    M944 tent set up

    Thanks. I'm looking for the "Bat Wing" style. My M944 came with the canvases but no poles. Our county C.E.R.T. want to use the M944 as an onsite HQ/communication station. I am going to fabricate the poles. Unless I can buy the poles somewhere. any suggestions?

    M944 tent set up

    I downloaded the TM trailer version of the M944 for the tent setup. But I'll be darned if I can find it. I can't find the posting pointing to the TM number either. Can somebody help me with that?

    MOG body work

    The MOG took a hit on the left side sometimes in her (him, it) life. The left rear fender and step was bent. Pretty much all I the stuff I used to straighten the fender came from the M944 and trailer. The square tube is from the laundry trailer roll bar. The hydraulic porta power came from the...

    Unimog SEE issues

    I just uploaded a bunch of S.E.E. TMs. Before the finger wagers attack you I suggest reviewing the TMs especially the operators manual. Evidently I got so busy fixing the A.W.D. I forgot to take pictures. The first position of the switch is to engage the A.W.D the second position is the diff lock.

    5 Ton

    Lets not forget the M944. BTW How do I find information on setting up the tenting that surrounds the vehicle? Can't find anything in the TM's. I have the canvases but no poles. There are pole placement placards on the bat wing doors but nothing on setting up the canvases. Our "County Emergency...
