Look at an m915a1 and wanted to make sure before i put a bid in on it that it had the glad hands on the front so that I could tow it with my newly acquired tow bar.

I wonder if the TM tells you how to tow it properly.

Again, in the TM...( no slave port)

You better take some help if your GL lot does not offer loading.

Wait, you mean there is useful information in the TMs?

Like the -10 or maybe even, wait for it, the tow bar manual...

Dont know what size it is am going to pick it up tomorrow heres a pic of it.
Looking at some pictures of the truck where is the slave plug located at? i didn't see it by the grab bar or maybe i just need glasses
Here are some of the TMs you may need -

JATONKA's M915 series TM  download page

The slave plug is underneath the passenger side door on the front of the battery box.

Luckily I have lots of friends with semis and big trucks so it would probably be a peterbuilt or freigtliner semi.
All equipped with pintle hitches on the rear to hook the towbar to?????

If one of them has a fifth wheel wrecker (Holmes Kit) you can just pick it up from the rear. Remember to tie the steering wheel in place. That's how I recovered two of my M915's.

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 rofl
