    M1070A1 & M1000 Walkaround

    M1070A1 & M1000 Walkaround

    air down the rest of the tires, and ride low on your deck height. that should fix, for the most part, hitting power lines. while pulling a bobtail truck that went down on the highway to san Antonio (static displays of a Bradley and M1 for the PGA tour) we went under a bridge. the fresh air box...

    M1070A1 & M1000 Walkaround

    that is one of the improvements I had suggested for the A1s when I was at Oshkosh previewing/testing them; roller guides for the winches. We use the tanker bar to guide the main winch cables in, and have at least 1 person pulling against the cable to provide tension. I had a weird load once. we...

    The worst is loading a Kalamar! They suck. I would much rather back an M1000 on to an M1000 and haul that load.

    M1070A1 & M1000 Walkaround

    Yes. We have had them pop back in to gear while getting from link count and hooked up, had 1 soldier lose both legs above the knee. I've been training soldiers for 6 years. I thought we could share experienves. "As iron sharpens iron" is kinda the goal I was thinking of

    Actually it's easy to work on. I can have the engine pulled in a day. It's when the armor is added that it makes it almost impossible to work on.

    M1070A1 & M1000 Walkaround

    I don't think so. There was a MILPER message/FRAGO that was published back in 2011 that stated the Bob tail and the trail or were to be a married unit, once coupled they are not to be separated unless required for PMCS or maintenance. I can tell you the steering wheel is smaller and you can dry...

    M1070A1 & M1000 Walkaround

    The steering wheel is smaller, the cab has A/C and its not an after thought. Your right about that hose, it's an egr componet. The 1070 has the same hose. The stack is moved back so it's easier to armor the cab. Part of the frag kits is a storage box above the spair tire. The storage box next to...
