I tried to mix unused multiweight oil into the diesel fuel with the same results that the OP posted about, same results as his. After running it for 50 miles in the 35-40mph range (anything above 40, made it start missing again) , I stopped for fuel & put in 15 gallons of fresh diesel fuel. This...

I wouldnt expect the manufacturer to fix this as it is surplussed & has been sitting on a shelf for many years some where. It is what it is & so it will be tied down again & left as a good waterproof top that has issues. It will still work well as a stationary cover.

I went to fuel up my deuce this past week & after pulling up the strainer & turning on the fuel nozzle, the diesel just sat in the strainer, none would flow thru. After removing & dumping the fuel out of the strainer & filling the tank; I saw a slimy green coating inside the strainer on both...

My latest M-105a2 trailer came with a new cover & remaned sides. The cover is the vinyl material with ropes on the sides & ends for tie downs & buckles closer to the top to close up the trailer for storage & transport. Of the 1/2 dozen I have, this one totally threw me for a loop trying to...

They don't always sell @ each auction either. They get relisted several times before someone with $$$ & a need bids on them. Again, Location, Location, Location! If you are watching & nobody bites, they usually lower the prices, but not always.

I wondered who won that unit. Good luck to you getting your manual & getting it up to speed.

Well, it looks like you are far enough from the Huey LZ to not affect your tent setup, nice job by the way. I will be recovering 2 more of the M-353 trailers this week while you are having a blast @ the Creek. One year, a few years back, there was a co-pilot there who had a Deuce like mine...

Either it has no batteries or they are dead as the control is not in the off position & no gauges indicate anything. Post up more pictures for a better look/see. Clocks/hour meters & odometers mean nothing in the military as far as actual time; as they can replace them when defective. We...

Follow the latest posters pressure & I would block the frame up on 4 corners just as piece of mind for the large weight you have on the wheels & springs. On the other hand, maybe I should try my on advice as I have a M-105 trailer I got from Floridianson 2 years ago that contains a trio of...

Try one of the larger Sherwin-Williams paint stores or go to their website. They offer it in gallon containers in 4 gallon minimum purchases.

These M-353 are nice trailers & are in excellent shape from the remanufacture process. I took one to work as a show & tell & it was sold before halfway thru the day. Guy needed a trailer to haul a diesel tank & that was all she wrote. I still have three left for generators & other stuff that...

Today will be the pressure washing of one of my Deuces to go to the MVPA meet in Green Cove Springs this coming weekend. Have to remove the green stuff growing on a tan truck, the camo truck grows black algae on it, so go figure that one out. Hopefully there is a good turnout, although the meet...

Floridanson says I lost my mind, but I won 3 remanufactured M-353's here in Florida & picked them all up this morning. Pictures only if requested as I was busy loading & driving & forgot to do the pictures thing. There were 39 of these units released @ the same time & they very well may be from...

Weight is no problem, ponding water on the cover is a different story from your Oregon Monsoons. Water will get trapped & start leaking like a funnel right on top of what you are trying to protect. I have found that if you put 1/2" to 3/4" foamboard on top of the staves & below the cover that...

This morning, James picked up & delivered a workshop shelter for me. The big issue was where it has to go in a tight space between two cedar trees in a major lovebugs storm. The huge lovebug storm was the worst I have ever seen due to the diesel engines running (his truck & my Deuce). I will not...

That is a sad lot of trucks that have been sitting for quite some time. Too bad they just let them sit untended for so long, I will pass even completing the tour as it is quite disheartening to look @.

Go with the M1101/02 & you will never regret it, unless you own a deuce or larger truck!

Listen to Frank8003, he knows how these machines react. Sitting kills them, running them makes them shine with proper maintenance. Welcome to the board & good looking truck. I have one very similar, but without the singles.

We use the anti vibration pads under 50 & 100 ton (BTU cooling) chillers that never move. 25 years later when they are removed from service, the pads have done their job, still in the same place. Your 802 is substantially lighter, but should work fine. If not, try the horse blanket approach!

I scored another M105a2 rebuilt trailer last week & brought it home yesterday. It is in great condition with new tires, paint & cover. The problem I have is that for the life of me, I cant get the side posts to insert all the way into the bed. In the past, a BFH & a block of hardwood would...
