Great to have a wrecker / crane safety operation posting every once in awhile... Two points; - Esmet fittings have a small hole in them so that upon reassembly, you can see that you have set the end of the cable in far enough before tightening the nut. - Those "wedge" type fittings that have...

Glazing putty won't go completely hard and it's oil based. Why do you say no bondo when gone to bare metal? If you need to fill ie., don't want to see effects of rust, the only real answer is to 1 remove scale, 2 treat rust (Ospho etc.) [or blast to cover both steps 1 & 2], 3 fill (bondo), 4...

Not sure if member who has you stuff is coming to rally? Here's a new thread for shipping to/from rally. Can you assist or need anything brought back.... Use PMs for details/phone numbers etc., except big Jeff - PM box often full ; ) TO RALLY:- State - ( currently at SS member, location )...

I have some parts that need to be brought to rally - was wondering if there is any mileage in starting a new thread (don't want to get posting lost in "date change" thread, or this "buy-sell-trade" thread as it's not really appropriate) just for S/S underground railroad/shipping - to/from rally...

Hi Steve and welcome. What was your trade? Assuming you are ex REME... Land Rovers on this forum are a bit of a rarity, couple of 1 tonnes and a few lightweights. As soon as you are able, how about some pics? Howard (expat - Braintree, Essex.)

If either of you want these before the rally - to try out driving there(??..!), I can post them pretty cheaply - they're not heavy, I'm shipping one later today. Gimp - Yes Moneypenny, that's the plan, shaken not stirred, though I'll be in a different vehicle!

........ and probably better than they were ever done in the military (??). I thought over/under spray was more authentic, especially in a combat theatre? Unless of course they were done freehand with a brush. Clarification required.

M816 rear winch "Roller ponding" - Fix Had forgotten to post these from some time ago. My solution was to extend the grease fitting then caulk the void: I/Fittings. II/Fittings installed in roller. III/Roller test fit in frame. IV/Cap in place. V/Masked nipple for painting (Nipple will be...

Been discussed before : http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?97456-M816-rear-winch-roller-drain&highlight=Roller+Ponding ... but I had forgotten to update the thread.

Not for crane use (must use shackle for that), but for recovery use, choker hold can be used if you shove a load of grass or a couple of sticks in the choke. These will compress but will also swell back a bit and can be pulled out piece meal. Also softer "upside the head" if sling gives way!

Found your door decal: ... of course you don't need the barrel organ.

Minor update - A local highway dept has just acquired an A3 from Germany (??) and will be pulling the winch/fifth wheel to make a plough truck. Anyway - I got a good look at the winch tower/remote lines and found that the High/Low speed valve as on the A1/A2's has a third 'Aux' position which...

Some more. (NB. All "duh statements" included for neubs reading thread in the future.) Service line to trailer disconnected, it crosses winch line path. Note scrap wood 'gunplank' on tail of trailer and tail of gooseneck (pic 3) to protect winch cable. Needed dunnage/wood just incase the fuel...

20 ton NORCO bottle jacks (no handle) Genuine Bii kit - Made in USA........... $65 Cadillac ISU 90/60 container; shelf brackets (packs of 4 = one shelf)......... $18 5 ton transfer case; lever extension (with round knob) for 'split shifting' .... have to forge these so orders in advance...

More pics.. Lined up for a gentle up hill pull onto the trailer over the rear wheels. Pushing down really hard to hide the civi trailer on a high military fifth wheel. Also the Pete is 10' tall.

Pat - Don't know yet, just measured for "cube" tonight. May happen in a hurry, may not.

Engine start 2 weeks before we picked it up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlYckFOw5OY
