Hey guys,

Just wondering were I cant find some reference pictures of the lift components on a TWMP mounted to an M1A1. Some images are from a distance so cant really make out how its lifting system looks. I have looked on line and i found a TM for, but cant access it. So some help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Are you asking strictly about the components that lift the plow to the stowed position ? There is a webbing strap that is wound up by 2 large electric motors at the upper edge of the mounting frame

There are two horizontal drums against the lower glacis plate. These are electric motors. On the outside ends of them are pulleys. There are about 2" wide cloth straps that attach to these pulleys and then down to the arms for the plow. The motors turn and wind up the straps on the pulleys to raise the blade.

You can see the straps in this pic.
