How and where did you get that?!?! Lol

I had some time so put it together with spare junk. Thanks to Machinist75 (Mike) for cutting some of the M134 disk parts from steel plate! The gun works with joystick ( elevation and rotation). Trying to figure how to use propane like the replica 50 cals to make a firing sound. But ,not sure if I can get the flame pulses to propagate at 3000 rounds per second LOL. Maybe an old distributor and spark plugs in the barrel(s)?

This is pins located on crane and what each one does.
As far as I can tell L is ground and have no clue what k does.

What happens if you take wires from L and H and touch them to your tongue?

I too have been thinking of making my own remote control for the m977 crane, can't be that hard... I hope.

That's the original box the Jeep came in. He's trying to free up bed space.

It's a 60" from northern tools.

Did you use some original brackets to mount it or make your own? I haven't seen what the HEMTT uses for frame mounts. Are they like what's on the M939 trucks?

 

[Coffey1]

M939 truck box hangers Swamp.
All painted and looking good.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

I've got another another small box to hang too. I've got to round up one of those hangers.

Are you able to unload the pallets of block with the truck's crane?

 

[Coffey1]

Yes
