    How to control trailer air-brakes?

    Ah, ok. It seemed to me that you were asking if that valve was used to adjust the braking percentages. There is no adjustment between truck and trailer brakes other than your foot. You could probably climb under and adjust one set tighter than the other, but I don't think it is an issue at all...

    How to control trailer air-brakes?

    Normally, you don't touch the trolley valve at all. The only time I use it is when I'm checking to make sure the trailer brakes work during my pre-trip. Trailer air is supplied by simply pressing the brake pedal in the cab. Yes, both the brake connection behind the cab and at the rear of the...

    Matt1970M35A I found a picture and it weighs 152lbs. There is no fuel tank on top like this one though, it is below the frame so stuff could be stacked on it. http://greenmountaingenerators.com/product/mep-531a-2kw-military-diesel-generator/

    Giving up on M135.........

    Try bypassing it. If they work and go back in correctly, then your airpack is at fault. I wouldn't drive very far or fast without the airpack though, as it takes quite a bit of foot pressure to stop one even unloaded.

    Can someone haul a 2k gen back to the OH area for Matt? It weighs maybe 300lbs and is not that large. I was supposed to get it to him for Haspin but I couldn't make it this year.

    I can bring any of my wrecker parts or winches to the rally. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?111268-Winches-and-wrecker-bits I am looking for a set of 4 axle backing plates off a 900 series truck, with the air brake chambers and all guts. If anyone is scrapping a truck or has extra...

    Combination spring and service brake chamber rebuild

    Honestly for just a few more dollars than the diaphragm, you can buy a whole take out unit from several sources. I took one apart once and I don't want to ever have to do it again. It was like working on something with a cobra right there coiled and ready to bite.

    M543 Crowd cylinder may be leaking

    When I pulled the cylinder out of mine, I pulled the boom out first. you would have to have the outer boom out at least a few feet to get to the pin to release the cylinder, so you couldn't pull the cylinder without having the boom out and supported some way.

    ETS DITY Move with M932 Fort Benning, GA. to Oregon

    I pulled a 26ft M146 trailer with my M35a2 when I did my DITY move back to SC from Norfolk VA when I got out of the Navy. I used a dolly that was constructed from a military M200 trailer and a civilian 5th wheel. I had VA DOT look it over and say he thought it was just fine. Had brakes on all...

    Official 2013 SS Georgia Rally Info SSGR13 thread

    Lol I was just being funny. Here's my real bus- I don't smoke unless I'm on fire. I'd probably act like a normal person if I took any 'mind-altering' substances, since my normal state of mind is crazy.

    the XM971 "command camper" build

    I pulled one of these trailers off base for a friend recently. That air ride is something else... the trailer just FLOATS down the road. I'd get my teeth knocked out in the M915, and look behind me and the trailer is like it was bolted to the air- steady as a rock. I bet I could have put a glass...

    I helped Neil list his truck and trailer on Ebay. I hope to get him one way or another (I still have several rolls of 300mph tape around here somewhere. Maybe get Amanda to let me borrow her pink cuffs for him)

    Possible Rim Alternative

    I figured the tire wouldn't stay, I ment the rim by itself. Nice there are 6 lug rims too. I'd try to use them because they would look right.

    Possible Rim Alternative

    I'd be worried about balancing etc at highway speed. Are those trailers designed to be pulled at 55-60mph? Might have a DOT guy looking for missing studs and or lugnuts on the side of the road running those as well.
