Installed LED bulbs in the last trailer today. M149A2 Drained water out for the winter, then drove it around empty for about an hour to exercise the tires. Now all my military trailers have LED bulbs.

Post your parts needs in the parts wanted forum. Better visibility

I watched a Hawker rep on YouTube explaining how to bring one back. I did use a lower amperage for a bit then the 10A setting for the longest time of charge. Battery was very warm but never really hot during the charge. You could keep your hand on it. I know it wasn't per the manual but it...

This is the A1 version, but shows everyone not familiar with this trailer what it looks like.

Yes. They are still available and still expensive. $100 each but they give me a break on price. Remember, these are the correct ones for the M101A2/3 trailers. Still lots of eBay ads, etc saying other style levers will fit when they will not.

Nice score. Next you’ll want an A2 with surge brakes and CUCV wheels. Then a M116A2 former generator trailer to use as a flatbed. Then……….?? Trailers are addictive

Good score. You can do a lot with that trailer. Not sure about shocks You will have to measure with the new axles installed to see what your options are and your intended use. Rancho and Bilstein for heavy work. Monroe or whatever if road use only.

Get the M101A2/3. Spend the $$$ for initial maintenance. Bearings Surge brake shock Brakes It will provide you with years of trouble free use. These are great trailers and built like tanks. M105 is a completely different beast.

Great trailer. Built like a tank. Don’t forget to check and repack bearings. The surplus M101 series were notorious for lack of maintenance.

M1008A1 Had what initially I thought was a dying starter. Acted and definitely sounded like it. Voltage showed good. Hawker battery’s. Fast forward a few weeks (I do not drive it daily anymore) and issue still getting worse. Spare starter ready to be installed. Went to start it to move inside...

Great idea

I did not know that. Thank you for the info!!

Since you’ve done at least 4, not a bad idea!!

Absolutely agree. Planning on it this fall.

Grabbed a set of these in March for $25 Still haven’t installed them yet They look to be a bit wider footprint so that will help. I also tow it around the ranch with my M1008A1 and my Yanmar YT359C tractor. Both do well but you do have to really pay attention when partially filled.

Update on my losing power issue. Drove it yesterday and she starts right up and no issues whatsoever until you need to put your foot into it a bit. Problem was worse. Not a lot but noticeable. Exhausting every possible failure point before IP removal. Is my fuel pump going out? I cracked the...

I will do this later today. I use seafoam but will try this Thanks!!

Possibly Will read up on that to make sure I’m not chasing my tail with it.

Fuel filter is new. Wix brand and the original setup. Noticeable power loss and the sound it makes when doing it almost sounds like Pre-detonation on a gas engine. I use Seafoam and two-cycle oil consistently. Pump looks original but I really haven’t a clue if it is or not. Truck has over...

Would you post a pic of the hitch setup? Others might need to see what you used to keep trailer level with SUV.
