Looks Great. I am trying to paint the wrecker bed and crane boom on my 936, I hope it comes out near as good! Thanks for the pics, maybe my A3 will be next!
More pics on paint project and hose changes. I am making some new blocks for the hydraulic lines, I need to cut them in half and drill the holes for the support brackets.
The floor in the gondola will be cut out and a new plate welded in, instead of drilling holes in the corners I think I am...
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.

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...
I am in the process of changing some of the hydraulic hoses and adding a little paint on the wrecker bed.
The hoses on the crane are a must change, they are about to blow. My cousin is a crane mechanic and he made the hoses for me for a few cases of beer[thumbzup]! What a deal.
I don't like...
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...
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...
Drum Valves
The small plug on a 55 gallon metal drum is 3/4" pipe threads and all sorts of connections can be made or bought for this use. Granger, Home Depo, Hardware stores ect.
The Semi
The semi was used to recover the 931 from camp Shelby, it was also used to haul the 931 to Hammond to pull the wrecker out the hole it was in. The reason being I could not get insurance on the 931 before my scheduled pickup. My intention was to pull the wrecker out to where I could...
Picked up the M936 today from Hammond to Covington, La. today. Made it home ok but it was a long day, the truck was sitting for 4 years and in a mud hole no less. I brought the M931 I picked up from Shelby 2 weeks ago (Great Truck) to pull it out the mud hole where we could work on it, no dice...
