Hate to be the grammar police - but it's actually a "Dragon Wagon". There is a vet in town who drove the armoured one in WWII and a friend in the UK has one - with trailer. There was a thread some years back with pics of the one that NASA had.

Gimp - this link comes right back to this post....?

I thought that "Alvis has left the building".

Well - if people want to poo poo your "solution" or your engineering skills - it's their problem! Good job. A lot of my posts include going beyond the TM's to maybe help others when I find an issue. Isn't there a vent on those tanks? I am sure that the design specs for the vehicle included...

It's also against the "Flag Code" to let it touch anything else other than the pole - so the boom needs to be avoided too.

Next step - isolate brake light switch from turn switch, run dedicated turn wires from front amber lamps to new rear amber lamps and a seperate but combined brake to factory red lamps. Blackout remains as original.....

Just didn't go far enough did I!!!! Cheers Pat.

Can anyone short cut my search for the circuit diagram covering the M816? I briefly searched this forum also thumbed through the Maintenance manual..... Thanks - Howard

So does this mean that all the info/locations previously posted, will now be available through the 3rd party out in the inter webs, without S/S sayso?

Not sure if this is anything to do with upgrade - but below the banner:- The threads below have not been updated since your last visit but still contain unread posts. .... I am now seeing all the posts are the same/style font as above - where before the 'below' ones (already read) were in...

CB - doesn't the king-pin "float" or at least come out so that it doesn't get buried in the dirt/damaged by blacktop-hard surfaced roads when lowering the gooseneck to the ground? Therefore an alternative king-pin (2") could be used instead.......? If it weren't for the locking pins in the...

That was me playing with the original image, as I did for the 4x4, the 10x10 etc. Just a computer concept developing my 'Photoshop' skills.

To me!

I have three towbars in OKC needing pickup / transport to NY.. Only one HAS to make it, two would be nice, second and or third can be traded for the favor.....

Maybe an off set snatch block carrier like the M1A1 Ward laFrance wrecker rear winch. It didn't have rollers for a fairlead. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/87/G-116_Ward_la_France_1000_series_5%2C_M1A1_Heavy_Wrecker%2C_pic2.JPG

Not sure if it is anything that would be relevant - but I have a large Garwood winch I am not using - pto/chain drive drum with two capstans - one on each end of the drum. It's about 40"+- wide. I have seen these on antique logging trucks. Would be easy to power by hyd motor instead of the...

I believe the M870 (not sure if it is true for A2's) have an adjustment in the parallelogram to set the 'gooseneck' at different heights - so OK for civi 2" 5th wheels down close to the frame and for the higher 60+ inch x 3 1/2" LET/METs.

Demoh - good luck in your quest - there is a lot riding on this for many members here - PA is (was!) a good state for ex-mil gear. Hopefully this will be resolved to your satisfaction and you can report back when things progress. Subscribed.

What adapters are now carried? - inventory of vehicles keeps changing, last manual change I saw was still for the M984E1 included deleting lifting operation for the M911.

I think there is a "black fella"** crying somewhere - tree spirits and all! Question - do you know why you switched from Leopard 2's to Abrams? [**NB. Sensors/pc fans/Mods - Aboriginal folks use this term to describe themselves, so in context, this is not a racial slur.]
