M916A1 slave start M816

Finally got to move wrecker into shop for the winter. Had to jump start it off of the Freightliner but I did not have or couldn't find my NATO to older US 2 pin adapter, so I modded a NATO slave cable that I had which only had a plug on one end. Used a couple of long pieces of 10mm threaded rod - to bolt the cable ends on, a bend in each to give clearance for the nuts from oneanother then a load of electrical tape just for good measure.

Had to 'leaf blow' before power washing, then sunny day dry so I could drive into shop... the next day temps dropped 40(F) and it snowed...

Hadn't noticed before how short the 816 looks next to the LET!

I think he's starting his own empire on his side of town.
