    Unicor NF2D Light Tower/Genset

    Want another one and of course the surplus supply has dried up. Portland is too far as shipping would be killer. It’s been very handy to hook up and tow around for ranch for power. Beats lifting up my other generator into the pickup/trailer bed. Having the light available when I need it has...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Buyer can arrange shipping. Still cheaper than a complete trailer for just the axle.

    Can anyone identify what model trailer these bows fit

    Look like they might be from an older generator trailer.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    I saw a stack of NOS ones on eBay. Good price too. Axle, brakes, drums and all.

    Unicor NF2D Light Tower/Genset

    Couldn’t edit old post Factory Kubota radiator cap. This is a perfect fit and is designed for the radiator on this unit This supersedes the old post on another radiator cap that, while worked ok, was not a factory part.

    Anyone paint their aluminum radiator?

    Cost is exactly right. Plus bare aluminum will eventually corrode depending on its environment. They did a very good job painting mine. Nothing clogged or blobbed up anywhere. Not even a run in the paint. Most of the scuff marks were from me.

    Anyone paint their aluminum radiator?

    They still make the copper/brass one. OEM design and quality Exact fit. Factory painted black. $435 if I remember correctly. (from the local radiator shop). Part number has been posted in several threads. I started a thread when I bought my copper/brass radiator. You get what you pay for.

    101A2 Adventure Trailer

    Just curious on how much weight this is adding What’s your estimate?

    Electric brakes on 101a2 and 1101

    Not sure how yards equates to weight. Definitely depends on material. 1-3/4” gravel is what I buy. The scale at the yard is what I was going off of. As the front end loader was dumping the gravel, I was watching the springs and axle bumpers. When it was close to where I wanted it, I would...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Knew about the trains and they were mentioned a few post earlier. Someday normal cars and trucks will do that to the same degree. Maybe

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Just under $80 for a case of 12 aerosol cans shipping included. You can also mix the colors. Last case I bought 11 green and 1 tan.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    RAPCOPARTS.COM I have had very good luck with them and their paints. Aerosol cans are what I always get. Fast shipping and always well packaged.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Finally replaced the lost top locking pin on my M101A2 front gate. A SS member sent me a replacement and I used the pin from that. Quick work with a welder and then a grinding wheel insured it will never fall/pop out again. The original crimp just isn’t large enough on some pins. Easy to...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    The big mining trucks have been doing it for years. Very large Diesel engine just making electrical power. 4 giant electric motors at the wheels making it move. Impressive torque is an understatement

    Electric brakes on 101a2 and 1101

    There are some really nice camper/adventure trailer builds with both electric and surge brake setups. Never ceases to amaze me the great ideas some guys come up with and then build/incorporate it.

    Electric brakes on 101a2 and 1101

    Your trailer so whatever works for you. Your definitely set on installing them and I do understand your points. Personal preference. They are great trailers regardless. You will definitely be happy with it. I like mine stock and like the surge brakes a lot. For me, keeping surge brakes...

    Electric brakes on 101a2 and 1101

    Why not just fix the surge brakes? Extremely easy to do and when completed, will last for life of trailer with periodic easy maintenance. Surge brakes are wonderful when properly maintained. Croft Trailer has all the factory parts for the system and excellent customer service. Mine handled...

    I’m here to offer any help I can. Again...I’m on your side. Clearly I misread your original post. My mistake. Not my first and definitely not my last. All clear downrange.
