As the length of cable on the winch drum is somewhat limited I imagine they decided to just pull it with the truck, as it looks like they moved the bow quite a ways to give cranes and the new steel room to maneuver.

Like you say, regardless of what it weighs, still an impressive site to see such a small truck (relatively) pulling such a gigantic object. On the other end of the spectrum, I wonder how well the brakes work? I would imagine the assembly area must be dead flat. Just watching one of these...

I wonder what the combined carry and tow weight is? That really defines " finding new uses for ex military vehicles" Thanks for the post!

Enjoyment galore. crew chief 71-73. thanks

Howdy and welcome from Colorado! When you get a chance, post up some pics of the new ride please!

Howdy and welcome from Colorado! Certainly lots to learn and share.

Great write up. Sorry for your loss and thank you for your service! Always great to have a soldier B especially when they are your best friend. She must be going thru a lot of the same thing you are. I hope she finds solace in the project as well.

Howdy and welcome from Colorado. I would like a cucv as well. Keep us posted how you progress. Try to document what you do as you go. It may help you down the road. Also, you may want to label the things you change. It can get real confusing in a hurry.

Saw one of those at my local Harley dealer years ago. Wonder how they held up for the intended purpose? ever hear anything from the British about them?

Thanks so much for posting the pictures and the history of where the name came from. I think Kaiser Jeep is another interesting relationship and history. Looking forward to see your end results.

Macondo--Howdy and welcome from Colorado. You may want to introduce yourself as a new member. Is there a Government Liquidation site near you? I can't imagine what it would have cost to ship your genny.

Howdy and welcome from Colorado! ditto on some pics please!

Sounds very interesting. Be nice to see some pics of the dash plates and engine bay when you get the time. Good find.
