Sadly, I didn't really do anything with Mr. Pioneer Tool Trailer here. Priorities changed drastically in the last 3+ years with large property improvements and diversions of money to other goals. Then this winter I acquired too many trailers. I don’t want to be that guy to let a project rot...

Hey mkrusi! I apologize, I've been fairly absent of late. I haven't done a single thing with the trailer except keep it covered in my driveway. I want to put this long bodied Pioneer Tool trailer body on the frame of an M101A3. I was hoping to find an M101A3 cargo trailer (or just the frame)...

Great perspective. Thank you. You're right, there's nothing making the trailer unique or more special over another Pioneer Tool trailer that would warrant a "proper" period or any type of specific restoration.

(Note, the pictured tires were actually from my M101A1 trailer and were sold on the small bodied 1960 Pioneer Tool trailer) I was thinking, as I tried to repair the rust I could get valuable practice welding because I don't require the trailer to look perfect. Question: For all...

Since I bought the larger bodied Pioneer Tool trailer, I had a tough time deciding which one to keep - if any. I did want to keep both, and I probably would have if I had a large building to store them inside (but I certainly wasn't going to rent a place to do that). The pro's, cons, and...

eBay or you'll have to make your own. I purchased an NOS front leg jack for an A2 model from a member here (CUCVFAN), and he had paid someone to make a crank handle for it (that was like the original) Please post this in the Classifieds.

Honestly, even though I know they'd had a number of interested potential buyers, no one was going to travel to their remote location with another trailer to winch this one on and haul home, and who would be willing and have the right set of tires and wheels to bolt to it and tow it home? Only...

Well, I've done it again. :shrugs: :grin: I had been watching a local ad for a larger, newer style Pioneer Tool trailer. I think it had been for sale for the past 6 months. Probably their first snow fall judging by the pictures. It was in a pretty isolated section of northern Utah, past Park...

What Evil Dr. Porkchop said, with one correction though, versions of the M101A2 & M101A3 have different axles, and thus use different wheels. From my research on Steel Soldiers, the following is the best I can determine the differences to the M116 FRAME that was used on both the Pioneer Tool...

I hauled the body and frame to Clearfield Recycling yesterday, which is ironic considering the title of this thread. Behold the final moments of the donor trailer. Fortunately, its parts will live on in my trailer (which project I will resume next spring). :usafss: Frame, leaf springs, cargo...

I apologize, I keep forgetting to take a picture in the evenings, but I have a friend who has is able to get used conveyor belts. It's a little thicker (about 3/8" vs 1/4") but appears to be made of the same material: the rubber with internal woven cloth for strength/durability. I have yet to...

I currently have the donor trailer's stripped frame up for sale in the classifieds and a couple places on Facebook. I'll be posting it up for sale locally and if no takers there, then I'll haul it to the scrap yard before winter. Being perched on the M105 trailer makes it easy to take to the...

I haven't been working on this project as of late. I will admit the deuce projects this year turned out to be much bigger than I had anticipated with additional maintenance piled on top so I'm burned out on "projects". But I will need to finish tearing down and removing any items I would like to...

Thanks Mr. Gimp. Do you have a rough estimate what thickness of wire would be good for those two applications? My brother said he uses 0.030" wire - I assume he meant for everthing he welds.

I pulled off the shackles from both trailers and noticed, for the first time, that the pin heads are different. The parts trailer shackles are on the left, the first trailer's shackles on the right. Same manufacturer, separated by one month and about 400 units via the serial number. Must...

Thanks! At the place I went to in Cache county UT, it's supposed to be $30 for a dismount and remount. Though, obviously, to blast and powder coat these wheels I had to do it in two separate visits (a visit for dismount, and a later one to remount). Doing it like this the place tried to charge...

Sent a message a couple weeks ago to ZiggyO, didn't get a response. So I carried on with my Super Lugs and tubes from Gimpy (excellent tubes!) I got them mounted this weekend, they do look pretty good. Though, once inflated, one of the Super Lugs I got from Goldneagle has 4 or 5 slashes in the...

Those would look so cool on a trailer pulled by a deuce running the Michelin 395 XZLs!

You should post pictures here because I've never heard of a Michelin XZLs in 9.00 x 16!

You're a horrible human being. :whistle:
