Wallew, Thank you for the post, and information. I like to go by the book, just to be safe, that is why I was asking about an M416. Thank you,

Hello Epartsman, Thank you for the message and the information. I suppose I will go out and get a grease gun and grease then. No problem. Do you have a photo or two, showing how you secured your 09 pintle with that "L bracket"? So perhaps I can do the same thing. Especially after I get a...

Hello Nattie, Thank you for the advice.. And the information. I am wise enough to not overload anything. I have had experience with loading trucks, trailers, etc.. some anyway. I would like an M416 since it is the trailer that should go with the M1009, but I do not want to tow anything...

Evil Dr. Porkchop, Thank you for the post, and the information. I will keep my eyes open for an M416, and if I can get one with brakes, then so much the safer.

Combst32, Thank you for the reply, and the information. I would like to be extremely safe as possible, so if it costs me a bit more for an M416, then so be it, it is better to be safe than sorry, so as to not kill anyone. And I plan on following the advice here, and get a receiver hitch...

Combst32, When you said..."My friend hauls his M274 in a 101 behind his 1009 and I use a 116 to haul my M274 behind my 1008 when we go out wheelin on the mules.It seems to pull it fine with no issues," I am wondering, when you guys do that. Are you using the M1009's stock pintle hitch? Or...

TWA, I have done some inquiring into a tranny cooler. I know where I am at on that. That is why I have not asked anyone here about one. Unless someone here will be nice enough to offer some advice on the subject. Thank you, Good night, God bless all of you, CJ

Hello Csm, Thank you for the post, and the words of wisdom. You are exactly right.. I will be needing a trailer in the not too distant future, to empty out my storage unit. By hauling most of the contents to a local auction house, that may be able to sell most of whats in it. What they do...

Hi Guys, As I said, If I tow at all, I will do what I can, to make it as strong as it can be, so it will be as safe as possible. I refuse to tow anything that is too heavy. By the way, why am I on an ignore list in the first place? Just wondered. I know I have not said or done anything to...

Ryan, Just in case your last post was for me. Here is my answer. I am listening to you guys. That is why I would rather stick with an M416, or an M116a2.. But at some point soon, I will be getting a class III or 4 receiver hitch, with a forged pintle. I have looked into the cost of what I...

Huphalump, Thank you again, I am glad to hear the M116A2 has brakes, and weighs only 750lbs +/- . After all, it is the chassis for the M101 series of trailers in the first place. If I got the M116A2, and later wanted an M101A2 trailer, I would just need to look for an M101 bed, then bolt it...

Hello Huphalump, Again, thank you for the message and the information. It has been duly noted, and will be considered. Do those trailers have any brakes of their own? Good night, CJ

Huphalump, Thank you for the message, and the information. I had not considered that trailer, but it is duly noted, and I will take it into consideration. I was mostly inquiring about the M416, because from what I have read here and elsewhere, that is by the book, the correct trailer for the...

TyJustice, Thank you for your message and advice. But if I seem like I am overreacting, my apologies. But I think my skin is thick enough, as I said, I can take alot. But everyone reaches a limit, before they start to get a little annoyed with mistreatment. Have a good day Sir, I wish...

Hi Rick, With all due respect, I do not beg, never have and never will. I know I have posted a bit.. But I only post seeking guidance or assistance, not character assassination, or insults. Criticism is fine though. And if there is anyone I myself can help in any way I can, I would be glad...

Hello GM-M1008, Thank you for the message and information. This is why I am hesitant to move on this... So many different and opposing facts, information, opinions, etc. I simply do NOT want to tear up anything in/on my M1009, but I have a need in the near future for a trailer, to do...

Hello Cucv1833, Thanks for the message and information. It has been duly noted, and considered. Good night, CJ

LOL.. Looks like this thread is going off the main track, and onto a siding now.. LOL... CJ

Hello Orionspath, Lucky for you. But I am talking about an M1009 towing an M101.. Different combo than yours. Good night and God bless you for sharing information though.. CJ

TyJustice, Thank you for the message.. But I am not preoccupied with exceeding my M1009's weight limits, I do NOT want to do that at all.. But hndrsonjr said towing a M101 would exceed the M1009's limits, according to the TM's.. But you are telling me that the M1009 CAN handle towing...
