    M750 van trailer

    I have three of these trailers. The driver I assume didn't know the landing legs fold up, they will clear his mud flaps then. I would try Trailer Transit, Inc. They have picked up all three of mine. My .02.

    Insurance Costs for 5 ton tractor

    I had State Farm about three years ago, but felt it was too much for the amount of my use. I have done quite a bit on the truck last year and looking to put on the road again. Hopefully, I hear something hear that is encouraging.

With the Veterans Day parades coming, get your vehicle in the parade, then while everyone...

    Wheel Cylinders

    I have done several lately. Did all of them without removing the shoes, just stuck screwdriver in each side to hold shoes apart, it is a piece of cake. Maybe hour and half at most per wheel with hand tools.

    5 ton air problem

    RE: air Jason, I have been thinking about it. Since school is back in session, I get kind of locked in. I have really been thinking how to do it. I know it will be worth the time. Papercu, thanks looks like something to do with the air governor from the diagram, which is also what Ace said...

    5 ton air problem

    Need some help. Noticed today my air buzzer didn't go off on my M52A2. I didn't get any air to the brakes, so I shut things down. Got under the truck to drain the air tanks, a little water came out, no air though. Started it up to try again, nothing. Then undid the line on compressor and...

    Need trailer M750 Ft. Sill, OK to near Ft Wood, MO

    I got rid of some (need to update my list) and then I wanted this and that. My garage is full of parts again. Thought this trailer would be a solution to storage. Didn't you know someone for hauling? I still got a half of a tow bar if you want it.

    Weird GL Sightings

    In Utah I saw several rear sections of 2 1/2 tons that had been very professionally turned into trailers. Didn't have my camera wish I would have now. There were several different types.

    M313/M750

    Yes you can, BUT, it really tilts forward. I had one pulled from Texas and the driver had to run temp lights because he couldn't use trailer lights. Although I have seen on ebay adapters that switch civilian to military. The driver also told me to tell them next time to ask for a high mounted...

    What to expect-buying a deuce-moving cross country

    I just got in from Utah, 1300 miles, about 3 hours ago. I would suggest you put a pencil to fuel prices versus the rental truck. Some states had gas higher than Diesel, I paid for gas (highest 3.59 and lowest was 2.99). Low fuel mileage and $3 a gallon average times 2,000 miles? Just my thought.....

    My 292A2 expandable van pics and questions

    I have two M313s and the leveling jacks on them are in a compartment under the back doors, above the bumbers.Hard to see would think they would be there, as this looks the same as my M313s.
