Looking for M105 parts supplier

[migz]

I am looking for some parts for my M105 trailer, does anyone know of a parts supplier out there that stocks parts for them, NOS not GL trailers that are being parted out? I hooked one of mine up the other day and have leaks in the air system. It looks like I need some parts for the emergency relay valve. I am also looking for new racks and bows. Does anyone know the names of the companies that were contracted to build the racks.


Thanks,
Mike

for the brake stuff, go to a decent brake shop that deals in big rigs. If you search for a thread I wrote on this exact issue, you'll find the part #'s that I got.

Saturn surplus carries parts for the 105. One of our members ,Taylor Trading Co, had some for sale as well as covers too.

Good luck

That should have read Taylor has bows and racks.

Read this thread, it has the part # for the relay valve.. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?t=20000&highlight=m105a2+trailer+brakes

Thats the most problematic part in the system. If you have leaks and it's NOT from that, replace the offending airlines.

Also, check the Master Cylinder for DOT 5. NO ONE ever checks them in the military, and I'd bet that most people dont even know the M105A2 series has hydraulic brakes.......

All,
Thanks for the information. I'm going to follow the leads provided. Emmando22, thanks for posting the link. It is very informative. I haven't checked the braking characteristics of the trailer with wheels off the ground. It will be the next PM check/action taken. Thanks for the suggestion.

Let me know too.

I have not set up a website for the military surplus business yet. I just got started in it recently. TaylorTradingCo is my user iD on here and I do have a website www.TaylorTradingCo.com for my tool company. You can e-mail me directly at Derek@TaylorTradingCo.com.

I only carry M35A2 and M105's, both complete and as parts. I have not chimed in here because everything I have will be take-off's and he said he did not want that.
