Hi guys,

Bought myself an M-977 Hemtt from Italeri some weeks ago on Ebay.
I want to convert this into an M-977 Electric Power Plant or an M-1120 Load Handling System.
Now i'm looking for drawings and dimensions of the M-1120 and also for some detailphoto's of the M-1120 LHS.
Founds some photo's on Primeportal, but the ones i want were not there.
The ones i want is how the maincylinders are connected to the basicframe and loadarm/hook.

Hope someone knows where to find some detailphoto's !!


Thanks in advance,

Gé Hovens

Hi Gé
Maybe you could take a look at Joe Wallace's PLS pics on Webshots. AFAIK, the M1120 HEMTT Load Handling System (LHS) has the same load handling system as the newer M1074/M1075 Palletized Loading System (PLS) vehicles....

Here's the link to the album :

....You can also download the Operator's manual for the M1120 in PDF format from the LOGSA website(26 Mb - 1320 pages ) You'll may get a warning message about a security certificate error but you can disregard it. I've already downloaded many TMs without any problem...

The Oshkosh web site has brochures for download on their entire product line. Most include profile line drawings in PDF format that enlarge nicely.

Too bad they don't show other views, but it's a good start point.

Good Luck,
Mark L.

Just put up a new album maybe of the M1120. Mostly detail shots. Looks like one but maybe not. Maybe someone knows for sure which M it is. I think it's closer to a M-1977.
Enjoy.
