Awesome - thanks guys. Now back to some serious reading!

I am having problems opening any of these Towing TM's from the third page of Misc TM's in the TM forum. "Network Error"... 'Tech savy' Mods please advise (NB - TM's on page three are ok):- TM9-4910-496-10.pdf TM9-4910-496-10 Military Vehicle Towbar Manual and operation. FM21-305ch22.pdf...

Robo - Jeff has a great idea though you may have to make your own rigid bar that has one end that will only pivot left/right. That would mate to the center swivel in the whiffletree. This was done back in WWII with the M1 Ward laFrance and Kenworth wreckers. The whiffletree usually stays on...

Can anyone tow a 916 from MD to NJ show for me?? tried to delete... Can't. >: ( So I guess I'll see you there!

Like the mod. Only down side I can see will be all the "You put an 18 speed in there! Wow. How did yuh do that?", comments. I went for the simpler transfer lever extension... came across a load of spare knobs - had to do something with em!

Back on topic:- Just thought... there is room off to one side of the 'hump' in the bottom, between it and the frame end, to mount and stiffen either a pintle or the slot you are after. If done on the passengers side it would give you a better view down the side of the trailer... Some of...

The detail in the top left of pic in post #18 is from the -10 FM for the 809 series 5 ton (operators manual), also covered in the towbar TM; 9-4910-593-12&P, in FM 20-22 Vehicle Recovery Ops and FM 4-30.31 Battlefield Damage Repair... All of these were in the Misc part of the TM section of this...

Alternative, permanent mount idea to posts # 3 & # 5 . (Robo - I added a piece of the TM showing the "two leg thingey") We also have to understand the purpose of the intended hitch: Nosing trailers - strength not important - rolling resistance to be assessed, likely minimal. Towing...

Ron made a good observation - the stock bumper isn't that strong. I split mine while shunting in the yard when I backed past a 4"x4" post, just catching the edge. Post did not break and the bumper split on the bend... Must have been a bad repair in the past...

Front QD hitch Hey Robo - always good to read your Euro posts.... kind of a remenisance for me... I had designed this for my 816, haven't finished it yet. I guess you could substitute the NATO pintle for a slot and pin as per the DAF. On the wreckers and tractors there are the lower spade...

So if no-one is selling these ASKs, does anyone have either an off genny ASK to "copy", would be up for a load of dimensions/ and or pics, or the associated instalation TM/FM etc., that can be used for fabrication so that it is a reasonable facsimilie? Would like to get my 003 covered/secured...

All sounds like a fun trip...... I'd love to do this with one I am waiting on but NY doesn't do "Transportation Tags" into the state, and the State where it is doesn't do them at all! So it's gonna have to be carried! Dare I ask how you are overcoming.. wrong word, I mean organising the...

Phil - it's nice to see what they should look like all shiny etc! Are you selling any of the brackets etc?

Do you have these? I need a bunch... at the right price - AAR Mfg want upwards of $7.58 ea. That's $30 per shelf x ??? ..... ! I was looking into getting some made - best quote for the blank (pre folded) sofar is > $1.50 ea... Cheers. similar thread...

That didn't take long... Congrats Ron - you win. Front of the hood was raised as were the legs of the grille and associated support brackets. New engine cover sides were pressed with hardware transfered over. From what I can remember from the tale - the tinwork was all done in one overnight...

Just got some new pics from down under. Quiz: What's up with the headlights? ... don't let the lack of 'level wind' distract your attention! There may be other "spot the differences" pics later. NB. I do know the answer.

So what mods are you thinking about? The MMRS does have a load of nice features that could be addapted. ;) most of which people have been discussing here.

I think we are getting confused between recovery capability and lift capability. A big truck down an embankment will not be "lifted", it will be pulled or rolled then pulled - in army speak, that's what the drag winch is for. Righting a rolled truck ON/Next-to the highway will be lift rolled or...

Quick approx calcs... Original drum 10" dia, 17" long can hold ... 17 x 2 x pi x 10 / 12 = 89' Smaller drum 8" dia 17" long can hold ... 17 x 2 x pi x 8 / 12 = 71' inner layer 17 x 2 x pi x 9 / 12 = 80' middle layer 17 x 2 x pi x 10 / 12 = 89' outer layer Giving total of...

Not even that - NO CHANGE TO MOUNTS OR BRACKETS - just change the tube in the drum! Floridianson - "I trying to understand the need for 200 foot of crane line." .......... I'd guess it's just the state only knowing about civi wreckers w/o drag winches - just boom winches. But as they...
