Hey guys...
Well my HEMTT showed yesterday... M985... what an ordeal on EUC!
Besides some body dings and dents and a few paint needs, she looks pretty good...
I do have one question... it appears that there is a hose out of the top of both manifolds, that wraps down around the engine... and...
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.
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...
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...
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...
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...
Prayers and condolences to the families...
I second that thought o1951, I hope that the details are released and we can all learn from this tragedy, at least it may then serve to avoid other similar mishaps.
I know that one of the men was able to discuss what had happened to emergency...
Hey all,
Just got my LMTV today... unfortunately the trip from Florida destroyed the cargo cover... its done...
1) Any idea where to get a new LMTV cargo cover?
2) Will an M35A3 cargo cover work in a pinch?
Thanks!
If anyone has a spare center cap for the steering wheel with the Stewart...
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...
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...
Hey guys, thanks for the help...
Here is what we know:
1) Yes the radiator is full
2) Yes when it gets hot it has blown juice up and out... nice
3) Hydraulic fluid does not have water in it
4) We have not pulled the hydraulic fluid filter... doing that this weekend... got to pull the...
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...
Actually no... there is a listing for a hardtop on the big auction site... saying the top is for an M1105... its definitely for a Silver Eagle trailer... but the owner says its for an M1105, M1105a1 and M1105a2
Hey all,
So whats the difference between the M1101 & 2 and the M1105 series trailers?
I'm looking for a hardtop unit, M110x series trailer... must be excellent shape, for an expedition to the arctic circle.
I found a hardtop for the M1105 series, but don't know why it would not fit the 1101 &...
