Help - M125 Wrecker Boom Winch Level Wind not on the level

[houdel]

John Winslow in NC has new 3/4" correct wrecker chains as well. Your front winch should have 5/8" cable and of course the rear drag 3/4".

Do you have a screen name for John Winslow or other contact information so I can get ahold of him? BTW, my front winch is not stock M125 or M816. Whomever did the conversion used the winch PTO to run the wrecker hydraulics and added a 45,000 lb hydraulic winch on the front.

Look at the Ps magazine article M543 it will explain everything. And show you the A-frame in use.

Can you be more specific? I went to the PS Magazine website, a search for "article M543" only returned an article on radio mounting kits.

I can't seem to find that one. LOGSA does not have issues that old on line, and I cannot seem to locate in the "PS Magazines" resource library. Any hints?

I think the confusion is because you are looking on LOGSA's site and everyone is referring you to the PS article archive here on SS. Click on the 'Resources' tab at the top of the page and select 'PS Articles'. From the main PS article window there is a 5-ton folder, in that folder is a sub folder for the 543. The article you are looking for is there.

Later,
Joe

Thanks all for the help. I did find the PS magazine pages but missed the view of the "A" frame on the last sheet.

Now, does anyone know of a good source for the boom shipper support pin, NSN 53150-00-052-0110, PN 10899366? The good folks at Highpoint (or a previous owner) must have misplaced them along the way and replaced them with a pair of long bolts. I would kind of like to get the right part to go in there. I tried the usual cast of on line sites but came up empty handed.

BTW, I did finally untangle the bird's nest I made by improperly winching out my line. I ended up having to cut off about the last 2' of cable as it had a good kink in it. I reclamped the cable end and rewound the cable on my drum while dragging my tractor up the driveway to get a good tight wrap. I WILL be more careful the next time I winch out my line!
