@mrbushhog I should be selling as soon as Dexter completes my axle, another 2 weeks or so. If you are interested still. I am in Florida though. Plant City area.

So, I was able to find an axle from Dexter. They have a part number that looks like it was almost made for the M101 trailers. It is a 5200lb axle, 3" tube, electric brakes, 63.50" hub face, 43.25 spring center with 6x5.5 bolt pattern. The only thing it is missing is a parking brake, but I can...

I know that this is from a few years ago, but if you are still following this thread, thank you. I was able to have my axle ordered and Dexter now actually has a part number for this type of swap. The only thing missing is the parking brake, but I can live without those.

I just purchased an M101 trailer and I am swapping out the axle soon. What do the budd wheels look like? I'm new to military trailers but I may have some wheels for sale. I'll include a picture of the wheels that I have.

From what I know, they were utilized for a bike rack system. It was used as a kayak/bike trailer.

Wish I could trade someone the correct axle that I need for them. I'd rather barter than buy.

I gotcha, for some reason my brain wasn't working and I thought that they were 8 lug, then I looked back at my picture. Well this should be fun, I'll have to see what specs I need for the new axle and look into E-trailer.

The lunette has been flipped, so a set of GM 8 lug would not work as it sits? Sorry for all the questions, I don't know much about these military type trailers.

So any GM 8 bolt wheel should fit? I don't want fancy, just looking to lower it a bit so it doesn't sit as high as it does right now. Looks a bit goofy and not fun to drive.

What is the A2 style axle? How does it differ from the A1?

This is what I have until I can post a better picture.

Good afternoon, this is my first military style trailer and I am having an issue with identifying the exact type or model that it is. The data plate looks to have never been stamped so I cannot go off of that, unless someone else has an idea of the markings that are on there. Any information...
