    Rebuilding MY m101a2 BY harleyhouse

    What hot water heater did you get. Been eyeballing an Eccotemp L5 and a stack of Scepter MWCs.

    Looks good. I guess people are right, you are never done with these.

    Have a safe trip. My trailer's first trip was a cross country one as well.

    M101A3 Finished my build...

    Can you post more pics and specs of your roll bar and how you attached it to your trailer. Nice build. What did you get for your lights/wiring? Clean looking build. How is the tongue weight with the spare?

    m101a2 brake fluid cap removal

    HA. It made the decision to remove the surge brake assembly that much easier. Only a few drops of fluid were in the entire system. Yes, the cap just screws off.

    I would wait until you get the axle and wheels mounted up before you chop the fenders. You may enjoy being able to see the trailer in your mirrors.

    I like how you are still able to use the tarp cover with the verticals supports. Any plans to make the deck height adjustable?

    M101 A3 Build Utility, Camping, etc.

    I thought the same thing. Ended up going with some Dextero AS E Rated tires from Walmart. $111 otd (mounted and balanced).

    M101A3 DTY Steel Stakes uprights.

    ~2"x1.5" The fit front to back is good. A little bit of movement but just enough to allow easy removal. I tried this stake in all the pockets and it was obvious that not all of the pockets are the same. Side to side, the fit is tunable. I will probably cut each stake a little thicker then...

    M101A3 DTY Steel Stakes uprights.

    Prototype looks good. This was 14 ga scrap. I will probably make the main rack out of 3/16 and only use a stake in each corner. I am giving some thought to drilling out the spot welds that hold the spring clips inside the pocket then boxing the stake.

    Removing the brake drum - need to pull the grease cap????

    I think you are better off leaving the drum on the hub and removing the hub/drum assembly. On my trailer, those two Phillips head screws were very difficult to get out, even with the hub off the trailer and laying flat on the ground. Once I got the screws out, it felt like the drum was press...

    New Guy with M101A3

    Been a while since my last update. Nothing major just a few things to make it a bit more useful. The "to do" list is still pretty long and progress is slow. Now I am kicking around the idea of putting a torsion axle on it. It will allow me to get some electric brakes and will drop the deck...

    M101 A3 Build Utility, Camping, etc.

    It's funny, I ended up scrapping a lot of parts because of that membership too. I wonder how many pays have been trashed because people do not want to pay to use the for sale section. The only work around is for more people to use the parts wanted section then go through PMs.
