I know its been awhile, but I didn't forget about the leaf count. It has 15 leaves (not counting the overload), for what its worth. Also threw in a picture for everyone's viewing pleasure. As a bit of an update, I haven't found any new downsides to it and its actually grown on me a lot and I...
I can't really speak to a comparison to that axle , even though we do use one for a water carrier with a ~750-1000 gal poly tank in/on it (which goes without saying, that suspension is plenty heavy), I've never really paid much attention to it, but I can say the suspension on an M353 is plenty...
Thanks,
I believe I ran across a picture of one of those trailer setups when searching for ideas for my trailer. I had never heard of it before, but I seem to remember it having an HPU, welder, and a big hardigg style case mounted on it. It looked very intriguing, I would have liked to seen...

As for the tires did you look at them before airing them up? Yes, no signs of dry...
Thanks,

I can see this (as mentioned above), the fact that the timing cover has been removed before, leads me to be suspicious.
I am currently attempting to purchase a '91 model M936A2, it was still in the military as late as '06-'10; took the first trip to look it over (4.5hrs away) and check it out. It is personally owned, already titled, and ready to use. I would like some advice on the value of it and some help with...
