    Wrecker wishlist of mods

    I was thinking that maybe there might be an interference issue with the lids not opening fully when the crane is slewed at an angle... BUT seeing as you have done this - I guess you have already checked! Were you able to save and reuse the hinges? I know that on mine, I can't open the...

    M916A1 w/w

    Well - schematics only show ... the system, but unfortunately, the necessary valve/port is mounted tight to the cabinet side that holds all the valves/plumbing so I think inline "T's" will be the simplest option - rather than remake the cabinet/valve location. Stilll need info on quick connects.

    Lowering Pintle Hitch

    IlgU22 ... looks like you'll have a prefab'd option rather than haveing to make your own. Keep us posted if you need to follow through with alternatives; sketches, ideas etc.

    Lowering Pintle Hitch

    '22, I'd go with Jeff's idea and either an attatchment to the trailer or a permanent mod depending if you are likely to be towing the trailer with a lowrider in the future. Two stout ears (for upwards of 1 1/4 or 1 1/2" bolts) welded on the top and sides of the trailers 'A' frame, at least 18"...

    Norwich NY 24,25 May

    I spoke to Lorna yesterday - she too want's to convoy on Sat am aswell. Looks like it's planned to meet up at the McD's in Richfield for a 9am depart. There is a spot of waste ground right opposite the gas station entrance, on 20 just incase the station is busy. Lorna will try to get a'hold...

    Norwich NY 24,25 May

    Anyone else planning going to the car show in Norwich NY? There used to be a decent gathering of MV's, tents etc., though in recent years the amount of 'green' has dwindled a bit. Weather last year didn't help! It would be nice to see if this 'broad spectrum' car show could regain a little more...

    Re-decking M871, what material?

    What the army uses or not - I've seen first hand the devistation in the far East from rain forest logging.... Heart breaking. I'd go with domestic treated pine - go thick enough and if possible, tongue and grooved (or biscuited as appropriate). I've done oak before but after it got rained...

    new toy (m916a1) to be made into a 4000 gallon water truck.

    What tyres did it come with .. Michellin XZY (??) or the Goodyear G177's?

    I know a simple "yes" would have sufficed - but I thought I'd show you how I found the answer...

    Lets see pictures of your stereo/speaker set up in a deuce

    I went the other way.... Will eventually get a radio (+ speakers) for the '16A1 but for recent maiden voyage I used my personal satelite radio, external aerial and a small pair of in-ear head phones. I guess ear buds would work too. Unfortunately mounted the radio a little low, so had to let...

    M916 5th wheel hook

    Making a hook for my 5th wheel as per Bii... Wasn't going to photo or dimension but then thought there may be others that need one - assuming that these weren't used much and probably dosposed of when the wing nut on the keeper broke, so doubt any of these came with the vehicles. Probably...

    Ha ha... yes I guess so! I think I saw you and your wife drive by when I was between 5 tons nattering, but lost track and forgot to look around for you later near the Chevys!

    New Jersey April 26 and 27th, 2014 Military Vehicle Show and Swap Meet.

    Great weekend at Augusta. Thanks Scott and company (inc CAPT goldplated golf cart - who kept on trying to swap it for my truck - nice try!) for a well run show. Appologies for bugging out Sun am - 4 hr trip and work Mon etc...., and I thought convoying with those from the Gt White North was a...

    New Jersey April 26 and 27th, 2014 Military Vehicle Show and Swap Meet.

    I looked at the vendor list but nothing sprang to mind..... Is the "Padlock guy" going to be in attendance? I'll also be looking for a 3900 antenna. May have some "Crosby" shackles; 1/2" - 1" to sell 1944 US W Monarch (water/flip top) Jerry Can - best offer.

    Wet line kit for trailers Comparing schematics, it seems simpler than I had imagined.... Can someone please advise on the type of quick connect fittings that are used.

    M916A1 w/w

    John, that is a really nice job - 10/10 for engineering. NEXT project!... I want to put remote lines for trailer hydraulics - a 'wet line kit' if you will onto mine, for a detatchable lowboy. Would you think the same 'T'ing' points would be appropriate? I will have to pull the cover off of the...

    -20 -34 TM's for M916A1

    John... Thanks - didn't realise JT was so up todate!!!!! No offence John! My PC didn't like the 1000+ TM, I guess it's getting a little full with all the others! Liberated manuals had some as well. A1... hence the title of the thread! ; ) Artisan - no point in me downloading then...

    -20 -34 TM's for M916A1

    I feel like this is a silly question BUT..... Looking for maintenance TM's ( -20 & -34) for the M916A1. Not found on flea-bay, either motors or books search ( -10 yes). Could not find here in the TM section - yes I looked. Could be current issue, only for a while though, they're using A3's...
