    M1009 towing M101A2 trailer

    That huge 5 lug pattern on the m101 and m101a1 is pretty obsolete at this point. I've never seen a 15" wheel with it either.

    What is this electrical part? M116a3

    As far as I know there's nothing special about that molded block, it's just where the wiring changes to the individuals from the wrap.

    Kitchen, field, trailer mounted, TFK250 Now gone to a new home.1/2018

    Yesterday I got word that a friend was towing a military trailer home from Kansas and needed some roadside assistance at the VT/NY state line. When I was told it was a German kitchen trailer from the Navy I figured it had to be the one mwmules was selling. You definitely notice this thing...

    CUCV Grill

    How about some pics? Did you get the truck through a government auction or a private sale?

    Heater and grill cover parts identification help

    Looks like you've got a bunch of m151 jeep heater parts. The "other" cover is a m151 series grille cover, the small light openings are for the blackout lights on the a1. The heater setup with the door that swings open up top is for m151s, it comes up through the cowl. At a glance I'd say you...

    Willys - what year and what the heck!

    Looks like a WWII 1/2 ton dodge to me. 1/2 ton dodge wheels can be run in the dual configuration.

    1972 M54A2 ideas for project.

    Yeah it seems like there are more Macks but I've seen multifuel trucks too over in Maine.

    What is the Engine in my M37??

    My guess is it'll be a 236... and that's just a guess.:smile:

    What is the Engine in my M37??

    How do you know it's a 251?

    Slave Cable

    That's a great deal for adapters for 2 pin cables to single pin receptacles. The adapters for single pin cable ends to 2 pin receptacles like pictured in post 3 are all over the place for $10-$30 but not the other ones. I'd like to have at least one to go with my 50ft 2 pin cable, I'll have to...

    Slave Cable

    I've never seen an adapter for a 2 pin cable end to 1 pin outlet for sale, where did you find them? Any pics?

    Slave Cable

    Chances are your 002a has the older 2 pin style, while the 803a has the single pin. If you pick up a single pin cable with two adapters for 2 pin outlets you'll be able to get a jump start from pretty much any vehicle on either set. 2 pin cables are pretty much only good for jumping something...

    Slave Cable

    I'd go with a single pin cable since the 2 pin adapters are easy to find. The heavy duty green ends are nice but any cable will do the trick.

    1972 M54A2 ideas for project.

    I'll also advise against bobbing it, but I've got set of 5 ton front springs over here in VT if you really want to. Your truck looks to have been used by a fire department so up here in New England that means there is a decent chance it actually served in Vietnam.

    M101A1 spare tire solutions or bracket?

    That's a common way the military did it. One trailer I had used a couple m37 shackle pins welded to the top of the mount to take the weight of the tire, the angled part on the bottom was straghtened to bolt to the frame. I've got another mount off another trailer built almost the same. The...

    5 ton gas (OK fuel) pedal sticks

    I've never had much luck fixing that without completly removing the pin to clean everything up.

    Where to get a new starter?

    If you want one that will last don't get one of the cheap gear reduction starters. I'd look at getting your current one rebuilt. I run the heavy original ones in my trucks with good results, make sure your bolts are tight and you have the brace in the front of it too.

    Titling was too easy.

    I'd just roll with it like it is, you gave them the SF-97 and the manager accepted it. I'm sure it won't take long for some other HMMWV owner who can't get their truck tagged to complain to them and say "you allowed this one to be tagged" and they'll take yours away because it's an "error"...

    What radio for Mutt M151A2 ?

    An RT-524 or PRC-77 is a good choice for an m151a2.

    Setting up to pull a trailer with 12 volt lights questions

    That's probably the best way to do it provided you own the trailer and it has surge brakes.
