I pride myself in my backing abilities. Do it almost every day with either a M101A2 or a ‘14 BigTex utility / ‘20 BigTex Equipment Trailer. To me, those are easy. Except for occasional days when I can’t back anything up to save my life. The only trailer I could NEVER backup was the M989A1...

Local Dealers info??

Practice Practice Practice Very easy when you finally get the hang of it. Remember, backing a loaded M101A2/3 up an incline will probably activate the surge brakes. You will need to lockout the brakes beforehand.

I definitely miss the days of $200 M101A2’s. Still kicking myself for not getting more.

Looks to be in decent shape. Normal rust spots and dings. Around here, that would bring maybe $800-$900 tops from what I’ve seen. It will be different in NC and so on. Location is everything, along with condition. Trailer cable is about $100+ Tarp is $300 or so. Wood? Can get pricey...

There are a few around. All that means is when they finally do make it to auction, they will be very pricey.

Sounds like you have a M1101/2 Those are built in. Pics?

Read your first post again. We were giving advice based on your statements about the whining noise while driving down the road and not sitting. You were so concerned, you even stopped by a transmission shop. Now we learn about new belts being installed and noise starting right after that...

After Discovering that I inadvertently left hubs locked in for two days, I painted reference lines. Did not like the white or red that is commonly used. OD works for me. Not going to repaint hubs anytime soon and left them alone. It’s a working Ranch truck.....not a show piece. Now a...

Hopefully you mean “flyable” condition. Flying means airborne. Get caught flying it, even a low hover, without the required paperwork, etc and you’ll wish you never saw it. Saw a guy do that with a Huey. Restored to flyable condition and had almost zero paperwork for work done as it was for...

Doesn’t look like it.

Fled the scene and snuck back for a picture.

But it’s a dry heat......... Yea......So is an oven. My wife’s parents live in Lake Havasu, AZ Almost as hot there as Yuma I’ll take that any day over South Texas in middle of summer. 108* plus 90% humidity .....sucks

At the very least recommended it. They might have. The OP said funds were tight. A Transmission service isn’t cheap, but it’s a LOT cheaper than a rebuild.

I would service the trans with new fluid and filter ASAP. Might help and certainly won’t hurt. Assume you checked fluid level already. How did the fluid look look and smell? Still reddish? Did it look and smell burnt? When was last service? If the new filter and fluid doesn’t help then...

Horn? My Kubota and John Deere’s never need a horn. PA system maybe, but never a horn. I spent some of today picking spent brass from behind the dash and behind/under seat. Mostly 22LR. Some 30-30. .308 also Keeping the pond free of turtles and the coyotes in check adds quite a brass...

That post was over 6 years ago. I bet he’s figured it out by now.

I bet the door failed before it opened. I’ve seen demonstrations of metal tearing away and the structural adhesive holding as designed. This is structural 2-part adhesive for aluminum. Incredibly strong and is used in New helicopter assembly and is also used for repairs. Different part...

The windshield is a structural part of any automobile/light truck. By adding adhesive, it bonds the glass to the steel and creates a much stronger driver/passenger compartment. This was one of the many items mandated by the NTSB for safety years ago. It might not seem like it would work...

The rust will not be a problem. Just keep the cap seal area clean and it will fine. It would have been easier to have painted it before install, but nothing to worry about. Croft is an excellent company.
