My computer crashed taking all my files with it.
So I was looking to replace some of the TM's I had and I can't find the Austin Western
Crane manual anywhere.
Looking for the one covering M246/M819 wrecker cranes
Can anyone point me in the right direction? :confused:

We didn't have a specific one for those. The actual Austin Western manual we have covered the M108 and the M62 if memory serves correctly.

I believe the M62 is the same. The extra extension and of course the chart are the only differences I know of.
But I can't find it. The only reference I have found refers to the old site and it must be dead now.
Can't find it on here. (Basically computer challenged)
Help please?

The boom and mast ARE different from a m62 and a 246/819, the 246/819 mast is taller, the boom is a bit heavier, the 246/819 boom WILL mount in/on a m62 mast.

Before I get grief from anyone, I have a m62 AND a m819 in my driveway.

If anybody is looking for tm 9-8029-3 for the m62 and the m246 (same as the m819), this is the one Jeff has, get and download tm 9-2320-211-35, this SUPERSEDES tm 9-8029-3 and has EVERYTHING 8092-3 has. It is all towards the end of the tm. I spent most of the morning looking for tm 9-8029-3, everything referred to tm 9-2320-211-35, it still would be nice to find a tm 9-8029-

tm 9-2320-211-35 also has a nice m543 section after the m62 and the m246 sections.

Isn't the swing motor different on the M819/M246? M108/M60 use a goofy timed twin cylinders to spin a pinion, Not sure what M62's have.
