Greetings from a former Dubliner, born in town (Hatch Street) raised in Castleknock, educated at Belvedere. Moved to the US as a teenager. Still have a house in Castleknock, where I intend to be in May. Mark, firmly planning to attend that show with you at the Curragh, and finally make good...

I don't see where this was actually clearly addressed. The M103 is the nomenclature for that type chassis. With a specific type cargo bed on it, it becomes an M105, (or less commonly, with a different bed, an M104). It is not unusual to have the data plate say M103 on an M105 trailer. Same...

Now to muddy the waters - for me, I can edit most posts, but there are a few here and there that the "edit" button just isn't there at all. Using Firefox on the home PC (I can't do this stuff on a phone!). One I did an edit, but it went in as a new post instead. I'll see if I can find that...

As Gimpy said, those are 10.00R22.5's. Cheers

Welcome aboard, and Semper Fi brother! Cheers

V300/600 is entirely possible, there were several turret options for those, including some big ones! Yes, definitely Cad-Gage. I wasn't clear above, the 10237 in the part number indicates Cadillac Gage, so even if their logo hadn't been on the tag, you could still identify it as theirs. Cheers

The mood struck me today, so I uncovered the markings on my HSTRU trailer. It was marked- 1CAV 615ASB HSC832T JDTZ0 D0015. So it belonged to the HSC (headquarters supply company), 615th Aviation Support Battalion, of the 1st Cav on Ft Hood. Cheers

And we by you! Cheers

That is definitely not a V100 part. Everything in the V100 is manual (ie hand cranked). As NDT said, it is from an armoured vehicle, probably a tank. Cadillac Gage make turret control systems for tanks, etc., amongst other neat stuff. I did a quick search on the part #, didn't get anything...

That Novus 2 is great stuff. I initially started using it to clean up the lenses on light bars some 25 years ago, then tried it on MV tail lights, works like a charm. Cheers

Yan, in addition to what I sent in PM, here is a wiring diagram that might help. It is for the 105A3 trailer which has side lights, but they are on the same circuit as the tail-lights, so just disregard that part on your 101. The wire numbers should be the same on all US trailers. Note- 37 is...

Happy Birthday John! Cheers

Those Federal lights come up for sale pretty regularly, and sometimes for pretty good prices (read - cheap!). There is (was?) an ad in the classifieds for a single Mars light recently. Cheers

My HSTRU (Hydraulic Systems Test and Repair Unit). Built in 1996, it is on an M116A3 chassis. Taped inside were shipping documents from Iraq to Ft Hood. Nice to have a bit of its history. :) Cheers

Just measured a Federal Signal light ( that happened to be sitting by my desk, I didn't even have to get up!). Model is MS-51317-03. 28v. It came out of a complete military convoy light kit. At the base of the housing, it is 7.5" across. The width at the lock ring for the lens is 8.25"...

From personal experience as talking cargo in the Marines - cram 'em in til its full. Same went for our CH-53Ds when I later went to the Air Wing - if I recall correctly, we had seat belts for 32 troops, but I know on at least one trip, I did a manifest for 65 fully equipped infantrymen. All...

As Warthog said above. And specifically for Ft Hood, a definite NO! on a firearm, CHL or not. They can and will sniff your car with dogs and you are subject to search, which Ft Hood is not bashful about doing randomly. Cheers

In all the pictures I have found (mostly old GL auctions) for A3 HSTRU's, all were made by Nomura and the data plates were done with an electric pencil. And judging by the handwriting, by the same person. Cheers

Here ya go. And check out what I found taped to the inside. :) Confirms its an Army trailer, not Marine. Cheers
