Ran over yesterday to get a couple lots won. Tow bar is unused and very nice. Unfortunately, it was short one crow's foot with the large pin size. Instead they gave me an extra axle type connector (the type with the chain). Oh well, sometimes you never know. In the tow bar lot there was a...
Kenny,
I probably paid too much, but it looks to be brand new with (hopefully) multiple feet. Looks complete. I'll find out tomorrow morning. Now I need a deuce again!

My EUC cleared in 31 days (first timer). Ran over this morning to get my genset and trailer. Had to wait in line--GL was hoppin! Took all of 10 minutes to hook up and split. Someone took the fire extinguisher that was on the trailer. Tool box had a new grounding set and hammer and a fuel...
One of the springs on the M353 I recently bought had rust in between the leaves so bad that they were swollen. Pulled it off, used the air chisel to remove the rust and it looked perfect! Heavy as heck and a MAJOR bear to reindex. Finally got it all back to together--very pleased! Check out...
I recently bought this trailer and can't find a TM for it. I also can't find any mention of such a trailer (M492A1 nomenclature) on google. This sure looks like an M353. Something is wrong because the M353 is a 3.5ton trailer and this one states 1.5 ton. Is a TM for the M353 available? If...
Flood light set needed a trailer to haul it. Found an M492A2 (M353?) trailer nearby. Used the winch to slide the skid off my civy trailer an onto the military one. Went very smoothly. Unfortunately, the trailer and light set combo weighs in at about 4800 lbs. Trailer is very nice. Anybody...
Walter,
The radiator doesn't need to come out to change that belt, I've done it many times. The alternator--now that's a different story. Too bad you're so far away, I've got a take off comprressor in excellent condition here at the house. If you want it, just the say the word--no charge...
Ran over to GL in Jax this morning. I won a flood light set (refurbished in 2002 and never used). Had a set of new jumper cables in with the lot! Nice. The boom on this thing is cool--it will raise to about 40 feet! Looks like an artillery piece in my drive! Gotta figure out what to do...
RE: 8 Lug rims
Al,
I'd be interested if I knew they fit the trailer (or CUCV) for sure. Any way you could give me a serial number or NSN number off the rims? Thanks!
Steve
I need a spare for my trailer (M101A2) with 8 lug rim (I think this is also the same rim for the CUCVs). Is this a correct assumption? Anybody have one or two spare tires/wheels for sale? Please let me know. I need it NOW.
Thanks.
Steve
Guys, I won this trailer and genset on GL. I plan on going out (once the EUC clears) and just towing it back behind my F250. I want to get a spare wheel and tire for it before I go out there. But I don't know what type of rim or tire size to get. It looks like an 8 lug wheel but I can't...
EUC status changed to "sent to Battle Creek" this afternoon. I guess this is a good thing. I hope the rest goes more smoothly. Thanks for feeling my pain and the words of wisdom.
Steve
I had to rant some--I won my first item requiring an EUC. What a %$#!? hassle! First I emailed it, after 7 days--no change (submission pending). I chat online with GL on the 8th night out--she said send it again--I did. 9th day I call--different woman says to fax it--she said emails don't...
