    brakes locking up need help

    On deuces and 800 series and perhaps 900 series, you need to lubricate the air pack. go to the manual section of ss and down load the pertinent manuals. My M813A1 started doing this when I bought it and lubricated it worked for me, not to mention checking all the brakes, etc.

    Michigan MV Show & Swap 8-13, 8-14, 8-15

    What an awesome show! I had a blast! Here are some pictures that I took Saturday am. Good seeing you all. I got back safe and sound with the M813A1 and the HMMWV with M1101. Thanks to everyone who volunteered and to Lane, Adrew and Rod for getting the LZ Map on site!

    I drove that truck you are wrenching on! Came from DE and now in FL. I may have the rear propellor but it will be more than a week before I can get to it.

    The forked item looks like a spot light holder.

    Michigan MV Show & Swap 8-13, 8-14, 8-15

    Looking forward to seeing the portable deck! Nice idea. Just lock up your vehicle if you do not want people in it. Sometimes people just climb right in to have look and then realize the owner is inside sleeping!

    M1101 vs. M1102?

    Both my M1101 trailers have this style landing leg. One has the wider wheel whereas this one has the thinner one. Both are 1997 dated trailers SN45xx and have all 3 mwo's done. Works good and does not interfere with hmmwv when turn a hard left or backing up.

    M1101 vs. M1102?

    I thought I would add that in pm'ing one of my M1101 trailers, I found the surge brake plunger ( a "T" shaped part) to be broken. This would cause the surge brake not to work. Manual 2330-01-387-5443, Figure 6, Item #5 Part number is 14417 $13.00'ish

    My ECV 6.5td with 4spd is sold and no longer on site so no measurements possible. With a 4 spd, you should use the 242 tcase with new cross-member to support the entire setup. Since this set up is longer (due to the 4spd), then you need a new rear propellor with slip yoke. This would be a...

    Willie, I hope I am not too late on this. To my knowledge, the 4 speed bayonet is similar to civilian ones. The 3 speed had a special water proof setup when the dwf kit was added. Get the 4 speed setup from an H1 or kashcar. The 4 spd tube/bayonet is much longer also.

    Assorted HMMWV pics
