Showoff...Yes they all have pintle hitches.
Maybe I could get my uncle to lift it on to a trailer with his Grove GMK275 275 ton crane?
Probably would not fit through the gate at GL

As far as I know, they should.
Just got it picked up today an is it big!! Got some strange looks when i stopped to get some stuff at Harbor freight. Also experienced some bad fork lift driving at GL guy took some paint of my wheel well when he loaded it up. Here some pictures of it if some one could refer me to the right TM for it if there is a specific one for it that would be great.
Shop crane came in handy!

The tow bar that I have is not adjustable like the one in the TM and it only has one foot size.Is this the wrong one or is this a one type covers all?
Thanks

Have you READ any TMs yet, from your questions I would guess NOT, we are HERE to HELP, NOT do it for you.

Better check to see if the lunette ring on the tow bar will drop over the pintle on the commercial semi. Might not, actually. I ran into that problem. Commercial semi's have smaller pintles than some military lunettes. I don't know the dimensions right off, but I got a big surprise, once. Hate to see you travel a long way and get the same surprise. I towed my M915 home with a friend's Kenworth commercial wrecker.
I was going to tow it backwards with the steering wheel secured with straps, but the Y-adapters for the wheel lift were too narrow to fit around the rear axle. I used different Y-adapters that affix to the leaf springs, instead. Had to remove the driveline and cage the brakes. Had zero problems on the 200 mile tow home.
