Dimensions for my original bow wood is:
57-3/4" long, 1-3/4" wide, 1-1/4" thick.
This is the bow wood, not the side boards---do you need the dims of them also?--can measure them for you if you need.
I did find out that the Mahogany is most likely from the Phillipines--best I can determine, it...
Mine are all Mahogany, so they may be a little off from the White Oak. I can measure tomorrow and post dimensions(I had to make two replacements)
When you say 'composite' what is that?-carbon fiber?
I hauled a load of oak logs a while back(M101A2)--didn't even flex the springs that much. I usually pick up 2 yds of planting dirt for the garden--if it's wet-now that pushes it down - sometimes to the bumpers-still tracks true.
Had a neighbor tell me the left rear tire looked like it was...
Hey, you folks in SW Fl.--I'm here in Alva--Don't have a driven MV, but an M101A2 trailer---pulled by a Toyota Land Cruiser- someday converted to a camper - but not at the expense of the original design. Didn't know there were folks this close. Gary Stilwell
I have a Barber-Coleman Co.(Rockford,Ill) Aircraft controller motor-24VDC Mod #aYLc 2121, Ser No. 03222. I think it was used as a cooler control on a B-24. Anyone have any info on this motor? (wiring diagrams/manual/pics)?Thanks,Gary
Stick with the DOT 5(silicone). I just cleaned, flushed, and refilled my 101A2.(took 2 Advance Auto bottles with a tad left over). The Silicone is hydrophobic--doesn't like water, unlike the DOT 3 product.-So your system will stay cleaner. If you don't have any leaks, it should be a 1-time job.Gary
the winch is a manual one used originally for jacking 4160 volt circuit breakers out of their cabinets. It has a ton of turns to get any movement, but is sturdy, it'll pull the whole trailer without too much manual effort. I have two more of them, I think somewhere. I mounted this on the trailer...
Fuzzytoaster is correct-4 wheeler and mower-or anything else that will fit. The front bow originally had a metal bow--I replaced it with Mahogany to match the others.
I think I must have goofed the post before, but, the corners were blasted, primed and painted w/ Rustoleum Aged Iron paint. Bow Carriage Bolts & nuts were all replaced w/stainless and painted copper. For the sides, the bolts(flat head screws) were all replaced w/Stainless-into captive nuts--all...
Those sleeves are like captive nuts-yes, they are necessary to hold the wood to the frame(speaking about the side wood here.) These nuts are available from local hardware stores(Ace). you can get them in brass/Zinc/Stainless. If I remember correctly, the bolts are 3/16"X 1 1/4" . They go through...
