    M101 Trailer Series: Brand New Brake Levers

    Couldn't tell if that was the tip of a zert or wishful thinking. Yes Their pricey but available!

    M101 Trailer Series: Brand New Brake Levers

    Any change in part number? Price? That picture seems to show a grease zert. Is there one? Probably just the angle of the picture. Thanks

    MEP002a questions

    SeaFoam is what I used successfully on mine to flood the IP and soak the internals. I continue to use it in the fuel and also add two-cycle oil to keep it happy Ray70’s method of bringing the IP back to life worked for me perfectly. His advice (and others!) helped me save my 002A.

    Unicor NF2D Light Tower/Genset

    I used these on both the NF-2D and also a warehouse cart. Fit great and zero issues. You should start your own thread for additional questions and to document the work on your unit.

    MEP-002A Exhaust Question plus Machine Resurrection

    Thanks for the tip! Will install when the weather cools down a bit. Electricians should be here later next week to install a generator hookup at the power pole.

    Unicor NF2D Light Tower/Genset

    If you replace the tire, replace the tube. Their inexpensive and your already in there. Recommend you use silicone grease on the beads. Makes removing the tires at a later date MUCH easier.

    Yes, exactly.

    MEP-002A Exhaust Question plus Machine Resurrection

    That’s exactly why the flag terminal is used. Nothing else would work properly and the cable would have rubbing and routing issues.

    MEP-002A Exhaust Question plus Machine Resurrection

    It does not. By all appearances it looks like all factory work and nothing is modified. I'll install it as recommended. It will rarely get used. Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t going to melt anything.

    MEP-002A Exhaust Question plus Machine Resurrection

    Funny how the shorter ground cable has a red ring terminal on it. The positive cable has just a plain flag terminal with no shrink sleeve.

    Appreciate that! I bought a NOS one off eBay

    MEP-002A Exhaust Question plus Machine Resurrection

    Exactly that. I do have the adapter that I bought NOS. It’s heavy and works well and is difficult to remove once you insert it. I used the adapter and my CUCV to start machine several times when I was waiting for my batteries to show up. Now it will be a backup

    MEP-002A Exhaust Question plus Machine Resurrection

    All ground straps are in place and in great shape. The original (old at least) has the ground cable going directly from the port to the starter in one continuous cable. I couldn’t tell from the TMs either.

    M101a1 parts?

    Sounds like it's headed to the scrap yard. Too bad, those are great trailers.

    MEP-002A Exhaust Question plus Machine Resurrection

    The original one on there now, the cables are almost identical length. The positive is a tad longer with a Flag terminal on it and the negative cable is about an 1" or so shorter with a ring terminal on it. NOS one is the same in all aspects, except the length of the negative cable. Double...

    This tire will work. Same tread and size I used, but different brand.

    MEP-002A Exhaust Question plus Machine Resurrection

    So a while ago I ordered a NOS slave plug with Cables. My intention was to replace whole unit as the original cables look horrible. They work fine, just look terrible. Doing a NSN search, I found and ordered the NOS part. When part arrived, the positive cable is the same length as the original...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Moved this trailer to a better spot to run the two generators I store inside it. It usually sits in heavy shade, but I let it sit out in the hot sun for two days to burn the creatures out. Trailer frame and cover flaps had spiders all in it. None inside cargo space at all. All good now
