Thanks for the web sites. Neither shows drums for sale.

So are our brakes made by Dexter?

Does anyone know of a source for M101A3 brake drums? Can you post a link?

White Owl doesn't have any. Should I check anywhere else?

I was looking at my M101A3 and saw that one of the brackets that holds the bows when not in use is missing. Does anyone know where I can find one? I circled the part I am looking for in red in the attached picture. TIA, Bob Elliott

I have the whit chalky primer under the paint. I'll try the acetone test to see if I have water based paint. Because I had the white chalky primer I knew I had to take the trailer down to bare metal and start over. I didn't want to inhale paint dust that could hurt me.

I have a M101A3 that I bought last summer to haul firewood. I store it in a carport so it is out of the weather but I see the paint flaking off in sections both inside and outside the bed. I would like to paint the inside of the bed with bedliner to protect it. I read on this forum that the...

I wieghed my wheels when I got my trailer. They were 165 pounds each. I contiplated removing the run-flat inserts because I thought it may reduce the rolling inertia which woudl help my mileage to get the trailer moving and stopping. I read a few posts at the Hummer board about the run-flat...

What kind of truck do you drive?

I thought sure I woudl need a EUC and was shocked when I got the completed invoice. I expected to get the trailer two months later than I did and had to scramble to get time off work and plan the trip. I rounded up the materials to wire the lights for 12v, a pintle hitch and adapter, located a...

Before you change the brakes you should consider that the military designed these trailers to be towed off-road. I have had mine off-road with the brakes it came with and didn't have a problem. There is a brake lock-out hole in the tongue that will disable the surge brakes if you need to. I...
