That is 15 minutes kids, not hours!

Scott answered your question above, 7.5' min clearance between the fenders for the A3

We didn't get on the base for these, in fact they didn't even look at IDs at all! Good to know if you are going on RRAD though...

THANKS! That's good to know, I will check on it. The one trailer we tried to back up was empty and still would not allow it, I will have to play around with the system... I want to convert my lights to all LED so I can use my M1009 to shag it around town if I have too.

Worst case you can use your shiny new pintle adapter to tow them off base one at a time and figure it out at your leisure...

The A3 is quite a bit wider than a standard M105, I don't have mine on me at the moment but I will try to get a precise measurement for you.

That should work, your rear tongue will hang out pretty far behind, if you put the rear tires of the front trailer all the way forward on the flatbed make sure you have enough clearance between the box and your tow vehicle, your turning circle will thank you!

We used ALL of a 20' trailer and had the front tongue hanging out over the trailer's, I hope 18' is going to be long enough for you...

I would make life easier. The M105 is narrower than the M105A3 so it should fit on a normal car hauler without crushing the fenders like we did. If you have a receiver on the front of your truck that would make the job even easier. Anyone who has a receiver hitch and a military trailer should...

And they likely will... armored cabs will keep them off GL.

These are at the NG lot down the road from the Lone Star ord plant, not Red River. Call GL and ask them, there MAY be a forklift where your trailer is. If not I would find a way to adapt your ATV winch. OR use a come along and lots of elbow grease, these trailers weigh about 2500lb! OR a pickup...

Be careful! Too much gasoline will make her run hot! I mean exhaust/turbo heat not water hot... everything should be diesel in my opinion, and multifuel is even better!

M813RC and Reloader64 and I went up to Texarkana Tuesday to pick up our M105A3 trailers from GL and we learmed a few things along the way! It is a looong drive up there from Austin and we were up before the sparrows, and there was a threat of the first winter storm of the season, but we pressed...

I have said it before and I will say it again... I WANT ONE OF THOSE SO BAD I CAN TASTE IT!!!

I have heard many stories of people running SOME waste oil in a diesel only motor with good results, I might give it a try in my M1009, but only after some intensive study on the subject (she's my daily driver and I don't want to be stranded by the side of the road).

Thank you! I had to leave SOME pink, it's under the pintleball hitch. The original camo was faded and poorly touched up over the years, and I like the newer pattern anyway so I went with it.

When I do my M109 I will give that a try! Lots of realestate there...

Yep, the A3 and 800/900 series 5tons are DIESEL ONLY!

Do you have a photo of that insignia? As a former photographer and lab rat and a current MV freak, I would love to see it!

The USLD that the EPA makes us use these days is much "drier" (less lubricious) than the diesel the motor was designed to run, so the end result is that the motor and its injector pump will not last as long. I want my M1009 to run forever so I add extra lubrication to my fuel, either Opti-lube...
