Here is what I had. After engine start I had the red highway selection light flashing with no air venting or relay cycling clicking from the pneumatic control unit under the front winch control. It would flash for about 15 minutes and then all five selection lights would flash at the same...

This one led me to my solution. Chapter 3

Talked myself in the fix. Adjusted the governor up to about 128 psi. Right at about 123 psi the CTIS system came alive!! The system quickly brought up all 6 tires to the the wrecker's 80 psi. I still have to fix a leaking rear rim o-ring but the system held the leaking tire at 80 psi with no...

TM says 3-207. AIR GOVERNOR MAINTENANCE (Contd) c. Testing NOTE Whenever governor is tested, instrument panel primary air gauge is used. 1. Start engine (TM 9-2320-272-10) and allow air pressure to build to normal operating range. NOTE Engine speed must be adjusted to 1,275 rpm before...

Filters are in good shape. Here is the Baldwin filter part number for the air dryer if anyone needs it.

I have had an inop CTIS system since I got the M936A2 a few months ago. Went through the troubleshooting guide in the TM's and found my problem. The wet tank is not building up to more than 70-75 psi. The wet tank never gets up to the CTIS's pressure switch's 85 or so psi so the CTIS...

Jeepsinker, I know the Scholers well. And I know which barh you are taking about now. That guy has moved but along with Frank belongs to the MVCC

No that's not me. I don't remember anyone in the club that had a deuce or 5 ton marked with a star. Might have been here before I got here 14 years ago.

That engine would make a great dynamic display. Very compact and light. It didn't have a stater/generator on it when the club got it or we would have put it on a stand our self and tried to start it. Turns freely. The helo was used for a maintenance trainer so all the engine to gearbox...

There are 6 steel plates stacked behind each end of the bumper. Can't see them weighing more than 300 lbs each side.

It will never fly again. Should be restored to something better than concrete pad duty. At least now it will be inside.

A few more. Also rewound about 50 feet of the front winch line while I had a nice resistance to pull.

Here is a series of pictures that shows the comparison of two nice looking wreckers. M816 vs M936A2. Not a whole lot of difference until you look at them from the front.

The Guard guys who loaded it up and delivered it said with all the missing parts mostly heavy radios it weighed about 1500 lbs. Lots of instruments missing also. It does have the turbine engine it. Had I should say, check out what the museum guys did in less than a half a day. Interior and...

The thing weighed about 1500 lbs as it sat and didn't tax the wrecker at all. Also it was a straight aft lift. We discussed the stabilizers but waved them off.

Try it again. Forgot to hit "publish" on the YouTube page

Comes up on another computer I have. Will investigate.

Over the weekend I loaded the Military Vehicle Collectors of Colorado's OH58 Kiowa for transport down to the Pueblo Air Museum where it will be well taken care of. Here are some pics and a link to a YouTube video. http://youtu.be/WuSHqDG0MZM

Here is the switch I used. Works well. http://www.eriksmilitarysurplus.com/aireltosw32.html

Here is the one that wasn't working out of my M936A2. If you are talking the bulb (probe) it ends approx 1&1/2 inches from the base of the main unit. This is an Evans unit.
