    M149A1 Water Buffalo with A2 Tank.

    I power washed it today. Looks a lot better but forgot to take pictures. Will do that tomorrow. Great thing is with the tongue modification that was done, it sits level when hooked up to my M1008A1. Safety chains reach is perfect. She’s gonna take a bit of prep before paint.

    M149A1 Water Buffalo with A2 Tank.

    Recovered the water buffalo yesterday. The chassis plate shows it started life as an M149, then later updated to the A1 version. Still researching the differences. At some point, the A2 stainless steel tank was installed and that tag says 1987. Unknown if it’s a manufactured date or installed...

    You need to be more specific in your location. Just listing Europe does not meet the site rules.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Won a 1987 M149A2 at auction. 400 gallon stainless steel tank. Big plus is it's less than 40 miles from me. I pick it up next week. Lots to do and first thing is a good power washing. Basic maintenance and new tires. Then 383 Green repaint for sure. Looks like pintle section has been...

    M-105a2 trailer cover, NOS

    Sounds like Friday late afternoon workmanship. Yes it happens. The manufacturer will not do anything about it now since it’s been surplussed.

    My M1009

    The mat looks great but will trap moisture and eventually rust. Hopefully you applied a rust preventative before install.

    M1008 Heater/Blower Motor Non-Responsive

    ACDelco still makes the blower, blower switch, plug and resistor. Rockauto.com or Amazon will have the best prices.

    M1102 Trailer Value?

    They will tow it fine but it looks weird together. Years ago things were a lot cheaper and plenty of trailers. That is no longer the case on both counts

    M1102 Trailer Value?

    Stick with the M101A2. It was designed for the CUCV and matches it perfectly. The M1101/2 looks weird behind a CUCV since it was designed for a completely different vehicle. Two different generations that don’t look good together.

    M101A2 Trailer Questions

    Both mine have a grease zert installed middle of leg. Came from Military that way. Put in too much grease and it will squirt out when adjusting leg.
