I have a main hoist cable to replace on my M816 wrecker. I am using a three part line if it makes a difference. I have TM 9-2320-260-20-3-4 and it explains the change out well. I would like to have a new cable on hand when I take the old cable off so I can put it back together the same day...
VIN search please
O wise and all knowing Carnac:

I had the same problem. You need the injector pump fixed. I just did this on one of my gensets. There is a plastic piece that holds the governor weights that goes bad and plastic bits get stuck in the glass check ball in the top of the pump. This is a big money maker for pump shops. You...
I recently got a MEP005A 30 kw genset from Ft Meade and have gotten quite the education on these units. I didn't preview the one I bought in October and found the engine locked tight. Further investigation tells that loads of gensets are sent from Letterkenny to other GL sites to be sold. Many...
The M146 uses the same standard 2 1/2" :-D king pin as most all civvy semi's use and should hook up to any M818 tractor or deuce tractor. I believe it was actually designed to be pulled by the deuce tractor. The m146 is wired to be pulled with a military 24 volt tractor only and does not have...
Thanks Ryan for the TM numbers. A search turns to what this really is, fsn 2330-01-534-4570. A MHET 40 ton capacity trailer M870a2-S. This is also known as a Medium Heavy Equipment Transporter. Empty weight 19600. The primary removable kingpin is 3.5-inch diameter with an alternate supplied...
Can anybody ID the trailer in the first two pictures that is hooked to the M931 tractor? This looks like a lighter trailer than the M870a1 as in recent threads and also in the third picture. All of these pictures are from the Camp Pendleton CA site Marine Corps Mechanized Museum - Est. 1999...

The cats are surely civilian. They have been working as contractors guarding the motor pool from off base mice that may harm the trucks. :roll: The two guard cats caught by the camera were making their rounds inspecting the new vehicles for the possibility of any stowaway government mice...
I picked up three trailers at Fort Meade this week. We convoyed an m818 and a deuce. Had a pair of m105's and a M129a1c supply semi trailer to recover. Took off the cargo cover and bows so that one 105 would fit in the back of the deuce. Took off one set of side racks and laid them on...
