I ordered a 3.5K axle today with brakes. I am not building that heavy of a frame with 6 bolt 16" rims, and 31" tires. I also ordered the same dimentions as you. 3500lbs should be just fine. I 'am expecting the trailer with box to come in @ 800 lbs. 2700lb payload is plenty.
Hey Joe, i missed one last night on eGay. I called GMA today and a brand spank'n new one is 230.5 There was one on Ebay Friday night for 150 new. thats gone go figure. I just have'nt seen many used ones around.
Well I got the stakes now. I would pay for bows just cut the ends off and I'll pay for shipping. I 'am sure they need new wood anyway. I really only need the corners.
They will fit the bill. I plan on getting them powder coated black and the bows may be wood (oak or Hickory) or matching powdercoat tube. Have'nt decided yet. The stake sides will be wood with clear poly. I can't wait to get the rest of the stuff ordered this week, axle, tires, the wheels are...

I am picking up my new M101A3 box next Tuesday from Alpha. They are nince to deal with. I went out to the yard , and Tom showed me all he had to offer to put together a trailer. He had some nice pickup trucks for sale too. Nice to deal with.
Are these Gl auction a real pain to deal with , about how long of a process is it. there are a a few nice looking trailers in the midwest on there. Unless one of you have one for sale I could recondition. Lots of really good Knowlege out here thanks guys.
The 1340 is what worries me. I borrowed a 1500lb trailer this last weekend 6x10 and towed it back and foth to St.Paul, MN , all I had in it was a wash machine and dryer. Back was better empty . Going there it felt like I was pulling a house. Maybe it was because the trailer was wider than the...
Is it possible to find just a box off A M101 then I could make a lighter weight frame for it. My research has lead me to believe the H3 is a little under-power for a M101.
