    M101A2 Trailer Bearings - Question about Packing at the Site

    I lift them up by hand (by myself) place a temp brace (2x4) to hold it until I get a chain on the back of the trailer. Once chained, remove 2x4, push next trailer up, under the 1st one, chain it & repeat. You should have no problems loading first 2 by yourself, the third one will require a...

    M101A2 Trailer Bearings - Question about Packing at the Site

    Can I tow a M989a1 with a civi pick up?

    I moved mine off base to a temp storage area (about 12 miles) with a 3/4 ton diesel Gmc. Truck moved it fine, stopping wasn't too bad, WOULD NOT atempt highway speeds with it PERIOD !! Ever heard the term "tail wagging the dog" ? Get on a grooved (troughs) or crowned road & your SOL ! As...

    well thats not fun

    Teracoma summed it up pretty well. I myself am guilty of parting out 50 or more of them over the years. They are worth more in parts than complete & running. Very few people that can afford them want them. Prime example, a few years ago I had a really clean m1028a3 that I was trying to sell...

    well thats not fun

    A lot of them have been recycled. That story in the 4x magazine helped kill a bunch of them also. They are out there, just keep looking.

    CUCV Long Term storage container

    Pros are rodent free = no eaten wiring. I bought a suburban to use for parts & parked it out in the field, couple months later none of the wiring is useable. Mice have gotten to the insulation on all the wiring. Cons I do have a little condensation issues but live with it. I've...
