    M817 Winch Destruction...the saga continues

    In the thread I linked, you can read what I did to replace my shaft. My shop was able to use the heavier wall tube. Do not damage the yoke that the shear pin goes through. They are not readily available. Most shops can modify a new yoke to work, if needed though.

    M817 Winch Destruction...the saga continues

    When one of mine failed from a simultaneous over speed and high shock load, it looked just like yours(triangulated break). The load pulled my cable out fast. I think mine also broke at about the same length. The driveshaft shop said the length was longer than the tube can support(based on its...

    Newbie Question on charging

    I would load test them next. Also clean all connections, including the ground at the frame. Check with a volt meter at the starter, for voltage.

    Your best option is to charge each one individually with a charger. No need to disconnect anything.

    M923a1 air brake question

    You can remove and plug an airline, to determine if that is the line with a part failure(downstream). Often you can hear the air in the line(flowing), or even feel it.

    How do I disengage air brakes?

    There is a newer version that has straight air brakes. The op did not specify which model he has. The newer version is not as common in the surplus sales. If the OP would reply(instead of all the others), we would know what he has or needs.

    How do I disengage air brakes?

    If you had an open mind, you would have read the TM(I linked), and you would have learned (as he needs to) that they do not have air brakes. You/he would also learn the maximum allowed tow speed, and how to safely operate the unit. All this is important information that he did not ask, but...
