    @Baloo Not to pick at nits here but looking for advice on LMTVs might get more help if it were not in a 9 year old New Member post. But I could be wrong.

    Just bartered for a trailer, please help!

    Well, if your picture is correct then 8-lug wheels won't fit you 5-lug hubs. You answer is now, you can't just swap wheels. You could get a new axle from eTrailer and massage it under there. About the tongue, here is a pic of my M1102 I just got last month. Obviously my other pintle is still...

    Just bartered for a trailer, please help!

    The A2 wheels will not work on your trailer as-is and if you want it to tow level then flip the lunette and add an adjustable pintle.

    Just bartered for a trailer, please help!

    I sold one to a coworker for hauling firewood and he has loaded it so full the rubber bumpers underneath touched the frame. BTW i'm guessing it was well over 3klbs.

    Just bartered for a trailer, please help!

    M101A2 has a General Motors 8-bolt pattern. The A1 has the M37 5-bolt. Easier to get spares for the A2. I just went to a junkyard up the stree and got a wheel and tire for mine. Like $35.

    Jeff, That's why I wanted to see the wheel. :)

    Just bartered for a trailer, please help!

    It looks like you have an M101A1. No surge brake is a big clue along with the weight on the data plate. I'd like to see a pic of the wheel showing the lug pattern.

    Need 3 or 4 M1101/M1102 trailer cover clips...

    It's like looking for Hen's teeth to get those clips, or everyone is ignoring me, which is more likely.

    M6 Rolling Wheel Liquid Transporter

    Maybe, who knows what crazy stuff an engineer would come up with. Pumping Nitrogen into it after filling with something liquid would help on unloading it as well as the aformentioned dual bladders. Hey, it's interesting and that is what counts as I'm sure no one would try to use it anymore...

    M6 Rolling Wheel Liquid Transporter

    ChatGPT says: An M6 rolling gas trailer refers to a type of military equipment used to transport compressed gases, typically for various operational needs such as fueling vehicles, aircraft, or other machinery. The "M6" designation suggests that it is part of the United States military's...

    M1070. Need new boot?

    TM-9-2320-360-24P.HETPARTS.pdf Page 2-532 That I downloaded from the manual section on this site. The zipper boot on a Deuce is not the same thing as the rubber sealing the rod end on the drag link assembly. It may feel like it should be replaceable and maybe it is but I wouldn't count on...

    M1070. Need new boot?

    I just looked in the parts manual for the truck and it looks like the whole bushing is what you replace. Just a guess though.

    Chucky's Worst Nightmare?

    Having a backhoe and seeing what happens when stuff is in the air and a line blows I would think there would be at least two maintenance support devices, one for each side, each capable of supporting the camper by itself. No way I'm getting under anything like that without something.

    New brush truck...should I keep?

    If you have an Interstate battery close by go there and pick up 2 of their special batteries they get from dealers that didn't sell them in time. Or you can get a couple of blemish batteries. You do not need 6TL Armalite as that is incredible overkill. Make sure the starter is the correct...

    New brush truck...should I keep?

    Looks like a keeper. Get the manuals and make sure the wiring of the batteires is correct and like Mullaney said, check for correct starter. A Deuce is pretty simple to start. Pretty easy to change engines too but I recommend doing the other stuff first.

    Tension Spring Safety Question

    That's easier than my idea of laying a dead raccoon across the spring to dampen the event......
