Slick. That's some major investment. But again: VERY slick! What drove you to do all the homework and shopping to make all this happen?

Just answered my own question here after real brief reflection: - It IS a wrecker after all!!

Whoa! That is some serious hardware. Nice. How "in the name of Sam Hill" would you ever pull those anchor pins OUT of the ground, after driving them in?!

That's a bonus: - No payment for any consulting fee! You're already winning. This project is off to a GREAT start!!

I always wondered what the heck that expression meant...and now I get it it. Thanks for the lesson, Csm Davis!

Oh, Man, sure would love to see THAT pic: - For some reason not all the pics are visible (or open when you click). Aw, shoot...

Your rig looks great (as always), red. [thumbzup]

???

Is there any licensing tied into work like that; or if you got the equipment can you just have at it?

Is there any particular reason for that; like did you do Australian service?

How did you work the radius around the sheet metal; hammer it, in sections, around a post?

No, no; you got me all wrong, 73m819; no head game going on here. It's just my own confusion. I just totally mis-read what you were saying because I wasn't paying attention (even though all the clues WERE there). Don't mind me. I get stupid sometimes. My apology. DOH! :doh::beer:

Ohhh.... "states". Yeah, it's a verb AND a noun. Got it!

What's the "20-22 states" comment mean, 73m819: - Are you talking about passing a national resolution?! "It will be illegal, subject to fines and prison-time, to get your wrecker stuck in a mudhole if it weighs more than 1/3 the pulling capacity of any other wrecker located in that same state...

For "that day": Get the business card of somebody with one of THESE suckers:

Thanks for the explanation. "Trusty Rusty 816": - That would make a great name for a thread! [thumbzup]

Wait, that tank is just the oil bath for the winch gearing; right? I just now figured that out. :roll: The drive comes from the sprocket at the opposite end of the chain. Still, hard to tell; PTO or hydraulic?

Thanks for the pic. I can't tell from looking at it if that winch unit is hydraulic, or PTO-driven. I'm guessing by the drain plug under the tank feature (tied to the chain-drive), that is IS hydraulic. But I've guessed wrong a lot before. What kind of drive is behind the winch?

:funny: We'll turn the light out for you if the 819 goes to dust (and we're not already dust ourselves).

I always thought the chamfering was standard on these kinds of pins (and probably for the reason you mention). All the pins I see have the shoulders eased like that. But the ones I run across are usually 3/8" or less, and that might have something to do with it.
