I looked at the vendor list but nothing sprang to mind..... Is the "Padlock guy" going to be in attendance?
I'll also be looking for a 3900 antenna.
May have some "Crosby" shackles; 1/2" - 1" to sell
1944 US W Monarch (water/flip top) Jerry Can - best offer.
Wet line kit for trailers
Comparing schematics, it seems simpler than I had imagined....
Can someone please advise on the type of quick connect fittings that are used.
John, that is a really nice job - 10/10 for engineering.
NEXT project!...
I want to put remote lines for trailer hydraulics - a 'wet line kit' if you will onto mine, for a detatchable lowboy. Would you think the same 'T'ing' points would be appropriate?
I will have to pull the cover off of the...
John...
Thanks - didn't realise JT was so up todate!!!!! No offence John! My PC didn't like the 1000+ TM, I guess it's getting a little full with all the others!
Liberated manuals had some as well.
A1... hence the title of the thread! ; )
Artisan - no point in me downloading then...
I feel like this is a silly question BUT.....
Looking for maintenance TM's ( -20 & -34) for the M916A1. Not found on flea-bay, either motors or books search ( -10 yes).
Could not find here in the TM section - yes I looked. Could be current issue, only for a while though, they're using A3's...
I am having problems opening any of these Towing TM's from the third page of Misc TM's in the TM forum. "Network Error"...
'Tech savy' Mods please advise (NB - TM's on page three are ok):-

TM9-4910-496-10 Military Vehicle Towbar Manual and operation.

Robo - Jeff has a great idea though you may have to make your own rigid bar that has one end that will only pivot left/right. That would mate to the center swivel in the whiffletree.
This was done back in WWII with the M1 Ward laFrance and Kenworth wreckers. The whiffletree usually stays on...
Like the mod. Only down side I can see will be all the "You put an 18 speed in there! Wow. How did yuh do that?", comments.
I went for the simpler transfer lever extension... came across a load of spare knobs - had to do something with em!
Back on topic:-
Just thought... there is room off to one side of the 'hump' in the bottom, between it and the frame end, to mount and stiffen either a pintle or the slot you are after. If done on the passengers side it would give you a better view down the side of the trailer...
Some of...
The detail in the top left of pic in post #18 is from the -10 FM for the 809 series 5 ton (operators manual), also covered in the towbar TM; 9-4910-593-12&P, in FM 20-22 Vehicle Recovery Ops and FM 4-30.31 Battlefield Damage Repair... All of these were in the Misc part of the TM section of this...
Alternative, permanent mount idea to posts # 3 & # 5 . (Robo - I added a piece of the TM showing the "two leg thingey")
We also have to understand the purpose of the intended hitch:
Nosing trailers - strength not important - rolling resistance to be assessed, likely minimal.
Towing...
Ron made a good observation - the stock bumper isn't that strong. I split mine while shunting in the yard when I backed past a 4"x4" post, just catching the edge. Post did not break and the bumper split on the bend... Must have been a bad repair in the past...
Front QD hitch
Hey Robo - always good to read your Euro posts.... kind of a remenisance for me...
I had designed this for my 816, haven't finished it yet. I guess you could substitute the NATO pintle for a slot and pin as per the DAF. On the wreckers and tractors there are the lower spade...
So if no-one is selling these ASKs, does anyone have either an off genny ASK to "copy", would be up for a load of dimensions/ and or pics, or the associated instalation TM/FM etc., that can be used for fabrication so that it is a reasonable facsimilie?
Would like to get my 003 covered/secured...
All sounds like a fun trip...... I'd love to do this with one I am waiting on but NY doesn't do "Transportation Tags" into the state, and the State where it is doesn't do them at all! So it's gonna have to be carried!
Dare I ask how you are overcoming.. wrong word, I mean organising the...
Do you have these? I need a bunch... at the right price - AAR Mfg want upwards of $7.58 ea. That's $30 per shelf x ??? ..... !
I was looking into getting some made - best quote for the blank (pre folded) sofar is > $1.50 ea...
Cheers.
