Not sure what color to paint the trailer yet. It's been converted to 12v tail lights (light gulbs)and an M series trailer receptacle is newly installed on the pick up truck. Not sure about a tan mule Mike. I do have the bows and a green top so we may be going with USMC green on the trailer.
I have been welding, cutting, welding and ginding on the M416A2 generator trailer since Gilbert to get it ready for its transformation from generator platform to be an accecptable mule hauler. The distance between the fenders was increased, tie down slots were cut into the deck with plate steel...
I was unable to cross reference the shock number from the manual (thanks ACE) but was able to match up a shock from NAPA the number is 94190 for the shock. It comes with the correct rubber bushings but you need to reuse the washers.

I put a newer set of front tires on the deuce after I removed the rear drive shaft because the front tires were not wearing eavenly. While getting fuel after a 15 mile run on pavement at 55 MPH I checked all the bearing/hubs for heat. They were ok. I put my hand on the front tires and they...
So on the hottest day, today, I decided to address the 90W axle oil leaks on the deuce. Since I removed the rear drive shaft in an effort to prevent front tire scuffing the middle axles started to leak. The lug nuts came off easily with my 1/2" Milwaukee electric impact wrench. The bud nuts...
