I know a simple "yes" would have sufficed - but I thought I'd show you how I found the answer...

I went the other way.... Will eventually get a radio (+ speakers) for the '16A1 but for recent maiden voyage I used my personal satelite radio, external aerial and a small pair of in-ear head phones. I guess ear buds would work too. Unfortunately mounted the radio a little low, so had to let...

Making a hook for my 5th wheel as per Bii... Wasn't going to photo or dimension but then thought there may be others that need one - assuming that these weren't used much and probably dosposed of when the wing nut on the keeper broke, so doubt any of these came with the vehicles. Probably...

Ha ha... yes I guess so! I think I saw you and your wife drive by when I was between 5 tons nattering, but lost track and forgot to look around for you later near the Chevys!

Great weekend at Augusta. Thanks Scott and company (inc CAPT goldplated golf cart - who kept on trying to swap it for my truck - nice try!) for a well run show. Appologies for bugging out Sun am - 4 hr trip and work Mon etc...., and I thought convoying with those from the Gt White North was a...

Just got this for the Show Ground zip code off of NOAA. I'm camping (tent) so will be packing warm! Thursday Night Partly Cloudy Low: 33 °F Friday Chance Showers High: 63 °F Friday Night Chance Showers Low: 43 °F Saturday Chance Showers High: 66 °F Saturday Night Mostly Cloudy...

I looked at the vendor list but nothing sprang to mind..... Is the "Padlock guy" going to be in attendance? I'll also be looking for a 3900 antenna. May have some "Crosby" shackles; 1/2" - 1" to sell 1944 US W Monarch (water/flip top) Jerry Can - best offer.

Wet line kit for trailers Comparing schematics, it seems simpler than I had imagined.... Can someone please advise on the type of quick connect fittings that are used.

John, that is a really nice job - 10/10 for engineering. NEXT project!... I want to put remote lines for trailer hydraulics - a 'wet line kit' if you will onto mine, for a detatchable lowboy. Would you think the same 'T'ing' points would be appropriate? I will have to pull the cover off of the...

John... Thanks - didn't realise JT was so up todate!!!!! No offence John! My PC didn't like the 1000+ TM, I guess it's getting a little full with all the others! Liberated manuals had some as well. A1... hence the title of the thread! ; ) Artisan - no point in me downloading then...

I feel like this is a silly question BUT..... Looking for maintenance TM's ( -20 & -34) for the M916A1. Not found on flea-bay, either motors or books search ( -10 yes). Could not find here in the TM section - yes I looked. Could be current issue, only for a while though, they're using A3's...

Awesome - thanks guys. Now back to some serious reading!

I am having problems opening any of these Towing TM's from the third page of Misc TM's in the TM forum. "Network Error"... 'Tech savy' Mods please advise (NB - TM's on page three are ok):- TM9-4910-496-10.pdf TM9-4910-496-10 Military Vehicle Towbar Manual and operation. FM21-305ch22.pdf...

Robo - Jeff has a great idea though you may have to make your own rigid bar that has one end that will only pivot left/right. That would mate to the center swivel in the whiffletree. This was done back in WWII with the M1 Ward laFrance and Kenworth wreckers. The whiffletree usually stays on...

Can anyone tow a 916 from MD to NJ show for me?? tried to delete... Can't. >: ( So I guess I'll see you there!

Like the mod. Only down side I can see will be all the "You put an 18 speed in there! Wow. How did yuh do that?", comments. I went for the simpler transfer lever extension... came across a load of spare knobs - had to do something with em!

Back on topic:- Just thought... there is room off to one side of the 'hump' in the bottom, between it and the frame end, to mount and stiffen either a pintle or the slot you are after. If done on the passengers side it would give you a better view down the side of the trailer... Some of...

The detail in the top left of pic in post #18 is from the -10 FM for the 809 series 5 ton (operators manual), also covered in the towbar TM; 9-4910-593-12&P, in FM 20-22 Vehicle Recovery Ops and FM 4-30.31 Battlefield Damage Repair... All of these were in the Misc part of the TM section of this...

Alternative, permanent mount idea to posts # 3 & # 5 . (Robo - I added a piece of the TM showing the "two leg thingey") We also have to understand the purpose of the intended hitch: Nosing trailers - strength not important - rolling resistance to be assessed, likely minimal. Towing...

Ron made a good observation - the stock bumper isn't that strong. I split mine while shunting in the yard when I backed past a 4"x4" post, just catching the edge. Post did not break and the bumper split on the bend... Must have been a bad repair in the past...
