I love my wrecker!

[Andy1234]

Short synopsis:

• bought a milling machine in OH
• drove to OH, picked up milling machine
• drove home
• unloaded mill (2300 lbs) in less then 4 minutes with my M816

Best thing since sliced bread.

wow! my birfplace was St. Louis and I served a 45 yr term there,
but hey, looking at the background of your pics, you got some steelsoldiers,

Nice looking wrecker and nice 1 1/2hp Bridgeport. Variable speed head, 42" table with an "X" axis power feed.

I don't own a M816, but I have moved a few Bridgeport milling machines, and know them quite well.

Good luck with the milling machine purchase and keep the pictures coming.

I was thinking on these lines too. I am sure that wrecker would be a handy outfit

I guess this means it paid for itself.

"Honey, I have to move my milling machine, so I'm gonna have to buy a M816 Honey."

You get bonus points for buying a American made milling machine.

I want one of those in the worst way. I don't have a single use for one, but I NEED one bad. I have a 69 c-30 that I've had for 13 years, & I absolutely love it.... but I NEED an 816. John (nice bridgport too.. I was a toolmaker all my life)

Just out of curiosity, what's the maximum extension of the boom? Is it large enough to change a roof-mounted air conditioner?

 

[armytruck63]

Probably not.

I too hope to join the ranks of Wrecker owners, someday. I have a dream! I could find plenty of uses for one, but even if I did'nt thats fine too. I want one and thats all the justification I need to get one! Nice Pics! And nice collection! Thanks for posting!!!

No unless its a one level dwelling and even then, your not going to get it where you want to put it on a building. But if you wanted to lift one and put it on a trailer................ist all there for ya!

I would love mine too if I had one!! Usually have no problem persuading the wife but she won't budge on this so far.
