M101A3 jack is a weird design, it is supposed to be replaced whole if something breaks. Gears are accessible for lubrication, but the corkscrew is completely encased and cannot be lubricated, truly a mind-boggling "feature".

They do look like these on the pic, but no slots or holes for a roll-pin can be seen. I'll check again. I presume these are not blind pins, so hole, in general, should exist through the entire piece?!

Does anyone know how to disassemble the landing leg from M101A3 trailer? It is stuck and I wanted to disassemble and fix it, but besides removing the top cap I do not really know how to proceed. Gears appear to be press-fitted to shafts, but they won't budge at all, like they cross-pinned. Any...

When adjusting valves on MEP002A, there are A and B marks on the flywheel. Which is the cylinder A? One closer to blower, or the other one? Thank you OG

Has anyone found replacement if original is not available? OG

Looks like NWIOWA is the only one who has one :roll:. I found that electric portion corresponds closely but not entirely, to one on Baldor's diesel gensets. Manual is available from Baldor's web site, it is good at least as a spare parts manual for electrical portion. OG

I was able to obtain manuals from Robin for engine part. Engine on this genset is slightly modified DY-27 type. User's manual is downloadable from Robin's Japan web site and service and parts manuals I obtained from Robin USA. Calling their fulfillment center was useless. Could never talk to...

I believe there are two fuel lines on the tank, feed and return. Both must be opened during operation and both are supposed to be shut during non-operation. I have hard time locating manual for this unit. Does anyone have it? Calls to Robin Fulfillment Center provided in this thread are...

OK, after some search, these are all parts necessary to rebuild the M101/M116 A1 (only A1!) hubs: Bearings: Timken 2984 Timken 28682 Races: Timken 2924 Timken 28622 Seals National (presumably National Seal) 55010 I was advised by a Steel Soldiers member that National #417485 seal would also...

I have trouble finding new seals for M101A1. Part says National 55010, but I could not find in online anywhere. Any ides where can I find it, or what replacement would do?! OG

Does Taylor Trading Co. have a web site? What is their username on SteelSoldiers? OG

Looking for M105A2 bows set, if anyone has some to spare... og

Does Schutt Industries still exist? Link appears dead. Has anybody contact them recently? Thanks og

Thank you guys. I wear mask (real mask, not dust mask) when sanding and I would wear it for painting as well, although I may ask someone to do painting for me, simply because I have no proper painting facilities nor equipment to do it. Priming the metal spots before paintng the entire trailer...

I purchased recently M101A1 trailer from GL. I do not have time nor money to strip the old paint to the metal, so I was thinking about using the steel brush (coarse full-twist wires)to remove old loose layers and rust and then repaint it. Given that old paint will not be stripped to the metal...
