wwiitrucks Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Hello All What is this Mysterious triangular piece on the bottom of the boom for?. There is no mention of it in TM9-796 1 March 1944 even though this picture is out of it (page 307). I see it on some trucks not all of them, Is it a field modification ?.

Nick Johns Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 (edited) .the triangular bracket was fitted to all WLF cranes, we are not entirely sure what its for either, as you say no mention of it in the TM9, most have been used in civilian use as additional lifting using the rear winch and got bent or torn off as its not really strong enough for that Edited February 24, 2023 by Nick Johns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grasshopper Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Bracket and clevis below is where the wire stays go to the rear body when the crane is in the travelling position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
