Trying to make it easier to read.

H How about a paragraph or two?

I would check with your states DOT officer to see if it’s road legal. The Military can tow around whatever it wants. Once in civilian hands, that perk goes away. Doesn't matter if it has brakes, reflectors, wiring plug, etc. Height, width, tire size, load rating, lighting, intended use...

Early Christmas! Perfect sized trailer for the compressor.

That truck is far from unmolested. I like what looks to be the starter relay hanging under dash.

I wash the engine on my M1008A1 every month or so. Engine is turned off and I stay away from alternators and air intake opening. Simple. No issues at all. Doing it for over 3 years. Same for every vehicle I own. 2006 GMC Sierra and 2008 Chevy Silverado included. Have to wash my...

Plow = Abuse and salt. I wouldn’t give that truck a second look. Now the UH-1H and two AH-1s in the background........I would pay good $$$ for those. Can you PM me any details about that location and Helo owners?

eBay will have those pictures. Any boat upholstery shop also can make up a cover.

Have you bypassed the fuel pump and ran a hose from a fuel can direct to the IP? That will tell you for sure if it’s the IP or a plugged line or air pocket. Last I read you had fuel at filter bleed screw, but nothing going into the IP. Obviously nothing coming out. I had to apply some light...

I drive my M1008A1 off road almost every day on the ranch. A lot of driving is on barely improved dirt roads between my land parcels. Lots of holes and bumps. Occasionally will hit the “WTF was that!”. No cracks or fender issues and the Hawker 6TAGMs tip the scale at 88lbs each.

Well at least he’s starting to fix known problems and not using ether.

The Hawker and Odyssey 6AGMs are the best on the market. Same price range as you’ve already found out. My Hawkers are almost 4 years old and still solid. You definitely get what you pay for in battery’s. When I had my 5 ton, I did get 4 of the $200 6TLs and they worked fine. Checking the...

6TLs are what the trucks left factory with. They will fit and work great. Only pic I could find showing both battery’s in my truck.

Yes I did. I still recommend replacing parts that you know are bad before doing anything else. More ether is making problem worse.

I replaced the shocks on my trailers and it made a huge difference in the ride. Much smoother! The old shocks were completely shot. I have stock rims and tires on both. E rated. If you go with a HMMWV tire or similar, it will raise the trailer up a few inches. Makes reaching for something...

If you know all those parts are bad, replace them before trying to start it. Do not use ether unless you want to rebuild engine. Ether also will break the piston rings. Ruins compression.

Actually I’m working on moving all the non gen threads out of the generator forum. Finished the first pass. Working on a second now. (Edit: Finished) Will do a third to make absolutely sure I didn’t miss anything With over 270 pages to go through, it is time consuming, but I asked for it...

Good luck. Most parts, especially instruments, are servicable (to a point) and the Bell 206A+/OH-58 is still flying around the globe today. Parts are in demand and some are very hard to find outside the “circle” of operators. One of the first things done to a crashed Helo is to strip off...

A Lot! That’s the great thing about these trailers. M101/M105 You can overload them over rated capacity and they come out unscathed. Amazing trailers!

That’s a lot of trailer to paint! I would like to see one painted gloss black Red would work. A few other colors too. Sure, a fresh coat of tan or OD would look great, but isn’t always fitting in a commercial application. It’s the bad paint jobs I hate. Nothing or very little taped off...
