Anyone have a source for M1101 / M1102 trailer tarps? I did place an ad in the Parts Wanted forum, but info on a source would be good to have here. -Ken

We had a guy at work whose exhaust fell down at the gate coming in. He zip-tied it up. There were sparks coming from under his car by the time he got to the street on the way home that night. We called him "Box of Rocks".

I should be able to be there the 4th (only).

TM9-2320-361-20 Chapter 8 (and possibly TM9-2320-209-34-2-1 Charper 12) cover everything with the brakes pretty well. For TM9-2320-361-20, start on page 8-18 (or page 592 in Adobe Reader). No, that's not a "girl" question- it's a normal newbie question (don't sweat it). There will be a few...

Hi All: I searched here and found all I could ever want in the way of the standard 2-gun M16 cab rifle mounts- what I am looking for, though, is how M16's were mounted on the driver's side, muzzle down. I have seen one picture and part of a video which show this as having been done in Vietnam...

I LIKE THAT Great if you're not doing a "restoration".

I did some work on it: the hitch was damaged; see this thread, pages 2 & 3: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?113731-m101a3-woes I took it for a test drive with an S-250 shelter in the back (about 775 pounds); got up to 65 mph in steps and no fishtailing even after causing it on...

Thanks Gimpy, I think I got it (good enough): internal dampener shown Careful heating with a torch to bend the parts back around and several steel blocks and shims in a hydraulic press made it happen; took about half an hour. I took it for a test drive with an S-250 shelter in the back (about...

yup

I regret missing it, but Daddy-supported family events were scheduled....

waaaah! waaaah!:roll:

Inside of my shelter; was a telephone switching center. Left side, then right side: Removing the telephone panels in the walls would allow for windows. There is some kind of blower (probably for ventilation) in the upper front wall.

The starter motor diagram is not accurate. It illustrates the connection as only going through the shunts; starters are series-shunt with the power going through the fields AND the armature. I don't remember if it's fields then armature, or armature then fields. But definitely power has to go...

I measured the trailers I have: M1102 and M101A3. From the center of the hub to the center of the hitch lunette was only a difference of about 2" (the M101A3 was actually longer), and they are the same width to the outside of the tires. So I think the biggest reason for better tracking was the...

Don't let the momentum make your engine over-rev and throw a rod; do like trains do and start over the crest with minimal speed; drop the air pressure in the tires for better traction (20 to 25 psi); like they said, keep the steering straight; don't go down at an angle to the grade which will...

R Racing: You may be right- didn't think of that. Will measure them when I have time.

I tried out my S-250 in one of my M1102's the other day. Loaded it in, but the legs I made were for the M101A3 and did not clear the wider M1102 sides, so had to block the shelter up about 3 1/2" (two 2x4's). I took it out and pulled the combo at 50 m.p.h., then 55, 60, 65, and 70; it was very...

Not planning to pull anything ridiculous, like over 7,000 lbs.: 1/2" hot-rolled steel plate, 1/2" steel rod for tow hooks, 7018 welding rod. Bolts into all the existing holes, even the pintle hitch shaft has enough length to not need a new hole for the nut cotter pin. I bent the offsets in...
