Finally installed the two missing battery hold down studs. Only took 5 years......... Bought 1/4” stainless steel threaded rod and cut to length. Next time I have the top trays off, I’ll cover the middle with shrink sleeve to prevent any chafing. It was one of those items that I knew about...

Added some military surplus “Tie-Down” lettering to my M149A1-2. Their adhesive and stick very well. Still not sure if I like them or not.

Those lower prices seem reasonable for what your wanting. Canvas isn’t cheap anymore snd isn’t easy to work with because of the weight, plus you want windows too. Try 98G’s suggestion and give that place a call. That trailer looks great. Nice color.

You will probably have DOT issues with that trailer and the 4x4 on top unless a lot of modifications are done. Check your states requirements also. As already mentioned, it will sit high and have CG issues. The axle and springs should work for that amount of vehicle weight but with all the...

Finding the individual lens might be tough, but plenty of NOS complete lights are on the online auction site. Standard and LED. Depends on how much $$ you want to spend. Some are all plastic and some are aluminum housing with plastic lenses. Post your needs in the Parts Wanted section if you...

Is there a part number anywhere on that new style lever? I see the cage number in one pic. Replacement levers for these trailers are almost impossible to find. The correct ones anyway. As already mentioned, their just rusted. Once you get them freed up and working, keep them lubed well.

Make sure your batteries are charged and alternators are working.

Thanks for the info. It still doesn’t cover this particular trailer. It’s wider than a normal M101A1 and includes the dual wheels. Nothing I’ve found/seen so far mentions the dual wheels and 3 extra leaf springs layers.

Patched up the holes and secured the side panel to keep weather out. I missed the small one. Will put a screw in it tomorrow. Will probably install a solid sheet of aluminum at some point in the future in its place.

It’s built like an aluminum tank. I have it up on all 3 jacks right now and it doesn’t budge at all when standing on it and trying to make it move or even wiggle a bit. Zero flex. on fenders or boxes. Plenty of storage built in. Going to install NOS wire harness this weekend if weather...

Absolutely post away. This is the only trailer data plate that I’ve seen which says “Modified”. Hard to tell in pics but it came from factory that way. Hence the modified wording on the data plate. Way too nice aluminum work for unit level.

When I removed the inner rim, I had nice paint staring back at me. On the wheel studs and drum face that hadn’t been exposed to weather. Definitely an old and odd trailer.

No clue. Time and $$$ Old radar unit would be cool. I bet that will never be on the surplus sites. Wish I had pics of this particular trailer when it was complete. Would be pricey if you could even find the proper radar. With the labor for the lock ring rims, I’ll have $1k just for 4 new...

Funny you mentioned that. Was just trying to figure out a layout plan for a welder/generator/tanks/fuel, etc just yesterday.

I understand Very well TRADOC and bumper numbers. It’s this particular odd trailer that’s throwing me a curve. The rear aluminum bumper has small threaded holes so instead of painting the unit, etc, on the bumper, you can simply make a plate with same info and screw it on.

New tires installed tomorrow hopefully. Finding someone who will work on these is becoming extremely difficult

The trailer came from Ft. Sill I’m assuming it’s from the Air Defense Battalion/Brigade The X still is a mystery

That’s why I posted it. The markings don’t make sense to me. I’m not that familiar with the FireFinder units and Organization Make-up.
