I need to check what's left of my TMs. One of the -10 updates had an entire 756 section that another update doesn't have. I also have some other M756A2 literature somewhere I need to find.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
It's just like a 5 ton wrecker chain, only longer. That is one heavy sucker to wield around.We are going to see Keith in a couple of weeks at the Sussex show and return the loaner parts. He does have extras of some stuff, we will see if he wants to sell it. We bought the chain that supports the boom arms from him in one length that's some big chain!
I've never heard of "yellow Locust" . Is that some East Coast wood ? Also how expensive is it ? and does it do well in damp raining conditions ? I need to replace all my wood on the troop seats and want something that will last and is strong.What are your plans for wood? Cranetruck has made a few sets of boards for pipeline beds using yellow locust. Stuff is hard on nails and saws but wears like iron.
That's one of the nice things about it, it's not something you see everyday and it's also more useful than a regular cargo truck for most situations.Last week, I could have used that rig to set up a radio tower at my place. This truck is on my list of one to find and purchase some day. You can always have an M35A2, but you aren't always going to have an M756A2.
Most likely the bed floor will be a type of oak.What are your plans for wood? Cranetruck has made a few sets of boards for pipeline beds using yellow locust. Stuff is hard on nails and saws but wears like iron.
Are you meaning differential lockers, or another kind?Also, as I expected this truck does not have lockers. We're 0 for 2 on m756a2 trucks so far!
The only ones I heard that had "Lockers" where used by the Marines.It was customarily thought that all pipeline trucks had Detroit Lockers. They are not in any TMs and I am 0-2 on it too. Both of mine were sans lockers.
