And here's a video! Watch "M246 720 degrees" on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlCUnLX2ukI&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Had a chance to do some work with the crane! Also, removed the swivel limiter which allows a continuous 360* rotation, and extended the 3rd boom out to obtain max length! A word of caution when rotating 360* and having the boom raised at 45*, the short glad hand hose stand springs tend to hook...

Nice looking truck, glad you found one! 400 miles in a deuce is a very long day with stopping for breaks and fuel, maybe 11 hrs. I have made the Fl to the Georgia Rally trip straight through (450 miles) and that's a 13 hr day, Fatigue can set in after about 6 hrs (in a deuce) and that becomes...

Don't forget the bogie suspension pivots!

What a great trailer! What are the dimensions of the bed?

I want to find a 24v washer motor to use with the a3 wiper push button knob. Hey, that flame heater motor might work!

How many troops there? I invision them laying out everywhere on the floor!

Ya, a pneumatic grease gun from harbor freight comes in handy when doing this, let us know exactly how many zerks You find.

Yes Robb, a Mack!, and she's a great runner! The said deuce was set on fire late 2010 after the GR in 2010, there is a thread on it somewhere, the truck had a "convoy follows" sign behind the cab. I was getting ready to scrap this truck out when the wrecker hose blew!

Do you have the deuce top and bottom curved mirror brackets, the ones that wrap around the exsaust?

Cool!! Here's a few pics. [ATTACH]

Well its together and fully operational! No leaks! Had to get a little creative when it came to filling the hydrolic oil reservoir, no way to use a funnel and dump out of a 5 gal bucket, this pneumatic barrel pump does 5 gal in about 2 minutes. This was my first experience working on hydrolics...

Today I'm going to buy some more hydrolic fluid, refill the reservoir and test, I'll be glad to have this thing back up and running! On a side note, all of the hoses save one that come off the swivel head are standard npt. Here's a reference pic of the obsolete ermeto fitting.

Because they're all hooked up!

Tell us about your vehicles!

When you look under the crane you see no hanging hoses underneath, you know why??

Ouch! May be able to find a good used engine, might be cheaper and easyer.

Ok! Finally getting around to reassemble! In the beginning when searching for new hydrolic hoses, i went to a local hydrolic house where I was quoted $800.00 for the 7 replacement hoses needed! Thanks to whoever posted the link in this thread for "Surplus Center", the 7 hoses from them totaled...

Welcome from sanford vandrel! We have a few events coming up in the central Fl area and hope to see you there! Good luck on the search for your m923!

Yes, all of the hoses underneath are npt.
