TM 9-2330-202-14&P ~ Operator's, Unit, Direct Support Maintenance and Parts Manual ~ 3/4 Ton ~ M101A2 Trailer ~ 1997

This is a quality reprint of US Army Manual TM 9-2330-202-14&P, maintenance & parts list manual for the M101A2 Trailer. Originally published in May of 1997, it provides some great information for these ¾ Trailers.  324 Pages ~ 8.5x11 Format

 From the Manual:

1-1. SCOPE

a. This manual describes Operator's, Unit, Direct Support, and General Support maintenance and contains the repair parts and special tools list for the following:

Trailer, Cargo: 3/4-Ton, 2-Wheel, M101A2 and M101A3;

Trailer, Chassis: 3/4-Ton, 2-Wheel, M116A2 and M116A2E1; and

Trailer, Chassis: 1-Ton, 2-Wheel, M116A3.

b. All M101 Series cargo trailers use the M116 Series chassis.

c. Throughout this manual, the terms "curb side" and "road side" are used to describe views of the trailer. As viewed from the rear, curb side is the right side and road side is the left side.

d. The trailers are used to carry payloads over highway or cross-country.

The pictures are very usable and not washed out or too dark like many of the manuals I have seen that from copy machines.  This is laser printed on 24 pound paper.  Copy paper is generally 20 pound and you can feel the difference.  It is bound with GBC plastic combs so that it will lay flat.  If you would like, I can, rather than bind with the plastic comb, three hole punch it for your binder.

         If you are collecting military manuals or looking for a prop to display at your next show, this is not the manual you want.  If you want some usable information on the M101A2 trailer, that will lay flat on your bench when you are working on your pride and joy or some period information on how it was done back thirty years ago while you curl up in front of the fire this winter, this is the one you need.
