I can find them all day long at retail prices. No thanks, don't need one that bad. I meant GP/GSA surplus sales. Pefer my rolling stock straight from Govt.

Yea That's usually the very first thing to do. Hopefully nothing is too bad and the spindles, etc. are in good shape. My first one, the drums were rusted to the brake shoes. Once off, was able to turn drums and save them. Second trailer was just light rust and also had them turned...

Why use Dorman when ACDELCO still makes an exact replacement harmonic balancer? Less than $100 on Amazon when I bought mine. Very easy remove/replace job and did not remove fan shroud or fan. I did place a piece of heavy cardboard to protect radiator from any dings. Used standard pulley kit...

You have some serious load weight in those pics and the tires aren't breaking a sweat. Love to see a trailer actually getting used.

Did you get trailer from Govt or private seller? Once in your possession, did you pull drums and check drums and bearings, etc? Brake fluid reservoir empty and rusted? Fluid color if full? Military is famous for not maintaining these and rusted drums, bad bearings, etc., are very common...

Was there a reason for doing that or you just having fun? definitely a good time to paint.

Has the surplus supply of these dried up? Almost nothing coming to auction lately. Figures I want one more M101A2 and a M105A3 and now selection is extremely limited to nonexistent. Wonder how many are left.

I spent the time and funds on my trailers brakes, bearings, etc when I first got them. Now they are trouble free and work perfectly and very reliable. You'll spend more time and effort removing them than it will take to fix them. Post what problems your having so we can help you fix it.

Hey, it worked! I would have done same thing.

Trailers in OK do not require a tag unless used commercially. That truck does NOT qualify as a SMV. Try it and you will end up getting stopped and your truck towed. Under Oklahoma law, former military vehicles are exempt from the weight restrictions and commercial licensing requirements. No...

Their at their life limit with a 2011 date. Definitely try a brute charge and see if they come back. Two batteries will be fine in summer, but may not be enough in the dead of winter. Quite a number of threads about it. Contact SS member 74M35A2. He might be able to help you with the pulley.

New GM throttle cables are out there. Just very hard to find. I found two NOS GM ones on eBay. $25 each.

If your M101A2/3 is loaded and you try to back up a steep driveway, the brakes will activate, if they are working properly. Thats is the reason for the hole in the side of the surge assembly. Empty and they will back up just fine. Dexter, who makes a lot of trailer stuff for the military...

You sure your tow vehicle can handle it?!

Removed radiator and took to shop. Engine and trans cooler line fittings were a breeze to remove. No O-rings were not installed and they weren't leaking. Not sure if they require them. He said it was not the original but a very good aftermarket that's no longer made. Can't remember what...

I don't have, or want a M1101/2. Not sure how to block the surge action on that series trailer. Do they have the FreeBack brakes? Can you back up a hill/driveway with it loaded and brakes don't activate?

The Warn service kits work perfectly.

I carry a rare spare GM throttle cable just for that very reason.

The larger the alternator pulley size, the slower it turns. I assume you went with a modern alternator instead of the original design. They have to turn a certain minimum rpm to charge. That's the way I understand it anyway.
