So, I had a M116A3 chassis that I wasn't really using for anything and a couple of M105's that I don't use since selling the M35 that I pulled them with. I needed a "farm trailer" to pull behind my tractor and decided to take the bed off the M105 and put on the M116A3 chassis. Here's the M105...

Guys, I need some help. I have the M85 Laundry Unit Trailer and am needing to use the water pump on it to drain a pond. I have a generator I got from Tractor Supply I intend to run it with. I went searching for a plug at Lowes and can't find one that matches the plug on the water pump (pic...

Sold my truck today. Had been thinking about selling it as Ive got the bug for a 923/925 sitting on 16:00's, but hadn't actually put it up for sale yet. Someone called asking about it, came to look at it and drove it home. He's gonna make a drilling rig out of it. The boys don't much like that I...

Can anyone with a M116A3 measure the mudflaps and tell me how long and wide they are, and how thick? I think I may want to add a set to my M101A3. Thanks. ...

Guys I am about 100 miles away from my M105's. Can one of you do me a favor and take a couple measurements of the grab handles on the tongue are - the ones where you hook the chains when not in use - as seen in the pic? I need to know how wide they are out from the tongue and how long they are...

Been on the lookout for one of these trailers for a while now. Haven't seen any come up around home or for cheap, so I paid for one and will be taking a trip to Ft Meade soon I guess. Got one complete with tarp. Plan on using it for a dirtbike trailer. I'm gonna add a toolbox off an M116 and a...

So my parking brake hasn't been holding the truck on an incline for a while and I decided to adjust it today. I found the shoe liners are shot and I also found that the "outer shoe return spring" (?) is just leaning against the bracket that the adjusting bolt threads into. Also found that the...

I'm getting neck deep in these things. Brought the 2 newest additions home on Thursday. A rough M105A2 with a CBC. Only bought it for the CBC. It's in pretty decent shape but the lower door is cracked / busting loose like the hinges seized up and someone tried to force it open it seems. HOPE it...

So, I've got two VERY nice M105A2 trailers that look like they just came out of rebuild and were never used. They both have what looks to be "R/B CARC 08" on them. I have been kicking around selling one for a while but something tells me to hang on to them. I took a bunch of pics of one this...

Headed out in the M35 Friday morning with my brother to Twinsburg, OH to pick up the M85 Laundry Unit trailer. Was a LONG HOT ride up. Stopped a time or two to top off the fuel tank and stretch the knees out. Truck was getting pretty close to 10MPG running along at around 2300-2400 RPM and...

I think I'd like to have some sort of an MV tractor some day to pull a M128 / M129 or an M172 for personal use. I've got my CDL and own an OTR semi pulling flatbed freight so I *could* already legally drive and insure the M818. However I am not sure what the expense would be for owning an M818 -...

So I won one of these today. Always thought one with all the stuff off would make a neat flatbed trailer - to use behind a wrecker if I ever get one. Also been looking at MEP-003A's and bid on a few but lost. When I found out the M85 has an MEP-003A on it I decided to see if I could get one at a...

What size is the kingpin on the M192 trailers? Is it a normal commercial kingpin or the oversize one some of the mil trailers used? .....

I carry the geared lug wrench on the truck in case I need to change a tire on the road somewhere. The lug wrench, short handle along with the jack and other tools fit easily in the normal storage places on the Deuce. The long 36" handle does not and I didn't want it in the cab of the truck...

Anyone know what bulbs the 3 rear marker lights use on these trailers? I've got one out and forgot to take the cover off and check what bulb it was before leaving my truck today - it's 100 miles away and no place in that town has 24v bulbs. Thanks. ...

Changed the fuel filters today and found the bolts that hold the canisters on have square orings on them. These orings totre when taking the bolts out and the filter kit I got did not include them. I was able to find 2 metric standard round orings at advance auto parts that worked good enough to...

Since the glove box is too far to reach to keep readily needed items I've been thinking of some kind of console / stuff box. I used a small ammo can, ground the spot welds out to remove the hinges and latch, drilled a couple holes in each side and used corner braces found at walmart / lowes to...

Guys, this past weekend I changed the oil and filters in the M35. I started to change the fuel filters and noticed that the primary fuel filter canister on my truck is about twice as long as the filter I got in the filter kit from C&C Equipment. I am sure the filter I got is the correct one, so...

I have searched many times but never found an easy clean install of the armor dome light in a hardtop truck. Thought I'd post up the route I went in case others wanted to get some ideas. I picked up a joint of flat stock steel at Lowes to make brackets out of. Cut them to length and drilled...

I am not set on leaving Wed evening or Thur morning, but would like to convoy up to Haspin with some other MV's. Even if I have to drive out of the way to hook up with others I think a convoy'd be neat and I know my boys would love it. Anyone from these areas planning a convoy we could hook up...
