The tow bar was a full kit designed to work with multiple military vehicles. It came with the mounts and pins along with brake lines, wiring, safety chains and shackles. It's actually a pretty slick set up but very heavy. The crate was 500 pounds and we had to use a forklift to load it in my...

They were all painted up... I think it was the red side but I can't remember for certain. It was the driver side. I will be headed up tonight and will double check when I get there.

Ok, thank you everyone for your help. I have another question that you may or may not have answers for. I went up and made the first leg of the trip. That consisted of getting the tow bar hooked up and moving it from the previous owners property. The tow vehicle was not able to make up up...

Unfortunately no handbrake. I may have someone get in for the down hill portions of the trip. The other fun part will be getting it in my yard once here, but that's a bridge we will cross when we get to it.

Will do. I plan on making it a slow trip home at a slow time of the day. There is a 3000 foot elevation drop on my way home and I don't want any craziness.

Thank you. I am going up to bleed them again before we tow it. It is close from the previous attempt but I'm not quite happy with the results.

Hello, I recently acquired an M817 that has been sitting for a couple years. I decided to being it home to work on instead of driving back one forth everytime I needed something else. I purchased an Oshkosh 80k tow bar kit and will be using a friends heavy truck with air brakes to bring it...

Nope, did you happen to get a direction of travel? I'm still looking for parts...

I know I should be posting this in a technical thread but you all have been pretty good at giving pointers so I thought I would toss it out in here first. Well, I spent the day working on the M817. I don't know that I gained any ground. I will definitely need a new overflow tank. Mine is...

I don't know much about what originally happened. It came with a property a gentleman purchased and he does not want it. It was said to have been driven to its resting spot which I believe because of how and where it is parked. The previous owner went to move it and it would not start. A...

I have downloaded all the service manuals now so I can take them with me. I went up and checked a few things out on it. The right fuel tank has been unhooked. Oil shows no contaminants and much to my surprise, the batteries seem good. My only main concern is coolant tank was empty and had...

Thank you for the information. I am waiting on the title before I go to the trouble of bringing it home. I am suspecting (hoping) the fuel shut off valve failed. I appreciate the information on the service manuals. I fully intend to go over this thing with a fine tooth comb, full service and...

Thank you! This one has defiantly proved to be more challenging to get home than past projects.

Hello and thank you for accepting me into the group. I am new to military vehicle ownership and will likely need a great deal of assistance in the near future from those in this group. I have wanted to purchase an M35A2 or some type of variant for some time now, I just never had the money at...
