What did you put in your military trailer today?

[Corbet]

It's all downhill to get home.

I didn’t put it there... it put itself there

Nasty stupid wasps

Final firewood load of the season. Had to be conservative with the road covered in snow. But had a helper for the first time.

A few loads of gravel. I keep wanting to do some sort of a restore but never have time and it's always being used. From fire wood to gravel to leaves and dump runs add to the we just moved and had this thing loaded with furniture during the move. One day it will get some bedliner and a fresh coat of paint.

Nothing wrong with a good work trailer.

True indeed but would still like it to look nice. More importantly I need to take care of some maintenance before I worry about appearances. I've had it for about 4 years and I need to wire up the lights that are sitting in the garage, grease the wheel bearings and it could use some new shocks. I have no complaints it is reliable and always ready.

My wood trailer had a flat this morning, so I grabbed a M101 should of taken a M105. This load was just the trunk and part of a limb. Huge white oak. That's a 1 1/2 ton truck squatting, oak is heavy!

I wish I could feed my wood stoves oak rather than the junk wood we get out west.

Hardwoods are nice, seems that's what we have the most of around here. That tree and another I'm hauling today were planted right after WWll when everybody was moving to the burbs. It's pretty spooky to see those huge trees looming over the houses.

 

[Corbet]

Nothing but aspen and various pine/spruce/firs out here. Well and some cottonwoods. We can pay top dollar for cedar or pinion pulled from lower altitudes. Generally of the reservations. But at +\- $400 a cord I'll pass.

Camping stuff. Love the Navarro River.

Fireflyr,

Your 40 looks great, do you have link to a build thread? The trailer looks perfect behind it.

Fireflyr,

Your 40 looks great, do you have link to a build thread? The trailer looks perfect behind it.

I built it here back in '08 and had a couple threads, but Photosuckit has purged most of the photos. I did Poser's 4 wheel disc brake conversion, built a '73 Transition engine, 4 speed with 3 speed T-case, Paki Top, paint, lift.......... tons of work. If you search my name then you'll find them. Here's one: '67 40 Update

Mostly just driven it for the last 10 years. It's bullet-proof reliable and the only thing I ever do is change the oil.

The M-100 also has a build thread here. It had about 50 bullet holes and was crushed a bit. I kind of got into old Moto Guzzis so have been putting my time into those.

Great to hear from you again Pat! Guess you've been a very busy "fireflyr" Your rig looks awesome. Where is Navarro river? (or would you have to kill me)

Mix of black oak and maple.

 

[Corbet]

Yup, that time again. Two weeks ago, going back out tomorrow.

Nice load! Is that an M101?

Yes, M101A

Today’s take. 70 rounds. Trailer was squatting. Truck hit 250K on the trip. Had a great day with the boy.
