Pioneer Shovel

Post by stuck » Sun Aug 14, 2016 12:02 pm

Chaps I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section, if it is please move to the appropriate section.

Quick question, what shape should the handle of the shovel be on a '45 MB?

Should it be "T" shaped or "D" shaped?

Cheers,

Mick.

Mick,

Have you looked in the tool section?

FAK installed correctly?

Go to Jeep Draw and it will tell you all about shovels; all were and are, D handled. Remember that no jeep came from the factory with a shovel; those were unit equipment.
