    Missing handle on a M116A3? (PU-797 recovery)

    Well as an update, she pulled like a dream. I wish all trailers were so happy at highway speeds! Hubs were cool to the touch even after the 400ish miles were up. Actually got a chance to meet up with Ray70 as he was at the yard at the same time. A little jealous he was leaving with two, and I...

    Yeah it looks to be in real nice shape. I dont anticipate problems... but its when you don't, right? Thanks for the dimensional clarification.

    Missing handle on a M116A3? (PU-797 recovery)

    I asked in my other thread on this in the trailers forum, but I will also ask here... anyone know the socket size needed for the castle nut holding the rim in place? In case I need to loosen a stop. Thanks

    Do you know the exact size socket the nut takes? Going through my list today to make sure I'm loaded for bear. Thanks

    Good luck to you too. Sucks we don't have a closer location with reliable source.

    Missing handle on a M116A3? (PU-797 recovery)

    I think I see a padlock hanging from the front of the OVM box... so maybe I will investigate upon landing at home base. Thanks for the tip though Guy. This will also make a nice test mule (if it lasts long enough in my possession) to test out some of those gauges from my crispy set!

    Missing handle on a M116A3? (PU-797 recovery)

    Are these handles located near the pintle ring, or somewhere further back?

    Missing handle on a M116A3? (PU-797 recovery)

    Lock it out as just fix the assembly so it cannot even engage? Good thinking Uncle Sam! I cant tell from the photos if the pin is in place or not (some of the auctions you could see it hanging by a chain). If you can find the bolt size as a backup that would be great.

    Oh yes, air compressor is coming for the ride. Id bring a spare tire with me if I had it... but I don't. Here is to hoping its smooth sailing home once properly inflated!

    PU-797 recovery

    Oh, and I am recovering this with a newer F350. Anyone know if the safety chains are of sufficient length to reach a standard hitch, or do I need to bring extensions to do this?

    PU-797 recovery

    Good to know Dr., thanks! Bingo'd the boys in the genset forum too on this, as both sides could have good information on this. For those familiar with the M116A3, what should I be looking for in terms of potential safety issues before I hit the highway on my return run? I assume the basics like...

    Missing handle on a M116A3? (PU-797 recovery)

    Hi Fellas. Need to take a nice little drive to Chambersburg to pick up a PU-797 soon. I need help identifying a missing handle for the landing gear/tongue jack. As this is my first unit on a trailer... I am kind of in the dark on what this handle looks like. I need to know crucial this is to...

    PU-797 recovery

    Hi Folks. Hopefully someone here can help me out. Just grabbed a PU-797 and the auction stated that I was missing a handle for the landing gear/tongue jack. I have never bought a unit on a trailer before, so can anyone tell me exactly whats missing here? Will I be able to stow this jack out of...

    Those look... expensive to fix. Sure are pretty though.

    Really? I wish these people could get their act together. Whether its GP, GL, etc... details are details. Of course they love to legally absolve themselves by contract with their legalese about not being responsible for typographical errors, site evaluations, etc. I hope folks willing to pay...
