    can someone tell me the tongue weight of an empty m105 trailer???

    do you have any idea how much tongue weight would be for one that's empty? I would like to weld up a tongue stand before I go pick it up but don't know how heavy I need to make it.

    can someone tell me the tongue weight of an empty m105 trailer???

    Hey everyone, I'm picking up a truck/trailer on Friday. The seller had an m105 that he offered to me for a fair price so I chose to purchase it. The trailer has bows, sideboards and a tarp that could probably stand to be replaced. My main question is this: the trailer is missing the front jack...

    anyone set up a former military trailer for hauling kayaks???

    Hey everyone, I'm picking up a m818 and a m105 this weekend. I'm going to put some sort of a ladder rack or cross bar system to hold our kayaks. Just curious if anyone has any ideas that they would like to share? I'm also thinking about maybe putting a rack on the back of the truck for now...

    Does anyone know the weight of 5th wheel assembly???

    Thanks for the heads up. I guess it couldn't hurt to post it up first. I had back surgery 3 months ago and really don't need to be wrestling something that big/heavy at home without help or the right equipment.

    Does anyone know the weight of 5th wheel assembly???

    I think I will probably end up removing more of the hardware for the 5er and then carry it to a scrap yard to offload it. I'll probably keep the ramps in case I have a use for them in the future but I do not see any reason why I would need to keep the 5er .

    Does anyone know the weight of 5th wheel assembly???

    Hey everyone, I'm going to be looking to remove a 5th wheel assembly from a m818 and going back with a flatbed. I'm curious if anyone has an idea of what the actual 5th wheel assembly weighs? I tried searching on here and google but haven't found any info on how much it weighs.

    Bought an 818 tractor tonight.....what are my options for a short flatbed on the rear

    actually it's your truck that made me want to do this!!!! I've found a deuce bed locally for $800 and will likely go that way. They said they would set it on the truck for me so I would have to bolt it down and drive it home.

    Bought an 818 tractor tonight.....what are my options for a short flatbed on the rear

    that's what I was asking. If I find a deuce bed can I go get it put on the truck(at the sellers) drive it home with the overhang then trim the rear when I get home with it. I would think I could take out the wheel wells of a 105 bed.....wonder if anyone has tried that before.

    Show us your Military Trailers

    Thanks 25. I was on the ladder when my disc ruptured and then I fell to the ground. I didn't fall and rupture my back.....still each time I work on the trailer it's always on my mind to watch my step.

    I purchased a beat up m416 last fall and have been working on it over the fall/winter. I fell from the trailer in October and had to have emergency back surgery for a bilaterally ruptured disc in my back. I am also picking up a M101a trailer next week and am planning on leaving it as close to...

    Any idea of what I should expect to pay per loaded mile for hauling a deuce and 1/2

    yeah I would prefer to drive it but the last two times I tried that I got burned. I bought a motorcycle and when I got out there it wasn't safe to even put on the road. More recently I bought an old Jeep and flew out to drive home what was suppose to be a "pristine" Jeep......needless to say I...

    Which Deuce model would be considered a "best buy" for the money???

    Thanks for the help. I also registered today on Govliquidation.com and have started looking on there. My big hesitation with that is I will have to purchase based on pictures and not seeing it in person. Is that how most everyone buys these? I am also trying to determine if it would be advisable...

    Which Deuce model would be considered a "best buy" for the money???

    Hey everyone, I've been a long term lurker here and have an M416 trailer that I have been putting together. I don't know why but I just want a Deuce. My wife thinks I'm nuts but for some reason I am really drawn to them. I am an avid kayaker so it would be great for hauling lots of gear for...
