M880 series pic request...

[Elwenil]

Anyone have a pic of how the pintle is mounted and reinforced on an M880 or similar? Is it mounted in a frame cross-member or just mounted to the bumper with some brackets to add strength? I looked for the manual but either I'm blind or there isn't on on here. Thanks in advance!

Pintle is rotating type, almost idetical to cucv & humvee unit.

On the 880 the pintle is mounted where the license tag would mount on a civi truck.
the tag area has rienforcing plates and the bumber brackets have an added piece of angle iron for rigidity.
I will look for some pics
