Plenty of info in past threads with tons of pics. Here and also in the CUCV modification thread. A little effort on your part in searching will yield the results you want. That mod has been done plenty of times with great success.

It might be a case of stuck rings and needs to be ran with a 80%+ load for several hours to come back around. A little seafoam in the engine oil right before an oil change works wonders too. Really cleans things up internally. Might help your generator, might not, but can’t hurt. (Don’t run...

This might help.

One of these days I’ll have a trailer like yours. I only own 3 M101A2’s. Yep…….someday.

Are the battery cables and other starter wiring original? I discovered the hard way that while they look fine on the outside, the corrosion is rampant on the inside, under the sheathing, and providing extreme voltage resistance. Same for the fusable links. Don’t jump around to different...

Nicely done on keeping the rig going. I salute your spirit, dedication and ability. Was in that area two weeks ago and mentioned to my wife that I would love to just wander/explore that area in our M1008A1. Now if I could just get AntennaClimber to give me his amazing M101A2 Camper trailer……………

Would be nice if they engraved the Data Plates back then.

I like that you didn’t repaint the floor bracket. Still has what looks like boot marks on it!!!

Yes It was definitely made to live on a nice flat tarmac

I have seen these generators laying on their side, upside down and everything in between at the auction yards. Yes I know you mentioned the fluids were drained but I have bought a lot of things that said that, only to discover it wasn’t true In the video it did look like oil smoke but am...

That looks to me like an old agricultural trailer. You can tell the fenders were once much more of a flowing design than any military trailer would ever be. No tie down hooks or even remnants of them. Clearly it can handle a 500-1000lb log without any issues. Worth saving in my opinion...

Hawkers for sure Plus there's a Hawker Dealer 45 minutes away from me.
