    M101a CDN Trailer refurbish

    Can you post some close up pictures of where the front rack and rear gates mount, and maybe the approximate size they should be? The American m101 series racks might fit it.

    M101a CDN Trailer refurbish

    That actually is a Canadian trailer, it is very similar to the American m101a2 trailer though.

    Project Time.. M101a1 picked up today

    Nice trailer, on superlugs too! The m101s are a great general purpose trailer.

    Civilian Jeep trailer Identification

    Bantam? From what I can tell the trailer was originally red with black fenders. I've been researching prewar Bantam trucks and noticed a common paint scheme is red with black fenders. Also they had 6 lug wheels with hubcaps similar to the spare on the front of my trailer. Also, it looks like...

    Civilian Jeep trailer Identification

    The tailgate is definitely not homemade, but it did have the angle iron brace added to the top and the hinges were changed. It looks to have had 3 hinges originally. The springs and axle look factory, but were moved about 3 inches forward and welded(you can't get to the bolts with the floor in...

    My M101A2 build..

    If the tires are in good shape (not cracked) you can get around $100 each on the wheels. If the tires are junk you can sell the wheels for about $50 bucks each. They will fit Dodge Power Wagons and m37s.

    got myself a 1985 M1028A3 Dually CUCV with 28.xxx miles

    28,000 is not unrealistic for a CUCV, especially a dually shelter carrier. My SRW m1028 has just under 40,000 which I believe to be accurate. I did have a m1009 blazer that had about 7,000 on the odometer, with the last listed mileage at 97,000 so they can roll over in the military. However...

    1953 M101A1 RESURRECTION

    The brakes themselves are also different on the original m101s vs. the m101a1s, and early m101s would have a separate light cable that connected to a receptacle between the handbrakes. Later ones use a cable that is wired in through a junction box on the drivers side of the a frame, same as the...

    It did not have a title, and I was told it was registered as homebuilt.

    LET'S PLAY WHAT IS IT & WHATS IT WORTH?

    I would say its worth about $500 if its solid.

    LET'S PLAY WHAT IS IT & WHATS IT WORTH?

    That's a modified m416. The dataplate is supposed to be at the back right. The wheels are not original, looks like the axle isn't either, the shocks are factory. Looks like an earlier one with the extra mounting tabs on the tub and no crossmember over the axle.

    Civilian Jeep trailer Identification

    I just picked up this jeep trailer, and am having some trouble identifying what it is. It looks to be very similar in construction to ones made for Willys by Sterling and American Fire Apparatus Co, but there are some differences such as the tailgate chains and the stake pockets. It has had...

    2011 Schutt Industries LTT 1 1/2 Ton Trailer Chassis based Adventure Trailer Build

    Yes you'll want a rotating pintle for towing a m1101/m1102 off road. On m105s the hitch can be flipped around for height differences but does not swivel, deuces and 5 tons have a rotating pintle.

    Military Trailer title?

    Since he bought it from GL he got an SF-97. That is the certificate to obtain the title. It is non-transferable, so it is of no use to you. He needs to use that to get the title, then transfer the title to you.

    Mike's M416 Rebuild

    The feeler gauge method mentioned in the tm is what was changed by TACOM, because it was a precision measurement on a "rough, painted surface" which could be ineffective. According to the change you should tighten the nut "until it stops" then loosen it a full turn, then line it up for the...

    Mike's M416 Rebuild

    According to an equipment improvement report from TACOM it doesn't require the surface to be stripped, and the lunette should turn with a great deal of force by hand or with pressure from a cheater bar.

    M416 parts?

    All m416 trailers originally had 4 welded sides, many had the backs removed or converted into a tailgate after life in the military (and a few were removed in the military).
