    LMTV Self Recovery Winches

    I wasn't smart enough to see that... I used the sheet about a month ago to get the right filters. Had planned to say thank you and it slipped my mind. I guaged oil capacity by what was in my drain pans - and checked the stick. Started it, checked the stick again. Might have been easier had...

    Nice! Thanks Ronmar. I appreciate you digging up the hydraulic tank specs.

    LMTV Self Recovery Winches

    Agreed, but a 1084 spends about the same amount of time loading a few pallets into a truck as it would take to recover a few hundred feet of winch cable. I wasn't as specific I might should have been when I mentioned "crane". It isn't like it runs for hours generating heat... I haven't made...

    LMTV Self Recovery Winches

    My only real concern is the size of the factory storage tank for hydraulic fluid. It is plenty large enough for a winch with room leftover to feed a lift gate. But, It is pretty small. I guess small is a relative term too when you want to hang more fuel tanks. Under continuous use like on a...

    LMTV Self Recovery Winches

    LMTV Self Recovery Winches

    Mine is a M1088a1 with a Cat 3126. I may be barking up the wrong tree, but getting hydraulics on the truck gives me all kinds of other possibilities too. It seems incredibly stupid that the winch and transmission can't both be in gear at the same time. So the tires turning could help the...

    LMTV Self Recovery Winches

    I know this post is from 2015 Derrickl112 but I am in the process of installing a self-recovery winch from a donor parts truck. Any chance you might happen to have any more info you could share or possibly those three winch & pto control switches in your pictures? Or the wiring specifics that...
