On my M116A3 on the curb side of the tongue aft of the tie-down data plate, there was a decal of some type that was faded and peeling off. I couldn't read any of it so I scraped the remnants off. I got to wondering what that decal was and wondered if there was somewhere I could get a duplicate...

I did a search and found a thread from 2011 where they were discussing this problem but it didn't seem to have a final resolution so I'll ask. The hole where you can put in a pin to lockout the surge brakes for backing up doesn't seem to be lining up on my M116A3 trailer. I haven't really...

Just starting to get into the surge brakes on my M116A3. I pulled the cap off the master cylinder, which unscrewed easily, and looked inside. The inside of the MC was just barely damp. However, it didn't look all rusty and corroded as the pictures of some that I've seen. (See for...

This has probably been ask and answered before but I couldn't find anything via a search. The painted on ID number that they tend to do on one of the tires for the government auctions... ...what is the best way to remove this without damage to the tire? Thanks!

Finally picked up an M116A3 (Thanks DSD277) and I got to work on a few things this week. The ultimate plan is a small camping trailer build. First thing, as with most of them, the front landing gear crank was MIA so I found a thread here with the measurements for one and dug through the odds...

Question regarding the two parking brake levers at the front of many of these military trailers, can these levers be flipped so they point down instead of up when they are released or, as an alternative, can they be relocated further up on the tongue of the trailer? I'm going to be working on a...

Howdy, First post here. I'm looking to possibly get a M116A3 trailer to use as a basis for a small camping trailer build. I understand that they usually come with the 16.5-inch HMMWV 8 lug wheels and tires. I'm thinking of reducing the size of the tires somewhat and I have four 18-inch Ram...
