Well - that would be a 'get you by', but seeing as I am recreating an actual inservice mod'd wrecker - it's gotta be what it's gotta be. Stowage of seperate halves would be a suitable and real world option in any other instance, that's how I did the 'mother of all towbars' (M88), I fitted to the...

Before grinding, the legs didn't meet by about 12-13", probably 8-10 degrees. Going to try to get them to meet with the minimum of the collar being removed - hence the blue marker and constant reassembly to create witness marks for further grinding. Will have to add a little to allow for...

So, installing towbar on side of M816, I found that the inservice welded collars mod, stops the two legs closing for stowage.. Anyone else have this situation? Gonna have to 'caress' the collars a little.

He was a great guy, helped many as admin said above. changed my avatar the moment I heard about his passing. There's plenty to read in his posting on here. He lived for the 'green crap' (my wifes description of my sickness), anything wreckers, lifting, rigging, modifying but always towards...

Er, price?

Multiple of the same (USA) or different? Personally, I think a correctly placed, single US flag looks more poinient/respectful, more than one look like a carnival float, not a military vehicle. If you are doing an all services display of flags, as mentioned before, the US flag "should" be...

Funny..... I have driven in quite a few parades and I have noticed that I am always the only one that sticks to "The Flag Code"... ironically, I am a damn foreigner!

Anyone have any leads on a Humvee tacho drive unit?

Mwa ha haaa... Retaining wall in garden and repair to barn bridge.

Gave the old girl a bit of a workout this week... Mafia blocks - 16 x 4' + 3 x 2'. Two days earlier. 20 used oak crane mats - 16' x 4' x 8".

Yeah - kinda easy to miss this thing!

Did you see tires on big lowboy in display area?

Yeah - I'll bring them... found 3 more too. Will take first with cash for min of 4 (choise), others seperately after that for $45 ea.

I have a set of 900 x 16 NDCC 'bar grips', 2/3+ wear left I would like to sell. $250 or best offer. LMK before I load trailer! [ I have found a set of new'ish "Continental" bar grips for my 1 tonne Land Rover that will be replacing them, as more 'period correct'. ]

Not sure I can help but would like to. Always looking out for trailers - especially gen set ones!! I'm located in central NY, have space and lifting ability... when do they need to be picked up? I am headed to Gilbert PA for next weekends show with M916A1 and M870A1.

I have fab'd one for moving mil trailers with various cars/pickups.. only thing to really worry about is the appropriate amount of nose weight so that the 'tail doesn't wag the dog'.

Find a nice little shop out of the city. Never had tyres looked at for any vehicle in NY!

Why do you need a 20,000lb winch for a car trailer? Seems like way overkill to me, even dragging totally siezed pickup wouldn't put up that much fight.

Just incase anyone missed what went on in France last week... Astonishing Huge D Day Armored Convoy Leaves Camp (youtube.com)

Where's your table? ... looked all over, didn't see LR wheels.
