New M105A2 from GL

[steelsoldiers]

I won a M105A2 at Mechanicsburg today. I needed something to haul firewood, camping supplies, etc behind the 818 and the 756A2. It has a couple bends in the top lip, but nothing a sledge-massage can't fix. The price was right. Looks like I'll need a couple of bows and a top eventually. There were a TON of trailers going off yesterday and today. Some of them were real nice and brought over $300. Some went for under $100.

Thats a NICE M105A2. It looks new! It's a dual hose air resevior model.

Nice win!

I still need to add another M105 to my motorpool. Shoulda kept one of the many I gave away.

Chris: Nice trailer! Good luck!

Kenny: Come see me...I've got seven cherry M105s. I'd hook you up on one.

 

[Recovry4x4]

7 of them Bruce? Any older ones?

 

[BKubu]

Kenny, I only have one older trailer. It is a 1968 model. It is rust-free, has crank up landing gear and has near NOS wooden racks on it (all four sides). The trailer was shipped back to Ft. Drum from Camp Victory, Kuwait. All of the other trailers are the newer style.

Sorry to hijack-

Bruce, could you look at my post "M127 from PA to VA?

Let me know of any ideas.

Thanks!

 

[steelsoldiers]

Thanks guys. I wasn't looking for a cherry trailer, but it seems pretty nice . I just needed something to work with that I wouldn't have to work on

Is anyone from VA or places further south going to be picking up trucks or trailers from Mechanicsburg or Chambersburg that could tote my trailer along with them?

If not, I guess I'll stick the pintle hitch in my diesel Excursion or my brother's F250 and haul it back.

Eddie,
I have an idea for you. Go down to Winslow's place in NC. Pick up one of my M818s...and proceed up to PA to get your trailer. I recommend you grab the solid green one as it is cherry and runs like a raped ape. I'll take a look at your post.

Bruce,

You don't want to sell a M332 do you?

 

[BKubu]

Jason, sure, I'd sell you one. All three are very, very nice. The tires are a bit dry, though. A couple even have the cargo covers. I'll give you a buzz this weekend.

So, steering this thread back on topic.

Is anyone else south of PA picking up something from Mechanicsburg in the next month?

Chris,
I'm trying to enter into negotiations with Westfolk to get my 818 and M127 down to Fredericksburg. If he can do it and get your trailer too it can stay at my shop until you get time to fetch it. Waiting on my first EUC though, may take a while.......

 

[steelsoldiers]

Thank you sir. Keep me posted!

 

[steelsoldiers]

Nice! Thanks Joseph!!

Well, my M105A2 just arrived in the driveway behind Joseph's trusty deuce. Joseph and his helper just headed south to NC to pick up a M52A2. The SS supply train works great!! I have a spring seat for CGarbee and Kenny's winch just left with Joseph for Derby and 1stDeuce!

Thanks a bunch Joseph. I'll be sure to post more pics once I have a chance to go through it in the daylight!

Yahoo, the winch is gone, the winch is gone! Now to find an M105.

hmmm

Your pics show a cover under all that.. Seems like you were just one short on the bows.. So how was it in the daylight?

NICE TRAILER, NICE PRICE!

I got it parked in the side yard with the 818 this morning. It sure is a lot easier to move one when you can just look through the rear window and see which way it's going. I hate backing them up with a cargo truck.

Yep, the cover was a surprise. I thought I saw something under all of the stuff, but wasn't sure. It has 4 aluminum bows for the middle and one wooden one for the end. The little extension is missing off of the end bow. I need an wooden end , but have a friend that is hooking me up with one. The wood on the sides looks brand new. There is a little rust around one of the loops and a little in the seam next to the driver's fender. Nothing the MIG can't fix. The cover is solid green vinyl and is in great shape. The drain valve is broken off of the air tank, but the rest of it looks intact. I am going to work on it this afternoon and get some pics. Best $90 I ever spent
