In the field, they would have driven over the tire to break the bead or removed the nuts from the rim and pressurized the valve stem. If you have a hydraulic engine crane, (cherry picker) just sit the legs on top of the tire, run a bolt thru the lugs nuts attached to a small piece of chain...

By the lug nuts (being 6 lug) it's a M103 trailer. Also look at the landing gear leg. Check out page 18 of the TM.

First off, if you flip the lunette on the trailer, it will give you about 6 inches of additional height. Next, purchase a height adjustable plate/pintle. I tow my M105's with a Suburban, F350 dually and a Toyota 4Runner. The dually sits the highest, so I have one plate set up just for it...

I recently had to perform a lighting up grade to one of my M105A3 trailers in order to get thru inspection. The state inspector insisited that the trailer had to meet current lighting standards. Since the trailer is wider than 80 inches i was also required to install clearance lights on the...

If it were mine, the center section would be coming out for inspection. Could be that the ring and pinion have a problem causing the center to lock up before the axle let go. As for cleaning the axle tube, a cheap carwash sponge and a broom handle with some diesel fuel or varsol for clean-up...

The trailer weighs 5850 lbs bare. The deuce is large enough to pull it, just it's going to lack power on the hills. The 37" deck height is going to require a loading ramp or a set of custom ramps fabricated to get your M37 on and off.

Items to watch for: GL is known for lifting things with a fork truck. The parking brake cables on the trailer sit on one of the lowest portions of the trailer frame and usually get smashed. Bring bolt cutters if you can't get the parking brakes to release. Don't plan on breaking any speed...

M916 and M920 would fit your bill. M916 is a 6x6 while the M920 is an 8x6. Both used Cummins NTC400 engines and most had Cat 7155 16 speed automatic transmissions.

Rope or seatbelt tied off steering wheels are the standard way of immobilizing the steering on a vehicle being towed from the rear. The DOT guys don't have an issue with it. Even though the vehicle is only being towed 10 miles or so, placing 15 tons on the two front wheels would not be my...

Andy, I don't own a M920 but have towed quite a few tractors over the years. I wouldn't worry about transfer case or shifter position, just have the tow company remove the drive shaft. Have them tape the caps in place so that they don't loose the needle bearings and life should be...

The best as far as I'm concerned is the M105A3 made by Pribbs Steel Mfg. Pribbs phosphates the trailer beds once welded, and the underside of the bodies are rust proofed. Both of my M105 trailers appear to be NEW with no rust underneath. There are a lot of M105 trailers floating around with...

The wheels are hubcentric also unlike the Deuce wheel. The wheels use a captured washerd nut and both sides are right hand threaded.

Other that these problems, they are great trucks for those that like to work on their trucks. Tell us how ou really feel about the FMTV Westy.8-)

First off, don't pay any attention to the NSN number search which you performed. That search only listed companies which had manufactured trailers, not necessarly YOUR trailer. The numbers which you MUST use are the serial number on the data plate attached to the frame, and the number should...

Hey Kenny, I guess you are due a trip to Dirt71's shop for some inspiration. You could have him start the project and if time permits you finish up. Otherwise you know he has the equipment for the job, just at what cost.

Do not purchase any generator with a Tecumseh engine until the new plant is decided upon. They went belly up a few years ago, ( toledoblade.com -- The Blade ~ Toledo Ohio ) the new owners haven't decided whether to reopen in the US or move to China. Purchasing a consumer grade gasoline...

Make a ladder rack out of 6X6's to mount in the bed of your truck. Lift the frame onto the rack and bind it down tight. When broken down the rack won't take up much room. I take it that you have access to a wrecker for the loading portion since you have a wrecker at home?

If it's a factory Deuce tanker, it should be a model M49.

I know it wasn't one of those auctions as I also followed both of them until a few minutes after 5:00 when I had to leave for a meeting. File the complaint with the BBB, it's free. Also, ding your Congress critter and inform them about GL's business practices. Make notes on the call you...
