I am sure you probably read my thread.
Notes from my experience as fyi.
Invest in a good line wrench and crow foot for the hoses. One was a bear to get off. I think it was 18mm. Check my thread.
4 bolts that will be for the extension need to be longer than stock for airlift. Do you have the...
Actually the locomotive you pictured was a special edition and I believe only one carries this paint and markings so it is a rare bird. Nice work on both :cool:
You are now an official rail fan...
That is a specialized frame, maybe some kind of drash or gen set trailer that has been heavily modified. Hmmwv tires and rims.
What is the weight? 3000lbs or lower?
These are the folk I have used. no complaints:

No way is it in Maine's system nor would they care. I assume you do not have a 17 digit standard vin, just a data plate so even doubtful NC could track it as they do not know military suppliers. Ma just wants their fee and a few $ for tax.
What model trailer is it? M116?
Why pay fees and taxes...
La is crazy stupid with Title and registration fees along with hefty late fees and require a title.
Probably like the former owner, I did not feel the need for a $75 piece of paper from GL or GP to go get a plate.
All my trailers are registered in Maine. They typically do not require a title for...
The kit also comes with an under the fender reinforcement if your truck does not have it. Those towers are pretty tough. I just feel OE solutions for seat belts have been engineered and tested for that application.
imho.
I would recommend when it comes to safety use true and tried parts. The rear bracket kit is the OE solution for the non armored versions. Which truck do you have?
The correct soft top rear curtain for a 4man will have the pockets for the seat belt, btw.
FWIW
I do think the cable I linked to on ebay is the correct one for m101a2
NSN 6105-01-168-7906 vs the tm 2530-01-168-7906
When I search in parts target the 6105-01-168-7906 it brings up the 2530-01-168-7906. I dont know what the first 4 digits stand for but maybe it is a supersede or different...
Abs is your friend.
All air brake components are civy items made by haldex and easily found at napa or HD stores.
After finding problem, I would recommend changing filter on dryer. Decaissant is probably shot.
I know there are 2 major surplus dealers in Europe but Guy would be your guide in Europe. I would check ebay but do not know how to search Europe.
There is this listing on ebay here with a different part number. I suspect it is for the m101a1 and the length is the difference. Probably longer as...
Those are the numbers stamped for the bearing and race set.
Very common and not special.
I cant imagine what eastern would want for international shipping as they are already outrageous on domestic shipping. Make sure you get a quote upfront. Ymmv
Oe is 10w plain oil.
Power stg fluid is 10w but has specific additives for anti foaming and anti wear on pump in it.
I would recommend power stg oil sold anywhere and will mix with 10w with no problems.
Plain 10w will be difficult to find as not commonly stocked.

I think you are going to have an interesting time with this unit. I believe they will default to the data plate and you are correct as I did not see a clear picture to see what date it has. Looks like an original data plate and a reset data plate.
Not sure where you live, but I suspect you will...
The Sf97 will have the date GP listed it even if it is wrong. They likely used the data plate date. GP are the ones who will print the sf97 as they are provided the blanks. What did the listing say?
FWIW, it will be nearly impossible to get someone there to fix it or give a hoot in getting it...
ABS working or not should not cause the grabbing/pulling. Wes is right of another issue possibly that the brake shoes can rust to the drum with little use. Very common on the tractors since they are totally exposed most of the time.
Due to the fact you are having issues at the front and rear, I don't think the LED is the problem as that would mean multiple fixtures giving you trouble. Troubleshoot your light switch, flasher, grounds, wiring etc. There is another gremlin you are chasing in my opinion that is not the lights...
This & BKubu practice is what I also have them sign and give them a copy. Many trailers used to have EUC and I had the owner sign the acknowledgment and gave them a copy. Not sure a m101a1 or m105 involves national security but Uncle can be a strange dude.
HMMWV more likely to be looked at to...
