Your frequency meter appears to have a couple of bubbles inside almost like the gauge is glycerine filled. If you have any of the newer appliances, they can be damaged by operation out of the proper frequency. I run power conditioners, APC UPS units on the fridge with digital controller and...

Maine was one of the first states to issue 5, 10, and permanent trailer tags when other states only issued one year tags. Attempting to keep track on where a trailer is so that the tag stickers can be applied to the tag is a major pain in the butt. UPS at one time forced their drivers to...

They don't "rust" but they do corrode. If you look around the rivet holes you will find that the paint will be bubbled. When the sheet metal is drilled the corrosion preventative feature applied in the bulk clean/conversion coat/prime operation is removed. The only reason that I can see for...

Probably M1101 or M1102 trailers. They are made of aluminum, but still weigh as much as a M101 trailer.

Chris, some of the local Mudders are running warmed over Allison 1000 transmissions with Suncoast 6 speed conversions to get more top speed and lower the engine rpm. I'd rather have the option to run down the highway 65-70 mph with the Allison than take a chance with the other transmissions.

I won't discuss the 101 or the 101A1 trailer but instead will work with the A2 and A3. A2 and A3 use hydraulic surge brakes and has two handles mounted on the front of the cargo box for parking brakes. The A2 uses a straight axle tube with 5 leaf springs, CUCV wheels and tires, and the box...

I didn't see the auction closing prices for today, but in the last three weeks Ft Meade has auctioned off about 100 A2/A3 trailers. Unless someone has deep pockets to purchase and then sit on 40 or so trailers until prices come back up, the market is flooded. I purchased a couple of really...

A Google search for Balcrank 1844-2 will yeild you the info you need.

Dudley, I'll take a spot for Aberdeen. Since I have a few wheels and a couple sets of slave cables to sell, this might be a good chance to lighten up the load. Is it OK to call you this evening?

I'm in for some more sausage and gravy biskets, well and some good conversation. Be there or be square.

You may wish to get some flex pipes to get the exhaus away from the house or turn the generator around so that its pointing away. The 1800 rpm drone of the engine will be picked up acoustically by the wall. Nice generator and good idea on the grill cover.

If you have an A3 bed then a dually wheel won't fit once the trailer has a load on it. On the A2 they will fit though with 215/85-16. Installing duals on the trailer are a case of over kill though as a pair of 16" load range D tires can carry more than enough weight for the whole trailer. If...

No SF-97 required? Did you use Staub?

The acoustic sound panels installed on the laundry trailer are there to protect the hearing of the soldiers operating the laundry unit, not anyone else. The generator when issued on the laundry trailer came with exhaust extensions (12-15 foot long stainless steel flex pipes) which do a fair...

I remember one member here installed his generator on top of a mounting base made of 6X6" lumber to get it off the ground. Being in Florida, I would be concerned with creepy crawlers and other things getting under the genset and possibly eating the wiring, so I'm liking the idea of getting it...

By any chance when braking does the trailer seem to get jerky and start banging around? If so the shock asorber in the surge coupler is bad. If you decide to replace the whole assembly for a ball type, as I stated earlier, I'll buy your surge coupler.

What inspection area did you get into leaving Meade? The shortest route of of there is to make a right oout of the GL lot, then the first left to the stop light then a right turn and follow that out to Rt 175. No inspection points what so ever.

Lots of people use Maine for trailer regiistrations. The Maryland clown frown upon out of state tagged trailers as they know that you are atempting to circumvent the high in state tag fees. My M101 trailers titled and two year tagged, cost me over $200 when all is said and done. Maine offers...

The lunette ring is part of the brake actuator and can't be swapped without a lot of trouble. You could install a commercial trailer surge coupler for around $250 or so, as the other posters have stated, get the ball pintle combo hitch. If you make the change over, I'm interested in...

I would like to thank Dudley for his assistance with my trailer recoveries. After watching a set of composite lights being whole one minute and then hanging by the wiring the next, I was able to hand turn my trailers so that the dreaded "fork truck rash" get mine. Dudley, whatever you need, I'm...
