    Just picked up two MEP 002a's with trailer

    Grounding it would be on the safe side & I left that out while typing in a hurry!

    Just picked up two MEP 002a's with trailer

    Run the units @ full speed only, do not idle them, you will burn out the VR @ an idle. Let them warm up with no load, then apply the load to suit your needs. Keep reading your TM & other threads here to get you up to speed! A few more pictures would be nice, too!

    2009 Schutt Industries M1101 Trailer

    One of my trailers had the same problem & it will probably destroy the seal inside the shock after a while of being used loaded. All the rest of the trailers came with grease heavily applied to the shaft to prevent rust!

    Crate pickup out of Eglin AFB in Pensacola

    I have not looked thru it yet as it is still strapped to the trailer & got home after darkthirty. It is supposed to be tent liners for MGPT's, but will find out this weekend after unloading it. A fellow member here wanted them, but didn't want the associated trip, I just low bid for grins & won...

    Crate pickup out of Eglin AFB in Pensacola

    The trip last week was delayed due to trailer axle bearing problems. I did get a notice of loss of auction results, but beat the deadline. This Thursday came complete with base pass, repaired bearings & everything needed for the trip. It drizzled & was overcast the entire trip over to Elgin AFB...

    Hidden deuce finds

    My Deuce only had a spare horn button & a few ounces of sunflower seed hulls in the cab when I got it! Nothing else to crow about.

    M1102 hubs super hot

    Well, we won't hear much from him for a while. I can't see why people get on a forum & want to show how smart they are; all the while, they are asking how to do something from the experts. Thanks Mods for the vacation from agrivation!

    Crate pickup out of Eglin AFB in Pensacola

    Well after filling out all the security paperwork & faxing it to base security, I got nowhere with the people there in charge. So I called GL & asked them what was the deal with recovery; they were nice enough to explain the process & told me to come visit & pickup my crate. So early Thursday...
