Sounds great. I will look into it.

Wow, that's great , Neil. I like the way you emphasize that it "works."

Sounds like a good recovery. nopics Where in NC?

I bought 4 A1's back in April and 3 came with 2 kinds of rear legs. Finally took the more stable looking one and mounted it on my M101. It will latch in the vertical position for greater stability when the trailer is standing alone. The other two legs only latch in the stowed position and...

Finally got around to posting pics from Monday's July 4 parade. We had Bruce with his '43 Ford Jeep, my Deuce with M332 ammo trailer, the M37 making it's very first parade appearance (driven by my son Andrew, and Brandon lagging in the rear in his 5 ton. The real star of the show is Charles...

Chief, A bit far, especially up Black Mtn, but this is the only MV related Veteran's Day event I've heard of anywhere around here, so count me in. I'll trailer the M37 behind the dually. I'd have to leave next week if I drove the Deuce.

Bump

MDSA, Valdese, NC, Brian Thanx for doing this.

My sons and I disagree about which setup will look best in a parade. Since I don't have the canvas for the M37 ($$$), my sons think the M101 should match the M37 - no cargo cover. I see what they mean, but I am curious what you guys think.

Finally got the sides on the M37 finished. Sides rails were easy as I was given the metal posts. I had to fabricate the front metal using old troop seat metal off a Deuce. Not to spec, but it works. Put 3 coats of paint on the wood. The M101A1 is a 1953 model with the old whale tail...

Ty We use our M101A1 all the time with a modern vehicle (Ford Ranger) to haul gravel (2700 lbs), mulch, firewood, and lighter items as well. NEVER had any trouble - just use common sense. I know, common sense might be lacking, but then NO trailer is safe. Yes, an A2 has surge brakes -...

Great small-town American Parade in Glen Alpine, NC. The parade is Monday at 10am. We usually have a good turn out of MV's. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/upcoming-events/37095-glen-alpine-nc-parade.html http://www.steelsoldiers.com/upcoming-events/54014-glen-alpine-nc-parade-saturday.html...

Your spare will HAVE to be on a rim off another M101A1 or M37. The 5 lug pattern is unique. Might be hard to find. Ask your vendor while you're recovering the trailer if he has an extra rim.

Seth, I guess I should start a thread about this since it is just a month away, but I just remembered that we always participate in the Glen Alpine 4th of July Parade. There are not any other parades nearby that I know of. Usually another guy, Brandon, here in Morganton takes his 5 ton...

This Friday I have work obligations until 9pm. We'll meet up some time.

Just saw your post - sorry I missed it. Sounds like fun. Let me know next time you plan something like this. I'll try to drive up from Valdese.

I was told for USMC M37 rear shackles that the side rear shackles are the same as the front shackles; they are "L" shaped but hook up to be used for lifting so they stick out when hanging loose. I also added regular rear loop shackles for tow chains to attach to. Not a very good pic, but you...

Put a (very) temporary front pintle on the M37. When we first loaded the M37 and M101 onto the civy trailer to take to the Veteran’s Salute, I pulled them straight on, but I didn’t like all the weight on the tongue. So I backed her off. I didn’t like the idea of backing on with that...
