    Did the supply of M101A2s and 3s dry up??

    Exactly the info I was looking for. I knew when I was at RRAD and didn’t see a single one......that wasn’t good. Of course there they would probably scrap them.

    Any of you guys that visit Military Post/Bases often, seen any sitting around?

    Did the supply of M101A2s and 3s dry up??

    Plural? 1500lb axle is way light on a trailer that weights almost that empty. Almost all private ones I’ve seen have been jacked with in one way or another. Hence....Wanting it straight from Military.

    Exactly.

    Did the supply of M101A2s and 3s dry up??

    That’s my personal preference. Around here, the prices are always much higher than auction prices. I’ve seen some good deals but in the wrong areas. Transport costs kills the deal.

    I think it’s a little more in depth than just the column switch. Search the forums as it’s been covered in detail before on what exactly you need to do.

    Did the supply of M101A2s and 3s dry up??

    I can find them for sale from private sellers all day long. I’m talking about government (Military) owned ones that come up for auction.....or used too. I don’t “need” another one, I “want” another one and prefer my rolling stock straight from Military, not private owners. That’s just me...

    Did the supply of M101A2s and 3s dry up??

    Didn’t see that one. Maybe their like the 5 tons. Very few for auction every week now, but I see dozens upon dozens in the background of the GP pictures. Same story with the M105A2’s. They were almost giving them away not long ago and now it’s a few here and there. Definitely not cheap...

    Did the supply of M101A2s and 3s dry up??

    I haven’t seen any at auction for quite some time now. Wanting another one and none to be found at auction. I know there are plenty for sale from individuals, but I prefer mine straight from Military. GP was selling them weekly and then they slowed to a trickle and now nothing. Anyone seen...

    Pintle hitch brake: shock absorber?

    The surge brakes are wonderful when properly maintained. The M101A2/3 trailers were not very well maintained by the military and can be a bit pricey to bring back to life. The surge shock being one of the most expensive items to replace. Money well spent as these are great trailers. Once...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Good idea. Will have to check it out at Harbor Freight after our ice storm passes. Could use small Crane like that in my M101A2. Edit. Looked at the website Handy item for sure Looks like I’ll have to get one.

    Pintle hitch brake: shock absorber?

    Which surge brake assembly? M101A2/3 or M1101/2? Just saw a brand new military surplus brake assembly for the M1101/2 on eBay a few days ago. Croft Trailer usually has the prices and have excellent customer service. They do have the best price available for the M101A2/3 assembly’s shock...

    CUCV Starting issues

    Your on borrowed time. As mentioned, it only works for so long and then it will fail completely. It’s telling you it needs fixed and ignoring the warning signs by still tapping on it will definitely leave you stranded at the worst possible location, in bad weather and during a time when...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Ah Not GM or ACDelco then. Gates maybe? That is a critical hose and want the best.

    Hood wont open, anyone had this happen?

    Grease there would be great but I drive on dirt roads and pastures a lot and encounter lots of dust. The spray lube works good and doesn’t collect the dirt like grease would. If it was greased, I would end up with a clod of dirt and lots of extra wear. When I wash the engine, I clean the...
