Check out the first few Towbar photos you can see the Safety Chain hanging under the towbar. I agree it is mandatory to have Safety Chains in any towing situation.

I wonder what people where thinking as they were passing me along the way???

As requested photos of my Towbar setup.. They are 2 inch receiver tubes and trailer ball hitches turned on there sides. All bought from Harbor Freight.

Yes, I got the Forklift a few months ago (Tire is now flat) with a motor nock. the plan was to get it over to our overhead crane to pull the engine. BUT when the rollback dropped it off in that exact spot I didn't realize that I can not steer it without it running so I can't just drag it to the...

I use a Medium TowBar, I'll take some photos of the brackets I fabricated up to use the 1inch (Deuce/5-ton) Feet. It is 2wheel drive so I have to unbolt the drive-shaft from the rear-end and strap it up under the truck. It can be set up and towed in 15mins or so.. Garrett (Jeepsinker) the...

All is well I got home just before dark. No major hiccups along the way, One head light is out and a few of the interior gauge lights bulbs are missing. I will spend some time over the next few days looking it over taking care of the little things. I am going to start a thread for it on clean...

That Guy (The Green Chevy Truck) was riding my "Tail Lights" the whole way back I tried to loose him but that one is crafty..

I plan on leaving around 2am Sunday morning 1-18-15 headed to Jeepsinkers (Ft Polk) from San Antonio TX and Head back with the M936a2 Wrecker. Route is I10 to Lake Charles and then up 171 and Back. It shows around 5.5 hours (normal truck) so with any luck get there around 730am. I would...

bump for the morning, See you guys at at the IHOP at 2634 SW Military DR. San Antonio, TX 78224 at 0745

Spare parts???? anything good laying around in the mess.. I could use a set of Spades or some BII......

I Agree with what todds112 said, removing the C-D wire should kill all the gauges, CTIS, Horn, Ect.. It ,may not turn off the truck if the shut-off solenoid does not lose power. I am not sure if the shut-0ff solenoid is powered by the off-run-start switch or or the master power switch. Added...

I bought these http://www.delcity.net/store/Solenoid-Switch-!-SPST-24V-100A-Insulated-Continuous/p_743395 The important part is to tell the counter person you want a "Continuous Duty SPST 24V Relay/Switch " minimum of 75amps

No problem, I also am going to stay out of the weather tomorrow... See everyone on the 17th..

I wouldn't worry about a 5-ton or FMTV wheel on the front of a M916-920 as far as strength but (they also require clearancing of the front brake drums), and the offset on them are a bit further in than the HEMTTs so they track a bit narrower. HEMTTs on the rear track a bit to narrow...

Looking closer at your photos, you may also have a problem with some of the LOCK WASHERS on the wheel hub they look to be flared out a bit and overhanging past the outer edge of the hub. They should not do that, they maybe catching the wheel and not allowing it to pass by and come off. Also a...

It will clear it's just tight with any paint buildup or if someone went a little over board with the silicone on the hub. when I remove wheels on any M939a2 truck it is much easier to align the CTIS fitting on the hub to the 6 O-Clock position (straight down) so it is not in the way, and the...

I went to the truck yard yesterday, Spoke with the owner, we are good to visit on the 17th. They open at 9:00AM (I already claimed a nice 915 bumper/grill guard and at least 2 915 series "CCC" emblems.) I am not throwing in the towel for this Saturday the 10th yet but it's not looking good...

Was it a Nice truck with a little boom on the back?? Thanks again Garrett for the recovery...

I bid at Scrap or Parts value if there is any doubt on the trucks condition (Make sure you include any fees, taxes and recovery charges for a non-running truck).. If someone else previewed it and knows something you don't they will probably outbid you, but at least you don't put yourself in a...
