    MEP-803A —— Did I Score? I think so……

    Big plans for the ranch. New desert property will get attention later. Need to redo pond and expand it. Etc. Have a LOT of big trees to take down and that size machine is the most “bang for the buck” that I can afford. Buying generators, trailers and parts isn’t helping.

    It definitely beat a Jack and rolling around in gravel. I’m saving up for a 220/240 series Volvo excavator. Halfway there

    Tractor makes changing tires really easy. The new trailer originally had a MEP-803A on it. I was going to pour a pad and permanently install generator. This gives me a lot more options I’m ready.

    It was a long trip to get this trailer, thanks to SS Member FarmingSmallKubota, who gave me a fantastic deal, made the trip worth while. Got to see parts of the country I hadn’t seen before. Trailer towed great and while a bit bouncy, had zero issues. One of the HMMWV tires was flat and would...

    Jack was abused but some love and grease and new parts made a difference. Towed it home on CUCV wheels and hubs stayed nice and cool. Brakes do not work, so that is next priority. Hopefully it’s just needs adjustment Installed LED taillight bulbs on way home before it got dark. Huge...

    Had to fix the typical forklift damage on the rear support bracket. Was not easy since it is 1/4” plate steel. New marker bucket installed and dent removed. It came with this strange floor plate up front. Have no idea what it’s used for.

    Updates Trailer acquired and generator installed. tows great and aside from needing a new jack wheel and top cover and marker light bucket, it’s perfect. The generator cover came from SS member CallMeColt and it fits fantastic. Heavy duty material and worth the money. Also installed an...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Great score! That's a handy looking trailer. Will be looking for one of these. Picture is from the Holden Factory.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Finally hooked up the M149A2 and gave it a bath. Sitting under trees made it nasty. Then drove around for an hour to heat up the tires. Tank was empty. CUCV is looking rough. Mechanically it’s fantastic and extremely reliable. Maybe time for a paint job. It’s Desert Storm service is peeking...

    Another, but unique ID request

    I'd say that's fair. I would have paid that too Very cool trailer and Very unique.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    I'm a little surprised you didn't use AN fittings (Aeroquip) and braided line considering the funds spent on the project already. Looks great regardless! I have that filter setup on several things around the ranch and it works well. Plastic doesn't discolor over time and can tell at a glance if...

    At least you finally did. Thank you. So many times, the original poster never comes back and updates the thread. Good or Bad
