Most but not all single mounted MEP-003a generators were installed on M116 trailers not M105 trailers. The M116 lunette height is 27+/_ 2 inches in height. If your generator did indeed come on a M105 trailer, be advised that the trailer with generator will weigh over 4000 lbs. Without using a...

The racks on one of my M101 trailers with wood slats are installed with Jo-bolts. Basically Jo-bolts are a fastener with a small section that is reduced in diameter that uses a collar instead of a nut. A gun pulls on the "bolt" and once the torque is reached the collar crushes, the "bolt"...

Are your wheels on a bobbed truck? I didn't remember there being enough clearance between the axles to run 16.00 on the rear of a deuce.

When you apply for the SF-97, GL will inform you that VA does not accept SF-97's and will issue you a title. The cost is around $85 for title verses the SF documents. Why not go with a Maine tag? Costs less that way than a permanent VA trailer tag and yearly inspections.

Had a good time also, though I had to bail Friday evening to make some money by working Saturday. The Maryland Steel Soldiers contingent resided in row L, except Powerhousedeuce. His new M916 with trailer is an awesome truck/trailer combo. The Thursday evening meal was great followed by Friday...

I've got the predecessor to the 211, the DVI. Having the ability to run on both 120-220 voltages is a major plus. IMHO, purchasing a Miller machine is the way to go since just about every weld distributor sells Miller. The auto-set is good for the novice, set thickness and process you want...

It could also be that they broke a starter off because they were not running the brace and damaged the threads. Most mechanics today have never seen a diesel CUCV or know that it has a split electrical system with both 12 and 24 volts. Almost as bad as the British cars that used positive grounds.

For tags in the mail, you must be using one of the Maine trailer registration places since Merryland won't do tags or title until you get the SF-97 which GL won't process until it's removed from the site. Good luck with the recovery. Take a box of doughnuts with you as the folks from Meade will...

I've got two of the MEP-003's and a civi gas generator with a cast iron engine. My rule of thumb has been one hour of run time for the gas engine generator and two hours of cooling off before checking the oil and restarting. My MEP-003's both use just over a gallon per hour at 80% load. The...

Nice looking trailer. The next time you transport the trailer cross the safety chains so that in the event that the pintle opens up the trailer tongue won't hit the ground.

The only numbers are on the frame data plate mounted on the drivers side frame rail. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/members/nonotagain-albums-m116a3-picture5942-m116a4-id3.html What does your GL invoice list as the numbers? Did you inspect the numbers before removing the trailers from GL?

Not quite correct Wolf, Ford in 1997 changed the bolt pattern for their trucks to something different. Previously they were 8X6.5inch, in mid year 1997 the went to 8X170 mm. This chart from a big off road wheel company shows when the major changes in bolt circle and lug sizes changed. 55-79...

I can tell you that I've had the same address for the last 25 plus years. It's the same address used on various GL purchases for the past 5 years. I balance my PayPal account weekly since I use them for my mad money purchases. To this date there has not been any posting of an attempt by...

Typical Government Liquidation BS. The first time I attempted using PayPal for a purchase my PayPal payment was also rejected. I called GL and asked for a transaction number and of course they didn't have access to the transaction. Yeah Right??? I called PayPal and Government Liquidation NEVER...

Check the volume of transmission oil, one knuckle low should be good. Brake cleaner is your friend. Hose the clutch down real good, push pedal in a couple of times and repeat the cleaning operation. Also flush the bell housing out. If the friction material is totally gooped, a clutch will be...

Ask, and yea shall find. This is one of my M105a3 trailers.

The axles on a M796 bolster trailer are too close together to install 9.00X20 tires. The M1061 "laundry" trailer uses the same bolt pattern of the deuce, just that the trailer uses 12.00X16.5 inch tire/wheel. You can install a 9.00X20 tire and wheel on a M1061 trailer but the bed height will be...

Imron is just DuPont's trade name for a polyurethane enamel paint. They were one of the first to offer polyurethane to the trade. Just like Coca-Cola being "Coke". The rap that Imron received was that it chipped too easy and a lot of painters didn't like spraying it due to the smell. Well, it...

Unless you are a wiz at export paperwork, your best and legal method of obtaining a M101a3 is to talk to one of the dealers in the trade that has an export license. I think Eastern Surplus in PA has such a license and should be able to help you. There are a few members here that are Canadian...

To me that's the main reason to get the A3 trailer. I own three M101a3 trailers. Two of the three I retained the HMMWV running stock on, the third uses civi tires, 245x75-16's load range E. I like the lowered loading height for most applications, but there are times when I go off-road for...
