And, I wouldn't recommend leaving a shackle on it. That may mess with tire balance!
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
So what your plan when your out in the middle of no where with no phone service or instant answers on SS ?I'd guess field remedy. that was from a field manual- not the -10 TM all the old warhorses are bustin yer balls about though. stay safe buddy!
well I’ll solve that issue when it arises but I know who we can’t count on for help.So what your plan when your out in the middle of no where with no phone service or instant answers on SS ?
Or a major internet outage , I can see it now dead MV's everywhere until the internet is back up.
Well actually I carry a print out of some key things , like torque specs and some other things. I also have read all the TM's for my truck and 40+ years of working on heavy trucks and equipment I've learn a few things . But I have full service manuals for all my equipment , with the exception of my roadgrader , if I ever find a set for sale for it I will have it. Before the internet people actually learned to do things for themselves .well I’ll solve that issue when it arises but I know who we can’t count on for help.
Do you carry the TM or have you committed it to memory? And have you ever seen reference in there to the part in question or are you just trying to seem like you know everything (and unwilling to share) by spouting the same worn out line over and over?
Show me where I posted read the rules in the later part of this thread ( one of the many you have started that got merged) And if you read the rules it is within them to link the TM and section they information is in without spoon feeding someone who won't open a TM.Cool. Well i emplore you to read the site rules because they state that answering a question with “read the manual” is actually against the rules.
so you can’t find where this part is mentioned in the tm? Do you see how this side banter is totally futile and unhelpful? It’s a discussion forum so if you don’t want to discuss then, well, just don’t. Pretty easy.Show me where I posted read the rules in the later part of this thread ( one of the many you have started that got merged) And if you read the rules it is within them to link the TM and section they information is in without spoon feeding someone who won't open a TM.
Did you look in the parts TM ?so you can’t find where this part is mentioned in the tm? Do you see how this side banter is totally futile and unhelpful? It’s a discussion forum so if you don’t want to discuss then, well, just don’t. Pretty easy.
I’m not going to read it bro. I don’t need to learn how to install ambulance parts on my vehicle. If you can produce where this part is in the TM I’ll read the whole thing. Would that make you feel better? That’s the compromise I offer. Now, I won’t retain all of it because 98% of it seems to be totally dull, like exceptionally dull, and completely inapplicable to my life. So, bickering aside and getting back on topic what we have found out is that this part is known to be officially used as a strange sort of winch thing, and some claim that it was used for strapping down the rigs on trains.Did you look in the parts TM ?
Actually, I stand corrected, (gladly admit I was wrong) I went out and looked at the tie-down label that is on my trucks dash (lower passenger side) and there is no mention at all about using those brackets for rail shipment. I've seen them used like that though. Also, it is obvious that General P. Place has clearly never used the internet to research anything, especially grammar and/or spelling! LOL. Some old dogs never give up on this site- but I assure you friend- there are some Generals here that are top-quality caliber American men, perfectly willing to discuss and share knowledge for the benefit of fellow members. And they don't teach that in ANY TM.So you’re saying primarily it’s a shackle point for transporting? And the secondary function is a makeshift winch?
This item is a USMC thing. AM General put them on Marine Corps Humvees when they built them. If you are not sailing with your Humvee, you probably don't need this item.
