Fresh in off the boat from Australia via CA. Cast ground anchors, pins and shackles. Need to locate 6 more shackles to complete these 5 sets, then get the remaining 3 sets that I have located in the UK shipped over. Not exactly a "5 Ton Mod" as all RAEME M816's carried 8 sets of ground...

Are you trying to replace the bar grips with different - or to get new bar grips? New 900 16's are available - same size as Dodge command car, weapons carrier and 6x6.

Nice to see another 101 owner State Side! FYI: FFW is Fitted For Winch and can be either voltage. FFR is Fitted For Radio and therefore has to be 24 V. RAF - is the rear body a Marshalls remanufactured one or a Land Rover one? Lots of the later RAF ones were rebodied having been ambulances...

There was one that just landed in CA, had a few of my bits squeezed in but I will looking for another opportunity down the road, so keep us all posted. I'll check the other end for you too.

... AND for suspended towing (could be considered "transport" I guess) - that's why they are adjustable in height. They stop forced swing on corners and shock load on the boom cyls when recovery off road etc. Testing procedure is :- allowable creep (ie., hyd fluid lost past cyl/valve seals)...

In the NE they are referred to as Jersey or Mafia blocks. These are often made by ready mixed concrete suppliers who have molds set ready for when mixer trucks go back to the plant with a little "left over" or surplus - contractors will often over measure since running short is a really bad...

Glad someone is keeping busy!! How are those fingers Swiss - suitably "saved"... I think that was what Ron called them - finger savers!!

More mods and fixes. Fender cracks, hitch spring washer, tethered reverse pin.... Had the fenders off so that I can space them away from the frame - needed an extra 1/8" to get the compressor base in between them. Tad of an interference fit. Spacing the fenders out 1/8" will also save the...

Welcome from fellow "upstater".... N of Cooperstown.

I have a couple of 20 ton bottle jacks spare ( they are BII for an M916) and are US made.

Like the idea, looks very "bumpery", but prime for jeans taring ! Are you gonna "end cap" the I beam either side? (will need a drain hole in the web too! )

Cat walks were not a "factory" item - so not in any TM. May have been a base mod or civi addition? Do you have a history of it? A few wrecker owners have fab'd them. (I have never had an issue accessing a standard crane cupola - just be careful with greasy/muddy boots.) CSMDavis may have a...

About time you added the 870 to your sig line!!

In. and thanks.

https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/m116a3-fix-up-conversion-thread.188781/page-4 Thanks. Have written on there about a post that I may be able to assist with.

Colt - I just found this thread. I had to rebuild the rear support leg on my M116A3 - don't see a big issue in cutting it down for the smaller tyres. All I'd do is punch out the roll pin, separate the two halves, cut off enough to make it the right height for you. Re drill new roll pin hole...

I did similar with mine :- https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/ground-anchors-for-winching.108345/page-4 post #77 This type off anchor ("Scotches") are much lighter to handle and they have a lot of positive down pressure where the standard wrecker ground spades have to be dug in and only...

This the bare bones design for my fly jib - good enough for roof trusses. - Length of fly jib, height of goal post and lengths of tethers should be proportional to your needs. I can measure my pieces later if that will help. Try a search in wrecker mods for fly jib - I think I did a similar...

I'd be interested to hear what controls you have that aren't in the TM's!!!

Yup - I did it for my M816 so I could place timber roof trusses over the "House Of Wrecker" (The "Cottage Name" slate my wife got me for a present) as I built a lean-too which was then where I am tearing it down for restoration. Don't know I still have any pics - previous lap top crashed...
