Mystery Lifting frame identity sought

[Robin Craig]

Lynn,

I'm just yanking your chain and that of Bob whom I know somewhat!

No offence taken.

Certainly looks very much like the Walker Bulldog sling that I have in my collection.....not sure about dimensions without digging it out to measure...B.P.

[Michael R.]

Does that eliminate it from the fishing lure category?
Even if two Ferret sand channels were attached?

[Robin Craig]

Dear Michael,

It is still available for the fishing lure category.

Is your friend still selling his ferret without the sand channels, I have a pair . . . . .

To update this thread it would appear that the reference to the M113 was not far wrong as it appears that this frame is for the M110 and M578 vehicles, as borne witness by the attached.

You will notice that the T shape is formed in two different planes which is exactly as in the image.

It looks the same as I got with a m41 engine pack and have used it a few times to remove and install the engine and transmission unit works fine.
It is different to the lifting frame showed in the m41 manual and is described as sling 41-S-3832-22 in the picture the hooks are on chains and the tee head is bolted not suspended

That lifting sling looks a lot like the one we used here at 202 Workshop Depot for lifting out M109 power packs. Will look around to see if I have a picture of it in use.
