Ditto what SCSG-G4 said,"No problems! Go in the main gate, around the curve and turn left into DRMO. GL is there on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, and both fellas are very helpful."
Went up last month to recover two trailers and as long as you call ahead no problems. Get there early cause...
Thanks for all of the responses. I doubt I'll be able to afford the Amtech top and I would like to make sides and a roof to take on & off the existing side racks & bows. Will probably do something similar to mine like what Wolf mentioned seeing 30 years ago. As a side note a few years ago I...
Has anyone ever built a hard top for a M101 trailer? I am thinking of doing it to mine so I can secure the insides. Has anyone seen this done by the military? If so any pics please post them.
Roling up the sides
When you roll them up roll to the inside so if you leave it like that long, rain water will not build up in the roll. The post corners should have straps to hookl on the outside.
Pioneer trailer
I do not think it adds too much to your question (maybe it will) but when I cleaned and painted the underside of mine I made out the Bethlehem steel stamping very faintly on one of the cross members.
Ditto what NDT said. I have a gear reduction on my 84 and it works great. The existing supports work fine. I bought a spare for when my old one goes on the 85.
Parramore Surplus Company
Thanks Steve will do.
I got the bug for more and my EUC just went to Battle Creek so I should be picking up another in the next month or so. Thanks again teh trailer did well bringing it back from Gville

My 416 was a GL aquisition so I was the first civy owner. When I went to the county tag ofc they tried using the 4 digit vin...
There is a pdf of this manual floating around somewhere. The cover indicates it is not approved for public distribution. I think because of some of the civilian tool manuals that are a part of the manual are copyrighted. I used to have it on computer before it crashed.
There is no specific M...
Printed circuit board
Contact LMC for a circuit board. I had to replace mine a few years ago in my 84 an dthey had one. If you pull the cluster you can get the part # off the circuit board itself.
Gun Trucks
You may want to get two additional books with plenty of pictures.
1. Armor in Vietnam by Jim Mesko published by Squardon Signal
2. Gun Trucks by timothy Kutta published by Squadron Signal
Good luck
Have you taken delivery of the duece yet? Where is it? Still in a GL lot? I mean is it in Lehigh Acres? I may want to try to trade a complete M35a2C for the right M109A3. But I don't want drive the state to do it.
