    Batteries

    Optima Red I have them in everything except my M1008A1 and it has a new set of Hawkers. Just installed an Optima Red in a mint 1998 Suburban K1500 I just picked up. Have Optima Blue in my Airstream. Optima makes an adapter plate that has the same footprint as the Hawkers and also elevates it...

    Converting an NF2 Trailer to a mobile Solar System

    Post in the parts wanted forum for the crank handle. One will turn up most likely. If not, I can send pictures of mine so you can fabricate one. They didn’t make a ton of these so it might take a while to show up.

    Need help with transmission

    I would stop using it until the fluid and filter are changed. See if any surprises are at the bottom of the pan and fluid color and smell. Clearly something is wrong. Could be as simple as it was low on fluid and needed a filter change. Be prepared for the worst. These transmissions are...

    M149A1 Water Buffalo with A2 Tank.

    Mine is used for much more than I ever thought it would be. I didn’t realize just how handy these are until I bought one. If I ever find another good deal on one I’m getting it.

    M149A1 Water Buffalo with A2 Tank.

    The good deals are few and far between. I bid and lost on one a few weeks ago and it went for serious cash. Glad you found one.

    1984 cucv Engine oil type 6.2l diesel

    Recommend also using Wix filters. Just like Oils, there is a difference in quality among the brands. I use Mobil 1 Motor Oil 10-40w and Wix filters on everything I own. Everyone has their own personal preference.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    That is not the correct brake lever. It will not work on the M101 series trailers.

    M101A2 trailered home from auction. This is why.

    Welcome to Steel Soldiers! Yes I completely agree that the M101A2 is the best utility trailer ever fielded. Yes You can remove the hub assembly and work on it that way. I left mine on. Made it easier for me knowing it wasn’t going anywhere while banging on it Heat, Liquid Wrench and lots of...

    1-wheel vs 2-wheel landing gear

    1 wheel or 2, use lots of lube and anti-seize to make your life easier. No such thing as too much. On my M149A1-2 water trailer, the large single wheel Jack was initially a pain to pull up into the stowed position. It was straight and would roll fine, but wouldn’t turn side to side. Typical...
