Well dont feel so Bad, A Guy came to work for me awhile back, a hillbilly type from Florida, as we talk at brake and lunch, He said he had 8 KIDS back home!! well of course we asked "you are only 40 and have 8 Kids", How did U get so many", without missing a breath"Well We AIN"T got NO TV...

RE: M746 Pictures I have the Holmes sling attachment for the Holmes 5th wheel wracker attachment, Ive hung it under my Wrecker set # 7,It has the 3 hole thingy that the rear tie down/trailer safty chain loops are, and bolted right up to that, The guys at the armorey here said it was hooked up...

The guy in vermont who will make up cables wants me to send him mine , then he will copy it, i said yes, but cant seem to let go of it when i pic it up to put it in the box.....oh well ill try again, ....later...Randy

wheather they like to tell U or not, anything attached to your vehicle is covered, if they told u no, its still covered, but they will drop u if u have an accident, but they will pay they have to, ...randy

THATS FUNNY!!LOL!!...Randy

RE: Re: RE: Which hole? the grade 8 bolts are way better then the 5 pins from the old ship grave yard steel from india, and like U said shoulder is the key, but be realistic, U will never use it enough to wear the bolts or pins out, the bolts keep it tighter so less slop butthere is so little...

RE: Re: RE: Which hole? the bolts are fine, ive got alot of miles on one of my bars with bolts, its all in the shoulder like U say, obviuos.. its a pin with thread on the end, It states the use fine, short as possible, for strength, BUT as long as U wont pinch the bar, turning, Ive found one or...

same ones, I see em alot at the local armory,and have some wide load signs from there, same ones... although depending on the commanders, most of the time anything big is moved in Nj, they hire it out to a commercial big rig carrier, Randy

i think its a manufacture thing about the style of the shackle, ive seen the same ones on some early 80s 900s, ..Randy

My thought was the bottom of the a3 bumper? are they 3 or 4 holes i cant remember, they sure look like 5 tonners though,,If u have a five tonner already put em on the bottom of the bumper, ive hung bottom a set on both deuces and both 5 tonners, i like the 4 shackles up front...amd just got a...

another guess, how about a stiff jack for the wheel lug tools, to keep em level when exurting pressure to brake those lugs loose,hope u know what i mean, when the socket comes out from the wheel it may rest on it, it may work for that anyway??? Randy

I belive a flat tow is always the best as long as there was no mechanical problem with the front end ,,,only lift tow when off road and then because the front wheels wont get traction and wont follow U,,, it makes sense and is what all the TM s say to always do first too, ...with an axle clamp...

Man thanks for the post, i love trying stuff like that, but here in Nj there is no super need , so i wait till i heat up with 3 magnet heaters and a 150,000 BTU torpedo or 2, blowing down the center way before i sart any of em, BUT man thats a gass, the thick oil and wanting to drive...

What a GREAT Pic!!! Man thats a cool shot, i have to notice the front shackle lift, no loop around the frame rails, as I would expect after seeing this, since they were meant to be towed for any distance by them, in a lift tow, why not .. since the Marine TM shown in a later post here, says to...

NO NOT ME! But i dont know if u heard or remember the first show, at the Armory the soldiers kept the bar open all night friday and saturday, oh my, I will have to show U the pics, I dont drink,,,, But the other guys were toast, we carried around dead drunk soldiers in there cots and put one on...

RE: Re: Needed straps? AND... If that boat was an MV ,at least one of You guys would have said, Hunny... look we have room for another MV now!!!I like that pic! Randy

Re: Needed straps? Boy he couldnt have gotten it on any straighter if he tried, I know it hollow under there, but man thats a nice park job, I would frame that and brag!!! Randy LOL!!!

The brake tips are the best, no need to even start if there is a hint of brake trouble, I would and do look closely at all the inner tires and bottom, if sitting for awhile , of inner rims for any signs of brake fluid leaks this seams to be the most common deuce wheel to the floor failer ,and...

Re: RE: Re: Front lifting shackles? That sure makes sense, and very cool, Ive seen pics of the straps coming up but never saw the rest, very cool stuff, and it would probably be a little silly lifting that high with only shackles, ...Randy
