That's probably not bad advice. That would most likely be a lot easier than moving the lunette back and forth by hand like I did. One note: Moving the lunette got much easier after several cycles and I did lubricate prior.

Did you check the parking brake and make sure it wasn't dragging?

Ditto

I just bled the brakes on my M116A2 trailer, which is identical with the M101A2 surge brakes. I know the TM says to pump the lever to bleed the brakes. I found that holding the spring up from the lever and moving the lunette in and out worked much better. I had to replace brake lines, so mine...

Make sure you only let the starter spin for a few seconds. An unloaded starter motor can develop some very high RPMs and throw the windings out due to centrifugal force. Ask me how I know this - - - -!!!

I'm waiting on the EUC to clear. I'll be pulling the trailer with a Ford pickup. If I use my Deuce, it is a 1,000 mile round trip. I recovered my M105A2 with the same truck last year and had zero problems, but the M105A2 was a 1968 did not have the dual air lines. I thought the M149A2 brakes...

That appears to be excellet work! Like you said, it appears original.

That's what I thought as that is the way M105A2 brakes work with double air lines.

Very sorry to hear about the crack in the engine block. As I see it, you have three alternatives. 1. Replace the engine in your truck 2. Buy another truck and sell the old truck as a truck with bad engine 2. Buy another truck and part the first truck out I don't know the overall condition...

I need to move an M149A2 water buffalo about 500 miles with no air line hookups. I have checked TM 9-2330-267-14&P and searched Resources and haven't found an answer to my question. If I bleed the air from the trailer tank, will the brakes be released? This trailer was manufactured in 2000, so...

Powering a house with an 80KW or worse yet a 150KW diesel genset would result in major wetstacking issues!

You bought a great truck! I know you will enjoy it. Welcome to Steel Soldiers.

Did you replace the o-ring, or re-use the old o-ring? If you didn't replace the o-ring, you need to replace it. Once an o-ring is deformed when making a seal, it needs to be replaced as it almost always leaks.

I have an M116A2 trailer, which is the same as the M101A2, but designed to carry a generator and it is equipped with the same surge brakes. When I pull it empty or loaded, the brakes work perfectly. Perhaps you have some oil or grease in your brake drums as this can cause grabbing. Another...

Blairsville, Georgia presented a 'Cruise In On The Square' with the Blairsville Cruisers, a local car club. MV owners were invited to participate in a 'Salute to Men and Women in Uniform'. I took my M35A2, pulling an M105A2 trailer. Two other Deuces were present as well, one owned my Jimma of...

That looks like an extremely good restoration project. You should be proud of your work. Keep the pictures coming as you progress with the M37.

Welcome to Steel Soldiers! You will really enjoy an M35A2 when you finally find what you are looking for.

I plan on bringing my M35A2, pulling my M105A2 trailer. I'll arrive early in the morning and find a place to leave it on display. Since my rig will take up some room, I want to find a good place to park. I live in Hiawassee, so I'm only about 30 minutes away. I have a question about the...

I considered a MIG from Northern Tool, but bought a Hobart MIG welder from them instead, about two years ago. After heavy use, it has performed flawlessly. A friend of mine bought a really cheap Chinese 'buzz box' welder a few months ago, but I cannot remember from where. It quit working...

Due to the weather you have in Alaska, I would recommend a Deuce with an ether starting system. In my experience the ether systems work better than the manifold heaters, but others might have other opinions.
