Does the M871 lowbed trailer have both military and civilian electrical and brake hook ups like my new to me M127 does? James

Well next to last trailer to be picked up, one M448 left in Millington and I am done unless the price is just right on a otr flat bed comes along! The 818 didn't seem to know the M127 was behind it on the ninety mile trip home, until we got to the really steep grade to the cabin then we were...

I have only had experience with three M818s and all are hard to start! I see why they have the four batteries, but why are they soooo hard to start? Yesterday it took thirty min. of trying and a Deuce for battery backup to start mine. Or is it just the ones I have come in contact with? James

I am going to make my first pick-up with my 818 Monday, about a 180 mile round trip. I have been reading up on the fifth wheel and mine doesn't match up the drawings in the TM, any help is appreciated. James G.

Any one know why the landing gear on the M105 was changed from the single big wheel to the two small wheels. I just picked up a couple of old style 105s with the big wheel gear, the old style weighs a quarter of what the new style gear weighs! I could pull the big wheel gear up with one hand...

You can get two thirteen foot long M105s on a 16 foot long trailer with a little leverage! Picked up two today at Hooks, the GL folks were super helpful loading and reloading until we had it right! Last two Thursday. James G.

I have six more 105s to haul from Hooks 520 miles round trip, don't mind one at a time for the specialty/covered ones but if I pull the wheels off one and put a couple of parallel 8x8s for the hubs to sit on can I stack one 105 in the bed inside another 105 and cut my towing in half? All of...

Is the M100 trailer the correct one for the M37? James G.

Made it to Hooks right on time, traveled across the base to find my trailer and no trailer, they had given my trailer with the tool boxes still on it to someone else and no more trailers with boxes were available!!!! They are so strict on not moving a step without some one with you and then...

Picked up my M105 down in Little Rock this week, one down eight to go, a big box trailer in Little Rock, a 5 ton flat bed at Hooks, four M105s at Hooks and the two enclosed 105 at Hooks, I hope gas prices don't rise over the next three weeks! James G. PS: The M105 rides pretty level behind the...

I was only able to make a short visit to the MV show at Petit Jean State Park but there was a fair showing of small and large MVs from WWII to Vietnam and beyond. James G.

If you missed out on the trailers at Hooks today you really missed out!!!! I bought six, four look just out of rebuild with their Racks, bows and covers still bundled up in the beds($150) and for $300 and change I got a couple of the fully enclosed 105's one is fiberglass and the other one...

Does anyone have a photo of the PTO in place on an M818? James G.

It's sale 4600 in Hooks end of last month, five days from it being sent to Battle Creek it was approved, but it took GL eleven days to send it on, no revisions just slow! I have been reading how some are having a long wait on their EUC's I was getting resigned to a long wait as well! Now I...

I won a compressor at Hooks this week, it is one of the standard military shop type compressors, 15cfm at 175 psi but this one had the standard military engine replaced with what i hope is one of the small two cylinder diesel motors, the red fuel tank and bright steel motor body talked me...

I finally got me one of the military flat bed trailer down at hooks this week, and for under $400! I've been watching for a while and I just couldn't pay $11-1200 for one! Anyway I am planning on hauling it the 250 miles home with my Armada, the lunnette looks pretty high on the trailer, i...

Watched this M37 sitting in a pasture for five years, price started out at 3K, finally got it down to a grand and couldn't wait any longer! Got it just in time as well someone had tried to pull the radiator out of it, luckily the shroud hung up the radiator outlet and locked it up tight! it...

I have been bidding on 5 tons for a while will little luck, too high for me! I was at Memphis Equipment last week and their front yard is full of fully refurbished 5 ton cargo and tractors for a foreign sale! They all looked really good, new paint, tires, bow sets and covers, most had hard...

Not sure what the original purpose was for this trailer, maint. wood working or what but I couldn't pass it up, now I have to go and get it, outside Memphis. I know the sides at the top fold up and I think the lower part of the trailer sides fold down at least I hope they do, I was in a hurry...

I have one of the older model Lubrication trailers on the 2.5 ton trailers, or maybe a 1.5 ton trailer, no data tag. Anyway the trailer looks like it was either refurbished or never used prior to being DXed, hoses and fittings are still in the waxed paper. But it was stripped of all of it's...
