    There is NO way to do it without building an adapter? Where does this previously mentioned pin go?

    Backing up with surge brakes?

    HOW do you back up a M105A3 trailer? The surge brakes keep me from backing up, even a little bit. I have read how to bypass the brakes with a C clamp but there MUST be a built in way to do it, or an adjustment I need to learn. I have been looking for an operators manual but have not found one...

    Here are some pics of the un loading of the trailer. Sarge used the Kabota to get the back one off, then he used the mighty M.A.N. truck to get the front one off, it was too cool for school (as they say). After they were unloaded we took them to a parade!!!

    If you can get the fork operator to put the trailers on there straight then you can jockey them into position with a come-along, but a winch would be MUCH easier (and safer). Bring something to rest the tongues on while the trailers are being slid into position with the nose wheel up, I have a...

    I'll wager you spoke to Amy, who learned about such things as come-alongs and straps from watching us monkeys load our footballs the other day:)

    Hooks M105A3 recovery

    That is always the catch for me, I SWORE I would ONLY look at the auctions in San Antonio (90 miles from my house) because everywhere else is too far away, but sometimes things are too enticing and too cheap for me to let get away:oops: and the end result is riding 400 miles to Texarkana for a...

    You are right, tongues to the rear should fit better than tongues to the front.

    Hooks M105A3 recovery

    Not at all, part of the reason I started this thread was to try to help others with their recovery. The front trailer on our 20' car hauler had it's lunette directly over the trucks hitch, with the rear trailer's tongue underneath the front trailer and about a foot between the spare tire and the...

    The jack also fits on the little blocks on the rear of the trailer to act as a stabilizer while loading.
