    Break away on Surge Brake

    I'm assuming you mean the M101A2 since the M101A1 does not have surge brakes (unless someone added them). The lever will move around a bit and isn't totally firm, unless its been pulled forward and locked.

    My M149 Water Buffalo. What do you do with yours?

    A pressure washer will work fine I run a hose from the rear faucet to the pressure washer. I also have it so I can also use the bottom drain as a feed if needed (It's not a commercial HD High flow pressure washer, just a standard 3.5 GPM home use one) It works great. I also keep mine filled in...

    Complete newbie question about trailers for hauling vehicles and equipment

    There are numinous civilian trailers that will fit your needs with much less headache and expense. Texas Pride trailers will build you exactly what you want/need and they are great trailers. I have land just North of Marble Falls, TX and good trailer brakes are a lifesaver. Especially in the...

    Mep 804b motor running bad and frequency swinging.

    I don't own one, but I wouldn't start it again until some of the experts here weigh in. Watched the video and sounds like something inside broke or is going to very soon. Good Luck

    Mep 002/003 glow plug part number search

    Still had the government sticker on the factory packaging with the NSN. Yes, their the correct ones. eBay is a crap shoot on finding things. When I’m looking and needing something, nothing to be found or priced like it’s gold. When not in need, I see several sellers, all at good prices.

    M1009 towing M101A2 trailer

    The M101A2 uses the standard CUCV truck rim and tire from the factory. LT235/85R16 tire. It's a little taller than what your wanting to use. M101A3 will accept the CUCV truck rim without problems and the shorter tire your wanting to use will work just fine. Don't forget a spare for the trailer...

    Mep 002/003 glow plug part number search

    I found NOS champions on eBay without any problems. Several sellers had them. Bought 6 and all were factory sealed. The ones on my MEP-002A are working just fine but I wanted spares.

    How many fuel cans fit in the bed of an M416 Trailer?

    That would be about 910lbs of fuel (150 gallons) plus the weight of the containers themselves, if those were filled. I've kinda been stockpiling fuel lately myself. Looks like you scored on the fuel containers.

    Terminal Screws for Kraus & Naimer Switches - MEP-803A

    As already mentioned, those look discolored with age but not corroded. Some elbow grease and Scotch-Brite will make those look new.

    Ever seen a 6.2 balancer break?

    Yes It’s catastrophic for the engine. If you’re going to still run the original, it’s not a matter of “if”, but “when” it will fail. Might be a few more years before failure or the very next time you drive it. But it will fail at some point. Not necessarily coming apart like a grenade, but the...

    M101a1 trailer rebuild

    I do not know the official recommended tire pressure. It will be in the TM operators manual, but I run 35 in each tire. I personally would not go over 50 psi with those. There should be stamping somewhere on the rim that shows the maximum pressure for that rim.

    7MC-2A & MC-2A (USAF) Towable Diesel Air Compressors

    MC-2A Slight oil leak behind Alternator. Ordered parts and will install next week. I also ordered the governor cover gaskets. Tore one when I installed the other new parts so will replace them both.

    M101a1 trailer rebuild

    Looks like it will work just fine. I've seen them a lot worse. Recommend you use silicone grease on the bead. It makes breaking the tire down again MUCH easier.
