    M101A2 violent braking!

    My thoughts were exactly along with NoNotAgain... the shock absorber had gone soft. Then Unforgiven hit the nail on the head. The master cylinder has been recently rebuilt. So I thought I would try an experiment. :shock: I took a different M101A2 trailer (one that brakes as it should)...

    M101A2 violent braking!

    My brother recently picked up an M101A2E1 from Fort Campbell. I hooked it up to pull it a few miles down a normal city street. The trailer was loaded with a few hundred pounds of tree limbs. As I began to apply normal brake pressure on the towing vehicle, the trailer started to shake...

    Friction Welding, Its a pretty neat idea. I have heard of pistons and skirts being put together like this. I have never seen the process though Dave

    M35A2 Transport from Redstone

    Richard, What does your timing look like? If you load turns out to be one Deuce, maybe we could split transportation costs. I have a truck at Redstone. This is my first EUC and the 60 day mark is at the end of May. PM me if we are anywhere close on timing and we can talk about details. Dave

    M101a2 Clarksville TN

    I have been down twice, and Jason loaded us both times using the big aced CAT fork lift. I also witnessed him chain an A3 by the bumper and drag it up the load ramp onto a low boy (He wasn't very happy about it though!) Long story short, they usually help with trailers. But expect you to come...

    New euc gl customer service???

    Just received the same email about the same sale. I submitted the EUC early on the day after the auction closed. Maybe now we will have to complain about how long it takes GL to actually make sure we filled the EUC out correctly!:-D

    Run a Deuce from Redstone to Indianapolis?

    Thanks guys, PMs sent to both with more info! Cleb, I have reason to believe that the brakes are bad. I think this was one of the trucks that I previewed in Frankfort KY. My notes from that trip indicate that the brake pedal went straight to floor. If you confirm that, it may be in my best...

    Run a Deuce from Redstone to Indianapolis?

    Guys! I am the proud new owner (pending acceptable EUC, of course!) of an M35A2 W/O W!!! I am a first time duece purchaser, and am wondering what transportation from Redstone to Indianapolis would cost me? I wouldn't even try to guess on what the timing would be, but could anyone give me an...
