    M936 Wrecker, Tires and Spare

    I have had it for about 6 weeks now. The outriggers were (are) rusted into the body. The back two came out eventually. The front two are still stubbornly in place. I have resorted to a hacksaw blade on a saws-all. I have worn out several blades... Lots of penetrating fluid. I am using a...

    M936 Wrecker, Tires and Spare

    Now you're talking! Hydraulic impact wrench... That would be the ticket. I can imagine that a hydraulic wrench might be a little heavy and awkward - but there shouldn't be any shortage of power that way. The "squad" and the "rescue" fire trucks trucks in town have a hose reel of siamesed...

    M936 Wrecker, Tires and Spare

    Interesting. Wouldn't have thought redesigning the toolboxes would have been done between truck models. A couple of inches in both directions... In my opinion, designing a way to access them from the ground could have had some real value - but it almost seems like a waste to redesign like this.

    My wrecker - at least in theory - is an A1. I have a few odd features like A2 fuel tanks, free spool winches front and back and so on. Maybe I have an "A1.5" or something crazy like that? Anyway, you mentioned toolbox dimensions. I don't know if mine are standard or not. I took some...

    Great! So it sounds like I don't need to fabricate... Even better than I had hoped! Thank you sir.

    M936 Wrecker, Tires and Spare

    I have a nice set of six 395/85 R20's under my wrecker. Nice big fat juicy tires! The spare is a (flat) 11.00/R20 that fits the spare tire holder nicely. The tool boxes open like they should. The rotator boom clears the spare... If I happened to be pulling my HEMAT trailer, I have a...
