Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
That's why I wouldn't leave the cover on, or even the bows. I use the crane too often. I really bought it just so I could camp out in the back when I'm at rallies / shows / other events.The thing I find odd about the covers for the HEMTTs is that you have to load the truck up THEN install the cover.
NOW you tell me!I have an extra set of bows If anyone is in need. Just tossing it out there.
I bought the same NOS in crate cover kit you did. I had bows before and now have extra.That's why I wouldn't leave the cover on, or even the bows. I use the crane too often. I really bought it just so I could camp out in the back when I'm at rallies / shows / other events.
NOW you tell me!I think Dave Walker still has another new cover. It's a little thinner material than the one that comes in the crated kit but the price is right. Good luck finding end curtains though...

Why would you bypass the high pressure filter? If you need info on them, it's a Pall model 9800... I have the service manual from Pall I can email you if you need it, and the filters are cheap and plentiful through surplus channels. The tech at Pall told me they're very nice aircraft-grade filter units, he was surprised when I told him it was on a crane on the back of a truck.Currently working on a new front grill and bypassing the high pressure hydraulic filter.
After several attempts to replace the old oring I have not been able to get it to make a complete seal with the double oring. I'll try it one more time with your info for sure: hasson454@gmail.comWhy would you bypass the high pressure filter? If you need info on them, it's a Pall model 9800...

Talk about your "dynamic duo"!Mine was being used for shade by the calves, and here it is with the newest toy, it was very helpful swapping buckets and tires!

We call them wheel hoes, it's an excavator on wheels really. Lots different than a GradallTalk about your "dynamic duo"!
It's like a Gradall, but with an articulated boom. I don't think I've ever seen one of those, nice item.

I see you're right about that, and I'm wrong (I'm pretty stupid sometimes).
I didn't zero in on the details, and thought the front boom was telescoping.
Nice machine anyway!
Do both axles steer?
Ah yes! That was why I called Pall Aeropower. When I went to service my filter, the old o-ring(s) had disintegrated into mush, so I had nothing to match, and searching the NSN didn't give me enough info. They were very helpful, and sent me the manual as well as gave me the specs for the o-rings over the phone. It's just a standard round o-ring, with a "back-up ring" below it. I was not familiar with back-up rings. It's thin..... flat on one side and with a concave indentation on the other side that causes it to nest nicely with the round o-ring. Did you use a back-up ring? ..... I had to buy like 100 each, round and back-up, from McMaster-Carr........ PM me your address and a set will be on it's way to you.After several attempts to replace the old oring I have not been able to get it to make a complete seal with the double oring.

No, only the front set steers. It's very similar to a Drott Cruzair, but with a Case diesel engine.I see you're right about that, and I'm wrong (I'm pretty stupid sometimes).

Interesting! The straps do appear to be at a very shallow angle, so even if the load wasn't 11k, the load applied could have been far higher.In the video you'll see the straps break. It wasn't the straps that broke, it was the hooks on the straps. The straps are rated at 11000lbs but apperently the steel hooks they put on them are rated at 200lbs.
