Searching through a nonpublic surplus website for municipalities, I see that Pennsylvania has over 400 Mep-803s that should be hitting public auctions sometime soon. It will probably take a few months to get through the system after "us municipalities get their pick" but there will be plenty for...

Prices have gone way up on those shocks. I think I paid less than $40 back in 2011. But they work great, the brakes work so smooth that you forget the trailer is attached.

If the seller is the original purchaser of the trailer from the government you should be asking him if he had to fill out an EUC. Some trailers sold with EUCs and many did not. I would think you could pull it across the boarder if you had it pre-registered/tagged with Canadian plates and it had...

That smell must be burnt sugarcane they made the Bio from. And without sounding dumb, What's a Peeps?

Rick, How much snow did you get down there? We broke some records up here in Cooperstown with 31"+. some of the small towns in the hills reported 40"+ but I was to busy plowing to go measure their back yards.

Why bother making your own. Visit John's Website, for less than $100. he can set you up with what your looking for.

I stand corrected about the M1008 trailer plug voltage, maybe it was the HMMWVs I was thinking of. And the photo I showed is for a military trailer to a civy truck not the other way around.

Rust pitting will do it every time, good catch.

The CUCV trucks, 1008 and above I believe have 24V at the trailer plugs and the M1009s have 12 volt wiring. I would just go on epay and purchase a Military to civilian trailer adapter plug, they sell several types. This way is a simple plug & Play and saves a lot of unnecessary rewiring that...

Thanks for the advise. I tried the led light conversion back in 2011 before they were popular. Maybe Napa wasn't offering the electronic flashers back then.

Looks real good for its age. The steel back then was better quality than today "higher carbon content" probably recycled from old battleships.

I hope the flasher works out for you. I couldn't get my turn signals to work at all when I installed my led bulbs. Didn't change the flasher because our local Napa says it wont work for my application.

Volt meter is your friend. The M1009 was built with a 24Volt starting system and 24volt glow plug system. If PO rewired, you are basically on your own to determine what was altered or deleted.

I have had dealings with Samantha several times when I pickup surplus for the county I work for. I have found her to be the type that will not go out of her way to help nor make any effort to "think outside of the box". As for complaining to GP about her offering rolling stock to a GL buyer, it...

Whish you could head up to Ft Drum to service what they have, I would love you to repost for us northerners.

Take the throttle peddle and arm off and bend it in a vise. I added floor covering and then a thick rubber mat and I have the same issue. I decided as I get older I don't have to go as fast anymore so I left mine alone.

Thanks doghead, I missed the faint glow part.

Don't worry, after a few weeks they will "forget" all about it.

I agree with doghead, get an A2 with the surge brakes. With the amount of load they can handle you will appreciate it. They stop so smooth that you may at times forget you have it behind you. And I'll bet you can get one for the same price if not lower than an A1. I got mine at FT Drum in 2012...
