It takes what it takes to turn these. Having a number attached to it is worthless 95% of the time for 95% of the owners. Most of us know these won't fit in a tight Taco Bell (or whatever) parking lot and to stay out.

Very good idea. Do you ever have the pin slip out a bit? Looks like its barely through the other side.

Too big a hole is required for those. They also just beg to be filled with dirt, etc. The ones I'm using are flat enough not to cause problems and will not collect dirt.

Northern Tool carries that style. I was referring to the ones with a NSN.

I haven't seen any of those tie downs by themselves. Always attached to a M1101/2

Thought about it, but requires too big a hole to cut. The ones I'm using are rated to 11k. More than strong enough for what I need.

Both. The floor ones (4) will go in the corners. The sides will get 4 each and two on the front. Nothing on tailgate since I use that as a portable workbench a lot.

Installed new gates in the back AND front on the tan M101A2. Just made a very versatile trailer even more so. Will be installing new cargo D-ring tie downs soon.

Finally installed NOS gates on back and front. The front gate will be very nice and handy!! Next project, besides installing the new free-back brake assembly's, is to paint the trailer CARC green. Its time.

Yes, they turn like an oil tanker for sure. Owning a 5 ton requires that you plan ahead before turning. You can adjust your steering stops but turn too tight and you risk tearing your Axle boots. So I've read.

AN fittings are the way to go IMO. I use Aeroquip fittings and hoses since I can get them cheap. Benefits of being in aviation. More expensive of course, but will last the life of the truck. My M1008A1 came with new hoses already installed, but when they need replaced, it's AN fittings for sure.

Any good starter/alternator rebuild shop deals with 24v stuff all the time. They will look at you normally and say ok. I found a NOS issue starter online. Its my spare. Get the best parts you can afford. It does make a difference.

Search for oil cooler line part number. Its been covered and posted many times. It was just discussed a few days ago.

Looks like a nice one. Tackling all the issues correctly now will be worth it in the long run. Super frustrating at times.....I know. These are a blast to drive! The Mother-in-law sounds like the Father-in-law on the Christmas Vacation movie.........."one of the light bulbs isn't...

Wrong thread. Post in the classifieds.

Finally sold my M989A1 HEMAT trailer today. Delivered it for the guy who bought it locally. Man that is a heavy trailer. Tows great, stops great, starting out you definitely know it's there. I will not miss it.

Course correction initiated

I would recommend a new or locally rebuilt (correctly) starter. That way you know what you have is correct. Yours has issues already mentioned. The starter bracket is a must so you do not break a starter bolt(s) or worse, break off a chunk of engine block as others have done. It's heavy and...
