Hello from Wisconsin!
I need some information from the military surplus genius' on this page!
I recently bought a 5 ton wrecker bed and need to know a few things about it. I would like to know the model and year range, also if anyone knows anything about how the hydraulic system is set up on this unit that would be great. I will be heavily modifying it to be used as a civilian wrecker/ towing unit. I will be mounting it on an 03 international 8100 and need to know what the specs are for the pump mounted on the wrecker bed. I would like to plumb it up to the pto pump on the truck for simplicity reasons, anyone know what the pump output and max psi are? Also am wondering what the size of the drag winch are, was told it was a 60,000lb unit but have seen most on the net are 45,000lb units. One last question, I will be needing to add a few winches and a hydraulic underlift to the system, this bed has an extra hose and port on the return manifold under the rotating piece, assuming this would normally go to the self recovery front mounted winch. Thinking this would be the spot to add my hydraulic spools for the underlift stiff legs and winches! I will attach pictures Thanks in advance, if any additional pictures are needed to identify things let me know!
