Let me anotate the picture a bit. I have an adapter that bolts to a 3"x3" tube. It has a pintle eye on one end and a 2" ball socket on the other. I used it on a custom build 'A' frame to tow my Bronco home from Ft. Riley. To get the trailer home I need to bolt a 3x3 tube with a plate...

Does anyone know the diameter of the hole that accepts the pintle eye on an M105A2 trailer? I am going to pickup the trailer in the picture next week and I need to show up with an adapter to put a civilian hitch on the front.

RE: Another very cold trip I now have 4 trailers to haul, I got a scrapped M101A1 that's missing tongue, wheels, tires and 1 brake drum. Your photos tell me that It might work. If worse comes to worse, we can take 2 off post to a friend's place and make a second trip that night. Details at 10.

I have an M105A2 that is missing serious parts. I bought it to make a civilian trailer by changing wheels and hubs. I have already promised brake parts if there are any left over. I have 2 other complete M105A2 that I am fixing up, so I might need some parts myself. I also might want to keep...

I was cruising GL and found an interesting engine and thought that one of you guys might be interested. It's a 4 cylinder flat head, but the radiator hose connection doesn't look right to be a Go Devil. It's not a pull-out because the freeze plugs are still clean...

I wish that I was going to be able to meet you guys in GA, but my tail feathers have been clipped. Kenny and Jon, thanks for the info, good stuff to know. For you guys scrapping out frames, please latch onto a few sets of the lifting mounts that bolt to the frame and front bumper. I have some...

Okay, I'll warm up the soldering iron. I could have used that when I towed my Bronco back from Ft. Riley. Most of the trip was in the dark, so I turned the Bronco's flashers on and ran the Bronco engine at a high idle at truck stops to recharge the battery. I saw a trailer cable on eBay that...

Where does the light cable connect to the towee?

I'm glad to hear that your top is in good shape; that tells me that mine should be also. I will keep you in mind for parts. I will probably pull the brakes off of one, but I will be fixing the other 2 up. When I have them 'in hand' and get them inspected and fixed as they need it, I will take...

PM me. I may be able to help.

It occurs to me that a person could get into a lot of trouble by buying a MV wrecker and trying to be helpful without knowing what he is doing. For you guys that ran wreckers in the military, I understand where you got your training, but what about others? I learn a lot of things by trial and...

I believe that I looked at that truck when I went down at Carson to inspect trailers. It is a good one. I got 3 of the M105A2 trailers in that auction, but I'm still trying to get the EUCs.

What is a wiffle tree? You guys sound like you're talking up a snipe hunt.

The EUCs are just a pain; it's the SF97 that chaps my #$&*. If you buy a car at a dealership, they don't add 10% fee, then sales tax then come back and tell you that you owe them another $60 to transfer the title. I asked someone in customer service what it was for and what sounded like a...

I just won the bid on a salvaged M101A1 trailer, so salvaged that it doesn't need an EUC. My wrench bending buddy and I want it to build a civilian trailer to pull behind his Jeep and the missing parts were not very important. BUT, I have to part with something else. My wife has been kind...

More from the 39th:

I believe that there were several National Guard units from Oklahoma in the 1/11th and 1/84 Artillery. Just like in Iraq, the Guard units caught it coming and going. Several guys in HHB, 1/11th got their service time extended beyond the 6 years in order to deploy them. From what I have read...

In my earlier research I must have been confusing the Arkansas unit with another. I just rec'd this email:

That's a good, LOW mileage truck. With a good inspection, I wouldn't be afraid to drive it 215 miles. At this time at Ft. Riley, if they didn't photograph it, like the engine, that means that they didn't see anything suspicious. I met them and those folks really try hard to present the...

Last month I drove my first MV from Ft. Riley to Denver, CO, 480 mi. I couldn't get anyone to drive chase car, so I towed my '69 Bronco back. See http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=13923&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=20 It would be irresponsible of me to...
