I think I read on here that the M101A1 trailer works best although I don't think they made an M715 specific trailer. If you wanna find one they normally have a few on Steelsoldiers.comQuote:

It is a 3/4 ton unit but it isn't exactly M715 specific...it is also correct for M37's and maybe other stuff. It has the Dodge M37/old style PowerWagon type 5 lug wheels with each lug nut taking a 1 ½ inch socket to remove...unlike the 6 on the M715 that take 1 inch sockets...
They have a 3 view drawing in that manual and specs for the trailer.
The M101 trailers with the five lug bud wheel is the one meant to be towed behind the 715. In fact the military had an adaptor made up so you could temporarily use your 715 spare on the trailer. It uses I think three wheel studs on the trailer and three on the 715 spare. I have one kicking around in storage somewhere. I have a pioneer tool trailer on the 101A1 trailer chassis to build for my camp gear trailer to tow behind my 715. I am actually thinking about taking an extra rear axle from a 715, some 101A2 trailer parts and making a custom axle with 715 lug pattern with surge brakes to put under it. When and if I do I will do a build thread and post here about it. The M101's and M101A1's were the ones with the five lug buds. The A2's and A3's are the 8x6.5 pattern with surge brakes meant to be towed behind CUCV and HMMV.
thats sounds pretty cool glenn i like to see that in the future :D

The grenade is fine,its the pull pin and lever that tear your hand up. I had to 86 my levers.

Looks just like mine did a couple weeks ago! Are they "shot" or just loose? You can easily adjust the shims to take out any play and tighten them back up. That's all I did with mine, but the bearings and bushings were still in pretty good shape.
This place has what appears to be the correct parts

"QK4616 Large Knuckle Bearing & Bushing Kit"

Looks like you have the same spindle nut socket that I got too...
Just out of curiosity, what size did you use? I got the 2 9/16 but it was a little big, so I think mine were 2 1/2". I've read on here that people have found both sizes, but the "factory" socket is 2-9/16".
mine were pretty bad the race's were all chewed up but the top mount was'nt to bad
can't seem to find the top brass bushing things on the kingpin knuckle...
it looked like they had them on the quad4x4 site. Maybe it would be worth giving them a call. I recall seeing a while back that some people do away with the bushing and just use another tapered roller bearing on top, since they are easier to come by. You could check to see if the races are the same, and try fitting one knuckle with both of your bearings. If it works, just get two bearings for each side and a new shim kit.
yeah i'll give them a call
this is another one im having a hard time finding.. alot of places are telling me they don't make it anymore

if thats the metal ring with the rubber seal for the knuckle seal, it comes in the kit from BJ's that I linked above... The kit includes new outer plates and bolts, felt rings and the inner metal/rubber seal rings- everything you need to rebuild the knuckle ball seals.
yeah and your right quad4x4 has it to the part number if anyone wants to know is qu40189 and its $72 bucks per side but thats the whole kit gaskets rings and all
Good to know!!! Thanks Beef
yup, I looked it up on their site and that's everything. Just as a note for anyone looking to buy them, I've had good luck with BJ's in the past, and the kit they sell is the same thing, and genuine spicer parts but for less than 1/2 the price. Not sure how they pull that off...
yeah i think i might go with bj's kit.....delt with them in the past when i had an old waggy... they are pretty nice and helpful
bblllaahh nevermind bj's says they only carry the kit for a dana 44 close knuckle its smaller.....gggrrrrrrrr
Is this brass cone what you need? on ebay.

I just found this place... looks like they sell the felt and the rubber seal separately
