    MEP-002A Exhaust Question plus Machine Resurrection

    I knew it wasn't a drop-in part and would require drilling. It was very easy to install. Just posted the pics and info for anyone else who's interested and might need to do same thing. Definitely a plus on the money part. I never found a NOS exact replacement part anyway. My Fluke and...

    MEP-002A Exhaust Question plus Machine Resurrection

    New part arrived Not exactly as the old one and mounting holes didn’t line up. I already knew this before ordering part thanks to another thread. Just made a template and was able to reuse one of the original holes. Expanded one other and Drilled two new holes. Sealed the other holes with mil...

    M1101 Fire Set Up

    They ride surprisingly well. (Old Fire Finder Radar Trailer modified by Raytheon). I took this setup, full of water and Dawn dish soap, all over rough dirt roads and the ranch itself to agitate the water for a good cleaning inside. Worked very well. (Edit; Picture shows full tank, but the tank...

    Post is almost 10 years old. I’m sure it’s long gone by now.

    MEP-002A/003A Frequency Transducer Replacement

    Received the new replacement transducer. Question about the wiring. The +- wires are obviously easy to figure out. What about the other two marked L? Original one is marked 1 and 2 Looks like it wouldn’t matter but I’m not sure.

    M1101 Bearing set

    I have not. Some on here have done it on the M101A2’s. If they fit on yours, why not. I personally have no interest in using them. I like to have eyes on the parts when adding grease.

    M1101 Bearing set

    Don’t hope…….CHECK If you haven’t physically looked at your bearings yet, recommend you do so ASAP. They are probably fine, but lots of examples of trailer looking just fine, and bearing’s are toast with rust and/or no grease, etc.

    M1101 Fire Set Up

    Great setup Hard to tell from pics, but it looks like the IBC tote needs secured better to the trailer itself. That’s a lot of water weight and the bouncing around in your area could cause load shifting issues.

    Parts for M1101 Brakes.

    That appears to be a free-Back unit. Allows trailer to be backed up loaded and it will not apply the brakes as you back up a hill. Dexter makes them. It’s a great system. They also make them as an upgrade to the M101A2-3 trailers so you no longer have to use a lockout pin. Everything you...

    Black Hawk

    All it takes is money. What it takes to get one of these legal to fly, let alone to make any money with it, is astronomical. Background checks, pilot training, parts, inspections, overhauls, operating costs, certification's, etc. Yea, auction price is cheap. This one is going for more than...

    M116a1 brake cables?

    The TM's for your trailer are free for download on this site. The parts manual will have the part number your looking for. Actually finding the correct ones for sale might be another matter.

    MEP-002A Exhaust Question plus Machine Resurrection

    I don’t think so. No evidence of it being flooded to be found. It has however, been sitting outside uncovered for years in rain and snow. The panel was probably facing to the SW and would directly catch the spring thunderstorms full fury. What’s the fun in getting a surplus machine that...
