    5 ton Bobsled, Recovery assistance near Berkeley Springs WV

    Wish I was closer, it would be fun to use the Mk48/15a1 on that... I pulled the truck that brought the Leopard 1, it and its trailer backwards with his brakes locked... all 100 foot of truck and trailer... I couldn't hear them yelling to stop as I drug him backwards. Good luck man... be safe.

    Mk48 LVS Hydraulic Specs

    Hey all, We use our Mk48 LVS/15a1 constantly... this week the crane was dropping a 3,000 lb Chieftain breech ring back into her... But we continually have to run the engine, and it usually starts to overheat... STILL can't find that problem. Anyway, we were thinking about putting an...

    Which APC is Right for Me?

    I stood outside of Prague, looking at T-72s to buy... they had a line of OT-64s almost new at the time. (This was 5 or more years ago). I asked what they wanted for one as it was new and I didn't know much about them (sorry, they had wheels)... the Czechs told me to run away... in very broken...

    Towing a HEMTT MK-48

    All Mk48s only have one steering axle, the rest of the steering is done by the hydraulic articulation based on the steering wheel position. Owning, using, and driving a Mk48 (NOT HEMTT) and transferring an FPU to another trailer by driving... I'd say he's nuts trying to pull one of these...

    Wehring LMTV Mods

    Justin, I've watched with great interest your LMTV thread... I've recently picked up a beautiful LMTV with the 3116 in it. I was wondering if you knew if the C7 was a direct drop in replacement, and if so, will the drivetrain be able to sustain the extra HP? I'm looking for better mileage...

    M48 & M983 HEMTT Differences?

    Small correction to post above, Mk48 flatbed is a Mk14, not Mk13 or 13a1, to the best of my knowledge no Mk13... Mk 48 LVS = FPU /14 = flat bed container carrier unit - no crane /15 = recovery unit - crane /16 = tractor unit - no crane /17 = cargo unit - crane /18 = container retriever - no...

    m936 boom won't rotate more than 10 degrees, are there limiting pins

    We use our 936 regularly for tank maintenance... we have never seen any limiting pins or anything that would limit rotation of the boom, on our wrecker. You do need to make sure the boom struts are disconnected from the back of the bed of course, and stored up on the boom itself. If equal...

    Need Mk48/15a1 assistance with overheating problem! Any Marine mechanics out there?

    Hey all, We regularly use a Mk48 LVS with a 15a1 recovery trailer for work around the armor barn. However everytime we use the hydraulic boom crane or the rear winch the Mk 48 begins to overheat. It will peg the temp gauge at 240. We have noticed that the fan never seems to go on to high...
