    MEP-002A/M116A2 Recovery

    Just to be clear. For the 116 you would use the hitch straight out of the top reciever tube? And is that set-up homemade? On the other front I busted my rear today and got the fuel system cleaned up and the batteries in. Once I closed the drain on the one fuel filter it started up on the...

    MEP-002A/M116A2 Recovery

    I'm not sure if they're working, I have to check them. The master cylinder is full of fluid but I didn't feel they were working right towing it. I found the hole too but can't see to the other side. Next on the list after I get it running. I was thinking about the taller hitch maybe a deuce or...

    MEP-002A/M116A2 Recovery

    MEP-002A/M116A2 Recovery

    I picked my 1992 MEP-002A mounted on a M116A2 from Mechanicsburg today. Process at the base went great. They set it right on my hitch with the forklift and a signature, walk around inspection and some lights I'm off. About 20 minutes down the road I decide to pull in to a rest stop and check...

    Gensets from GL today

    I never thought about the ASK...thanks LOL. Yeah I got my tool load out ready to go. I have to go about 135 miles with it back to VA. I am going to look for U-Haul places near there just in case. The one thing I am having trouble with is finding info on the trailer in the TM's or a TM for...

    Gensets from GL today

    Ratch Did you get to preview it? I wanted to try but didnt have time. I guess the biggest thing I'm worried about for the recovery is the brakes not working/locked up.
