    Another, but unique ID request

    I would buy it just on its uniqueness alone! Never seen one of those before. Talk about handy!

    Another, but unique ID request

    Whomever married the box and trailer together did a good job from the topside at least. That definitely looks like CUCV SECM body as mentioned but also looks really top heavy for the trailer Pics of the inside and underside would be great.

    M1102 hand brakes frozen

    I didn't want to remove anything (could be another can of worms) so I always have done the heat treatment. Not talking about glowing orange, but enough to make things loosen up a bit. Always worked for me.

    M1102 hand brakes frozen

    LOTS of penetrant and LOTS of heat. These are notorious for rusting up in any position. As mentioned, the end cap adjusters will not move under tension. Those also love to seize up. Heat is the way I have unstuck several that were frozen when I picked them up from auction. Take your time and...

    M1008 radiator replacement

    Do not waste your money on a 2 row. Even without towing. I would take it to another repair shop and see what they say. If not, be prepared to spend some cash. They still make the copper/brass radiator, but a lot of guys have had luck with other models. Search or Looking back on old threads...

    MEP-803A —— Did I Score? I think so……

    Trailer Found A Steel Soldiers member reached out with a trailer offer. Great price! It’s a LTT/TQG 1-1/2 ton (PU-798A) made for the 802A/803A. Aluminum trailer so no rust It’s a bit of a drive to get it but my wife and I are going to make a road trip out of it and enjoy seeing some new...

    MEP-803A - New to me, excited to get it going.

    Heat. I've seen guys use a torch and burn it out. No idea after that.

    MEP-803A —— Did I Score? I think so……

    Appreciate the compliment. I love my MEP-002A. It’s not going anywhere. Only complaint is that it’s really loud. I would love to have a 003A, but now I don’t have a need for one. The 803A prices around here were well above what I wanted to pay, then this one popped up and I was fortunate...

    That I can totally understand with just one use. Like trying to herd cats…….pointless.

    The rope is tucked away and will never be used. I tried it with the rope once........ Never again. Had to be some sort of engineers joke on the troops.

    MEP-803A —— Did I Score? I think so……

    Painted on the beginning Hobbs time when I purchased it I always do this on equipment so I don’t have to look it up or guess. The battery covers came in so those were Installed today. I kept the one big flap cover. Didn’t want to toss it and it’s not in the way of anything. I washed them...

    MEP-803A —— Did I Score? I think so……

    Trying to find a trailer now. A trailer setup might be a better fit for the ranch. Will be easier to wire something so I can plug into my panel. Plan is to get one of your covers so I don't have to worry about spiders and wasps..... and weather. I only use the Solargizer/PulseTech chargers. The...

    Mag Pickup repairs on my MEP804 a

    Post your needs in the Parts Wanted forum. I'm sure you already looked in the TMs for the NSN and civilian part number.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Nice score!!!! The Jeep crowd would go crazy over those.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    The trailer has been extremely useful. The load rating is well over 2000lbs. It’s a bit overkill for what I do with it. Perfect fit for the little ford tractor

    Do the guys who use these generators for standby power leave them out in the weather 24/7 or build an enclosure for them? I know their built for staying outside but that definitely takes a toll on them over time. I was thinking of doing a little Tuff-Shed

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    USAF Flight Line Oxygen Cylinder Trailer I installed the wood almost two years ago. Yesterday morning I soaked the wood with new ATF oil and then let it sit in sun all day. It really soaked it up! Now the wood will not rot away. It will be at least a year or more before it needs another coat...

    MEP-803A —— Did I Score? I think so……

    Ran generator for almost an hour seeing if any leaks from radiator cap and fuel filters. Wanted it nice and hot. All good. Topped off fuel tank and placed generator back inside my cargo trailer to keep out of the weather for now. The battery terminal covers are the only thing I'm waiting on...
