I want to use the trailer with my 5 ton wrecker, now when I pick up something I have somewhere to put it! I loaded the compressor on the rear of the trailer to help out the trucks load leveler, it sounded like it was having a hard time raising the tongue to level, the compressor helped...

Made it to Hooks right on time, traveled across the base to find my trailer and no trailer, they had given my trailer with the tool boxes still on it to someone else and no more trailers with boxes were available!!!! They are so strict on not moving a step without some one with you and then...

Restoration should go fast the winch truck looks solid and complete. Good find! James G.

Mine came with 11 X 20's on it right out of the military so I know they work ok. James

JBK: I got the receiver hitch from etrailers.com the lower ball/pintal hitch I picked up at Tractor Supply. They have a lot of trailer parts way cheaper than RV shops. James

Bjorn: In that thread we were looking for manuals on a small 3kw diesel airforce gen set. It is much smaller than the 5 or 10kw units, if you are talking about the one on wheels, I am pretty sure that is a 1.5kw cover. James

Theodore: It looks like I will be making four trips to hooks over the next 2-3 weeks, you are welcome to ride along on any of them. James

One of the jeep guys there said it was a prototype jeep for the military, but was never adopted. James

I was worried about strength but the guys at etrailers said it was good for well over the 9K limit i haul, the lower pintal has the ball combination that really helps on the non military hauling. James

Sorry I have three 715s screaming for the black out light guard! The old guy had a pickup bed full of odds and ends parts he had cleaned out of a shed he had, the pistol and bayonet were from his closet! I would have gotten a couple of other interesting parts/small machines but I wasn't sure...

A few more shots. James G.

Is this chain what you are talking about being a wrecker chain. I saw it yesterday hanging off a pickup bed as I was heading home from the Petit Jean MV show, the guy made me a package deal I couldn't refuse, this being laid off sucks, he had a super 1903 for $400 I couldn't swing. On the...

Any sign shop should be able to make you up a stencil for the stars, and they are reusable. James G.

I use a set whenever I tow, the photos above are me pulling the 105 out of the mud up to high ground so I could pull the cover off and add the lights. The troopers here are pretty good about leaving anything military alone, as long as you don't get too stupid and invite a visit! James G.

Picked up my M105 down in Little Rock this week, one down eight to go, a big box trailer in Little Rock, a 5 ton flat bed at Hooks, four M105s at Hooks and the two enclosed 105 at Hooks, I hope gas prices don't rise over the next three weeks! James G. PS: The M105 rides pretty level behind the...

I was only able to make a short visit to the MV show at Petit Jean State Park but there was a fair showing of small and large MVs from WWII to Vietnam and beyond. James G.

I think I have had a 105 and a 101 on it before, I know I can't get three 101s on it since I had to sell one dirt cheap at Riley last year because I was a foot or two short on the trailer. I will have to go back looking at my photos of trailer pickups! i don't want to make six 460 mile round...

Recovery: What is a "CBBC IIRC" I tried Google. James

If you missed out on the trailers at Hooks today you really missed out!!!! I bought six, four look just out of rebuild with their Racks, bows and covers still bundled up in the beds($150) and for $300 and change I got a couple of the fully enclosed 105's one is fiberglass and the other one...

I will be on my way back from Mississippi on Friday and intend stopping by to see it. I know several SS members are going I am not sure what day? James G.
