Model SX 919T
History
The massive SX 919T was the heavy recovery backbone of U.S. armoured units from 1941 well into the 1960s. Built around an enormous 14-litre engine producing roughly 150 horsepower, the truck offered exceptional torque and slow, deliberate pulling power. Its recovery boom, stabilisers and reinforced frame allowed it to tow disabled tanks, lift engines, drag wrecks off roads, or serve as a brute-force pusher during engineering operations. Despite its size, crews appreciated its rugged reliability and near-unstoppable low-gear performance, making it a mainstay in every theatre of the war.

[*] Enable the Primer Lever (Or Fuel Pump, or something similar to that, its either a switch or a button) about 8 to 10 times. (the ENABLE part only counts once the primer was turned ON, if you do it way too many times it floods the engine, and you need to reset by turning off the ignition)

Further Notes
- Transmission is fully manual, use Clutch while shifting Gears
- the suspension will not survive more than 200 mass being put directly on a fully extended crane
-also as the driver you are NOT in control of the vehicle, rather to give it POLITE suggestions as to which direction it
goes. It is heavy and it likely wont accept them. Even less so with additional payload
To operate the cranes:
you need hydraulic power, this only comes from the main engine. On the dashboard there is a big button called Force Close Clutch
this wont allow power to the wheels, meaning you can safely enable the handbrake to stop moving at any clutch or throttle setting from the seat.
You then need power, so put it in gear 1 to 5 (NOT REVERSE) to open the engine clutch, and gear the output for the hydraulics.
Then go to the back of the cab and open the clutch to the hydraulics
you will also find further controls like the Standing legs and full brakes and some other stuff
The dial with the hydraulic pressure should rise. At around 50 you should be able to use all the stuff
with that done you can use the cranes, winches and whatnot
Keep in mind the large rear mounted which needs an electrical cable to function. There is a spare on the flatbed if needed
About the Project
The Pacific Front is a Alternate History Project about the time from 1940s through to the 70s in a time of turmoil, war and desperation. It focuses on the countries around the pacific ocean, like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Russia, China and a lot more. All the the project vehicles are fictional in nature and have their own story, lore and design. The Projects creations have a tendency for high fidelity, decoration and multi crew operation.
