    Winch cable

    You will almost NEVER find a fiber core on a crane, the fiber core is used where MORE flexibility is needed, like going around small snatch block sheaves

    Who Bought Those Oshkosh MK-48s???

    You guys that had us put together the units so they could be loaded, need to make sure the drive line connection is timed as well as adding bolts and torquing the bolts, pulling the #2 axle struts used with single unit FPUs, as stated before we are doing what is needed to facilitate truck load...

    Role reversal

    AT one time it was suggested that I might DRIVE the CRANE TRUCK to Tims La. rally, guess I would have made it 4 miles. so much for a drive to La.

    The 915 I drove for Ziggy would do 65 easy, work to get to 70, that is till I sucked the tank dry and craped up the filters, then a job to get to 65, got dead on 6 mpg

    Who Bought Those Oshkosh MK-48s???

    Pete, they ALL only have two batteries, I checked some of the batteries, most had a 09 date even though they looked new, I think if I had one of these trucks, I would just throw a pair 8Ns in if I had to replace the batteries

    Who Bought Those Oshkosh MK-48s???

    ZZ4x4, if thay send a standard flatbed, it will be a toss up if it is allowed to load or not, MAKE SURE thay send at least a stepdeck, as far as unloading goes, just put a cucv cross ways behind the trailer, as you back across it, it will form a ramp as it crushs down

    AIRMASTER Brake Booster

    The bad thing about that system is when it is set, the brake system will be UNDER pressure 100% of the time, only on RELEASE will the pressure be dumped. Hyd. brake systems are not designed for continuous pressure only intermittent APPLIED pressure

    Who Bought Those Oshkosh MK-48s???

    YEP, I loaded that first thing WED morning, ran out of time Tues. You will notice the high/low shift is real tight, takes a bit to to shift from H to L, other then that needing a slave off [thumbzup], I had it running about a 1 1/2 hr. before load, so maybe that charged the batteries enough to...

    NEW FL. MK48s

    One more thing to REMENBER, just because in the GL. description SAYS STARTS and RUNS, DOES NOT mean you walk up to the unit, twitch your nose, it starts. WHAT GL. means is that you go down the row, try each unit until you find one that starts, then take the RUNNING unit TO the unit that you need...

    NEW FL. MK48s

    These trucks are NOT even next to the trailer, a row of FPUs and row of RPUs (trailers), so ALL need to be put together which means finding the A unit then finding the B unit then doing the MATING dance. WM and I just got back from facilitating the load out of a bunch of the first batch...
