i i too looked for it, in the trailer tm section, which i didn't see it listed as M989A1, just the regular M989. I too thank you @simp5782 I'm hoping to pick up this type trailer in my area in a few weeks and wanna do some research, esp the weight bc I'm gonna have to load it on my trailer if...

An input the pilot didn't make. Sometimes that could contributed to an AFCS (automatic flight control system) computer issue, or in the case of our's yesterday, grit and or petroleum collection. Excess grease from the last time the pedal boxes were lubed was not cleaned up. A bit of dirt got...

of cut away from your body. i was told many yrs ago, cut towards your buddy, not your body. unless your fingers are in front of the blade, which mine end up a good bit of time, and my hand takes a beating from edged objects

not true. in this particular topic of restraint devises, if safety restraints prevent a crew member from doing their assigned duties, they don't have to wear the restraint device, which is the exception to the rule/reg. its in part 91, which is why i said thank goodness for part 91. in addition...

to a point. i pick my battles and sometimes suffer with pain, but sometime, i can't perform my job if I'm restrained. thank goodness for part 91 and the seatbelt/shoulder harness regulation.

what is the diameter and spline count? i took a shaft to get the carrier bearing and while i was there, u-joints replaced and had them rebalance the shaft bc the elastomeric between the 2 metal rings for the balancer was starting to rot and come apart, so they removed the balancer to get it to...

yep, i can attest to seatbelt on several occasions where i wouldn't have gotten injured. just last sat, we were ferrying from 1 location to another. i was walking back to check the maint panel prior to landing and we hit enough turbulence to lift me off my feet and then send me to the cabin...

my dad survived a rollover in an r model mack hauling a load of lime in a dry bulk tanker, just after i was born. the cab was crushed on the driver's, down to the steering wheel, and a bit further, bc it bent the column down and had him pinched between the seat, column and the brake peddle. he...

i had a similar issue, when i had the wife turn the water hose to flush the system. it exceeded the psi and started leaking at the tanks. i tq checked the hdwr to find some were loose, so i retorqued the hardware, still didn't fix the leaking and the radiator shops in my area looked at like i...

Yea, i wouldnt want to be the guy that helps ruin it for the rest of the folks. if i could find a civilian 15-20 ton crane truck with 6x6 abilities, id get rid of both my 936s. But dang that 936 cut loading time from 4 hrs, down to 20 min after getting the outriggers in place.

I'm betting hooking my civi goose neck and recovering trees for cooking and other wood related whatnots probably wouldn't be covered under the fmv side. i got it for hobby/farm use, but since my land in east tx is 1 mile past the 150 radius, that legally precludes me from going there. but iv...

op operation of the truck to go get groceries, or whatever my wife would use her car for, even to commute to work, but not for business? when i talked to the lady at motor veh registration, when i did the title xfr, i was told no insp for fmv and no tags issued, just a card i had to keep...

in the military, for some reason, every 400 hrs, the rig was out if certain people did the rig prior to it coming in for heavy maintenance. it took us 30 hrs one time to get a 47d in rig bc the 2nd stage mixing was out and had to disassemble the mixing unit, which was a PIA. we burned 100 gal...

Cyclic, aka stick (center of pic) used for forward, backward and sideways flight, yaw pedals (foreground of pic), below the dash, used to point the nose left or right and the thrust (lower left) used for up/down, receive manual input which is transferred to the flt closet , where metal tubes...

and its not just helicopters. fixed wings also have to be rigged. but rigging is even messed with on these military truck we own. similar concept, but the manuals call it "adjust turn buckle/connecting rod" to the, lets say, crane pto lever for the wreckers. or the clutch to adjust it, but...

dang, that is cheap per op hr on a 53. our 47Ds i think are billed out around $8,000/hr yes, rigging is a nightmare at times, but i got good at it on the 47s. 60s though, nope, have no inclination to rig a 60 again. at least we don't have to rig the ECLs to our engines, compared to the 53s. but...

Im located between waco, tx and temple, tx. as of now, i have a 1 ton dually, 20' 12k (9k useful load) bp and a 30+5 24k (17k useful load) gn trailer and will my 936a2 up hopefully soon, but NO tow bar. i wouldn't charge anything, but donations ;) are welcome, depending the distance it needs to...

if this is not the correct location, please let me know where to post my question. for those whom have registered fmv in texas, especially 5 tons, what type of registration did you do with and did you have to get a DOT inspection before registering it? there are 3 choices, fmv, which is cheap...

does anyone know whom to talk to about finding paperwork on perviously purchased fmv? i bought a running crane and spare parts crane. i talked to the OP and he said i gave the paperwork to ole' so and so that i bought the trucks from. he tells me, no, the op still has the paperwork, and back and...

Fabulous idea. i didn't think about that. i got a bigger tractor with the rear hyd hook ups several yrs ago, and have yet to use them. now thats thinking outside the box.
