Ok Should have pics up by tonight Edit: Pics added in additional posts

Optima Red I have them in everything except my M1008A1 and it has a new set of Hawkers. Just installed an Optima Red in a mint 1998 Suburban K1500 I just picked up. Have Optima Blue in my Airstream. Optima makes an adapter plate that has the same footprint as the Hawkers and also elevates it...

Post in the parts wanted forum for the crank handle. One will turn up most likely. If not, I can send pictures of mine so you can fabricate one. They didn’t make a ton of these so it might take a while to show up.

Good score! That will clean up nice.

I would stop using it until the fluid and filter are changed. See if any surprises are at the bottom of the pan and fluid color and smell. Clearly something is wrong. Could be as simple as it was low on fluid and needed a filter change. Be prepared for the worst. These transmissions are...

Installed new shoes. Cooper AT3s They hold up extremely well to rocks and gravel, which I drive on daily. Replaced leaking steering stabilizer shock with another ACDelco part. It lasted 8 years. Kingpins are still nice and tight Greased front end. Also replaced a seeping injector return line...

Mine is used for much more than I ever thought it would be. I didn’t realize just how handy these are until I bought one. If I ever find another good deal on one I’m getting it.

The good deals are few and far between. I bid and lost on one a few weeks ago and it went for serious cash. Glad you found one.

Recommend also using Wix filters. Just like Oils, there is a difference in quality among the brands. I use Mobil 1 Motor Oil 10-40w and Wix filters on everything I own. Everyone has their own personal preference.

Still not the correct lever for the M101A2

That is not the correct brake lever. It will not work on the M101 series trailers.

Welcome to Steel Soldiers! Yes I completely agree that the M101A2 is the best utility trailer ever fielded. Yes You can remove the hub assembly and work on it that way. I left mine on. Made it easier for me knowing it wasn’t going anywhere while banging on it Heat, Liquid Wrench and lots of...

1 wheel or 2, use lots of lube and anti-seize to make your life easier. No such thing as too much. On my M149A1-2 water trailer, the large single wheel Jack was initially a pain to pull up into the stowed position. It was straight and would roll fine, but wouldn’t turn side to side. Typical...

A year is a long time for a mouse and friends. Now your going to have to check every bit of wiring.

……….I’m hungry now

Just for visual reference

I would love to have the three other size machines but that will probably never happen. I had been looking for the 1” machine at a decent price for years. 1” is the size I need most often. It is nice to be able to make them now.
