    new to site and new to me m1101 trailer ??'s

    Very few bases will allow weapons of any type, its something we just have to deal with! My last recovery from last week, I have to strip everything out of the truck & no one even looked inside the truck to see that it was empty. Of course, the tools were left @ home which made getting the...

    So my battery EXPLODED today

    I had that happen @ work on a single 12v battery starting a Wisconsin engine. Battery was low, so it was recharged & when the engine was started, the entire side of the battery blew out, spraying shrapnel & acid on the guy standing next to it, he was just shaken up & not hurt. The acid damaged...

    new to site and new to me m1101 trailer ??'s

    The guys here have posted most everything you need to know to tow your trailer home safely. If you use magnetic lights for the trip home, they will stick on the stubs that the rear landing legs attach to as they are steel. Open your trailer tailgate for visibility, check your axle hubs when you...

    Deuce Halogen Headlight Upgrade

    I just duplicated your order for my Deuce as trying to drive with the original headlamps is poor @ best. When I first drove her home in an a mostly dark situation, the left light pointed out too far & too high & the right light pointed out in the woods to the right. It's a wonder I could see...

    Tank filling

    My Deuce fuel tank does the same thing unless I take out the strainer & fill straight to the tank. If you run the auto diesel fuel nozzle slow with the strainer in, it will fill the tank, but when it get close to being full, it blows diesel foam all over the tank. OH well! ;-)

    Generator power up procedure

    That will probably work just fine, but is it up to code as far as the electric company & electrical inspectors? IT looks more of an electrical LOTO device than anything else. The bottom line is the electric company wants no back fed power from an electric generator to energize their lines when...

    Buying from GovPlanet walkthrough/review.

    Sounds like you did well on your recovery of the M-1101. If you are using the Harbor Fright lights, they will stick on the landing leg stubs on the rear of the trailer as the stubs are steel. Be sure to tie wrap them for safety & not loose them on a bump or something. Also you can lower the...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    In between the rain showers, I managed to get power hooked to the backup lights I got from Clinto & Clintogf back @ the Mt Dora show in central Florida. To boot, also got power hooked up to the 12 power ports that supply the cell phone charger & a dash camera set up. Tomorrow is the 150 year...
