Here's a couple of pics I just snapped. The rust along the front panel seam does not go all the way through that I can tell. Hopefully a little spot blasting here will be all the blasting needed - from what I've seen, it is. The racks might take a little sanding to smooth them out. A quick...

Well then he got a great deal then! The chains did reach, but they were a little tight for my likeing - I added 6 links counting the connecting links (about 8"). Plus the hooks wouldn't fit into the chain hook holes in the receiver.

I was definately prepared - had an extra 100# of stuff inthe back of the expedition. Well worth the effort though! I should have stayed and watched the excitement since I had some extra time. Could have checked out some of the future auctions too. I'll get a few pics tomorrow. She is overall...

I really was expecting to be there alot longer, but no security check + a ready to go trailer made it quick and painless. I would really have liked to see that D7 sitting in my yard more than the trailer, but the 1st Sergeant said the guy paid $44,000 for it and was complaining (on the phone)...

Well, I went to get the trailer this morning. Left the house at 0630 - had to be there at 0800. No security check whatsoever - the guard told me exactly where to go. I got around to the GL area and the 1st Sergeant was helping the GL guy to get a Cat D7 that wouldn't turn left out of the fence...

Rosie, I'm one of those whose biggest fear travelling is to break down and be left stranded - that's why I asked this question to start. I would rather take the extra time and take the back roads to be near people and towns than to be stranded on the interstate in the middle of nowhere.

That's what I figured would be the problem if anything - locked up brakes. I know they probably locked the hand brakes when they parked it, and if it sits, it will lock up.

I'm pulling it out of Leesburg, SC. We called it the Wet Site (for obvious reasons) when I was in the Guard. It is a NG training area on the back side of Ft. Jackson, SC. So a 3/8" hitch pin thru the hole shown would be a better idea than a bolt - I might already have one of those. Thanks guys!

Man, getting in depth here. I didn't know about the chains not reaching. I knew my M416 chains wouldn't reach, but figured a bigger trailer would have longer chains for some reason. How do I lock out the surge brake? I imagine some PB Blaster would be in order too - in case something's sticky...

Good stuff guys! I need more on locking out the brake b/c that sounds like what I need to do since it is empty and don't know it's condition. I downloaded a manual and read through alot of it but don't remember seeing that. I'll look again. I've got an air tank, but not a reliable small air...

Alright, I will be going to recover an M101a2 from GL next week. What tools/equipment do I need to take? So far I've got: Tie wire/zip ties 3/4" lug wrench (is this the right size?) 3/8" socket set 4 wire trailer wiring harness & towing light set (unopened) just in case tire guage brake fluid
