    1953 M135 Rebuild Project.

    I posted a thread on the trailer page. Saying that I wondered if I put 11.00-20's on this trailer, would they fit. I have 13 11.00-20's in my free stall barn that I can use. Could they have put a M105 box on a M104A1 frame? I've tried calling you, but I keep getting your voice mail.

    Hendersond, That's awesome. It'll most likely be picked up on a Thursday. Catman wants to come with me. Hopefully we can meet up. I'm hoping that I can put 11.00-20's on this trailer, so it'll match my M135.

    I'm moving along slowly on my project, The cold temps have slowed me down a little. I found a M135 on display at a VFW in belleview, WI outside of green bay. I'm going to use this a visual aide in my project. Now I'm going to look for a tarp for my new/old trailer. I have to wait for the EUC...

    M104A1 with a M105 box. Good news I just won the bid from the Government Liquidation a posted 1953 M104A1 trailer but I think it might have a M105 box on it. The year is a good match for my M135.

    I just purchased from the government liquidation a posted 1953 M104A1 trailer. But looking at the photo's, it looks like a m105 box. I'm going to be looking for a tarp, would anyone know a source that I can look into? This trailer is to match up with my 1952 M135 that I'm restoring now...

    1953 M135 Rebuild Project.

    Pulled both seats out yesterday and took apart the wheel cylinder. The cylinder is in bad shape on the edges and I picked up a rebuild kit. Now I need to start working in the cylinder and see if I can get it put back together.

    1953 M135 Rebuild Project.

    The radiator shop gave me a estimated cost of $100. To clean and seal the inside. I pulled the brake shoes off the left rear axle and about to remove the lower wheel cylinder. Going to see if I can rebuild it and possibly buy 1 or 2 more just to have. Cleaned up the fuel float but still have...

    Nice job on the powder coat. I wonder what the average cost would be for something like that? Just a ball park figure.

    I found the cork when I was taking the washer out. Catman was kind enough to give me some cork material. He has helped me tremendously. I do accept every and all knowledge, since this is my first MV and rebuild. Pretty soon I'm taking my fuel tank to a radiator shop for a acid bath and seal...
