Colt - I just found this thread. I had to rebuild the rear support leg on my M116A3 - don't see a big issue in cutting it down for the smaller tyres. All I'd do is punch out the roll pin, separate the two halves, cut off enough to make it the right height for you. Re drill new roll pin hole...

I did similar with mine :- https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/ground-anchors-for-winching.108345/page-4 post #77 This type off anchor ("Scotches") are much lighter to handle and they have a lot of positive down pressure where the standard wrecker ground spades have to be dug in and only...

This the bare bones design for my fly jib - good enough for roof trusses. - Length of fly jib, height of goal post and lengths of tethers should be proportional to your needs. I can measure my pieces later if that will help. Try a search in wrecker mods for fly jib - I think I did a similar...

I'd be interested to hear what controls you have that aren't in the TM's!!!

Yup - I did it for my M816 so I could place timber roof trusses over the "House Of Wrecker" (The "Cottage Name" slate my wife got me for a present) as I built a lean-too which was then where I am tearing it down for restoration. Don't know I still have any pics - previous lap top crashed...

That seems awfully "Heath Robinson" (cobbled together - can't remember the correct 'American' term). Wouldn't there be a 'bespoke' pin on a chain ? I looked in the TM but it's only for maintenance etc., not operation.

Got it - cheers. …………. shipping for that little thing is $20!

That is a photo I found. I need the whole lamp x 2. I'll try look through all my other pics to see if I have a close up. That lamp wasn't ever sold in the US as far as I know. Probably a Hella?

Wasn't me - came like that from DRMO 2 weeks ago. Lots had gotten clobbered inc front jack leg, hub cap missing, rear stabiliser bust, brake line crimped and split..... But yes, that's the part that got mangled. . Kinda got it straightened out - not too pretty but I think it will be...

Local NAPA found the HydroAct shock absorber - $220!!!!!

I need a pair of these - don't think that they are still available new... but one thing that seems to be hard to get is reproduction ADF rego plates - preferably the earlier white on black rather than the green on white. Even old civilian ones seem impossible - which could be used to copy...

Wow $122 for a new shock from Croft.... I think I'll keep looking, or bouncing.

M116A3 Surge brake grenaded! Damper took a hit too. Hopefully I can unpeel this lot and see how it was originally made. May have to cut out the whole center and re-man it. Issue will be making it the correct size to engage the spring retainer. I guess there's no "REPAIRING" the damper...

!st in line if you want to make more of the mod'd front valve covers!!!!! Please! Very clear and pro presentation of your project. Thanks for this thread.

Jatonka is just 30 mins form me - and I need stuff from down under for my RAEME M816. Perhaps we can help each other out???

Not sure how I should reply... Apples and oranges, exactly the time to defend rights.... What? Driving a Humvee amidst the Guard being on duty - not following directions when the director thinks you are part of a convoy or arriving somewhere where the Guard is expected but then not then being...

My wife does this job. Those boxes are homemade but offer some added protection, but they are all S**T scared as the hospital is about to get swamped by NYC transfers. Drs and respiration staff are getting hit bad. Now is not the time to run around defending what your rights are. If you are...

Thanks patracy - does this mean that the multiple item lots can be discussed by PM if some one posts "I only need 1 - but there are 4 on the pallet"... Or the combination in a lot that someone "only needs the trailer and is looking for someone who wants the tractor" etc?

... and you know why? The AARP has too big a loby therefore wrinckleys will always be exempt. There are at least 52 answers to this question, multiply by the number of other states you want to drive in, less the number of exemptions your state has as fasttruck said in post #6. It's your a$$...

Simple enough for me! Thanks a bunch, I'll have one done by lunch tomorrow, may even have some matching chain too.
