    Help me figure out what this trailer is

    Can we see a pic of the connector on the tongue? Trailer looks 1 ton WWII Ben Hur, but it isn't.

    Tx 715

    Nice project. Wanna sell me the Tornado 230 and any other unwanted parts? 6.2 is a great swap, just need OD transmission, either NV or 4L80E.

    Loose wheel-nut indicators OliveDrab anyone?

    I wonder if you can paint the lime green ones? Installing these tells a commercial vehicle enforcement officer you are serious about safety.

    M35A2 still on U.S. active duty?

    Likely Air Force deuces? The worst of the fleet has been trickling out of GL-Ft. Sam for years now.

    From Hattiesburg to Dry Creek L.A.

    Two of them fit good on a 40' gooseneck. (See pic of loadout at Beauregard). I was able to rent this 1 ton/trailer for the recovery. Maybe look into that option or find a hungry local hotshot driver? Or 4 trips with a towbar? (yuck).

    `1960's trailer Army registration # ??

    I have a 1962 6 ton semitrailer with Army registration 7E0327. I need to come up with a 1961 6 ton semitrailer registration number as the original is nowhere to be found. Carnac could not back into it from the VIN. Does anyone recall how the early 1960's number system worked? There was an...

    I Need Some Guidance on First Truck Selection

    It has been my experience that when you are in the slop you better be 6x6 or it is game over. Tires such as 395's would help the 6x4 M915 but no magic bullet.

    I Need Some Guidance on First Truck Selection

    Nope the M915A1 is a highway only rig. Mine starts to spin on wet grass. But it is fast and commercially viable.

    Tire Question

    For sure go with the rims described above. Using the wheels you have pictured could result in the tire being too close to the hull or tie rod, etc.

    I Need Some Guidance on First Truck Selection

    How about a M915A1 with a military Tru-Hitch? Unless you have a bud with a Cat D-7, do not go mudding with a M-920.

    Tire Question

    We will need to know what model APC. If it is a V-100, yes, they will fit.

    Will 5 Tons be less expensive next year?

    The scrap dealers will always bid them right to wholesale scrap price which is around $2000. So don't expect much cheaper than that.

    Fill the hole with RTV so water doesn't get in there and rust the belts.

    M126 Brakes???

    Yes, the later trailers had straight air brakes. Uses the common cage bolts.

    1971 m35a2 lights cut out

    Also the circuit breaker in the 3 lever switch can be weak. Replace the switch and your problem may go away.

    Yukon hubs and Off Road Designs customer service problem.

    My 2 cents: SOP with defects in almost any industry is get a RMA and send it back. You did not want to do that, so you left the vendors in a bit of a quandary. They offered to assist you with dimensional information. I can promise you, if ORD sent out free replacements for every component...
