All you need for your milling machine to be able to ball mill the channel is a thrust bearing and a hold down stud.
Drill and ream a 1/2" diameter hole in your plate, then bolt the plate and bearing onto your table 14" from the center of the cutter. Climb cut using your ball mill, making the...
The knuckleheads in government changed the mission requirements so many times that they blew the budget and the program was cancelled when the per bird price approached $400M each.
Work Halted on Presidential Helicopter - Defense News
Sikorsky had built every presidental helicopter since...
I've posted this before, but here goes again.
ONAN/INDUSTRIAL PLUGS
The "kit" consists of the glow plug, sealing washer, connector and heat shrink. The last time I purchased these plugs, they were around $20 each.
If not attempting to stay original, look at eBay for a dual wheeled boat trailer jack that cranks and pivoits. The dual wheels will allow you to move the trailer all by yourself and won't sink into somewhat soft stuff. Like this one 2000 LB Trailer Jack With 2 Wheels Car Truck RV Boat - eBay...
You hit the lottery with that trailer. Fiberglass racks, tarp and 12 bolt beadlocks with radial tires.
Just hope that the surge coupler is intack and has a crank up style landing gear.
M101A1 trailers don't have surge brakes, they only have a lever activated parking brake.
M101A2 and A3 trailers use surge brakes in addition to the lever activated parking brake. If the trailer is jerky with starts and stops the surge brake shock asorber is worn out.
Plenty of threads...
The TM lists the A2 trailer at 73.5 inches wide, but the trailer is closer to 80 inches wide.
The beadlocks and tires on your trailer are for bias belted tires only. The tires shown are the Wrangler 36x12.5X16.5 which are no longer made, or so my Goodyear dealer tells me.
The M101A2 and A3...
Alcarp.
Sorry to hear that you were "robbed" of parts from your generators while waiting for your EUC to clear.
I get into Ft. Meade 4-6 times a year to pick up my winnings. Justin Miller is a class act and so was Sarah Dutton whom Justin replaced.
The problem with Ft Meade is that...
That's $6.00 more than they're worth.
Been there done that.
Check the polarity of the lights before you actually need them. I've purchased a couple of sets only to find them incorrectly wired.
I filed complaints with both NHTSA and US DOT about the lights since they claim that they are DOT...
The trailers pictured are either M1101 or M1102 trailers. The boxes are aluminum instead of steel.
No practical difference between the two.
There are three repair orders out for those trailers.
$450 isn't a bad price "IF" it comes with a title.
If it doesn’t have a title, keep looking.
Tons of trailers have been sold out of Hooks Texas, so its not like another trailer won't pop up for sale.
If you go with bolts, the bolt holes need to be reamed to size, not drilled. The bolts will require a very tight fit which you won't get with a drilled hole.
As for re-riveting, the shop doing the work will need an 8-12 X rivet gun and a very heavy bucking bar.
The last problem that may be...
I ran into that problem with registering my M105A3 trailer.
When the Military had the trailers built, they used a three light trio in the rear. The problem is that due to the 80" requirement, I had to install lights on the fenders as well as marker lights up front.
I already had changed the...
I really like the look of your truck in picture 3 with the combat rims and super singles.
Any issues with getting under a trailer or stability on rough roads ?
I had a simular problem last year with a BoA credit card.
Went to use the card at 6:00AM to pay an emergency vet bill to have the card declined. Paid the bill with all the cash I had on hand at the time. Called BoA and finally got ahold of the fraud unit, only to find out that BoA had to...
Out of the dozen or so military trailers that I have purchased in the past few years, both of my M796 and both of my M1061's have had anti-seize on the lug nut threads.
The M101's, M116's, and the M105's were all dry threaded.
Both of the M796 trailers had supposedly come out of overhaul...
What diameter air hose are you using?
A 3/4" impact gun requires a 1/2" diameter air hose for full rated torque.
I have one 1/2" diameter 50' hose that I use on my 3/4" Snap-on impact and 1" CP gun.
Its not just the pressure drop but the lack of air volume that will keep you impact from...
That was part of a NBC shelter unit. Justin Wehring has one on the classified section for sale.
Since you are a "new guy", this site has a prohibition on posting information on active auctions or soon to be auctioned items, which is probably why you received no information about this trailer.
Somehow I doubt that International Harvester installed a Detroit Diesel in any of their vehicles for sale.
Most of the transit style buses offered by IH are still front engine.
