    M936 New hydraulic hoses and a little paint on wrecker bed!

    Jeff, My records show it received in Hammond, La. on 4-18-85 with 107 miles on her, it was inspected on 4-24-84. There is almost one year and 107 miles that I cannot account for. I would call the base and ask Doug but I know he was not there at that time. Warren

    M936 New hydraulic hoses and a little paint on wrecker bed!

    nf6x, brianrbull, I have not seen one either ,but I have one. I do not plan on putting it back on for now, if I do I will take it apart and completely redo it. The bad part is if you trailer it, it is over the height limit unless you have a super low boy. It doesn't get that cold in south La...

    M936 Switch

    I am cleaning the M936 I recovered and am just about ready to check out the crane, I read the TM several time on the operation and viewed all the diagrams to insure I don't mess anything up. I found this switch but don't know what it does, I can't find any rocket launchers under her so it can't...

    What is this bottle on a M923?

    My 936 has a dryer on the passenger side frame in front of the rear wheels, does this mean I could remove the bottle? It would make a good start for adding windshield fluids with a small pump and some tubing. I have to change the control box and I will remove the brackets and all items that go...
