MWM:
I had a good look at your trailer last week, it is in very good condition, and it looks like all of the parts are there, canvas is a little rough but a very nice buy. I may be going by there tomorrow if you need anything looked at or done, let me know.

I am going to look at an M813 with 12K showing on the odometer, I am going to take a couple of batteries to see if it will turnover, it has been out of service at least two years so anything in particular I should look out for? On my 818 fuel leaks are a big problem is it the same with the...
You got a tool trailer at hooks? They run hot and cold down there with loading, but I would take air tank in case a tire is low, if you call they may be able to tell you of any defects so you can plan ahead. They are friendly enough but for them this is just work not a hobby.
Depends on the site and the day! At Shelby a soldier help me load the trailers with a 20k forklift, at Hooks a GL employee sat on a forklift while I winched two M105 up on my car hauler, they wouldn't even help me pull it our of the line of trailers! So it just depends on the location.
For anyone interested I have run up on a copy of manual for the tool trailers, a lot of it covers the individual tools but it does cover some of the trailer layout. If you want a copy PM me.

I had a local guy changing mine out for $12 each, took him about ten minutes a tire, problem is a month or so ago he was working on his stock car and set a can of ether down on his battery, it looks like he will be out for 3-4 months, so I may try some myself.
I found the two Winch Propeller shafts at a local junk yard, he had dozens of shafts but these were the only two that were OD and look usable to me. The smaller one I am pretty sure fits my M37 I am hoping the larger one(57 inches Long) will work in my Deuce, can anyone ID it?

Thanks guys, there was a spare M37 type wheel on one of the Pioneer Tool Trailers I won down at Camp Shelby, now maybe I can move that M101 trailer that has been sitting on one wheel in OK for the last three years!!!!
Non-Multi Fuel Trucks
Are the non-multi-fuel trucks just as easy to start? I know my M818 will burn through four batteries pretty quick, maybe I should just park on a hill!!!
Doghead the supervisor was driving the forklift! These are good guys but high tech. they are not, when they punch a hole in a oil pan, moving the trucks around. they just flip the truck over on it's side to contain the oil flow!!!!
