OK, so I found out the hard way what the little strips of flat stock held in place with two 3/4 bolts are for just above each outrigger... I had thought that they come out a whole lot further than they are supposed to! Nope - just to the end of the taper, like the TM pic - however one of the...

Yes Ron - you are correct, but a quick snip would sort that out! Conversion to 819 rear leg ends with seperate plates/pads would be the smart way to go, otherwise the larger 3D shape of the pad and leg would be awkward to stow.

I'm guessing that there aren't any Gasser or Multifuel 5 tons with 'Tube n Mesh' grilles and that 'Tube' grilles on M800's are the norm - from the factory, with stocked spares of slat grilles being used up as and when later damaged 800's needed a new one... Making it a legit mod. Inlight of...

M936 lockers RHS Just for giggles - here's the other side....

Out of boxey experience Havent wandered out to the truck to check this idea, but it may be possible to locate the long boom legs under the bed, one either side along the chassis rails, hung on brackets. This is where the M1A1 wrecker (Ward) stowed the ground spades - slid in from the back...

Keep going Big Jeff So - locker/stowage confusion can be debated elsewhere - one thought though, the TM revisions (black bar in side column) may have not totally been technically edited for subsequent correlation when changes ooccured.... BUT, we should get back to post thread and keep the...

so below deck but above the wheels? Not sure... just did a cross ref of the BII list to the locker diag, somehow I think there is something missing from the equation - things don't make sense..

Thanks Ron. While we are on the subject of more lockers - what was the intent of the TM layout that doesn't match the vehicle?... Perhaps a design change was needed but never implimented....

I have always loved these "Continental" tread parttern tyres, treaded bar gips - best of both worlds! But has anyone else tried a Gooble search for "Vintage" "Iron""MA" or even "Vintage Iron Truck parts"!!!! Hmmmmmpf! so, give us a clue re their contact please...

Evolution of wrecker bed How's this for ideas Jeff...

Wrecker mods.. Big Jeff - you go for it. I'd love to have a load more locker space on my 816. I'm used to the European syle military wreckers that have a ton more storage and all accessible from the ground. Fully accessorised with specific hooks and brackets to hold individual addapters...

1390 and 1290 are in same manual.

oops - cut n paste ... "Not so much". Try this.

Tired of patching my 'tube n mesh' grill I noticed in an old post an earlier style grill on a M816 - is this a "factory" left over or a later inservice mod or a civi 'upgrade' (since it's more solidly construction)? I notice the vise is also different. I'd like to have a similar grille/guard...

Hard to tell 'less I see it or you see a 1290. There are a few other models covered by that manual - slightly larger and also the 4x4 versions. Yours is the "newer" version of mine with the tip forward hood and higher positioned headlights (also in the manual), but looks the same for...

I have a manual for my 1290 Case (David Brown) which includes your model - not for sale as I need it, but if you need any info I'd be happy to scan and forward any pages / sections you need 'till you get your own. Have parts, operators and maintenance manuals. Go to the local IH/CASE dealer or...

... and if you use those wheels in the UK, you will drive miles from place to place, have 'construction' 500 yards ahead but buy petrol in litres! Then there is temp.... when it's cold, temps relative to 0C (freezing) seem appropriate to me, yet when it's warm I think in terms of 80's and 90's F!!

Try 3 sets of "spanners" Metric and SAE you complain - well some of us who have certain periods of British vehicles need a third and fourth sets - 'Whitworth" which is similar to SAE but not interchangable and "BA"... used for a lot of electrical components! Tried to 'splain metric to my...

another idea re anti theft, also shows 12v and 'Slave' recepticle.

That is how it is in the -10 diag though I don't think the reproduction scale makes that clear. I haven't hooked up a 12v +ve yet on my two cAt batteries yet, but that would be the way I'd go... Though I think I've read else where on here that 12v would be better obtained from an inverter...
