

That sure looks like it is pushing the height limit., if the trailer has ramps just DRAG it off.

Howard, you going to WAY to much work, you ARE over thinking the issue. 1 -- dead mam one end to a UNMOVABLE dead man. 2 -- Attach a HEAVY chain to other end. 3 -- Attach the other end of chain to anther UNMOVABLE dead man, this could be a bunch of trucks sideways, or whatever. 4 -- Use TWO...

You ARE just getting OLD, you ONLY drove 1/3 of the NJ. to NE trip to NE., if you were a REAL driver, you would have driven the return trip like someone else did then drive BACK to NE..

So true, NOTHING like waiting to the Last minute to DEAL with the number two most important part of receiving a load. And another thought, he is receiving a 934a2 which is VERY HIGH, about the only trailer that can haul it is a low bed, if that is the case the truck can just be drug off the...

My idea to level the HMMWV is to park it on flat concrete, them run over it with BART (m1070a1w)a few times, when done the HUUWV will be level and also prove that a HUUWV is not the proper wheel chock for BART (Bad A$$ Recovery Truck)

Once you go 819, you will NEVER go back to a inferior wrecker, there are a lot of WANT TO BE wreckers but ONLY one tractor wrecker a real wrecker, the m246 and the m819 :driver: :-D :mrgreen: :goodjob: [thumbzup]

EASY job for a military wrecker, flat tires are no big deal, back up the lift wrecker right to th rear of the trailer, hook to the dead 934, using both rear lift brackets, lift, drive the loaded truck forward, as it pulls forward start to lower the dead 934 till the rear tires are on the ground...

You REALLY need to read the -10 tm (operators manual)for the truck, you WILL be amazed the neat stuff you WILL find in the -10, like HOW to OPERATE the WINCH.

What about POSTING pictures on site instead of a link, I sorta remember some thing in the RULES about that, if it is NOT important enough to post on site, why bother with a link.

The same frame used on both the m51 and m52, I am posting this so the newer MVers who do not know that much about the older 5ts can understand how a m52 could become a m51, we did this quite a bit in vn, we needed dumps a lot more then tractors, dollies were made from the rears off wrecked m51s...

Red your pto is different then the double (2 ptos in one case driven by a common shaft) pto on the older 5ts, sounds like some thing in the pto broke because something in the pump and or the dump control valve body broke, this caused the dropped shaft AND the pto damage, my guess would be a...

HOW do I get to the top mounting bolt on the starter to break the torque, I had to use a 2' cheater to break the torque on the lower 2, there is no way to do that for the top one, will a extension fit along the side of the solenoid and is there room to get a socket on the top bolt ????

ARE you sure that is ALL your putting in the window washer fluid bottle, I have been wondering for a while WHY your windows are STREAKED. :roll:

If you go for number 4 axle, mod a front axle so you have SELF STEERING like a tag axle mixer, this WILL prevent a LOT tire scrub on the three rear axles, use the springs and all and duel up number 4, though if number 4 is only used to pull your camper modded trailer, then singles would be fine...

The best would be the stretch to a 819 wheel base, the wheel base of a 819 is about 4.5' longer then the 816. I just thought of another option, find a m920 (should be cheaper then a 819), put the 816 bed on the 920, should still have room for the 5th wheel, by doing this you will gain speed...

This looks like a head game, I DO NOT play head games, that is for kids.You asked a question, I gave the answer, if YOU want to play head games, go play with someone else.

fm 20-22 (Vehicle Recovery Operations

As to the 36,000 lbs stuck deep in anything, according to fm 20-22 (Vehicle Recovery Operations), the needed pull is THREE TIMES the struck weight (108000 lbs ), now finding a 108000 lb dead man just may be a slight problem, also 20-22 states if possible, vehicle struck deep should have the...
