Enamel paint will typically have a two year shelf life from date of manufacture. Does that mean it will go bad at two years and one day? NO. Look for separation of the constituents, oily crap on the surface, skims, cottage cheese consistency coatings or strange smells. If you encounter any...

If you want to "winterize" the engine, pour some engine oil into each cylinder, hand crank the engine a rotation or two, then use aluminum tape over the intake and exhaust openings. You can use a "Golden Rod" that is used in a gunsafe to keep the humidity low in the container. The dessicant...

With a little shade tree mechanical work, you could mount a small fuel tank on the front fender and attach a rubber line from the tank to the injector pump. That way gravity would be you friend instead of you enemy. Cost next to nothing if you have a 5 gallon Jerry can or old lawn mower gas...

While if I were purchasing these rods I would thread them together its just as easy to drill the coupling collar and rods and install a screw in each joint so that they stay together when you use the slide hammer to remove them from the ground. That's the KISS engineer in me.

Colemans surplus has 7' long cables #213001 for $15.00.

Bruce, There were no pictures of the M101 trailer. The listing of quantity stated two and the listing of the NSN numbers listed the NSN numbers for both a M105a3, with a condition code of B4 and a M101a1 trailer condition HX. I was not expecting a new condition M101 trailer, just sometime that...

I in good faith bid on two trailers, not just one. The auction listing listed two, my invoice listed two, I expected to receive two trailers. If G/L screwed up, too bad on their part. If you overbid on an item and you are awarded high bidder they either make you go thru with the transaction or...

If you are making reference to "not for fuel injection" I believe they are referring to the new fuel injection systems that require 60+ lbs of fuel pressure to the injector pump at all times. You would only be using the pump as a lift pump.

G/L bait and switch Back on June 26th, 2009, I bid on some trailers located at Fort Meade Maryland. I was high bidder on two lots of trailers. Lot #1 was an almost new (1997 manufacture date) M105a3 trailer, and lot #2 was listed as containing two trailers, the first being a M105a3 and the...

Yes the trailer is a M105a3. I purchased two of these when they first were offered on GL back in June. As for the tire size, they use 10.00X22.5 tubeless tires which are really nice to tow with. Since most of thee trailers also include tarps and bows plus they are 66" wide between wheel...

I tow a 37' travel trailer that weighs almost 16,000 lbs using a F350 duallie. The tonge weight on the 5th wheel is close to 2500 lbs which is a little heavier than recommended by the trailer manufacturer (Sandpiper). I just turn up the brake controller to 3.5 which makes both the truck and...

So just how much tonge weight did you have on that Chevy 1 ton truck? I would think that if you had centered the duece over the trailer axles the Chevy would have been much happier.

The low oil pressure switch is intended to either shut down the engine or keep the engine from starting if the oil is not at the correct level. If you have an engine that is consuming oil and not performing routine level checks at refueling, the switch will keep the unit from starting. If...

Page 164 of TM5-6115-585-12, lists oil pressure of a warmed up generator of 20-45 psi depending on oil viscosity used.

Install a tire valve stem in the fuel cap and then use a bicycle air pump to pressurize the tank. Crack the fuel line at the IP open and bleed the system of air, then if need be you can do the same at the injectors.

Looks like a generator trailer and is a very large case of overkill. The Jet Ski can't weigh more that 600 lbs. With tandem wheels that trailer has to be rated for close to 10,000 lbs. Make a set of bunks for the Jet ski and dump the rest of the stuff on the trailer. Also with 9.00x20 you...

My apologies for not seeing or responding to your question. The issue that I have with the Sand colored units are that a lot of them ran 24/7 powering up air conditioning units. I don't think they received regular service other than being refueled. Friends that were stationed GW1 mentioned to...

Dump the rubber garden hose and purchase a couple of compression fittings and a piece of soft copper. Mount the line away from moving parts. Rubber mount the fuel lines on either blocks or rubber isolated clamps.

The company that I work for built a composite M113 back in the late 80's which I was tasked to assemble. The trim vane was as described earlier, plywood with an aluminum skin. We took the M113 out to Dark Head Cove behind the plant to see if it would float, as it was supposed to. I still...

For the cost of the surge brake unit (about $175) you are half way there to converting the truck to a civi trailer axle with electric brakes. I have three M105 trailers. One A2 and two A3's which have surge brakes. I'm in the process of lowering the lunette on one of the A3's so that I can...
