    HEMTT tip. DO NOT put the transmission in gear with the high idle on. Had my M984A1 wrecker jump about 8 feet forward and then then die. The exhaust elbow from the the manifold up to the turbo was split open like a gutted fish. Got it started and limped back to the motorpool. Had to wait a few days for parts to fix it. Old Detroit was a beast. Sounded like you were going 100 miles an hour when you were barely moving. Damn I miss my HEMTT.

    ok you had a HEMTT hauling a hot tub but have you ever seen a hemtt bed as a swimming pool? when I was in the desert during 1st gulf war 1991 (desert storm) we actually had a waterproof tarp spread over the bed of the hemtt and filled it with water
    now it wasn't perfect or deep or held water very long. but, it was very refreshing, funny and it broke up the boredom of sitting out in a big sand box for 3 months

They rushed everything for the film producers and ultimately he wasn't happy with the outcome of the show. He's a proud artist so I don't blame him.

    Was at first duty station. Camp, Howze .Korea . When 28.900 miles without accident in Korea with the 985 HEMTT . They are a beast of strength and performance. Word of caution the hoist on the crane is run by a small 3/8" line. Do not break that line with your load it will drop emediately! Add an additional safety cage on it! Other than that keep your boom at a higher level . You risk bending the boom ! Seen it happen! So be careful and God bless you! Thank you for bringing back the memories with that vehicle!

    All you’d need to do to fix that crane from turning when you don’t want it to is instal a different control valve. Some come with a check ball so that when you push/pull the lever, you need to give it some ooomph and it’ll kindof lock in place. Until moved again and it’ll spring back. There’s toooons of different kinds of control valves to choose from with all kinds of different positions and what not though

    My army unit had a Hemet wrecker, the operator was a 6'6" Sicilian an he could wear his Kevlar helmet cause he was to tall even with the seat bottomed out. But that truck was a work horse.

    You have the rigging but I’d invest in a tag line. I’ve had slings slip loading pipe. Tag lines, communication, good operator and perfect hand signals will avoid Dave being under the load. Pick and carry is perfectly safe as long as your chart allows it. If not I would carry it with as little stick out as possible, close to the truck and 25% of the lifting capacity

    First off...AWESOME M977!! I gotta ask why didn't you drop the doors when loading it?? 😒 I'm and Army Veteran (53 yrs old now) and I was stationed in Fulda Germany 1987-89 and the M977 HEMMIT was my truck... 10 ton 8x8 of Cummings turbo diesel power in field operations for a month at a time (I slept in mine) and then all over Europe on the bad ass Autobahn in my 10 ton!!
    We were Support Platoon and suppliers of pallets of food and ammo and fuel for all the troops and tankers (110mm rounds for M1a1 tanks) Blackhorse Regiment was the unit's name. PROUDLY SERVED 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲💪

      That was an M985. the M977 has the single strand crane, the M985 has the combination strand crane. (I was in an MLRS unit and had to have the cranes with higher lifting capacity)

    Change the valve body on the control for spinning the boom and it should fix your problem. I used to work on these in the Army. It's an amazing machine

    Once again these guys are also showing the diversity of Utah. It shows that not all of us here have massive homes but the majority of us own older more modest homes. Nothing wrong with that in any way. And yes, Diesel Dave, I'd go hot tubbing with you because it would be a riot. Talking about cars/trucks, bouncing ideas off each other and just having good times.

    My body don't like probiotics. - I was born in the wrong country, I have to pay 3x as much as you do for you name it. Only when I hear what that bathtub costs my hair stands on end! - I don't have a garbage can, I take my garbage bag across the street and dump it in an underground container - I mainly come across cranes like this with boatmen who use them to put their car on the quay. I had on the many trucks that either I drove or drove the controls right behind the cab, on both sides, meaning some people can take the controls on the other side, my crane was super sensitive when turning, and some idiot jerks on the handle on the other side and a length of pipe with a diameter of half a meter flew from his chains through 5 barracks, the boss who was working inside the pipe went right past his head, luckily I had a witness who had seen it .

    Crane tips/rules the out rigger needs pads 3 time bigger than the crane pads. When you set up on a hills side like you did you are supposed to be 1 and a half feet away of the hill height so if it’s a 5’ hill/cliff you set up 7’ 6” especially if it’s fresh if it’s well compacted and slopes off good you’re fine at 3’. That pick and carry was perfectly fine. The booms turn like that on every crane that I’ve use if it’s not level it’s not really a big deal if you ask me. Other than the load chart that’s the main stuff I’m sure you guys are smart enough and have common sense to run it. I’d recommend getting the crane license for like a fixed cab crane like the one in my profile picture it’s a 80’ 20ton it’s like 2k for the license 3days of school 2 for preparation for the test 3rd day is for the test and hands on test easy course good for like 4 years or so, it’s probably not needed for that knuckle boom but I say get it why not.

    Not sure if just me but the audio went out of sync during the sponsor part where HeavyD started in. Also at 13:58 its video of the hottub loading in the Hemtt but the audio is hans and wife talking about the trash. Video preview shows that but actual video is different...
