    What did you do to your trailer today.

    I paid $12.50 for a certified weight slip last Wednesday.

    wiring adapter

    Google “Military 24v to 12v trailer converter”. There are several options. I didn’t purchase one, but I remember checking this out: https://www.xm381.com/Mil_to_Civi_Info.html

    STAL II 876

    I’m in the process of getting STAL II 876 titled in the State of Texas. Yes, it’s a process. I’ve made one trip to the DMV so far. After researching a couple things and thinking about it for a while, the lady at the counter agreed that my paperwork was in order and she would issue me a title...

    STAL II 876

    STAL II 876 came with a bunch of extra goodies — spare parts, manuals (hard copy and microfiche), a microfiche reading machine, British flag, set of new tires (ugh… tyres), and more. I got the truck unloaded and went through everything. It felt like Christmas came early! And, of course… I had...

    M35A2 brakes not working. Help.

    When I went to power bleed my breaks for the first time, my air pack was making the same noise you described. I put a little pressure in the power bleeder and all of a sudden I heard fluid hit the shop floor. The air pack sprung a leak and a steady stream of break fluid was pouring out. I...

    STAL II 876

    @cattlerepairman, yes, swimming a Stolly is accurately described as exciting and scary as hell at the same time. According to what I’ve read on the internet (so you know it is to be true), the FV624 should be able to swim with up to 4 tons of cargo. I’ll let you know if I find something...

    STAL II 876

    For a Stalwart that is new (or maintained in good condition), nothing is needed to make it swim-worthy. Just drive it into the water, engage the Dowty jets and start swimming. The Stalwart becomes buoyant in about 5 feet of water. For a Stalwart that is in various stages of restoration (or...

    Welcome to the site and congrats on the new truck! @unitedstatesoffreight just moved a truck half way across the country for me. Nick was great to work with. I’m sure he’ll post here soon.

    M35A2 brakes not working. Help.

    As Mullaney said, it’s an air over hydraulic break system. I would recommend starting by bleeding your breaks. Make one of these: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/deuce-power-bleeder-r4x4-style.3229/ You have a master cylinder, air pack, wheel cylinders and lots of hoses that should be...

    I want to say thank you to @unitedstatesoffreight for getting my new-to-me truck moved half way across the country. Nick was great to work with. He is very professional and his communication is excellent. I will likely be a repeat customer and recommend him to anyone needing transportation...
