The difference in milage with 9:00 vs 11:00 will not be measureable. Especially if your carying the extra weight of 10 tires/wheels. The Bighurt nailed it. And your going to work a real good half day, changing these things around? If you don't have experience towing trailers, maybe you...

Jake nailed it. A loose wheel will do that - they get fatigued, then fail sometime down the road. I have a lot of my own stuff, and am very careful about somebody using a big air wrench. They can do a lot of damage, that is invisible for some time. I watch them like a hawk, when they are...

Hey moose - where did you mount the license plate. I'm always ooking for ideas for that one. Thanks

Replacing the lights with CIVI lights is dumb, dumb, dumb! Micky mouse cheap plastic lights, made in china------ well, I just guess that I might be a little biased Changing the two bulbs in each light is the way to go. Those military lights are bullet proof, along with the waterproof wire...

Yes - changing the bulbs to LED's is the way to go. That and make up an adapter for the civi applications. Your existing round/7 pin recepticle is universal on commercial vehicles. I would leave it, and add the MV recepticle to the other side. That anf the LED's will give you the ability to...

That is far too much weight, not to have trailer brakes. That 105 will push you into the middle of next week, in a panick stop. Just because its paid for, is not a good justification.

The Air brake tubing works well, but you have to use the insert too.

I have seen gasser's ignite fumes in the crankcase, usually, when you are trying to start them, but other times as well. The engine was tired and there was oil dilution w/gas, due to blow by. They blew the valve cover gasket out from under the valve cover. Are you getting fuel in the crank...

Oh Yeah - welcome to the site. I went to High School there, and grew up in Littlerock

Its easier to just buy a later M101A2. You get standard tubless, 8 hole wheels w/load range E tires, Plus a bullet proof surge brake system. Sell the A1, or keep it to go with a M37.

Electric brakes are problematic, but often due to the wiring running to the wheels on an axle that is constantly moving - the wire fails!. Its hard to imagine how you would change axles, to one with electric brakes, and not eliminate the parking brakes that are integral to the surge brake axle...

Sounds like you have spring tension on the linkage from your clutch (its adjusted too tight, as you suspect). You probably have to relive that spring tension on the linkage, before you can remove the pin further. Sometimes pins have groves worn in them, that cause them to hang up in the...

There is only an electri transfer pump in the tank. The IP will do some pumping, but if the supply is broken from the tank to the Ip, It will be really hard to start, if not impossible, without the "in tank" booster. It can't be too expensive. Runners are not too bad to come by! When they...

A lug wrench, tie wire, and duct tape. I never go anywhere without a shovel either - in case you have to dig a hole to fit the jack in under the axle, when you have a flat tire, because the axle is too low.

Sounds like your air pack/booster. A quick way to release the brakes is to crack a rear bleeder screw.

Drill lots of holes, then use a chisel to break up the wood, till it relieves the pressure - short answer: take it out in pieces!

Both left and right!

A two ton "Come Along " is adequate. All you have to do is move it- assuming its not stuck in the mud. You don't have to lift it. Also, I have a good one.... There are the cheap ones too. The issue is to Geter-done. Do what you have to. That does not mean to jeopordize safety issues...

You can "Come-Along" a dead vehicle onto your trailer. I grew up that way. That's all we had. There is nothing wrong with it. Might not be too glamorous, but it surely works, and helps control a minimum budget. Staying on your budget is real important! Good Luck! I like to see more budget...

That is a nice set-up - neat looking trailer. Are those wheels riveted together? Take them apart and slide the rim out to where you want it. Weld them back together. Put them on a hub and spin them, to get them straight. I did that on some M-37 wheels, that I put on a wagon. It wouldn't...
