I also add a quart of 2-cycle engine oil when I fill tank.
It keeps things lubed and happy.
Engine isn’t as loud and fuel mileage is better.
It will enhance the life of injection pump and injectors.
Some guys use transmission fluid (which has friction modifiers), but the two-cycle oil is...
Just add one can directly into tank. Two will not hurt it.
When you refuel next, add another can.
Then a can about every other tank or so.
Everyone has their own preference for fuel additives, but I’ve had excellent results from using SeaFoam.
It simply works.
I use it in everything I own...
This was taken directly from the M101 series trailer TM.
Both of my M101A2 trailers use this exact style lever.
Some levers on eBay are close, but not exact.
Wrong one I believe.
The M101A2 brake lever has a pulley attached for the cable.
This one does not have it.
Typical Saturn Surplus..........Sky high shipping
A can or two of seafoam will help a LOT.
Cleans dirty injectors and keeps system happy.
The eBay covers are surplus originals
I paid $100 shipped for the reproduction.
Its very well made.
Get the Military reproduction grill cover.
It works great and is easy to put on and take off as the temps change.
I can’t remember the name of the company that makes them, but someone will chime in with it I bet.
Well I want four.
It’s anybody’s guess as to what the demand would actually be.
They made thousands of the M101 series trailers and the brake handles are the only thing that’s nonexistent in the surplus or commercial world.
I even contacted the trailer manufacturer and was told they don’t...
As mentioned, Dexter/Redline for brake parts
HydroAct for surge assembly factory parts.
Croft Trailer will have everything you need.
Excellent customer service.
The only thing that’s impossible to find for the M101A2/3 trailers are the parking brake handles.
If you are planning on driving it during the winter, better do some serious rustproofing first if you want it to stay nice.
They use a LOT of road salt up in your area and the CUCVs are notorious for rusting in fenders, tailgates etc.
Mileage, as already mentioned, really means nothing...
