That is the idea my son came up with. Only question is how to lengthen distance from front bow to rear one, as that won't change by lifting the whole bow assembly.

I agree. I am in no hurry to move any. So I can part with them only if someone wants one more than I do. I would prefer a M101A2, but this brakeless unit will do in the meantime. I like the air over hydraulic of the M105A2s to pull behind the 5 ton. I am anxious to put one to work.

I just picked up my new (to me) M101A1 trailer with a descent paulin/cover. Thing is, the cover is just a few inches too large, in all directions. It does work but I cannot pull it fully tight. This picture shows how low it is on the sides. Both are even. It also is too low front and rear. Could...

As you can see in this picture, I have four fairly nice trailers. Less than three weeks ago I owned no military trailers. Uh oh!

Here's the other.

Then a massive locust tree was whipping in the wind this morning. That had me concerned with this saturated ground so I had to move my M105A2s out to a property that I will eventually be living at. I wanted to move them with my 5 ton but don't want to make ruts, so I used the CUCV. Here's a pic...

Used mine to get an M101A1 home from Columbus. Delivered a mower to my son who lives in that area and trimmed some trees. Next thing i know, my 3+ hour drive gets started in the dark. Then the intense rain came for the whole drive making it a 4.5 hour drive. Here's a pic from this morning.

Very nice. I would've driven it daily all summer and parked it for winter. Somebody got a nice ride

I got the trailer here up for votes, at my physical house Christmas day and gave it a good go over yesterday. Removed the air filters and blew the hoses clean by hooking each hose to my 5 ton's emergency air hookup and cracking the air. Both hoses blew a bunch of junk out. Also, removed and...

Used my 5 ton yesterday to pick up another M105A2 I had dropped off at my mother's since her place is right off I-70. I wanted to do it yesterday as we were having dinner there and my son was in town and I wanted to let him put a couple miles on it. His wife decided against it. Then today I...

New dual exhaust all the way back with quiet mufflers. So much better. Had a small leak, then another, then breakage. Bad fumes with one window down. All gone after 3.5 benjis. But now I can drive in peace and not worry about something needing wired up if I hit a bump.

Here's more of the water damaged maintenance logbook.

I got my M105A2s home yesterday. The one up for votes here even came with a well protected TM and a not so well protected camo folder that is a maintenance/service record folder. Looks like this unit was in Luxemburg. Most of the papers are ruined from water damage, but somewhat legible.

I only have two original military batteries and have a 12v socket with a single LED (relevance?, a wee draw on the battery keeps electrons excited) and at the coldest it has been this year (14°F) the starter zinged and after four or so seconds of cranking with no fire, I used the ether as...

Bummer. Hope Spring picks up the income. Maybe you will be blessed with a good deal on another one.

My M105A2 arrives Tuesday along with his buddy, another of the same. The one entered here has bows in the bed and the cover still wrapped neatly and all is wire-tied to the inside of the bed. I hope that means it has not been in service since getting MWO work or even just given a go over and...

I keep hearing of this act of acquiring military vehicles as an "addiction". I look at it as being very smart and knowing well made over-built products that will last a lifetime (at a severely deflated price), and just wanting only to have a chance to buy back what you already bought once with...

Awesome. You are creating memories for them young-ens that'll last their lifetimes. I bet they are just loving it!

Thank you. It is an M332 ammunition trailer. Picked it up for $250. The pic was inroute home with it just day before yesterday. Only had to go about 100 miles to get it.
