I am looking at replacing the original tires with new ones. I don't like some of the stress cracks from age. Has anyone replaced their tires on their m1061a1? If so what company did you go with.

Today I moved my dads ford compact diesel tractor on the m1061a1 back home. Drove great behind the truck. Truck did great at 50 mph. Trailer has had alot of use since finishing it.

I have also thought of this plan. Originally looked at a s280 but I'm now really considering putting my s250 on it and using that for sleeping in and then the rest of the space as a deck for my girlfriends and mine m274a2 mule to strap down for camping and shows and then when the mules not on...

Today I finished the emergency tank drain pull cable. Bought 3/32 steel cable and a swaging tool and finished up the trailer. Took it on its first voyage and picked up a large number of US army pallets. (These were not light.) Trailer did great. No wagging or pulling to either direction...

Thank you. Had to switch the photo around

Here's the before and after comparison. Next week I plan on hauling my first load with it.

Today I finished painting the trailer. Got 2 coats of marine corps forest green (34052) on the trailer. Added new reflectors and stainless steel hardware. Painted glad hands. Removed tape from data plates. Shined the tires. Trailer looks as new as its going to get. Very pleased with the...

Today I moved the trailer so I could get some sun on it and sanded with 40 grit to scuff the surface. Wiped down with xylene and then rolled 1 gallon of herculiner on the bed surface. Taped up the taillights and tomorrow painting the trailer marine corps forest green.

10-4. Since I have owned it I always connect them so they aren't exposed to the elements. Shouldn't be any more issues with water and moisture

I replaced all zerk fittings on the trailer and greased everything up. Clearly there wasn't much grease or any grease in any of the zerk fittings. Definitely made a difference on the brake handles, and jack stands. Next step is scuffing the trailer and putting down bedliner and then paint.

I don't understand your comment wheelspinner. Can you elaborate?

Yes sir, I use them. The previous owner did not and before that I'm sure that's why stuff got inside them. That won't be an issue again that's for sure.

there is. Apparently they never used them. I do currently use them for my glandhands.

Decided to replace the air filters on the m1061a1. Look at the corrosion inside the old one. It looks solid instead of a copper filter. New one you can see the nice copper mesh. Trying to take the old ones out I broke the u-bolts. After new u-bolts, put it back together and now when I hit and...

I planned on that as well. Instead of a T handle at the back I was going to just do a loop coming out the back.

Today I helped my girlfriend prep her m1045a2 for paint and while she was sanding, I installed a new drain valve for emergency tank. Next is to make a longer cable to reach back of trailer so I can drain the tanks appropriately.

Today I Installed my trucklite brakelights. Wasn't sure what color I want to go with yet but I'll tape them off when the time comes. I also took the reflectors off in prep for paint. Gotta finish taking data plates off and grease the zerk fittings. Looks like most of the zerks have years of...

I did that first. After I did that I disconnected the old valve and opened the valves and blew anything in the line out. I assume it was because gladhands were exposed. They aren't exposed anymore

Well after looking at my issues with the relay valve being so rusted I removed the pipe plug on the air filters attached to each glad hand and water poured out of them. I blew the lines out and removed all water. If those filters go bad it could be why there was issues. So to combat that I'm...

So the right front hub driving home was getting real hot. We decided to close the valves to the gladhands and drive it back without brakes. Truck did fine, after getting it home the trailer sat until a week ago. I got a m1061a1 tm at the hagarstown military show and decided it was time to...
