powered back end. Another hyd spades pic I found on "The Facebook".

sorry - I keep trying to load the pic, but nothing. So imagine a HET, with twin boom Holmes 850 behind the twin drag winches and a civi underlift at the back, all painted camo green/black etc... The FB link does work cut n paste though. There is also a pic of an M916A1/2 all stretched out...

I remember as a kid, going to that Mildenhall air show and seeing the SR-71 arrive and land. Rumour at the time was that doing the record for the fastest transatlantic crossing, it was going so fast that it overshot the UK and had to turn around over Sweden. I did get 'the T-shirt' but I have...

Wrong cab/hood I know, but... right cab, still wrong wheels.

That's the regimental colours of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME).. also RAEME and RCEME for same units in Australia and Canada. Often see those colours in small squares on the engineer/fitter/mechanic/recovery vehicles attached to other units.

Hey biggun' - 2:35 am what's up with that? Happy new year btw! Great thread to warm up as always. What about that "finger saver" as you called it! (BII [CES - "British~English"] x3 per UK wrecker - wheeled and tracked) H (sorry, internets way too slow this morning for pics - there is a...

'Blood flow' - try using PAINT on your computer to give us a clue what you are after to either draw from scratch or you can cut-n-paste TM pics/photos. Canadian CCKW's and RAEME M816 wreckers all had various stowage/tray/catwalks behind the bumpers...

Some kind of a head ache rack like on a bolster truck might be an option. Make it look like a permanent first hood hoop but stronger?

Look at the leverage the length of the A frame puts on the tether that would go over the cab - it would be similar to the load being lifted - approximately similar angles. Now look at the magnification of torque put on anchors that are only a bumper height above the pivot - upwards of many...

That right there is one of the funniest quotes (truths) I've seen in a long while. Would make a great Facebook group... if I was interested in such things. I think all the wrecker mod/done with your wrecker/wrecker wishlist etc., threads need to be renamed!

I think I saw somewhere, prob on the internets, that it's not the height that is illegal, it's the waste of bed space and potential for burning the backs of landscape contractors/vegetable pickers.

John - my flat bed is done, just need underside painting. Dummy king pin for retention/front support and reverse ramps for rear support. Self loading using winch like M870 hookup. Don't have working camera/smart ph at the moment...

Any reason why a welcome thread from May 2011 has been rekindled or am I missing something??? ... but welcome? I guess.

Trying to locate the owner of a Ward laFrance in the DC/Baltimore/Eastern MD area who went to one of the Aberdeen shows a few years ago (current Cal Ripkin Stadium location). Civi wrecker owner - I believe the Ward was his fathers??? The Ward was towed in on a 3 axle tilt bed behind a large...

I have a set of the spades and poles, so if you need dims/sketch of the poles, give me a shout. They are pretty stout, 3/8" - 7/16" or maybe even 1/2" wall!!! pic 3 - the sand coloured one...
