    Need Some M101A2 Pictures For Repair Purposes

    Mine was the same way, looked like swiss cheese. Hard to believe that much stuff would been mounted in this thing to need that many holes. I didnt know what the holes in the top lips were for til I got the gates done, then realized they were for holding the rear door gates in the open position. Duh

    M101A2 Dump Questions

    If your really serious about a dump, I personally would recommend putting a hydraulic lift on it, and leaving the frame to stay in place and just lift the bed. Like a normal dump truck. Ive seen it done, and it seems like it would be more reliable, and safer on all the parts, then to modify...

    Useing My M101A2 and M116A2 in the 2012 Oakmont Christmas Parade

    Yeah, definitely worth it, cut the sides off and get some back, and re do some of the wood, plenty of room for Smokey, Santa and some helpers. We usually have a big wood bench our Conservation Camp made from redwood from the State Forest sitting on the end and Santa sits there. But this is just...

    Useing My M101A2 and M116A2 in the 2012 Oakmont Christmas Parade

    That is pretty cool!. I just bought an old cotton module trailer for use as a float for our fire prevention dept to use during parades. It gained me some points with our dozer operators, cuz we usually unload the bulldozer from the transport and use the transport as the float. usually put the...

    I say front too. THen you have more trailer and overhang if need for a larger or longer load. Put it on the back and you severely limit the size of the load you can carry. Plus then the weight of the crane is over the drivers. More justification... It looks to me like the trailer frame is...

    M101A2 Wood Sides

    When I brought remnants of my wood from my 1952 M101 to the lumber mill to have new wood made, thats exactly what they told me. White oak is stronger and lasts longer, and thats what the old wood from my 52 was, so thats what I replaced it with. In this area, we have a version of it called...

    Id like to get some ideas from you guys... I have the boarding ladder to make getting in the back easier when camping or loading or unloading stuff from the trailer. I kinda wanna be able to leave the tailgate closed when camping, but don't know what to do about getting the ladder secured to...
