thanks to all of you for your ideas. I see no reasn why I can't handle the trailer offloading with a friend to help. jerry :)

thanks acehigh......this is turning out to be a very positive evening!:-P

I hope usaa does it. there is not a better company. have been a member for almost 50 years! just wish they would still write homeowners ins in my area. stopped after one of the hurricanes about 10 years ago. still have everything else with them

jimbob thanks for the experience you have shared and the pics. you are using yours for the exact purpose i have in mind. now a different question. guess i'll have to find someone with a tractor to loft these off the trailers unless i can install casters while on the trailers, replace the...

the locking casters are what i have. 2 free, 2 locking and the wheels are solid! this may work out okay. was really concerned about enough vibration to eat up the bearings, but if the engine mounts are in decent shape (right now under a foot of snow) maybe vibration won't be as much of an...

I recently won and retrieved a MEP-002a and a MEP-003a. Have been thinking about putting 4 heavy duty casters under each so they can be moved around for maintenance in their new shed to be built in the spring. Has anyone tried this? Also, would like to make ASKs for them. Anyone done this...

Thanks. Merry Christmas to all. Jerry

thanks. i feel fortunate. jerry

Last week I picked up a M101A3 at Ft. Meade and the next day added a MEP002a to it at Newcastle, DE. Towed them home in Thursday's snow/ice storm without incident. Custom hitch mount worked great! Even with the 37" HMMWV wheels it ran almost level behind my 1/2 ton Chevy crew cab...

i picked up 2 trailers past 2 weeks. the one this morning was a mep003 on a 116a2. in both cases i was able to hook the chain hooks together and drape them behind the mounting plate for the pintle hitch. changed out the bulbs to 12 volt and aired the tires. today's haul was 440 miles from ft...

As I told my friend, Al, things seem to be as they were when we last saw them. My winnings were as they were when i bidded on them. Hopefully, his will be restored by the time he claims them. merry Christmas! jerry

Eric, will post some pics when all is home. we will be headed to FL in 2 weeks so, unless it really warms up, these will sit until we return in mid-April. jerry

Am home safe! Generator pick up went well. rougher condition than i hoped for with "10" hours but was as shown in the auction pics. we'll see what it takes to get it going in the spring. holes in the trailer didn't match so i drilled one new one and carried it home on 2 bolts mounted...

Am at Aberdeen Proving Ground Army lodging for the night. All went well at Ft. Meade GL. the trrailer even still had the crank handle in place for the tongue jack! Met SS Member "USMC80" there who was also picking up a trailer. Very nice young man who helped me test out the tail light...

All EUCs in Well. off to make the pick ups! More good news....the EUC on the SC MEP 003a on trailer came through yesterday, so I will be headed south on Monday. Busy next few days!

hopefully the small compressor will do the job.

Thanks Lucky Dog, I am assuming 1/2" bolts will work. Do you remember the size? I have a 12 volt compressor with me and a jack so i can check whether wheel bearings are decent. Also 12 volt bulbs, brake fluid, grease, tools, wiring adapter, etc. Figure i can get the trailer squared away...

Did it damage the box receiver on your vehicle? That has been my primary worry.

"Hey storeman, bet I can bend your hitch too!" AceHigh, that was the plate i looked at from northern when i decided to have a heavier one done from some 1/2" plate i had on hand. cost me $50, a bit less than the northern rig but it is much more rigid. i'm sure it can be damaged though. what...

thanks 48Chevy6. i believe the 101 series trailers all have the smaller lunettes that should work in the combination pintle hitch. the 101a3 and the 116a2 are the biggest items i'll try to pull with my pickup. If anyone out there knows differently regarding the lunette size, please chime in...
