I got the trailer from Recovery4x4 its a M101A2 Thanks looks kinna kool together

The trailer started life an an M116A3 hence the heavy frame. I scrapped the body and put an A2 axle under it then added the body. One of those things I wished I'd kept.

If I run out of room in my M1031 for tools it gives me an idea for haulling more. Plus by using the older style box there is no hole in the floor.

Haha, there is a big hole in the floor. It's easy to cover up though. The hole was used for cooling of the gasoline powered welder/genset. The genset had a pallet on nylon slides so that it could be slid out for service. I included that with Doc's trailer. I had a 100 gallon transfer tank in there and it worked great.

I hope that rear section is welded on better than mine. If you haven't checked it out already, I would. Looks like my 6 year old scabbed that thing in.

[docfarmall]

[BikerBi11]

If you find 2 of them flex plates, hold one for me. I am trying to figure out what to do with my other M1010. I know it needs a flex plate for sure

Not sure what your A/C issue is but the compressor relay is under the left bench in back. I believe Lavarok has access to those if you need one.
