That is exactly how the rear leg operates on my M101A2. I just ensure that the bottom leg is fully collapsed before locking it up, that way if it does come unhooked, it'll swing freely without getting caught on anything. I have a removable bunk for camping, that extra leg allows me to unhook...

Here's a thread that I started that really makes it easy. Hope it helps. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/trailers/51347-lunette-flipping.html

I'm not familiar with the CUCV system directly, but on my DD F250 diesel, when I have that clunk with nothing else, I can expect to have two or more Glow Plugs bad. I would test all of the glow plugs and replace as necessary. Others may suggest the card itself and it would be worth testing it...

Welcome to SS. I also was going to bid on the 1031's, but they went too high for me by the time I remembered to go bid. I don't want an A3, so I avoided those. The trucks were fairly nice looking, but like Sigo stated, it would have been an interesting recovery back North. As for the local...

A pre-99 ford Rim will work too, but it is not hub centric; ie it has a larger center hole. I had regular all seasons on my A2 w/ A3 axle, so I just put another all season on a spare rim. It's nice to have the same tires on the trailer as the tow vehicle, always have a spare (or two)...

I dumped the snow out of mine over the side of driveway a week back (it was even with the top of the bed). The bed went almost vertical due to the drop off on that side of the driveway. I had a little that I needed to pull out with the shovel, but most came out on its own. There are a few...

I'll take another look, but don't remember seeing any heater parts when I changed the filter on my 7.3. It may be up there further than I investigated. If it is there, then I stand corrected. I know that the manual refers to it and there is a fuse for it, but I just haven't seen it & it isn't...

I don't know about a spin on heater, or a heater in the filter assembly. But I'm not that familiar with the CUCV, yet... I have not heard of them on civilian trucks either as a stock option, I do know they are available as an add-on though; including tank heaters. My DD is a F250 Diesel...

With the chains on the outside only and the neighbor trying to go up a hill that was yet to be properly plowed. He got the chained tire off of the packed portion of the road, so the non-chained tire was bearing on the slick pack (was 4-5" thick + ice). He lost traction, starting spinning, then...

While I don't have a deuce, I remember putting chains on the one in the Fire Department. With that tank of water and the chains, it was nearly unstoppable, terrain wise. As for civilian vehicles; I have a full set of chains for my every day driver and a set for my plow truck. The plow truck...

It really depends on the level of your PDF reader / writer. At the office, I have Adobe Pro, which allows me to extract pages from the master PDF, as well as edit them as necessary. Of course, I utilize this tool while on my lunch break or after office hours. If I want a few pages, or just...

For rare clutch parts on my Internationals, I've always had good luck with Fort Wayne Clutch. FORT WAYNE CLUTCH and DRIVELINE They are worth giving a call, they may have what you need in stock & I can't complain about their shipping speed. I had my entire kit in 4 days to AK for a 1/3 of the...

Those trailers look like the one I have in my yard. It's an A3 axle under an A2 body. Best to go with fender extensions (there's a thread about that) or an A3 body. Forget about modifying the axle; that drop axle has a gusset plate that comes almost to the spring pack.

You'll want the hi-lift. The pictures are for an adjustable jack; it appears your lunette is already flipped (so that's good!), but I highly doubt it'll go low enough to catch your pintle and still be able to be rotated into storage position. I tow mine with a F250 / 350 & the 10" plate. A...

That would work if you can get a small plate. I didn't go that route as I was all for ground clearance. Plus if I use the trailer as a dumper, the plate won't get caught on the ground and get all bent up. Sounds like you are on the right track. Enjoy!

I got the small plate (like on motorcycles) and drilled it to accept rivets. Then I placed it on the rear cross member, off center and drilled through it as well. An aluminum rivet on each corner keeps it in place and prevents someone from getting it off easily. No illumination on it yet...

My A2 uses a 13/16 wrench on the lugs (9/16" threading). I personally use an additional 2' of chain for extra length, but you can easily get away with about 18" per side. The nice thing about having extra chain is that you can twist it to get shorter lengths. Check the hubs after pulling it...

I had a 3/8" line, 6" long, made with the proper fittings for under $10 at a local hydraulic shop. Either or. If properly set, the hand brakes are more than sufficient to hold the wheels in place when you back up. Ensure that the pins are pulled first!

I used 7/16" diameter pins, 5" long (it's what TSC had). They are the same diameter as the bolts, but are a very tight fit (I bang them into place). You could utilize 3/8" diameter's if you can find the right length (IIRC 4-1/2"), or drill the holes open a little more. If you wish to make...

I recommend the Laclede's. I have a set for my F250 and after the ice storm that we had last week, I was extremely happy to have enough for all 4 tires. I have standard ladders for all 4, and an extra set for the rear's that are v's; but I only carry the ladders in the truck. I have standard...
