Once everything comes in & I mount it, I will share some details. Want to be sure it all works out first! I plan to just connect it to the existing connection on the generator so there isn't a whole lot of modification. I can then also remove the hose quickly to attach to another source if I...

Spent some time on the trailer today. Got a bottle of DOT 5 fluid from the local auto parts store. The master cylinder was empty. Filled it & bled the brakes according to TM-9-2330-202-13-P work package 53. Page 265 of the .PDF file. After getting the air & crud out, the system seems to be...

It is just part of the pigtail that would attach to the military truck. Basically is a rubber block that has connections in it that you can't get too. You can see it in the video I posted in the post above this when I remove my military pigtail harness.

I wanted to share my video here as it may be helpful. Also, here is what I found for wires with a 4 pin & 7 pin harness. For a 7 pin harness; Green goes to 21 Brown goes to 22-460 Red goes to 22-461 White is the ground For a 4 pin harness; Green goes to 22-460 Yellow goes to 22-461 Brown goes...

Honestly, I haven't really dug in on them yet. All I did was go get some DOT 5 fluid today. My truck is big enough that I don't really need them but would like them to work. I have never worked on a brake system before except on an ATV... never needed too. I have the TM to guide me. I'm...

Thanks. Browsed some of your threads & saw the MOV modification... don't have it done on mine I believe. Will check tomorrow & order the needed parts if it isn't there. Pretty sure it's not. Only the fuse.

Added a link to the video I put together in post #1. It's still uploading as I type this, so it may not be available right away. Long & boring, but should help anyone looking to covert their trailer.

Here's what it looks like with all the work done & ready for my MEP-802A to be mounted. Here's what it looks like after I mounted the generator. Put the accessory box & step plate that I removed at the start of the project on in my own spot.

Yes, it seems like they will be trouble free once I get them working.

Generator is all mounted up. Pulls great. I must say that the unit runs much more quiet on this trailer than my other one. I put the accessory box & the step plate in a different spot. Not sure what to do on the other end yet. Thinking about a fuel tank.

Everything is done on the trailer & the service department at my local Kubota is going to move the generator over for me this afternoon! I did discover that there is a little brake line damage. Will probably need to replace the lines to repair. Shouldn't be bad but it isn't necessary right now.

Zed254 in my MEP-802A Fix-up Thread shared a link to some of the parts for the surge brakes along with a parts break downs. You will need to know your exact model on your trailer, but cross referencing the TM part numbers with this website will find you want you need...

Didn't know this & it was shared in my MEP 802A Fix-up Thread. Wanted to share it here. On my trailer, the holes don't line up so you can't get a bolt through. Later down the road, I will pull the lunette ring off & make the internal hole bigger so I can do this.

Got it all figured out & finished yesterday. Will update with pictures later. Apparently the required hook-up with the 7 pin harness I had was different. I noticed that the cover on my truck connection had what each pin was supposed to connect too. Confirmed with multimeter & changed up...

So, I started working on the trailer. Used the information I found here on the forum & wired up the 7 pin RV type connector that I ordered. Matched the green wire to 22460, Yellow to 22461, Brown to 21, & white to ground. Put in the proper 12v bulbs to the existing housing. Only the right side...

So I placed an order with eTrailer. Got an adjustable pintle hitch. I have one already but it's a bolt on type. Since I will need to adjust more with this new trailer, it was my excuse to buy the quick adjustable one so it's easy to hook up to any of my trailers. Ordered the 7 pin wire pigtail...

GuyFang posted these two Tactical Manuals that can be used for the M116A3 trailers; TM 9-2330-202-14&P TM-9-6115-659-13&P

Zed254 on my MEP Fix-up Thread posted this information for the military handle for the tongue jack; From TM 9-2330-202-14&P, Fig 17 8 PAOZZ 5340013863974 19207 12441073 HANDLE,BOW.......................... 1 UOC:CT1,SPR,TC1,258,263

Started looking at TM 9-6115-659-13&P & it seems like this trailer was from a PU-797 setup. In that TM, I can't find the parts diagram for the tongue jack. I'd just replace it with a commercial one, but everything with it works find except the missing handle for cranking it. Is there is a...

I decided to make a new thread with all the trailer work called M116A3 Fix-up & Conversion Thread so this one stays somewhat on topic with the MEP 802A. :)
