    M116A? trailer rim question

    ZiggyO has the right idea. Just find a used rim from the older m37 or m101a1 trailers. Have a truck tire place mount the radial with a radial tube and be done with it for a spare. I have not found anyone at my location that will work on these except truck tire shop with old mechanics who...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Hanging in there. Working now in Baton Rouge but that is just down the road... Not much progress on mine except I used it with my m101 trailer all summer at Boy Scout camp without any issues. Fun ride. They had a golf cart for their previous directors. I said nah, I got my own toy :-) Just HOT...

    M1101 lug nuts

    I am not sure on the back spacing and hub circle specs off hand. Probably listed here on ss on another thread. Same wheel also for hmmwv.

    unidentified towed object

    I have done several trailers with Rust O leum then top layered with Behr Marquee and it has worked well. Home depot can mix any of the federal paint color codes. The Behr marquee current "green" is really flat. When put next to carc it is an extremely close match.

    unidentified towed object

    I would concour to the A1 designation as the the tall curvy parking brake handles were on the earliest m101's Very cool trailer. I have a m116 with a custom bed that used diamond plate similar to this. It was a radar trailer for aircraft traffic control. Army unit that I picked up at Ft...

    M1101 lug nuts

    The oe are just open face conical seat if you are using the factory plain steel wheels. If using oe gm factory alum or chrome wheels, I would think they are still conical seats. Typically only aftermarket wheels need deep extended thread that go into the rim. I can not tell from NAPA's...

    M1101 lug nuts

    see post #8 Any parts store will stock them. Extremely common. Say 3/4 Chevy Gmc pickup/vans 70-80's.

    Brake light on, locks up rears

    My experience in another world selling parts is that is a classic symptom of the portioning valve not working properly. Does the master cyl have a lot of brown sludge on the bottom? If so a flush, fill and rebleed might help? Physical inspection of brake hoses? Remove calipers from mounting and...

    M934 Winch Parts & Information

    all the parts are the same unless you have an A2 model? as the inside cab control tower is different. Don't recall is the cables are different also but everything else should be the same

    MTVR RECOVERY from Yermo cali to Georgia

    food for thought that the mtvr take different tow bar feet. They were on ebay periodically as no one wanted them.... Several sets available very reasonable! I am not the seller just sharing intel for those who are joining the 7 ton club. (Yes, I am officially jealous :) ) All the best with the...

    Just bought a water buffalo, M107A2 I think. What do I need to pull her home?

    some wd40 / jb blaster to spray onto the 2 pins/round cylinders that slide back and forth to lock the landing gear. The handle is pulled up but those pins like to seize/bind up. could be why the leg is not extended for storage. a farm / hi-lift jack might be handy to bring that puppy level to...

    Forward Air Control La Air Guard Below are the pics from the eye candy recruiter hmmwv but the com gear set up is very interesting. This was a forward air control truck at some point and that is what that small door was for. That slide out antenna base holder is very interesting. I might know...

    Replaced Battery Cable Installed Non GI Battery Clamps Now No Power?

    just a crazy thought but loosen the hold down bar to make sure the battery (s) is not internally cracked and the hold down is distorting the battery. Also check the wires underneath going to the starter and the pass through bolt in the body.
