M101A3 parking brake cable length

[AOR]

Does anyone know the length of the parking brake cable for the left side on an M101A3 trailer? The one on mine went behind the pulley and chewed it all up. It's about to snap. In the TM I see three different lengths to choose from. I am hoping to not need to take the cable out to measure it. Any info would be appreciated thank you.
if a cable is not available has anyone been able to repair these? After doing more research I found a few sources online stating the 74" is what my trailer uses also
I assume out of the three choices I will need the 74" cable since I think the A3 model has a wider or high clearance rear axle? based on this I am looking for

I saw your parts wanted thread, and you have it right. But thought I would explain how to use the RPSTL, (Repair Parts and Special Tools) listing, to get the info you want. All the information you needed to figure out which cable you need, was in your post. Except one thing. As soon as you see a UOC code in the parts listing, go to the front of the RPSTL and scroll down until you find Special Information.

UOC:CT1,TC1

Below was the one thing missing. Special Information. Its listed in the front of the RPSTL, (or better called, parts manual).

SPECIAL INFORMATION
UOC. The UOC appears in the lower left corner of the Description Column heading. Usable on codes are shown as "UOC:..." in the Description Column (justified left) on the first line under the applicable item/nomenclature. Uncoded items are applicable to all models. Identification of the UOCs used in the RPSTL are:

Code Used On
257 M101A1
263 M101A2
TC1 M101A3
646 M116A1
258 M116A2
CT1 M116A3

The UOC for your trailer is TC1. You posted:

Lets break this down.
1. The numeral 1, is not needed. Its simply item 1 of the listing.
2. PAOZZ SMR Code. It is also not needed for your question.
3. Is the NSN for this part. 2530-01-429-8346
4. Is the CAGEC code. That's the name of the company that SUPPLIES the part to the Government. That is not always the company that manufactures it.
5. Is the Part Number. 15641501
6. Is the item description. CABLE AND CONDUIT A 74 INCHES LONG.
7. The last number, 1 is supposed to tell you how many of these items are on the trailer. In this case, its a typo, because you need two brake cables.
8. Is the UOC for this part. CT1,TC1. And that matches your UOC for your trailer.

Simple. As long as you know the UOC for your trailer.

THANK YOU GUYFANG! AS ALWAYS YOU HAVE BEEN A HUGE ASSET TO STEEL SOLDIERS!


I am a Jeep mechanic and I figured they meant something similar to sales codes that the dealer can tell us which option that is.
I am going to practice this and thank you for confirming 100% that 74" is the correct cable for my model. Now I just need to find one. I am not sure what happened but somehow it got under the pulley and got damaged.

Orscheln Products is the supplier. Try phone # 660-269-3942

I am not sure what happened but somehow it got under the pulley and got damaged.

This happens often, when the cable is too loose.

thanks I will try that company. I just got this trailer they had that size adjuster in the drum in its shortest position . Both of my levers are seized up and do not rotate. I have not been successful in the past freeing them up.

The hand brake assemblies are notorious for rusting up. Look at this thread. Hit @Tinstar up for some info also.
