Love the Moon Pie sign (in the trailer)!
Full Disclosure: My sweetheart is a Tennessee Lamb, born-and-raised in the Moon Pie City (Chattannoga).

James, If it happens to be, shout out and maybe we can do lunch while you are passing through the big easy.

Moon Pie & a R/C Cola was a major treat in years gone by. Now they say it will rot your teeth & cause heart attacks. (They) are jealous of the times when simple things were treasured; we knew better than to eat a case of moon pies & a case of R/C cola @ one sitting.

Post Findlay '21 & M870A1:-
Must have measured all 60+ on site, found the only one that was 1 1/4" (&1") with hex hole... Fortunately I have a load of crow bars kicking around - one was 3/4" hex so it got decapitated. (Good-older ones are octagonal)
Got a pair of the 400mm deliniator plates from mwmules...
Picked up the last needed Crosby shackle (of 4) but that bolt is wrong - large bar of steel already in lathe, will turn down then thread at 5.5tpi. [Factory green one on left]
Other work done recently:
Spare tyre retainer...
Middle axle; wheels/hubs cleaned, new tyres, flaps, tubes, bearings and seals.
One bent cross member being straightened, will 'shrink' the stretched flange at some point ~ before paint and floor!

Looks great, zebedee!
Wondering where you grew up, where you're from? Do you have a UK background?

Installed new monroe shocks to my M101A1 today. The old ones were just a little bit wasted.

How were you able to decide which aftermarket part number was the correct one to use? I've tried searching by p/n from the TM without success.

I did the same - no results, no success. A good friend of mine changed the shocks on his trailer and they fitted perfectly. So I just did the copy and paste thing. Tell me if you need the correct part number.

Gas charged shocks over oe obsolete hydraulic shocks should make a noticeable difference.

G'day everyone,....
Not what I did with my M105A2 but I did print out the workshop manual for it, all 448 pages.
Printed it out on A3 sized paper, also had it double sided so that made the actual pages 224 pages.
Next job will be the manual for the Deuce.

Been maybe 6 months since I moved the trailer so I thought about the bearings and oil in my hubs. Took longer to get out the air compressor, air jack and wrench to cage the cans. Quick jack up, cage one side give the tires a good spin and on too the the other side. Put stuff away and same as before took longer to do that. Still glad I did the up grade S cam axle.
