I just finished wiring our trailer. Everything works, but I am a little uneasy with the 18 ga. wire. The wire on the trailer is 12 ga. Later I would like to replace the 18 ga. wire with at least 12 ga.

Here is how we did ours:

I just got off the phone from our local CHP office. The officer said that any vehicle over 10,001 lb. empty, needs to have the license plate with the month and year on the front. Here in California when they send you your plates, they only send one set of month and year stickers. So I will leave...

That is not what the chp said today. He might have been wrong. Our trash pickup was today and I did look to see which plate was on the front, and it was the one with the month and year on it. I will ask another chp officer tomorrow. It will be easy to move the plates around if need be.

I will take some tomorrow. Very simple to do, and does not restrict air to the radiator.

After talking to the CHP, I found out that the plate that has the month and year needs to be in the front. Just opposite of a car. I just finished installing both plates. A piece of cake. What I did was to purchase angle iron "perforated" that was 1/8 inch thick, with sides that are 1.5...

On our M923a2, there is two small holes on the top side of the front bumper. I am thinking about getting a angle iron that is 12 inches long, by 3/4 inch by 1 1/2 inch. You then can bolt the angle iron to the bumper and then drill two holes in the angle iron for the license plate. The 1 1/2 inch...

Thanks for all the help. I will tackle the wiring tomorrow. I just received our Historic license plates for our M923A2 , so I am putting them on first.

I just received our Historic license plates today. I did a search and did not find anything on where the license plates are placed. I will check tomorrow at the CHP office and see what they say. The front plate is the issue. Centered, it will be in line of the hood bar. I am not sure if CHP will...

I just received our license plate for our 2011 M1101 trailer. :clinto: My next project is to change the electrical plug end to a flat 4 pin type. I have already changed the bulbs to 12 volt. The next project after that is to figure out a way to lower the front of the trailer or raise the truck...

When connected, the trailer is a little front high. As you say, backing up is not an option. The main reason for purchasing the trailer is to connect to our truck and our jeep. I plan is to go camping with it.

I finally took a picture today. In the background is our M923a2. Check out the cameo tarps I use to cover the tires from the sun. The tires are brand new, and I want to keep them that way. I also have covers for our M1101.

We purchased a 2011 M1101 from GL and I wanted to remove the wheels and check if the bearing were greased properly. They were. Here are the original bearing makes and numbers. Inner bearing Koyo Hi-Cap 25580-N Outer bearing Koyo Hi-Cap 14125A Timken also makes the above bearings with the...

I did some checking and cross referencing these seals, and came up with these numbers. Dexter 010-047-00 transcom 413247 National 412920 And the best for the last is from Summit Racing for only $4.97 summit # axt-412920 2.250 I.D. 3.376 O.D. .375 width Thanks to Harleyhouse

Thanks,,, if I read it right, seal number 22532 "chicago/rawhide" will be a direct replacement. Thanks again.

I am about to remove the wheels from our newly purchased 2011 M1101 so I can check to see if the wheel bearings are properly greased. If I need to grease the bearings, the seals will need to be removed. Is there a commercial part number for the seals?

What is the turning radius? Our M923a2 takes most of our property to turn around. The HET might take out a few fences as it turns around. :-(

Ours has individual brake locking levers. So if the trailer is on a slope, you can set the brake on one or both of the wheels. You are sure right, our trailer is not moving by hand, at least by my hands. I can barely lift the front wheel off the ground. The back wheels are positioned behind...

If I spelled pintle hitch correctly, there would be less of a joke. lol The wheel is not rotating, therefore it needs grease.

One issue I will have is that to move the trailer around by hand, it is very heavy at the penal ring. On our trailer, it has stabilizer feet on the front and back. I have not had time to see how they work. "still raining". I might put something on my tractor to lift the penal ring and move the...
