Deuce Towbar Instruction Decals

[Polverone]

I am not tooting my own horn here but with the response to the towbar "Operators Iinstruction" and "NSN" decals buried in another thread I opted to start a new one so it could be found in a search later on.

I have designed a set of replacement decals for the medium towbar for the Deuce. It is described here in this thread:
http://steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=19613

They are printed on self adhesive vinyl with a PVC overlaminate that makes them impervious to all the elements including alcohol, gas, diesel, acetone, and jealous envy slobber.

For those interested in these decals they are $8.50 for the set (postage paid). This is more a service to the members here as this just about covers production costs and postage. The equipment alone costs more than 15 average deuces.

Send check or money order to:

Gary Berg/Left Coast Design
P.O. Box 7777
Thousand Oaks, Ca. 91359

I will also try to list them on the classified section here.
And yes, they appear on ePray occasionally.


Revision # 2!

Now showing updated Operators and NSN decals

Thank You!!! I have 8 bars ...So I need 8 sets the check will be in the mail first thing Monday...Thanks again, Funny I was just about to drag the one bar i have that still has most of them on it, and get it scanned....Super Sweet...Randy

Nice decals. Will they all have the same serial number?

 

[emr]

Subject tow bar under contract No. DAAA 09-81-C-4279 ABBOTT Products are not to be used due to suspected weak welds.

From 1991 Maintanence Memorandum, If anyone happens to have this contract No. on there original decals or just wants to be shure they have a safe tow bar they need to weld 3 inch long by 1/4 in collors on/over the welds on the lunet end of there bars, And just incase... Gary U were going to use different contract #'s on some of the bars, You may not want to use this one...fyi...If its to much of a pita to use different #s i still want 8 sets, I would not have made them different when i had em made here,Thanks !!! randy

Yes. Either that or no serial number at all. The price would go right through the roof making a separate file for each and everyone of them with a different serial number.

Thanks for the info Randy. I only know of the contract number that was provided in the picture by Clinto so that's where I got it.

I vote for the #. It looks more complete, and its a good one...Randy

My towbar TM has NSN 4910-01-365-9304 on the front, your label has "385", is that a different towbar?

 

[Polverone]

Bjorn,

This is the picture I went by (thanks to Clinto). I zoomed in on it and it sure looks like a "8".

Does anyone else have same as Bjorn?

 

[gimpyrobb]

I have a pic of one one from online where the NSN, MFR,#, and Contract were filled in by sharpie. .02

 

[M1075]

Very interesting pic. Where on the vehicle is that mounted? Why is the towbar adapter on the pintle end? Hmmmm....

 

[Blake]

Good catch Bjorn, the correct NSN is 4910-01-365-9304

NSN 4910-01-385-9304 does not exist

 

[cranetruck]

Here is the cover, you may also want to go ogle the NSNs....

 

[gimpyrobb]

Bjorn, the leg is backward because when you have the WMO done to the tow bar tubes, it will not close.

 

[cranetruck]

It was James inquiring, but good , I see your problem...for stowage only then.

 

[gimpyrobb]

DOH! My bad.

 

[Polverone]

Thanks for catching that Bjorn and Blake.
Notice the revised picture above showing the new corrected NSN number.

It's a good thing you caught this when you did as I had a lot of sets going to the post office today. I have removed the tainted NSN's from those envelopes and with the rest I had made up and gave them the deep six.

Fresh one's being made now.

 

[emr]

Love the idea of the stowage reversed thing, sure makes sense when seeing it, i ground down one of mine just enough inside to make it neat, now i wont do that again...and I am going to copy the way the lunet is on the pipe end with the pin , that is way cool,...Randy

 

[cranetruck]

I have a couple to clean up and complete (parts bent or missing), but which one are you guys discussing here, the "fat" one or the "skinny" one, I'm assuming it's the fat one?

 

[doghead]

Yes, the fat one.
