No, the brakes are air assisted/hydraulic, i.e. no air needed to tow them. They only require air to actuate the brakes.

No worries grounded.... Will be raining here by Saturday, it does tend to shut things down a bit.

The M820A2 is the lift gate model of expansible van trucks, and it is based on the M809 series 5 tons. The "A2" is the lift gate designator. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/m820a2-is-home-safe-now-its-time-to-check-her-out.30647/ I will be able to get more accurate M109 dimensions soon...

I have used "Easy Off" oven cleaner with good results on a few M105 trailers. May want to try in a hidden spot first.

Welcome to the site. You will find the information held here quite valuable. Be sure to check out the "Resources" section for just about any TM (technical manual) that you will need. Also, the "Search" function is very handy in weeding through the volumes of threads here to find what you may be...

I ordered my rear main from Mike (OD Iron) and it was here in a matter of three days. A LOT cheaper than NAPA. As far as the carrier gasket, I made mine from gasket stock. Be sure to put a little RTV on both sides.

What is the weight on the Bobcat? Do you need the trailer hauled too?

What part of IL are you from?

Canislupus, The oil is accumulating in the clutch/pressure plate assembly. As the engine is running, the oil is being kept in the recesses of the assembly by the engine's rotation. When you shut it down, the oil drains down and out of the bellhousing. Are you sure it is engine oil and not...

I didn't see them listed on his site, did I over look them?

I need a few pics of something that is there. Could you snap a few?

No, what you just described is the sound of a normal air governor signaling the air compressor to engage as the pressure in the air system bleeds down. But since the engine is not running in your case, it simply goes quiet.

Ok, did anyone here get it? It was on GSA in IL.

This is NOT normal. You more than likely have air in the lines somewhere. A FULL and THOROUGH inspect of the brake system should be the first thing every new Deuce owner performs.

Did WM get that one too?

And I won't be there. :cry: The M35A2 blew out the rear main seal and I don't have it fixed yet. There are other things getting in the way as well...

WM is correct. If you can hook to it, a 5 ton will move it! I got my M818/Machine shop trailer stuck (and listing dangerously to the side quite a bit) in a field recently. I hooked the M35A2 to the combo first only to have the Deuce dig 6 holes through the asphalt. The M818/trailer wouldn't...

It simply blinks on and off, to be used during recovery operations.

Even has a "Civil Defense" emblem on the front bumper. Very cool pic.
