Guess I need to get my murder spork shovel out and do some more digging. Thanks.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
My M1009 has a swiveling pintle. Are you sure yours isn't just stiff from disuse?...it would be easier if the M1009 had a swiveling pintle like the 1008/1028's do.

I don't want to be the wise guy .......the pintle hook has a grease fitting behind the bumper......Nope. mine has no way to swivel from what I can see, but I'll have to look to be 100% sure.
You may be right and it may have been seized up from not being used, but even after moving this trailer with the incline on my driveway, it wasn't enough force to even budge it.
Edit...
My curiosity got the best of me and I had to go out and check. I was thinking (and that can be dangerous) why wouldn't they put a swivel pintle on a M1009? My thoughts were maybe because it is a 3/4 ton platform vs the 1008/1028's and others that are a 1 1/4 ton platform, but that didn't quite make sense to me.
So I went out sprayed all sorts of penetrating oil and got out the BFPB and gave it a twist. You are correct sir, it is a swivel pintle. So now I have another item on my list of fix it's. It moves much nicer now than it ever did but it took a lot of swearing and that extra serving at breakfast to get it to move.
no offense taken, I can be an idiot sometimesI don't want to be the wise guy .......the pintle hook has a grease fitting behind the bumper......
That you guys always forget the pictures.........LOLMounted a Warn Zeon 10 Platinum winch under the rear, great winch, fully sealed w complete wireless control
Recovery4x4Interesting. Did you purchase it that way? I've considered them and was recently researcing longer studs. My truck has the chassis cab 14 bolt but my old K30 had the 70 rear and neither had spacers.
It's making some sense. Since the kits were purchased long after production, they have different style rims. These rims may be the issue. I really need to study the parts TM to see if they are listed.Recovery4x4
A couple years ago, while picking up some trailers at Ft Hood,
I viewed 7-8 Cucv trucks with dual tires, no beds.
They all had spacers between the wheels.
All looked to be built that way.
All trucks were identical, except t-cases varied 205's & 208's.
Trucks were not in GL's possession or lot for that matter.
I did NOT open the doors of any them, to check data tags.
There were also a few there with a modified secm bed (had really nice dually extension installed).
Again, I do not know what were in secm style beds (wasn't comfortable with snooping in the trucks)
I was hoping they would go to auction but they disappeared & never did.
Please update post when you find anything.It's making some sense. Since the kits were purchased long after production, they have different style rims. These rims may be the issue. I really need to study the parts TM to see if they are listed.
