No eye bolts or safety chain plate on M38A1's the trailer chains would hook to the lift rings inside the bumperettes, but USMC M38A1's moved the lift rings to the outer lip of the rear bumper after reinforcing it, so the trailer chains would not reach out that far, so, just curious, as they left...

Hose was replaced a few years ago, so is still good, but I dropped the leaking tank and had it cleaned, repaired and lined. Putting it back in today with floor jack to hold it in place and I pulled the filler neck and cap and the hose. Can't find answer by searching, so here goes...do I install...

I do not know what Eastern Surplus is selling for $3,900 if you bought a NOS one for less than half that. If I pass it on, it will be the next guys issue with mounting hardware. If I keep it on a static display vehicle, I'll do what I have to do to make it safe, but probably not OE spec. I do...

Picked up well worn Type !!! S-788 shelter, don't know if it has a/c and/or generator until I get it opened up. My game plan was to place it in the bed of a non running but complete M998, paint it up desert tan and use it as a signage and photo op vehicle in front of local military museum...

Sorry, forgot to cut and paste data plate info. Here is what we can make out: First tag toward tub Columbs labeled Responsible Agency ; xxxx; maintenance; Us army repeated in columns for Chassis Xxxx Body Xxxx Equipment Second tag Weights columns empty; cross country 166 1/2 long 83 wide...

Well, here is what we can make out on the data plates and a pic of the air brake set up, appears to not have an air tank, but just the master cylinder. Tail lights are the rubber Douglas connectors. the 2/68 date may refer to the TM and not the DOD of the trailer. If the TM is correct, this...

Picked this trailer up today from a farm auction. Data plate says Stevens A2501M67. Don't know why it is not in order, but I'm guessing this is a variant of the M105 1 1/2t trailer around 1967. But I can't find any reference to the steel landing wheel. It is 24v with military tail lights...

Thanks, that's exactly the info I needed. Thanks to all who helped.

Need M998 to transport US Army Black Knights at an air show tomorrow and just discovered that my drivers side rear seat base plate and cushion are missing. Want to cut a piece of plywood so that I can carry a jumper back there. But my M998 is staged at the PDK airport and I'm not near it, so...

I'm away from my shop and manuals and want to pull the front diff cover to see why a small leak. Any tips or tricks to the removal? Got all the bolts out but two on the passenger side, one comes loose but cannot be removed as it bottoms out against the caliper bracket. The blt right aboth it...

So, if we are thinking fire extinquisher bracket and the holes match each other on each fender, this would be a bracket on each fender. Any reason for two extinquishers out on the fenders? Maybe one a decontaiminator and one a fire ext? Two decontaminators? Don' know if I have a bracket...

I will post the pic of the holes when I receive it.

Looked at a friends 73 Ax today and pretty original, not a lot of Bubba mods. Missing lift rings and brackets on front, felt like holes in the rear for snorter and antenna mount. But, on each front fender, five hholes in same pattern on both front fenders about half way from cowl to grill...
