Jim- We are working a group by for SS members here: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&p=75405 I sent you a PM as well.

Looks good. Go for it!

Yep, we have at least 4, maybe 5, of the big towbars spoken for. Anyone else interested in 1 or 2 is invited to join in on the group buy. Just shoot me a PM.

I like the deuce the best!

It made a great weekend having a few different steel soldiers to drive. I took all of the trucks shown here (plus an M1008) out for "manuevers". L to R M1075 Palletized Loading System M911 Heavy Equipment Transporter M35A2 Deuce Cargo M52A2 5-Ton Tractor w/ M127A2C Semitrailer...

Bjorn, you have peeked my interest. I need to look into the tachograph on the M911 and see if I can find a key.

That deuce could be used to "convince" anyone! :-)

Looks good Rizzo. You need more camera time! How do you lock-in the front axle? Is that a mod or stock?

Have you tried looking in the operator's manual? Mine shows a good diagram on page 4-45.

RE: Put 1050 CA 875 CCA in mine but took some mods Check out interstate batteries website. They have specs on the 6TLs and other sizes too. Thanks to tips from other SS members, I was able to pick up 6 of the 6TL blems last week for $40 each. New ones are just over $100, but I think the 6TLs...

My dream is to have a step deck trailer set up with these aluminum ramps. Wouldn't that make things easy?

Right or wrong, I have backed up successfully with the medium tow bar. Not very far, but no damage reported.

Never tried to hook up the brakes on the duece. I figured the M911 could handle it! I look forward to doing some more towing with air lines soon. The tachograph is cool, but I need to set the clock. BTW, thanks for the tip on installing the tow bar adapters!

If you saw 3 sell on GL for $18K, then I paid too much! :-( Duece was priced at $6500, but I negotiated it down some.

DMA- I ordered them through O-Rings, Inc. (323) 343-9500. The order indicates the part number as "61 CL x .375 BN70". I went with a cheaper compound than the mil-spec. About 75% cheaper that way. I'm still looking for the valvestems if you find a source. I got some off ebay, but they are...

The duals were removed for highway use and loaded in the duece bed.

The M911 is approx. 9.5' wide, 12' high and 30' long. The companion trailer (M747) is 11.5' wide and 42.5' long. The M911 is very easy and comfortable to drive, although a bit loud. Hearing protection recommended.

I put my towbar to use for the first time with the M35A2. It pulled real nice behind the M911, keeping a speed just under 50mph. All the overpasses look low when riding in the HET, not the mention the fact that you can look over the top of most semi trucks.

No

I'll check to see what I have. If I remember correctly, the diameter of the o-ring is 19.5" with .375 cross section.
