going to Coleman's again Friday 12/4

[ida34]

Mike,
I need a M101a1 parking brake cable if you can find one. I am talking about the trailer with the M37 wheels not the newer style with the eight bolt wheels. I will follow up with a PM also.

Thanks
Chuck

Okay, I'm back. Had a short day at Colemans, I got there late due to work issues (had to show up for a couple hours early, then took off with the tool set). I will be sending PMs to everyone, but to satisfy everyone's curiosity about what I brought back for people, here's the list of YES/NO on the want list:

E-AIR: I got your stuff you ordered from there, it's in the truck awaiting your pickup
CGarbee: YES - found a rear landing leg and mount for the M101 trailer
SrJeeper: YES - got a round deuce tow shackle for you, including the pin
chris837rj: Partial YES - have two headlight trim rings, sorry no dice on the winch shaft and turn signal controls
M1075: NO - only parking brake cables for M101 trailers are on good ones that they don't want parted out
Opie: NO - looked in 8 trucks but didn't see any defroster deflectors, will try again next time
Ferroequinologist: NO - sorry no folding step bumpers or wrecker lights there, try TNJ Murray's
M215: NO - only M813 running board was on a good truck that they didn't want parted out
SCSG-G4: NO - sorry, no stainless sink for the MKT trailer. There were plenty of mess stoves, but the only MKT-85 trailer I found was in the process of being scrapped, the inside stuff was already stripped out
steelsoldiers: YES - have some M939-series pics for you, will post them soon of the one M930 tractor there
m38inmaine: YES - I have the final fuel line for a MEP-003 for you
oldchev4x4: NO - you wanted crank up landing legs for the M101 trailer. Did you mean M105 trailers? The M101 is the 3/4 ton CUCV trailer, all the ones there had folding landing legs like the jeep trailers.

Items I got for myself:

3 GRC-193 radio mounts - 1 new and complete, 1 used and stripped of cables, 1 has cables and is mashed
3 Mermite cans - enough to build one complete one, the other two are parts units
pile of MEP-003 spare parts to complete my 10KW genset
about 20 more sets of convoy light cables (will be going back in the Classifieds soon)
3 5-gal gas can mounts
dual rifle mount for deuce

Unfortunately, there was no towbar parts there this time. Also, the only parts truck that had a winch PTO on it that I could use for my deuce, had the front axle ripped off and was nose down in the mud, laying on the tranny. Also, found a HEMTT cab complete with very nice HEMTT seats, and a pile of other neat parts. However, by the time I found it I was out of time and had to go home.

Will post some pics soon.

Some pics from the day:

pic 1: Bunch of new coil springs in the scrap bins. Wish I knew what they were for.
pic 2: Line of MEP-003a gensets that I pulled parts from in order to complete mine.
pic 3: A HEMTT cab with DING DING a pair of NICE HEMTT seats in them. Wish I had more time yesterday to pull them....
pic 4: A lot of 2 aircraft loading vehicles, and 4 semi-truck tanker trailers.
pic 5-8: Pics of a M931 tractor for steelsoldiers - it has no engine and has a lot of parts pulled already, but it might be worth your time to scavenge off of.
pic 9: Some sort of boarding ladders, they are aluminum and have 4 steps. What are they for?
pic10: I see a pile of tiedown brackets in there, a M101 trailer leg, an old radio speaker, and a pile of white hooked thing I have no idea what they are....

After doing some research, I found those ladders are the proper ones for the MKT-85 kitchen trailers. However, if you notice the pics, they each have a "demil" on one side of them with a torch. I supposed they can be repaired with some bar stock and some bolts.

NO, definatly need the M101 crank up style landing leg for my M101 and M116.
Thanks for looking though.

Thanks Mike. If you do get a chance to go back, I really need some marker lights, both amber and red. Whatever you happen to find. I see 6 on the HEMTT cab alone.

But did you get the items I had on my Xmas wish list ??

 

[Crapgame]

Did you happen to see an M101CDN2 1/4 ton trailer? Its the M416-style trailer for the Iltis.
