    LSSVs in the pipeline?

    Maybe, Maybe not. LSSVs will probably be auctioned off at some point. When is anyone’s guess. It could be years before they hit the market.

    The things you learn, when you're not paying attention....

    Every single human being has and will continue to make mistakes. That’s just our nature. Learning from them and try not to make the same Mistake again is the key. It’s the unforgiving mistakes that you lose your life over or worse, someone else’s life. That was my biggest fear flying...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Sorry for your loss. You are correct about the roll-bar. They came with them from the factory but examples are nonexistent around here. The little ford tractors are few and far between now. I never mow with it (it came with a 60” mower deck and also a backhoe attachment) and stay away from...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Moved M101A2 trailers around today. Used the little Ford 1210 Diesel. Kept them in the sun today in between the storms to burn out the spiders. Then parked them back in the shade. Keeping them under trees keeps the sun from destroying the tarps, but then you get the spiders and sometimes...

    Winch

    Plenty of info in past threads with tons of pics. Here and also in the CUCV modification thread. A little effort on your part in searching will yield the results you want. That mod has been done plenty of times with great success.

    MEP-002a possible Injector Pump Issues

    It might be a case of stuck rings and needs to be ran with a 80%+ load for several hours to come back around. A little seafoam in the engine oil right before an oil change works wonders too. Really cleans things up internally. Might help your generator, might not, but can’t hurt. (Don’t run...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    One of these days I’ll have a trailer like yours. I only own 3 M101A2’s. Yep…….someday.

    need starting electrical guidance please

    Are the battery cables and other starter wiring original? I discovered the hard way that while they look fine on the outside, the corrosion is rampant on the inside, under the sheathing, and providing extreme voltage resistance. Same for the fusable links. Don’t jump around to different...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Nicely done on keeping the rig going. I salute your spirit, dedication and ability. Was in that area two weeks ago and mentioned to my wife that I would love to just wander/explore that area in our M1008A1. Now if I could just get AntennaClimber to give me his amazing M101A2 Camper trailer……………

    M353 Trailer Chassis Landing Gear Wheel Help Needed

    X2 on the heat. !!!!! Unstuck lots of farm equipment and such with heat and the 50/50 mix as mentioned above. Liquid Wrench works fantastic also.

    Another Starter!!???

    Not all starters are created equal. You usually get what you pay for quality wise. But even with a good name brand that cost a lot, that doesn’t mean it won’t go up in smoke that quickly either. But the chances are much more remote than the really cheap ones out there.

    1969 MEP 10K Generator

    Would be nice if they engraved the Data Plates back then.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    I like that you didn’t repaint the floor bracket. Still has what looks like boot marks on it!!!

    MEP-831A - Huge amount of exhaust smoke

    I have seen these generators laying on their side, upside down and everything in between at the auction yards. Yes I know you mentioned the fluids were drained but I have bought a lot of things that said that, only to discover it wasn’t true In the video it did look like oil smoke but am...

    Trailer ID?...old and rough with tail gate on each end

    That looks to me like an old agricultural trailer. You can tell the fenders were once much more of a flowing design than any military trailer would ever be. No tie down hooks or even remnants of them. Clearly it can handle a 500-1000lb log without any issues. Worth saving in my opinion...
