    M103a3 Prices???

    Sounds like there never was a Title, so its more complicated then that. It depends on the State.

    Does this look weak or am I just over-reacting

    It sure is weak! No lateral support. Had the ends been filled in, even with as light as 1/4" material, Boxed, and welded up, it would have been OK. The way it is, is a wreck waiting to happem!

    M105 Wiring Harness Makeup

    Its a regular cable, wraped around individually insulated wires. Go with the 7-pin (flat) RV plug/recepticle. Its the most common. You can then go from it to the little flat 4-pin that would be common on a sno-go trailer, etc. I say the 7-pin RV one, unless you are around commercial...

    M416 Civiian Wheel Interchange

    For some reason, I have the impression that the old Willeys Overland wheels would interchange. That is going back there to the old days. When I was a Kid, I had a Willeys pickup, and those trailers were common then.

    Media Blasting Split Rims

    I sand blasted some one time and then painted them. Its really hard to hurt them. There are several ring styles, that you don't want to interchange. Not sure if that is in the military line. It was a lot of work doing all that. Having someone, as above, do it, sounds real cheap and easy...

    coolent heater blowing cold air

    Or you could also have and "air lock" in it. Loosen one or both hose clamps at the heater, and see if some air woun't escape. Try both, so you are sure. Leave the pressure cap on the raditor, so there is some pressure in the system.

    mep-003 crankcase ventilation

    Thats a neat trick. In the Old Days, there were more valve covers and valves to adjust, but that is a neat. I'll remember it

    Recovered my M101A2 last week

    Congratulations on the great buy, and welcome to the site. You even got a tongue jack on the trailer. As a tip, on pulling your 101 empty, pull the pins on the one side of your head gate, and fold it around to the side - less wind drag. I secure it back, with a couple of bungees.

    A3 tire work in Massachusetts

    Tire lube is an indespensable ingredient, even on the beads of tires on the lock ring wheel assemblies.

    M37 Parts list

    STSCSS Better check that head for "flat"! My guess is that you will have to mill it. Last time I did mine, it was out .017. A gasket won't hold with that kind of difference.

    Inside dually stuck, and fixed

    I think it was like 73M819 called it - rusted on. The BFH that is called for is a 16#er. Use it to hit the rim of the wheel. That can also happen here with a combination of rust/mud/ice. The BFH is standard equipment to carry with you. Add it to the pioneer kit!

    ? for the surge brake gurus

    Change the shock. If the brakes are working properly, you won't know the trailer is behind you, during any kind of stop, fast, panic, or regular!

    Mep-002a with trailer questions

    Its a heck of a deal in the first place, if it runs and generates. Do you get a title with the trailer? That a REAL BIG thing for me. I'd want it covered, with a tarp, or shedded. You can do that part later though.

    Milky antifreeze

    You said it runs good, etc. No outward signs of leaks.... The oil cooler tends to be much more problematic. Do the oil cooler.
