    M936A2 wrecker 20k front winch

    well, i pulled the winding unit apart and the rollers were gummed up bad. after cleaning, i put it back together, but the washers (not the thrust washers) seemed to be pressing against the rollers causing a bit of binding. they were concave towards the rollers, so i turned them so the cave faces...

    M936A2 wrecker 20k front winch

    The rollers are not really free turning. I whooped on them with a brass hammer head and got them to “stiffly” free up. The zerks are corroded shut or broke, so i’ll be getting new zerks today, tear the unit down, clean, free up and lube everything and see about getting the mess of cable spooled...

    Wireless, or wired tow lights would be a legal work around to the 12 to 24 v issue.

    Rental truck to tow pintle equipment trailer with air brakes?

    have you tried enterprise rental? i was turning our pilot truck a few yrs ago and the drop off lot had airbrake equipped box and stake bed trucks for rent. un sure of cost, but I'm sure going from big city to big city, I'm sure it can be arranged for a 1 way drop, especially if the drop city has...

    cooling system spring cleaning

    Another good petroleum absorbing material is blown glass mats or pig mats. They wont absorb water, yet will soak up any petroleum product mixed in the water and will wick it away as more is absorbed. I replaced my hydro tank drain valve bc it was weeping, added in some stabilizer and serviced...

    m936a2 rear drag line winch

    Today, I replaced the drain cock for the hydro tank, which meant drain the fluid. I added 2 gal of Lucas hydro stop leak. I ran everything to get the Lucas through all the lines and motors. I got to the front winch and had issues with the drum lock, got that fixed and pulled all the cable out...

    What about hydraulic hook ups for the dump system? Tee off the front winch pto and plumb in the cab with a spool valve then out the back near the pintle? I was thinking of buying dump pup trailer and using that for small loads of rock and pull with my a2 wrecker.

    Wreckers: Do people buy them for hobby or use?

    Like you said, it’s just a recommendation. How many of us have used something or done something that mentions a 2 person minimum. 99.9% of all maintenance on our acft says “have helper” when performing said task. I was thinking of using a winch with a synthetic line for those elastic...
