Am trying too and I only want what I payed for it too.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
What about calling Memphis Equipment and asking about trading it for/towards a M101A2?Am trying too and I only want what I payed for it too.
Looks like a new hub behind the wheel with the obviously new lugs.After the run the Ga. rally the hubs were running hot. I am checking preload and topping off with Lucas hub oil on the M372A2.
Yes I want to see and thank youI'm taking apart the brake MC and lunette ring on my M1101 and will make an attempt to photograph it if anyone wants to see the inside. If that is already done, please give a reference. Not sure why, but I was expecting a shock absorber. I see there are springs but until the forged, lunette ring piece is out, don't understand the break away.
Are you going to do a wet kit off the truck or pony motorStarted the fab up on my hydraulic jacks for my trailer tounge and the lifting setup on the rear ramps on my M322
I also did some measuring for maybe adding a pusher axle to take away some of the tounge weight. It has 1800lbs empty of tounge weight plus a long deck in front of the tires doesn't help.
I have this 24v hydraulic unit i got from swamp. Should be enough to do both.Are you going to do a wet kit off the truck or pony motor

Sorry, no inside pics, but the instructions in the manual for reassembly coudn’t be clearer.Why did you disassemble it?
Any pics of the inside parts?
From the manufacturer's website: http://www.silvereaglemfg.com/military/cargo_trailer_ltt-l.shtmlI have my 1101 actuator almost entirely apart and will take pictures of the inside tomorrow. I didn't realize the shock was so small....yep one there. I'm having a hard time seeing what prevents it from seizing up when backing or even a place to put a bolt that locks it out.
NormB can you tell me what keeps it from applying the brakes while backing...it's not the two springs, they give the cylinder some ability to take a hard stop, but wouldn't prevent the brakes from applying when backing. Am I missing something?
Yep...."free backing" the literature says.From the manufacturer's website: http://www.silvereaglemfg.com/military/cargo_trailer_ltt-l.shtml
The freebacking system's built into the M1101/1102 trailers already. I THINK it's in the design of the leading-trailing shoes and some mechanical disconnect inside the hub's braking components, not in the surge brake portion.
It would be very easy to drill, say, a 3/8 or 1/2" hole for a hardened steel pin to run through the cast housing into the lunette shaft, but it looks like it's unnecessary.
NB
Yep...."free backing" the literature says.
The shock inside would be in the way to prevent simply drilling a hole but if the front pin were changed for a longer bolt, there could be an exterior block made that would keep the shaft from going into the housing.
I got off lucky. While I had some rusty crud inside, the shock was still in very good condition and simply cleaning, paint and lube will make mine good as new.
