    Towing capacity between 5 ton and a 10 ton pintle hitch

    If I read this right you are saying that you will be towing equipment + trailer that would equal 40,000 to 45000 pounds. F that is the case that trailer would snap a 5 ton pintle off your trunk. It sounds like you need a 30 ton to be safe, giving you 60k for combined trailer weight and...

    Vehicle Registration Forum

    I have seen a few dispersed threads about this. I think it would be a good idea to have a place to put them all. Similar to the technical manual section

    M105a2 recovery and brake question

    I am thinking I may actually have an a1 varient of the m105 because I have a single air line and the large single wheel landing gear. On the subject of landing gear are the single wheels interchangable with the dual wheels with the integrated jack? If they are I would love to do the swap...

    M105A2 Recovery

    Those are some nice looking trailers. I just bought one and will soon go a similar route converting it to civi use. Those are actually the lights I was planning on using as well. Thanks for the good ideas.

    Blasting Aluminum

    Walnut shells or chem stripper should work buf honestly I would prefer the walnut shells. That chemical stripper is nasty stuff.

    M105a2 recovery and brake question

    I was hoping to keep the trailer as origional as possible, (In case I get a Deuce :)) So I was hoping I could utilize what the trailer already had as standard issue. I also have a leak in one wheel which I believe is the brake cylinder. Is it easier to rebuild these or to just replace with a...

    M105a2 recovery and brake question

    I am assuming you are speaking of a dually axle from a pickup, and I have thought of that, but I am worried the pumpkin would be too large and would bottom out into the trailer. Has the dually axle swap been done before, and would any modifications need to be made to the axle itself to get it...

    M105a2 recovery and brake question

    I recently went up to Texarkana to pick up a M105A2 trailer. The recovery went well and I plan to use the trailer to haul firewood and possibly a tractor from time to time. I do plan on pulling it with a 1 ton dually so I am not really worried about the weight. That being said I would like to...

    Strange M101A2 WTF anybody got a clue?

    No clue, but I wouldn't mind having some additional tie down options in my 105a2. Looks like you have a nice collection of spare parts there.

    What would you do for a Deuce

    Well it looks like there is a long drop in my future, just hope the stop is not a sudden one. I have convinced myself that it will be well worth the few minutes of terrifying insanity for years of fun the Deuce will inevitably bring (providing the chute opens and I live through the whole...

    What would you do for a Deuce

    Just want to start by saying I got my new M105a2 trailer home Saturday without many issues. I got in late so my wife didnt get a chance to see it until Sunday, She said I was crazy (as she normally does) especially when I mentioined that I now need a Deuce to pull it with. Planning on using it...
