    Who won any of the MK18A1 self loading trailers out of Georgia?

    Posting to gather as many as possible for simplified recovery. Wreckerman has been a great resource for this type of recovery and can make it much more efficient if more than one makes use of his services. These are not a simple recovery. Pete

    finished mounting my new 395s on combat rims

    I have those same tires on my A3. I too found the truck a little bouncy at first-but now they seem smooth. Maybe they "seat" in or something. I really like these tires. Your truck looks great with those big shoes. Pete

    M931/32 2 inch receiver hitch

    I have done a hitch to my A3. Used a 4" square tube cross member with end plates that allow tube to bolt to side plates. Makes assembly easier. After mounting, I discover that my cross bar is to low and would catch on things when off road. Have had two new 3/8" thick shorter side mounts made up...

    m35a3 recovery question

    The guys who picked up my A3 where on a short trip. The A3 weighs about 13,500 pounds with a lot of the weight right on the front axel. I was surprised they actually made it. Be careful here-bigger may be better. Check the weight of your trailer against the total weight -that number should be at...

    m35a3 recovery question

    This trailer was GVW rated at 11,000 pounds, was old but had good tires. Looked to be 16 to 18 footer. They made it home-about 20 miles away with no issues. Pete

    M36A3 Solargized for MN climate

    Decided to add Solargizers to my A3. Have them on my 5-ton but found they are mostly covered with snow as they are mounted on top of cowl. They also trap water up there which can cause rust. Given the 5-ton panels are laying face up and the winter sun angle up here is so shallow, I decided to...

    M931/32 2 inch receiver hitch

    I have just got my homemade hitch out of welding today. She is going on my M36A3 and will bolt to the rear frame rails-no new holes to drill. The cross bar is a 4" x 1/4 sq tube. Bought the recvr tube from E trailer-its a 3" so I can use big stuff. I will be bolting it up this weekend. Plan on...
