    M1101 Bearing set

    Don’t hope…….CHECK If you haven’t physically looked at your bearings yet, recommend you do so ASAP. They are probably fine, but lots of examples of trailer looking just fine, and bearing’s are toast with rust and/or no grease, etc.

    M1101 Fire Set Up

    Great setup Hard to tell from pics, but it looks like the IBC tote needs secured better to the trailer itself. That’s a lot of water weight and the bouncing around in your area could cause load shifting issues.

    Parts for M1101 Brakes.

    That appears to be a free-Back unit. Allows trailer to be backed up loaded and it will not apply the brakes as you back up a hill. Dexter makes them. It’s a great system. They also make them as an upgrade to the M101A2-3 trailers so you no longer have to use a lockout pin. Everything you...

    Black Hawk

    All it takes is money. What it takes to get one of these legal to fly, let alone to make any money with it, is astronomical. Background checks, pilot training, parts, inspections, overhauls, operating costs, certification's, etc. Yea, auction price is cheap. This one is going for more than...

    M116a1 brake cables?

    The TM's for your trailer are free for download on this site. The parts manual will have the part number your looking for. Actually finding the correct ones for sale might be another matter.

    MEP-002A Exhaust Question plus Machine Resurrection

    I don’t think so. No evidence of it being flooded to be found. It has however, been sitting outside uncovered for years in rain and snow. The panel was probably facing to the SW and would directly catch the spring thunderstorms full fury. What’s the fun in getting a surplus machine that...

    MEP-002A Exhaust Question plus Machine Resurrection

    Hertz is fine. Have checked with Fluke multimeter and Kill-a-watt device. Gauge is whacked. Has been since day engine first ran. Sometimes it tries to join the party, but not for long before going far right again. As soon as engine is shut down, the needle sweeps all the way to the left. Have...

    MEP-002A Exhaust Question plus Machine Resurrection

    The Tick is 28v As shown here on a NOS voltmeter for an LMTV/FMTV I have in my parts stash. Either way, the new gauge is reading too high. The original gauge is reading correctly. Agree that most are not super accurate but I don’t want something showing it’s in the red when it’s not even...

    MEP-002A Exhaust Question plus Machine Resurrection

    Installed new voltmeter Reading too high compared to multimeter Old gauge showing proper reading. Returning new gauge and I reinstalled original one. Think I’ll leave that alone for now.

    MEP-002A Exhaust Question plus Machine Resurrection

    NOS dash panel has been ordered. Will probably get NOS knobs also. Still waiting on NOS Voltmeter. Seller sent it the absolute slowest way possible while charging $20 shipping for a gauge. Load testing next week.

    M101A2 Trailer tire change to modern tires?

    Looks good! Great tire on a fantastic trailer. Brand new camo cover to boot. Love those trailers. Do you have pics of data plate? Looks like an A3 to me.

    MEP-002A Exhaust Question plus Machine Resurrection

    The original panel is faded but easily readable. Installed new K2 Preheat relay. Works like a champ now. New hardware and everything. Wrapped wire to protect it from vibration and schuffing. Info on new panel circuit breaker. Ran generator for over an hour at 30% load. Was nice and...
