Can anyone short cut my search for the circuit diagram covering the M816?
I briefly searched this forum also thumbed through the Maintenance manual.....
Thanks - Howard
Not sure if this is anything to do with upgrade - but below the banner:-

CB - doesn't the king-pin "float" or at least come out so that it doesn't get buried in the dirt/damaged by blacktop-hard surfaced roads when lowering the gooseneck to the ground? Therefore an alternative king-pin (2") could be used instead.......?
If it weren't for the locking pins in the...
I have three towbars in OKC needing pickup / transport to NY.. Only one HAS to make it, two would be nice, second and or third can be traded for the favor.....
Maybe an off set snatch block carrier like the M1A1 Ward laFrance wrecker rear winch. It didn't have rollers for a fairlead.

Not sure if it is anything that would be relevant - but I have a large Garwood winch I am not using - pto/chain drive drum with two capstans - one on each end of the drum. It's about 40"+- wide. I have seen these on antique logging trucks.
Would be easy to power by hyd motor instead of the...
I believe the M870 (not sure if it is true for A2's) have an adjustment in the parallelogram to set the 'gooseneck' at different heights - so OK for civi 2" 5th wheels down close to the frame and for the higher 60+ inch x 3 1/2" LET/METs.
Demoh - good luck in your quest - there is a lot riding on this for many members here - PA is (was!) a good state for ex-mil gear.
Hopefully this will be resolved to your satisfaction and you can report back when things progress. Subscribed.
What adapters are now carried? - inventory of vehicles keeps changing, last manual change I saw was still for the M984E1 included deleting lifting operation for the M911.
I think there is a "black fella"** crying somewhere - tree spirits and all!
Question - do you know why you switched from Leopard 2's to Abrams?

Well it looks like the diaphragm in the primer pump - part of the "primary filter water separator adapter" #30 is not playing nice. Can't get anything out of the outlet port when manually pumping or cranking.
Do any of the mil parts dealers carry NoS Detroit spares? I am sure that the regular...
I see them all there thanks. -20-2 says -10 is where the "Prime Fuel System" is found, but -10 is operator, manual.... I should have recognised that number, however the -10 doesn't have priming instructions, only filling...
Need to 'Prime Fuel System' as I have a no start situation. Trucks been standing for a while and primary fuel filter has dried!!?? No fuel comes from the sediment drain on base of #1 filter.

Two of the four 6TL batteries have died (8.5 and 10.1 volts - 0 charge), I went to the local battery store (yes, Interstate specialist who have supplied pallets of 6TL's to local armory/base).
I had followed their suggestions for 'rejuvenating' them with standard (heavy duty charger on wheels)...
