Interesting Trailer on Ebay

Here's an interesting find. From afar looks like an M105 but it's actually an M104. Check out that front gate!

Is the front gate the only difference between the M104 and M105?

as far as I know, yes.

Here is a woodworking M105. Wish he had pictures of the inside.

No, the front gate is not the only difference (I have a M104 and a M105 in the yard right now...)
The M104 has a front gate, and required a different front landing leg than the M105 in order for the front gate to sit flat when open. The front landing leg on the M104 does not come above the frame whereas the M105 version does. (anyone have a spare M104 landing leg they'd like to part with??).
The M104 used double ended hoses and electrical line to connect to the tow vehicle. The M104 has a pair of glad hands and a trailer electrical socket on it that is identicle to the glad hands and trailer socket that is on the back of a M35... Loose enough hoses and intervehicular cables, and you switch to the style that is on the M105 where they are affixed to the trailer...
M104 also ran on 1100x20 tires in order to be utilized behind the GMC and REO designed dueces with the single tires on the rear axles instead of the trucks with the 900x20 duels such as the M35...
The hub assembly is also a tad different on the M104 and the center of the hub sticks out father through the wheel than on a M105 so changing tires on the M104 is a little easier...
Oh yeah, of course the wood racks on the M104 are slightly different since it has a front gate... but the sides and rear are the same...

Thanks for the links...

OH MY GAWD! That fellow is nuts. You can buy an assortment of M series trailers, with canvas and bows from an assortment of dealers FOR WAYYYYYY less than $500.00 each.

He's making a killing. (note: there are a couple on ebay I saw this weekend barely budding past $300; I saw quite a few on GL go for less than $200...)

Doc, that $699 price for that Seemingly stock M105 is actually a great price. That trailer comes factory with a liftgate and a killer radial arm saw. Seen them go for over $1000 easy before.

wow that is news, and I didn't see the saw.. see saw... or liftgate. I really do have good reading comprehension, that is, if I read the thing.
