M146 trailer recovery and restore/RV conversion

Lifting eye pulling tool?
Not sure what that is your refering to sir.

I'd say he was refering to the four lifting points that we have onthe trailers that seem like they would slide out for lifting. In the end of them is a threaded hole. I had the same thought, that there was something that threaded into them so that they could be pulled out.

No threaded hole in mine, but i have seen a couple different styles of pull out lifting rings.

The manual indicates a threaded tool was stored in the spare bulb box under the trailer. Its a small box next to the box where the shore cable is stored. Mine was missing. my lifting rings did have the threaded hole for it. They were so corroded it was very difficult to extract them without the tool.

I have not made much restoration progress yet on the M275. Have been moving to a new house. It has slowed things down to snails pace. Trying to erect a barn so I can work out of the elements first. Been collecting a number of replacement parts. exhaust, windshield ,doors, van windows, tires, wheels, wheel lifts, swench sets, brake fluid, oil etc. I did rebuild the air pack and am getting it remounted now.

Insurance is still an issue but I think I found an agent willing to do it for agreed value. Need a state trooper to come by and verify the serial number. Wanted to wait till I had the insurance lined up before trying to register it.

I just spent some more time w/ my TM and couldn't find that referance anywhere. I'd always figured that was what would have been used just never saw it mentioned.
