    M870A1 Acquisition Thread

    I noticed that too - a little crude though, running chains over bodywork edges rather than dedicated "D" rings etc. "MIND THE PAINT". You would have thought that the build specs for the trailer would have catered for all the expected loads! I do however consider the covered wheels of the A1 (&...

    CB - I just came across this TM ( loading a Cat D8K on to an M870 ), it doesn't appear to be complete (fig 1, 2, 4, 5 & 6 are missing), but it's worth a look.. http://www.combatindex.com/store/tech_man/Sample/Const_Dozer/TM_55-2410-234-14.pdf It's interesting how they suggest running the tie...

    Dual Winch & Winching

    You are correct, tandem winches are used for loading disabled tracked vehicles. Just like the HET and right back to the M26 Pacific in WWII. They can be stacked or side by side. Question is - how are the winches set up re drive/freewheel/brake etc., on the ones you are looking at. Probably you...

    M936A2 wrecker boom cable broke at clevis end with pics

    Great to have a wrecker / crane safety operation posting every once in awhile... Two points; - Esmet fittings have a small hole in them so that upon reassembly, you can see that you have set the end of the cable in far enough before tightening the nut. - Those "wedge" type fittings that have...

    Behr paint prep on divots and rust spots

    Glazing putty won't go completely hard and it's oil based. Why do you say no bondo when gone to bare metal? If you need to fill ie., don't want to see effects of rust, the only real answer is to 1 remove scale, 2 treat rust (Ospho etc.) [or blast to cover both steps 1 & 2], 3 fill (bondo), 4...
