    has anyone fixed a M105a3 landing gear?

    Remove the small screw from the cover thats over the swivel release. Then remove the release handle and throw it away. Straighten the leg and thru drill the hole that the release handle was in. You need a T handle 8" long to go thru both sides of the swivel assembly. As for the leg itself...

    deuce wheels on an M105a3 trailer

    The tires aren't 22", they are 22.5" tires, tubeless radials. The problem is that the wheels are only 7" wide or so. If looking for a wide tire option, this probably isn't the wheel for you. Also, you can't run them tandem unless you make a set of spacers.

    Making M101A2 street legal

    The light are attached via 2 3/8-16 bolts with star washers. Very easy to replace provided you can read the numbers on the metal tags on the wiring harness. As for the lights being a different shape, the light buckets on my M105A3 matched the Grote shape as well as a couple of other all metal...

    deuce wheels on an M105a3 trailer

    The bolt pattern is the same, just that the M105A3 wheels are hub centric, meaning that the wheel is centered on the hub and not lug centric, meaning centered by the lug nuts. You may not have to swap the wheel M35/A2 wheel to get it to clearance. The tires will be close to the bed support...

    Making M101A2 street legal

    I would like to add to what Kenny said and let you know that Grote sells LED tail lights that are omni-volt, operating from 10-32 volts. They are super bright which is a plus in my book. You want to be seen. A dealer on eBay sells them for around $25 each BIN or make an offer for $21 or so...

    m101a2 recovery

    Nice trailer, especially with the A3 landing gear. Your flatbed doesn't look to shabby either. Time for some bling on the A2?

    M101A2 brakes problem

    You probably have some air in the system but not a big deal for now. Different color fluid? Different type, possibly, meaning not silicone. Jack the trailer off it's wheels, spin the wheels and see if the brakes are dragging. While it's up, have someone push back against the lunette and bleed...

    M101A2 brakes problem

    The video quality is fine. Part of what you are feeling/ seeing is the shock absorber resistance. There still appears to be a lot of resistance. Break the line on the MC lose and slowly push the lunette rearward. Stop and hold at that point and tighten the line. Pay attention to the color of...

    Dimensions M105 please help

    It's a M101 cover not a M105. The M105 is over 9 ft long and a good foot wider.

    M101A2 brakes problem

    Remove the straps and see if you can move the lunette in and out. It should move 1-1 1/2 inch maybe a little more in and out. If it won't move then break the line going to the master cylinder lose and see if the lunette moves. Usually if you get movement after that it means that the MC is...

    M101A2 brakes problem

    I don't see any teeth showing on the break-away paw. I doubt that it's engaged. I could be wrong. If the OP attempted pushing the lunette rearwards after the brakes were applied the lunette won't move. If you crack the brake line open and the lunette moves it's probably master cylinder time...

    M101A2 brakes problem

    Remove the two nuts on the vertical bars and then see if the lunette will move. If not then you will have to remove the bolts holding the master cylinder to the housing out after removing the brake line. There is a flat piece of metal that activates the master cylinder that is supposed to be...

    RC saves lives...

    No gun needed. Just a soldier operating the RC vehicle with a trigger and a 1/2 lb of plastic explosives. Identify hazard, destroy. We aren't going to win the hearts and minds of people that have known nothing but war in there lifetimes. The average Afghan has less than a 6th grade education...

    M915 Electrcal grimlins

    I can't offer a lot of help, but I can offer up the TM if that will help.

    101A3 home today

    The stiffeners inside and outside of the bed as well as the additional metal on the top rail was made after the lifting rings were added. The beds without the modifications had a tendency to fold up when the trailers were lifted.

    Looking for TM for a MEP005A

    Jim, I don't have a paper copy, but I do have 6 or 7 electronic versions for the MEP-005 generator. I could e-mail them or attempt PM'ing them to you.

    101A3 home today

    Ranchhopper, The chassis is a M116A3, but the box is a M101A2 box. The width between wheel wells is greater on the A3 box verses the A2. Look at your pics of the inside fender wells and then compare to the one in this posting...

    Navy P-8 (737) Sub-Killer - First Flight !

    I still can't fathom using a 737 for hunting subs when the four engined P3/S3 did such a good job 50 feet off the deck. There is no way that I would be flying a jet aircraft on two engines that slow and low over water. Just my .02 cents worth.

    My new M101A2

    Looks like the trailer once had a generator mounted inside the bed with the placement of the holes. You had a nice drive from Haymarket to Havre de Grace. I was in your neck of the woods a week or so ago picking up some alloy wheels for a project car. The 7-11 on VA-234 must be landscaper...
