It looks expensive. To own and maintain. Much more so than a deuce.

Uncle Sugar has plenty of our tax dollars to run them. Here's the surplus version. I test fit it today.

Dang it, now I need one of those 5th wheel wreckers, too!

Jeff, is that the Holmes version of the FWTD? Bruce Kubu had a very nice one on one of his 900 tractors.

Where did you get that fifth wheel lift at? Looks pretty sweet.

RE: fifth wheel wrecker

I was able to buy it for a reasonable price at a surplus auction because no one blabbed it all over the place....
Kenny, I'm not sure who made it. It looks different than the ones pictured in PS mag for the M915s. Winslow still has the one from Bruce but I have not seen it to compare. It's pretty cool, now I just gotta figure out how it works. Anyone ever seen any manual on these?

They are briefly touched on in the 90 version of FM 20-22. I've searched in the past for TMs on them but failed to find any, I'll dig a bit more.
