    that is so true, the stress alone keeps one up all night .. I went thru a week-long learning curve to discover the ermeto's on the M62's were a one-shot OEM deal just for the A/W boom and been NLA a long time.. It took awhile of the "unknown" to find a hydraulics outfit that even remotely knew...

    WillWagner, To avoid the inevitable scalp and hair treatment, perhaps you should do the task "Tactical" and wear your steel pot :LOL::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

    Good Lord, please take me away in my sleep before i ever have to do this with my M62 , for surely the task will kill me with much suffering, bloody knuckles, bumps, bruises, pulled muscles, popped joints, and cussing the likes of which will not allow me thru the gates. o_O

    on a construction site after my active army stint, a similar situation entailed but someone knew the porta potty (sitting on a pallet) was occupied by a certain joker loving to mess with peoples lunchboxes, tool belts, whatever, and apparently it went too far... Someone tied a rope around the...

    It figures that some AHJ (authority having jurisdiction) would mess it up ... I know the following example doesn't apply to your current situation, but certain lunacies happen.. Case in point, an ADA restroom inside a 60x100 unpartitioned public market"warehouse" versus an ADA porta-potty...

    ADA-compliant Porta-Potties are available , with running water as an option .. Of course local codes dictate yes or no :(

    My problem isn't with any mess or tight working space .. The problem is being able to get my head, arms, and hands to move into the positions needed after i get up in there .. Joints don't cooperate like they used to. . And then there's the "oh sh-- , got everything in here but the inch and...

    I will have to look at my M51 next time I am home to see if it has same setup you describe... The weird mount might just be an M62 thing but I can't help you with that because some fool in command somewhere in the 1970s decided my M62 should be re-motored with a multifuel .. Ugggg .. But I will...

    I think he is still working on the mess he inherited on the winch ... If the museum yard is as congested as it looks in pics, he will need to find at least a dozen snatch blocks to string that mess out :ROFLMAO: ... He could use that Huey's mast as a bobbin, though ... rofl...

    My M817 was rats-nested when obtained, hook bound tight, with busted shear pin.. I resorted to a 24" pipe wrench with pipe cheater and backed off the input coupler until it eventually turned easy.. Then inserted a new pin and pay out some more until I could release the winch hook from the...

    my guess the following are Parker numbers but am not sure .. This batch was to adapt the main boom cylinder to "normal" hose fittings , but should get you into the correct ballpark of what you need to find for the hoist motor .. The Ermeto pipe adapters might be Adaptall brand, I don't recall ...

    I flunked kindergarten cuz I couldn't color within the lines .. First part of that sentence was fact-checked by snopes and found to be untrue, but the 2nd part is true :LOL:
