What did you put in your military trailer today? (3 Viewers)

Loaded up to head out of town to cater a wedding.

No pics, but brought an old mantle and a futon to habitat today in the 101. Worked perfectly (as usual)

Been working on an old red oak that fell earlier this year and thought I'd use one of the M101s. This one is a 53 model, just doesn't get used much. Tires are low. I'll have to go back for a second load.

Just found out that my bj46 is rated for a 3/4 ton trailer. But I'm sticking with the 1/4 tom for now. Easy peasy to pull.

2 things I have been wanting for many years. A real parts washer and a sand blasting cabinet:

Nice pieces!

Really like those M1101 M1102 trailers. Thanks for posting.

In the last week mine has been full of bulk ice, crawfish, mulch and today Mother's Day presents for my wife

 

[wngrog]

From 20 bags of mulch at 5:45 pm

To a 2f at 7 pm.

Outbound with a 2F back with pine straw

Dude, you live on a pine tree farm. But you buy pine straw?!?

It's worth $100 not to have to sort out the poison Ivy and sticks and crap.

 

[77TLCFJ40]

Yes it is!

I had poison ivy over 40% of my body in 1991. Had to get a steroid shot. I was already pissed off...

I'd pay $1000 to avoid that hell.

Rode out to car show at a local airport yesterday....won a plaque! There was some great cars there!

I put something on my trailer that makes it easier to put stuff in the trailer. HF coughed this crane up with the 20% off coupon. The tricky part was to build a firm mounting for it on the M101 CDN with minimal new holes in the tub and limited intrusion into the available space. Since I already built a bottle mount on the drawbar, that helped things out.

The comealong still needs to finish being rigged. I need to build a mount for a pulley at the end of the boom, paint the whole mess OD, and find some oak rubrail material to mount to the backside of the crossmember.

The gas bottle still just fits. I plan on using the load leveler/engine sling to load unbalanced things like my big air compressor or power washer.

The crane mount is designed to be at the center of the tripod formed by the two wheels and the landing gear. I need to do some experimenting to see if there will be a need for outriggers. I think I'll be OK so long as I keep the lifted load behind the front bulkhead of the trailer, but need to test that theory to confirm, as well as to practice my rigging. In any case, beats lifting stuff with my flaky back.

 

[GLTHFJ60]

That is pretty slick. Have you put a load on it yet?

 

[cruisermatt]

Yeah for real that is seriously cool. What's that eye-bolt (the one the come-along is hooked on) threaded into though?

 

[greentruck]

No load yet, will probably be testing re COG issues today. Should be good for what I'm considering lifting with it, but thinking no F blocks.

It's got big washers spreading the load in a hole punched in the top of the post. The eyebolt is forged and rated at 2200 lbs. I plan on derating the whole thing to 500 lbs. The come along is a 1 ton unit.

Cool. I want to copy this, but for F-Motors
