Needed a way to carry a sizable tow bar for recovery of the heavy rigs when they can't be fixed on the spot. It can be a long pull back to the trailer from a parade route or off road in the field. Needed a stowage bracket for the trailer electrical cable- attached early style model to the...

Snowed in winter weekends provided more time for "Little Stuff" upgrades to the M916A1. Have taken a lot of ideas from the later A3 model and added them on to the A1. The tire change last year to 14:00 X 20's left a little Michelin sticking outside the front fenders. The rubber fender flair...

Zebedee -Will soon add to the "M916A1 Little Stuff" post with the spare and other recent changes.

What's the story, is someone offering them for sale? Always sorry I missed out on the Hummer inflatables with the heat source for the infrared signature. Would be lots of fun for those of you reporting HOA problems--What tank, where????

Night and day difference with the bigger rubber- dry road, snow or mud. Couple "hot" weather shots here- lots more on 5 Ton Mod Forum-look under M916A1.

-12f Detroit 60 and flat head Studebaker both running well at -12F. Weasel was needed to get out a 3/4 trailer for a tire pick up run Good thing got at it on the weekend: was -20F this AM and more snow.

Excellent paint- they have worked hard at getting a good color match between both their spray cans and their gallon cans. Makes it easy to do quick little jobs and touch-ups with the spray, and have it blend in well with the existing paint. I've been using a HVLP gun on a turbine (TIP) for years...

Matt, The aluminum ramps look great and make me think that the years of "character building" I've been through with the steel version should be reconsidered. Can you tell us more about their dimensions, lip strength at the place they hook on, and the supplier. I think I saw them as part of your...

Yea, they have been on back order for a while though....

Tachograph supplies, including keys and paper, are available at e-power www.e-powerinstruments.com. I've had good service from them. The common models on our FMVs do have a control to adjust the setting of the "over speed" light. Now don't go setting it too high! Some models have an adjustment...

UP-DATE - Speedometer Correction Increasing your tire size always leads to disappointing speedometer readings. No fun to be going faster at a given RPM and have the speedometer not tell you so. Help is available for the cable driven units with a little gear box made by Clark Brothers. Take...

Yup, the A3 valve is quite different- if there was lots of room, and pliable hoses, you could replace the A1 style with one. Not the case, so a good next step would be to decide where you want your new control valve to mount- would recommend inside the "tower" with handle coming through the...

DS -- The front winch is a hydraulic 20K from a 5 ton. Check out the link in the first post on this thread (M916A1-w-w). With your hydraulics still on board it would be a natural for your large white truck. Just a chance question- do you still have the rear winch direction plate that is mounted...

All good advice, DS is correct that the winch brake mechanism is internal to the winch, with just a small return (drain) line running from the winch housing. The late model A3 trucks have a boost valve with a second position to send pressure to the auxiliary fittings. You indicted that the...

Couple of questions...am I correct in assuming that you are planning to run a hydraulically operated disconnect trailer behind your M916A1? If so, where will you be setting up to operate the controls? Basic existing set up on the truck is as follows--- When you turn on the dash PTO switch, the...

Couldn't agree more about 55 as a sweet speed. Certainly plenty fast on two lane black top with a load behind. Been having that as a top speed goal during years of pushing all sizes MV's up that far, usually with help from an overdrive or rear end swap. Was curious about the RPM at 55 in your...

Tough trailer to find-good job in getting one to pull with the M916. How well does the winch set up work in lifting the trailer up and locking it into the 5th wheel? Always see lots of dents in the approach ramps on the tractors. You indicated a 55mph cruising speed in driving out bobtailed...
