The trailer I intend to put my generator on is an M116A1. It has the M37 5-bolt wheel pattern. It had the two generators on it in a previous life. I wish to remove the front board and install the M116A3 toolbox on this trailer. The Toolbox I am looking for is this one (picture swiped from...

I am looking for a generator toolbox from either the M116a2 or M116a3 trailers. There may be more trailers that used that same box but I only know for sure that what I am looking for is on the a2 or a3 trailers. I am in Washington State Thanks, Robert

Hello, New MEP-803A owner. It’s a December 2006 model. It has 33 hours on it. I have already installed the Fuse mod using the kloppk kit. It has year old Group 24 batteries that are taller than the Group 34 batteries. So much taller that the hold-down J hooks will not hold them in. I am going...

I am looking for an easy source for an equivalent paint. I would prefer something in the Rustoleum Professional line of spray paint. Looking at the Rustoleum website, they have two colors that may be close. A Sunburst Yellow and a Tuscan sun. Has anyone out there ever used one of these...

Yes the front bumper has what I will assume are the "paperclips" on the front bumper.

I have seen this on two different trucks. It is exactly the same, making me think that it may be some sort of military-ordered bracket. I believe the shackle may be on backward, and no, I am not asking about the license plate angle Iron added to the bottom

All, This is a long shot, but I am trying to remove the 4 top bows from my M116a1. Yes, they are rusted in there. Does anyone have any tricks on getting them out short of cutting them off, peeling out the rusted-in pieces, and then adding extensions back to get the original length?

It's more like .80 cents per foot by the time it's shipped. Most of the Ebay listings are the same or more. Dunno if I can buy this from the Wire suppliers but it is $277.99 per 1000 feet. Maybe when I have nothing else to buy I will buy a roll for the M37, the Mule and my M101a1 and M116a1,

I have had my crimpers for years and probably bought them from the old Boeing Surplus Store. I have bought the connectors from many places. eBay, online Vendors, I have never had a problem purchasing the Packard connectors

I have to rewire a M116a1. I have the Packard connectors but am looking for a source for a harness or raw Milspec wire. Thanks, Robert

Thanks! I do think I can make that

I have no intention of keeping the combat rims. They are dated 42 on one and 43 on the other. I noticed that the cable for my trailer is listed as shorter that the a2 and a3. Searched Ebay and found two! thanks

I have never actually seen one of these covers. It appears to be something easy to make, but I am looking for dimensions and or photos of one of these covers that would fit an M116a1 or an M101a1, for that matter. Item 5. Thanks, Robert

The trailer actually had WWII Combat rims on it—the Standard Budd 5-lug rims. I now have some used M37 rims and tires on it. So yes, it has the early axle with the 900x16 rims and lock-ring rims. The brake handles are frozen up well, and the aluminum adjusters are all corroded and falling apart...

has anyone purchased any of these levers in the last 6 months or so?
